FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH. ~ PAPERS. • • (irrem the Gazette de 7 Oanie, dated 'Dee. 1.) BERLIN ; NOV.-2 4..—0n the 4th of hit month Prussia coschtded with the Hanseatic . cities of Ham burgh, Lubeck, and Bremen 'a treaty of commerce and navigation, which having been ratified by the respective States; has beenpubliihedto-day` in the Bulletin of the Laws. This treaty is extremely im portant, and gives the most extensive facilities to commerce. It is founded entirely on the system of reciprocity,. and gives to - the subjects of the Hati seatic cities the same rights as to the Prussians. (From the Moniteur of Sunday.) PARIS, Nov. 29,-7-pet:patches from the Marquess de Maison, dated the 9th inst., were received yes terday at Paris. .The General has brought back to Nayarit' and Modon part of the troops which .were employed in the attack on the castle of Moiea. The health of the division begins to improve, and it is hoped that the temperature of the month of November will be much more favourable. There' is every reason to believe that the unhealthy .position near Navarin, which some of the corps avt ; re obliged to occupy till the embarkation of the,Etlyptians, has greatly con tributed to increase the number of the sick. This cake ne longer .exists; and the quartering of the troops in towns, or-in barracks, will secure them, in some measure, from the influence of the climate. it appears, howe% er, from the last lists that have reach ed the War-Office, that the whole division had, on the Ist November, nearly 800 sick, but almost all of them were cases of intermitting fever, which. are not so serious as in some cases, when they first ap peared. The division, since it departed from Tou lon, had to regret the loss of 252 men. The Commissariat department is. extremely well regulated. Numerous supplies of oxen from Italy have made it possible to distribute constantly during the last month fresh meat of excellent quality. The soldiers receive every day a double ration of wine, and have every reason to be satisfied with the pro visions of every kind: given to them. The cavalry and draught horses and the mules have not yet suf fered. The magazines of oats, barley, straw, and hay, with the slender resources that the country still affords, have sufficed to keep them in good condi tion and fit for service. (From the Courier Francais of Sunday.) Pasts, Nov. 30.—Prinee Polignac has been se veral days at Paris, without any question of any secret Court intrigues arising, and without the Mi nisters appearing agitated about the preservation of their portfolio 3. That is a phenomenon Worthy of remark. A little while ago, the appearances beyond the precincts of our Ambassador at London were a sig nal of alurm to the Ministry: All the batteries im mediately put in motion to disconcert the machina tions of the boudoir and sacristy incessantly renewed to raise Prince Polignac to the Presidency of the Council, or at least to the head of one of the Mi. niaterial Departments. on board the Mercury steam-boat, which is said to be a very fine vessel. His return has eausel univer sal surprise among the Greeks. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.-HaTilbUrgh, Nov. 28. 13 ; two ►nonths, 13 B : l.—Christiana, Nov. 19. Three months, 6 Iti.—Leipsic, Nov. 24.

HA.SII3URGII, Nov. 28.—BORSEN-HALLE, FOUR o'CLoCK.—Considerable supplies of wheat have been received from the Upper and Lower Elbe in the course of the week; but ms the purchasers were rather reserved, no sales were to be made for ex portation except at reduced prices. Our own con sumers have taken but little. Some rye has been sold for exportation; our own consumers have taken but little, so that a consider able quantity remains unsold in our market. Of barley we received several cargoes from Magdeburgh and the Saale, which were readily taken for exportation at the prices quoted. Oats continue of ready effle for exportation, if the quality be good: inferior qualities are of very heavy sale. From the 11th to the 20th of November loglo sive, sixty-seven cargoes of corn passed the Sound t of these, fifty were bound to British, six to Dutch, and one to French ports; one to Bremen, and the . remainder chiefly to Swedish and Norwegian ports.

Addington, British Minister to the German Diet, has left this city in consequence of orders sent to him to return to Lon dole As INT. Addington \vas formerly Secretary of Legation in Washington, it is supposed that his pre- I sence ill London is required - to give information on 1 various subiecte; connected with the relations be- tween England and the United states. CONsTANTENOPEE, OCT. 26.—A new enrolment of Turkish militia has lately taken place. here; f 3,000 were entered as fit for service. Tehapan Oglou Paella, who has arrived from Asia, furnishes a con- tingent of 12,000 men, which is expected every hour. The dearness of corn and all 'provisions increases every day, and begins to be sensibly felt. It is ne cessary to have guards constantly stationed before the bakers shops, to keep off the crowd and prevent excesses. It is to be hoped that the 100 cargoes of corn expected from Egypt will soon arrive, though several ships bound to this port are said to have been taken by the Russians and Greeks. If the arrival of these supplies should be long delayed, the most serious apprehensions may be entertained. SYRA, Oc'r. 2.—The President has at length consented to call a national Assembly, and ap• pointed Poros as. the place of meeting; but all the Greeks prefer:Darnala, because the freedom of opi nion will be less checked there by the e presence of foreign ships of war. The public is much engaged in discussing the answer of the Porte and the Am bassadors; it obstinately repels the principle of in , tervention, and contests the right, but invites the Ambassadors of France and England to Constanti nople, to terminate amicably the affairs of It will not send a Plenipotentiary to Poros. These are its final resolutions, which it has expressed in cLeisive terms. To judge by the preparations making in Attica and Negropont, Omer Vrione is preparing to make a vigorous resistance if he should be attacked. Fl has purchased the whole of the harvest in the vici nity of Athens, and conveyed it to the A c ro polis. -- The works of the citadel are being repaired and ins creased; the Philopagus, which commands h on one side, is fortified and provided with artillery. Four thousand regular troops form the garrison of the ci tadel, and 6,000 irregulars occupy the most impor tant positions in the vicinity. For. Jarababa, which defends the bridge to Negropont on the side of At tica, is being fortified, as well as the town ,of that name and Karisto:' The whole Turkish populatien of Attica and Eubeea is underarms, and expects rein forcements from Western Greece.

The French Journals contain little interesting or important intelligence. The Gazette de France (of data Dec. 1.) states that a treaty of commerce and navigation on the reciprocity sys tem had been concluded by Pt ussia with the Hanseatic cities of Hamburgh, Lubeck, and Bre men. This treaty, it is added, gives to the ka:bjects of the Hanseatic cities the same privi leges as to the Prussians. The Prince POLIG NAC, it seems, has been for several days in Paris, and as there are no system of intrigue visibly eoonected with his appearance there, the Pari sians are somewhat astonished. Hamburgh Papers have beets received, their cootents are barren and uninteresting. The only points worth mention are that a new enrolment of Turkish Militia has lately taken place, at Constantinople, and that TCtIAPAN OGLOU DACHA, TYIIO has arrived from Asia, has fur nished a contingca of 12,000 men. These two facts would seem to indicate determination on the part of the SULTAN, who considers the war with Russia as hardly yet begun, and is prepared for " rude encounter:' Lord COCIIRANE has returned to Poros : his return occasioned much surprize among 69 Greeks. The Allgemeine Zeitung to the 27th tilt., re ceived this morning, contains some furthsr in formation respecting the fall of Varna, and the Austrian Observer of the 25th, confirms the deposition of the GRAND VIZIER, his banish ment, and the appointment of the CAPITAN PACIIA in his room. JUSSUF, to whose bad conduct the fall of Varna is ascribed, has been publicly outlawed by a fetwa of the MUFTI. The following are %extracts:— A Nov.uosnu 2 n s 7 l , l a N s o a v e . c 2 o s u . n t s The Austrian Observer, of from Constantinople of Oct. 29, which vary but little from those given in the Allgemeine Zeitung, They confirm th e deposition of the Grand Viz;er and his banishment, and the appointment of the Capitan Paella in his room. Jussuf, t o w h ose b a d conduct the fan of Varna is ascribed, was Pacha of Seres, and has been pblicly outlawed by a fetwa of the Mufti. The military armaments have been cart ;Led on with increased activity since the P orte learnt the fall of Varna. The conscription o f oz the Musselmen in the capital, and the register ing of those able to bear arms, which had been suspended, has now been resumed; military stores, artillery, and ammunition, are continually sent off to the army ; troops, especially cavalry, are daily arriving from Asia, and continue their march almost immediately. Within these few days the Ayan s of Karahissar, Aidin, Kastamuni, Biredshik, and Vandourma have passed through the capital. Another division of Russian prisoners has lately ar rived, and 30 waggons loaded with standards, arms, uriutepn, drums, &c., taken in the latter actions be , fore Varna, which were favourable to the Turks. The arrival of some ships from Odessa laden with provisions (but no corn) has already been mentioned. The letter in the Austriiin Obierver says, on this subject, " We have been much surprised within these few days at the arrival of several, ships from the Black S ea , l oa d e d no t on ly w ith butter, caviare, and other provisions, (though no corn) but with hemp, cordage, iron; and other suckarticles, which are usually considered as contraband of war, though they came with the permission of the Russian Go vernment." • The Greek Bee, of Sept. 23, 'Contains a letter from the President of Greece to the Panbellenion, announcing the arrival of the French expedition, to carry into effect the treaty of London. He says, _that the three Ambassadors had invited him on their arrival at Poros to furnish him with statistical information, which he had already requested the members of the Panhellenion to procure frOm au thentic sources, arid he now begs they will be as expeditious as possible. He further states, that Count Bulgari had arrived with credentials as agent from the Russian Government, and that he is authorised to say that Mr. Dawkins may be shortly expected as agent from the British Government. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 25. The capital has recovered fiorn the despondency which the first news of the loss of Varna occasioned. Thirty thousand men, levied in the capital and en virons, are to reinforce the army on the Balkan, and the troops collected in Albania are to be ordered to remain where they are, and not proceed to the Danube, as was befornintended. Hence it is thought the Porte intends not only to act with vigour against the Russians, but also to assert its rights over Greece, though the Egyptian troops have evacuated the Morea. This resolution, if the French troops should remain long in Greece, may cause the most dangerous political embarrassments, and we have only 'to hope that the unremitted endeavours of the Austrian and Netherlands Ambassadors may induce the Porte to adopt a more conciliatory system. Hitherto the capital enjoys perfect tranquillity, and no want of provisions is felt; but the blockade of the Dardanelles, and the shipping of supplies, may eas:ly produce a scarcity. In this case the numerous poor classes might the more readily be impelled to the greatest excesses, as the Government is destitute of pecuniary resources, and the treasury is exhausted. An Anniversary Meeting of the Mechanics' Institute was held last night; Dr. BIRKBECK presided, and took the opportunity of informing the Members present that the Society, despite the sneers of some and the envy of others, was in a highly flourishing condition; that its funds were amply sufficient to defray its immediate expenses, that its numbers were daily in creasing, and the sphere of its influence was proportionately extended. To those who love to watch the progress of the human mind towards a social and intellectual perfection, this must be very gratifying intelligence. It shows them that a lofty spirit is abroad ; a spirit that is every where stirring up the nation to pay unwearied attention to literature and science. A century ago England consisted of only two classes, the highest and the lowest, the peer and the peasant. • Since then (thanks to the mighty influence of education) a middle class has sprung up, which in point of numbers, influence, wealth, and respectability, is fast tread: ing on the heels of the Aristocracy. A more general diffusion of the same fostering influence, is now bringing forward the very lowest class ; these last are taught not only to think and calculate, but even to weigh, compare, and decide; already they have contributed a more than due proportion to the wealthy national magazine of arts, science, and literature, and will at no distant period possess, whe ther for good or evil, an immense and un precedented moral power. Institutions to pro mote this influence are now every where scattered throughout the country ; but to none is more respect due than to the Mechanics' Institute, which, founded by BIRKBECK, and patronized by BROUGHAM, has forced its way through every obstacle, heedless of the scorn and laugh ter that rang around it, like the voices that strove to daunt the gallant Prince HASSAN, on his uphill road to the Enchanted Fountain. In addition to Dr. BIRKBECK'S favourable accounts of the Institution, he indirectly in formed us that Mr. DENA! AN had obtained the honour of a silk gown. This is but a tardy— we hope not reluctant—reward ; yet never has it graced the shoulders of a more deserving cha racter. Mr. DENMAN is one of those illustrious few, who, through evil and through good report, have zealously espoused the cause of education, and whose memories will be enshrined in the same historic page which transmits the name of BROUGHAM to posterity. 4 SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIRS OF SCOTLAND. —On Friday the Society held their Anniversary Meeting in their Hall on the Mound, when the office-bearers for the year ensuing were elected, viz :—The Eail of Elgin and Kincarpline, Presidents.

The Hull packet, Main, of North Shields, Samuel Cousins, of Bridlington, and Jupiter, of Sunder land, were driven on shore near Bridling/on. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE- 0' CLocr. The accounts received this morning at Lloyd's Coffee-house are fraught with a dismal list of disasters to the shipping interest, particularly on the Northern and Eastern coasts, from the suddenness of the commencament of a gale at N.N.E.; numbers of vessels hare been stranded, totally lost, or other wise injured, but it has been attended with the loss of life in a less degree than might be expected from its violence. Alluding to the City article of a morn ing cotemporary, in which fears are expressed for the safety of the Princess Elizabeth packet from Buenos Ayres, we think it proper to mention, that upon pe rusing the writer's own statement there is not the least alarm, even if she had sailed from Buenos Ayres on the Ist of September, and to this may be' added that it was understood she would be detained there to carry the intelligence of the ratification of peace with the Brazilian Government; and the Nocton packet, which took down the treaty from Rio de Janeiro for that purpose, did not sail from thence until the Ist of September, consequently it is more than probable that she would be further de tained after that period, and would touch, on her re turn, at Rio ; thus any delay may be fully accounted for, and she may be considered in regular course. It is with concern we notice the frequent alarms occa sioned by such vague calculations, which tend to create anxiety in the minds of many persons having friends and connections on board; and the inappro priate term of death ships is used in a very unguarded way by persons who hardly know the stern from the stem of a vessel when they see it. The Princess Elizabeth is a fine post office regular packet and not a Government brig. By some unaccountable error the bsg with the Gravesend letters has not been re ceived this morning, and no lists of arrivals are at hand—a very unusual occurrence. The New 4 per Cents. shut yesterday, and Con sols this day, preparatory to making up the books for the next dividend.

Mr. BROUGHAM stated that this was an action for an assault. The plaintiff, Mr. Harwood, was a Captain of a merchant vessel, which was also the profession of the defendant. The plaintiff was 66 years of age, and the defendant was a much younger man. In the latter end of May last they met in a coffee-house, where they had before- been in the habit of meeting. Mr. Leishnian then said that a Mr. Plackett, a ship-owner, very well known to plaintiff, was " done up" at last. He was asked by plaintiff what he meant by saying that ? He re plied that Mr. Plackett had set up his close car riage. Mr. .Harwood observed that that fact did not look like his being done up. Defendant added that the carriage was only to save appearances, and that he knew- the fact from the man who had kept his books for 14 years. Mr. Harwood was disgusted at the indelicacy and dishonesty of the man, and said that he was a rascal and a scoundrel. Capt. Lush man repeated the charge, and some strong language passed between them. He (Mr. B.) was afraid that very strong language had been used by both sides. Without, however, Mr. Harwood having given any adequate provocation, defendant reached across, and gave him a violent blow on the face, and said he might take that home with him. The remark was repeated on the part of the plaintiff, and the blow by the defendant; arid the plaintiff was obliged to seek his remedy by law, as the defendant would make no apology. He then called—. Thomas Baylis who was on the 31st of May at a Coffee-house in Bethnal-green. Mr. May, the de fendant's attorney, was also present, Mr. Harwood, the plaintiff, joined them. Defendant and plaintiff ; were speaking together in apparently private con versation. The first words that witness heard were those of Mr. Harwood, who said, " The fellow is a great scoundrel." Defendant said that what he had told plaintiff was in private. Plaintiff said, " I don't care for that, the fellow , is a - scoundrel." you are as bad." Defendant then said, "I am not the scoundrel, 'tis you are the scoundrel for saying so." After some more words had passed, defendant looked at plaintiff indignantly; gave him "a back handed slap" on the face, and said, " there, take that, you may resent it in any way you may think proper." Defendant then left the company. Wit ness is a friend of both, and had not learned from Captain Leishman that he had repeated the blow that night. Defendant is a younger and more power ful man than the plaintiff. Cross-examined rby Sir J. SCARLETT—Had known both for ten .years ; they had been very inti mate together, and had been in the habit of meeting at the coffee-house two or three times a-week, to discourse, and read the papers. After the defendant left the room, plaintiff said that he would ruin him foi it ; he said that there was great rancour existing between them. Several attempts have been made to reconcile them, but Mr. Harwood always oppos• ed it. Johnson knew the plaintiff. He is lame, and walks with a stick. By Sir J. ScAuLETT--Will swear that he walks with a stick, and hobbles. Sir J. SCARLETT, for the defendant, said that Mr. Brougham had not proved the conversation which he stated in opening. He was not, however, sworn, and the Jury would not therefore believe a word of it. His attorney had been placed in the box to prove that the plaintiff hobbled, but that was only because his friend found that he had got a hob bling case. (Laughter.) _ _ Lord TENTERDEN said that the verdict must be for the defendant, and the Jury immediately returned that verdict. :WILLET V. TAYLOR. Mr. COMMON SERGEANT stated that this was an action for the recovery of 32/. odd for work and labour done. The plaintiff is a gentleman engaged in business in London, who had taken a cottage for the benefit of his health at Shiplake-row, from the defendant, who owned it. On taking it he sug gested the advantage which would accrue to the de... fendant, by building a veranda and other things be fore the house. To this the defendant agreed, and consented to allow the expence to the plaintiff out out of the rent which he would have to pay him. This was said before witnesses, and would be proved. Mr. WILLIAMS, for the defendant, contended that he only agreed to allow about the sum of 171. or 181., according to the estimate of Keep, a carpenter, then present, and now examined. The rent of the house was only 211. per year, and he left it to the Jury to decide by their knowledge of the world and common sense, as to what he agreed to pay. The Jury returned as verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 201. PHICFS OF SHAKISS THIM Brazilian "Imp. Min. Co. (iss at 51. Ditto National Bolivar Mining Co.

LONDON SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) These Sessions were held this morning before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Recorder, Aldermen Sir James Shaw, Sir Claudius Hunter, and Waith man. The RECORDER shortly addressed the Grand Jury and said there was no case in the calendar that called for any particular observation from him. Israel Isaacs, a dealer in old clothes, was in dicted for assaulting and obstructing, in the discharge of their duty, James Roberts and Henry Lovell, two constables belonging to the city. The COMMON SERGEANT stated that this was a prosecution instituted by the Corporation. There had lately been a sort - of rag-fair established in Cut ler-street, much to the inconvenience and annoyance of that neighbourhood. The Common Council of the ward therefore determined to put a stop to the selling of old clothes in that street, and notice was given to the defendant and all his tribe, that if they persisted in the nuisance they would be prosecuted. Hand-bills were also posted in the neighbourhood, but all these notices proved of no avail, and the City officers received orders to take any one offend ing into custody.. In obedience to these orders, en the 30th of November, the complainants went to Cutler-street, where they found a great number of Jews assembled, and the defendant in the act of selling an old pair of breeches. They told him he was acting in disobedience to the orders of the City, and they must take him into custody; upon which he commenced his abuse, and finished by striking and kicking them in a most violent manner, in which he was encouraged by at least one hundred of his own fraternity. A dreadful scuffle ensued between the officers and the Children of Israel, but at last the defendant was taken into custody. J.Roberts and H. Lovell, the officers, proved the above facts. They said that Cutler-street was now becoming a formidable rival -to Rosemary-lane; it was a complete nuisance to the neighbourhood, and that about two o'clock hundreds of old clothes men were to be seen congregated The prisoner sniff, he was very sorry for what he had done, and begged pardon for the offence, but at the same time, he was not aware that he was break ing the law, by offering to sell a little fruit; he was net " an old clothes man." The Jury found him Guilty.. The RECORDER, on passing sentence, dwelt very strongly on the necessity, and the determination of the City to put down the abominable nuisance; it was, he said, the perverse obstinacy of persons of the defendant's religions persuasion, which had made it incumbent to institute this prosecution; and therefore it was absolutely necessary to make an ex ample. The sentence of the. Court was, that the prisoner be confined in the Giltspur-street Compter, for two months, and kept to hard labour. Luke Freeman, a gentleman in the profession of the law, was indicted for assaulting William Smith, Esq. of Do wgate-hill, on the 29th April. Mr. Aootxnus, for the prosecution, said this was most wanton assault. The defendant was a prac tising attorney, and he believed, in general, well, conducted young man; but on this occasion he had given way to a violent fit of passion, and broken the law. The prosecutor was passing down Queen street, Cheapside, with his servant in a chaise,when they were obstructed by a waggon. Just at this time the defendant came up on horseback, arida! to pass them, when the prosecutor told him it impossible; upon which he flew into a violer passion, and after abusing him with ' a 4! of oaths, began beating him with an .d stick over the head.. Upon the prosecutor! mending his name, he was only answered acts of abuse. Not knowing the address fendant was the cause of the delay taking the assault was committed. These Were of the case. Now (said the Learned Cow stand the young gentleman belongs to spectable family, I would therefore adv future, not to so far forget himself as to n 1 guage and swear. When I was a boy, Adolphus), people moving in the best soci to swear; but it was not now-a-dayi, he • to say, tolerated in respectable company. Mr. Smith and his servant proved the Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury for ant. He said it was duo impatience of the to pass the waggon that gave rise to this assault it - could be called. The defends, most respectable man ; but Mr. his horse irritated him, and perhap acted not exactly correct, although, could charge him with committing or violent assault ; it was-not such perm young gentleman who now stood bei that caused the obstructions so much corn in the streets of Loudon. He trusted the acquit him. The Jury consulted for some . time, and the defendant Guilty. vA ~~he The RECORDER fold the defendant he in a most unjustifiable manner, but as it under• feelings of irritation the sentence of was, that he pay to the King a fine of 201. The defendant immediately drew , a cheq amount, and left the Court. TIIE MARKETS.—(TIIIS - DA_ CORN EXCHANGE. • The supplies of this week are mod er at e .
