FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. .„ - (From the Gazette de France of Saturday, March T 9.) CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 23.—At the beginning of this month the news of the change in the English "Ministry," which the Reis Effendi knew a day sooner than M . d'Ottenfels, had seemed to inspire the Porte with more moderate sentiments, especially as it is stated, on good authority, that the Hospodar of Walachia, in a letter. to his son, Who is here as a hostage, informed him that the frontiers were covered with Russian troops ; and this news made some im pression on the Grand Vizier, and even on the Sultan. The Reis Effendi, alarmed at this state of things, had softened s.,me measures, and ,the ratifi cation of the commercial treaty with Spain is owing to this circumstance. It is certain that the news from Greece, and the account of the first operations of Count Capo d'lstria, have effaced this first im pression, and the persecution of the Armenians con tinues with the same rigour. Ti Sultan seems to be prepossessed With the idea that ConSfaiti;;;2nle will be besieged, and for this reason locks upOn all the Christians with suspicion. The negociations of the Ministeiz of the neutral Po nerd, who have represented the late tnNizares as viola!ing the existin g trea ties, have had no effect. The same may be ,said of a remonstrance respecting the soldiers whom it is intended to qtaitter in the houses in Pera belonging to the exiles. The Reis Effendi answered, on this occasion, that it was of very little consequence whether those houses were inhabited by Franks or by Turks. A r epresentation of the Swedish Minister, who required, in conformity with the treaties, firmans for the Black Sea for the ships of his nation, has also been ineffectual. The state of affairs' does not improve, and it is said that the Sultan increases, by a daily dose of opium, the irritation under which he has laboured since the battle of Navarino. The late meetings of the Divan were entirely oc cUpied in discussing measures of defence, and the resolutions adopted chiefly concern the Hellespont, which is to he defended by a triple line of ships.— The r idiculous project of closing the passage by a chain has been abandoned. The rigorous measures respecting th e passage of - the Bosphorus which have been employed towards neutral flags are a little relaxed in favour of the .A.ustrian3 but the cargoes of corn WI, ich were taken sx weeks ago have been paid for only in part, and that in the new coin, which is very much depre- elated. The following :is the list of the principal mer chants of the three nations who are still here French houses—F. Bed and Co.; Gluvanv and Co.; Gruvany, Son, and Co.; L. Castagne and Co.; D. Gluvany and Co.; Crespin, Father and Son, and .Co. ; Nie. Gravier and Co.; Desgras - and Co.; Durand, Maugin, and Co,; Destrevigne and Co.; Bruno, Martin, and Co. ; J. Alleon and Co.; P. Cingriac and Co.; M. Artaud and Co. have ob tained permission to put themselves under the pro tection of the Minister of the Netherlands. All ;the others are under the protection of the Turkish authorities,' as well as the English houses N. Kerr, Reel:, and Co.; G. Sanderson and Co. ; Warell .raid Co-. The principali of these three houses arc still here, but those 'of the houses of IL N. Wright and Co. and Hanson and Co. are gone. Von will see by this list that many are. wanting: All those - who can wind up their affairs hasten to depart. In one of the late reviews of the new troops, the Sultan, to. the great scandal of the Mussultrien, or dered the • Mufti, the Grand Vizier, and the t_-. l erashier, to appear in military uniform, which (wised a great sensation among the followers of j.sjamisrr nn account of the Mufti.

MAonto,..MARCII 10.—Robberies are daily mul tiplying in this capital. Consecrated vessels and ornaments of the Virgin Mary, were lately abstracted from one of our churches. The holy season of Lent is not inaptly chosen for committing such sacrileges. The Council of State is still engaged in discus sions respecting his Majest:'s approbation of the ex penditure incurred, during the Constitutional system, by the different departments of the Administration; but these discussions were, for some days, suspended to consider our . relations with- Turkey and the Bar tare Regencies. It was determined to address a Creular 0 our Diplomatic and Consular Agents in th e .1,„„,,s ar tiu_Africa, and to order them not to meddle, in the .lightest degree, in the diffetences Powers who signed the between the Europ ean Treaty of the 6th of July and the, Ottoman Porte, under the heaviesi penalties in case they should mix themselves up with any matter not speCially and solely relating ;to the protection of the trade of Spanish subjects., No one would ever hive imagined that Spain was creditor of Russia ; however, the latter Power has coostitated itself a debtor to her for a sum of about 15 millions of. francs (625,000/. sterling), which Spain will not r ece i v e; ( s France has an understand ing with Russia that this stir shall be paid to her /)Y way Of set-off to what Spain is indebted - to France.

The Ist Regiment of the Line, and the sth of Light tufantry, who• marched from Talavera de la Reyna to Seville. (no doubt for the Puilinse of gar risoning cladiz), have received o rder to return to Talavera, which makes us suppose tl4t Cadiz will Dot yetsbe evacuated, or that these two corps are perhaps more useful elsewhere. • We have lately mentioned the approaching dis- banding of the Royalist 'Volunteers, which termined by the Secretary at War ; but, being a prudent man, the latter perceived presently that Ilk had committed a great blunder, by offending the priests ; and, to give a proof of his repentance, the troop., have been supplied with new great coats, of blueish-grey colour, in which new dress they were reviewed by General Carvajal, their Inspector- General. The parties guilty of the robbery and assassina tion of the Prince's daughter-in-law, at the com mencement-of last month, have been discovered at last, and sent to prison. One of them is a Body Guardsman, : and nephew . of the lady robbed; and die other a priest, who was her confessor. The latter was taken into. custody r.t the very moment when he was going to say Mass. He was the man who hung up the servant maid. The Clergy of Ma drid hare published a Protest to disown the Curate, saying- that he was not a priest; but the documents found in the residence 9f this wretch, prove that he has theSe ten years been in Holy Orders. Fortu nately, there arc but few Ministers of the Lord that resemble him. PRICES 07 STOGKS THIS TAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

That there will be some obstinate fighting on the Banks of the Danube, even till its waves are tinged with mingled blood, there can be no doubt ; but then, what can the one hundred thousand Turks do against the hundreds of thousands which Russia pours forth, to realize the prophecy which they have been taught from their youth they are destined to fulfil, by planting the Eagle of the CZAR upon the walls of Constantinople. With respect to the Russian Declaration, we think that the EMPEROR is much o bliged to the PORTE or affording him so plausible an oppor tunity of speaking out upon a question the dearest of his ambition—the invasion, and ulti mately perhaps the occupation, of European Turkey. ; Till the Russians obtain a footing on the Hellespont, the waters of the Black Sea are of little or no use. It would not sur prise us some of these days to hear that Russia and France had secretly agreed to make common cause for the spoliation of the Sublime Empire — the one by taking those parts nearest her own dominions, while the other realized her old views in tho South by seizing on Egipt. .

The commerce at Marseilles is in a stagnant state, with the exception - of wheat, the sale of which brisk, not withstanding the introduction of exotics, and a convoy arrived and expected from Cadiz. All the other articles in our market are'very heavy. A report is current that one hundred ships are to he freighted at Marseilles for a maritime, or a commercial, expedition. A despatch received on Saturday has sus pended this freightage, and at the same time the labours of most of those who were already hired. It is to he hoped that the conjectures to which tl::s despatch has given rise, may be realized for the good of humanity and commerce. A letter, dated Marseilles, March 25, says, "' A tele graphic despatch, affixed to the Exchange, informs us that an Ambassador from the Dey of Algiers, has arrived at Toulon, with full powers to treat for peace. This news is very • satisfactory to our commerce. After quarantine, the Ambassador will set out for Paris. It is thought that peace is already concluded, and that the Dey of Algiers would not have delegated powers to this agent, had he not been willing to satisfy France. The Preevrseur of Lyons publishes the following para graph :—" We read, in a letter from Marseilles, of the 22d of this month, that a telegraphic despatch, arrived yesterday, has ordered the projected military expedition to be suspended. Thirty-two merchantmen had already been hired, which of course will be indemnified. Letters from St. Petersburgh, of the 13th of March, state that the yekulg Prince Suwarrow had arrived there on the 12th, with the latest intelligence from Persia (Tau ris, Feb. 12), which was very atisfactory. He announced that the Persians bad already made their first payment of 25 millions of rubles. People do not doubt the almost immediate signature of the Treaty of Peace.. The Emperor, in order to testify his satisfaction, has named the young Prince Suwarrow his Aid-dc-camp. We are waiting another arrival at Perpignan of Monsieur de St' Priest, Lieutenant-General of the Armies of the Cape, who is going as Ambassador to his Most Catholic Majesty at Barcelona. It is supposed that the question of the evacuation, of Spain by the French troops is the prin ciple of his mission. VIENNA,- MARCH 20.—The ordinary post of Constan tinople, dated February 25, arrived to-day, but the letters are not yet distributed. We learn, however, that the Porte has returned to moderation, accords to the Greeks an armistice of three months, and assures them of an amnesty, should they wish to make their submission. The celebrated Major Laing was assassinated in his at tempts to penetrate into the mysterious city of Timbuctoo. The details of his death have been already communicated to the " Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres," and will be forthwith published.

'We do trust that no farther' delay will take place in bringing forward the . Corn Bill, which is positively fixed for - to-night. Nothing is so ruinous as the state of feverish anxiety in which the nation has so long been kept on this most important subject, and it is the imperative duty of Ministers to bring it to a close. Then land may again have some specific value attached to it, instead of being actually unsaleable as. it is at present. The near approach of the moment when Spe• culation on the nature of the ploposed Itesolu• tions must terminate in certainty, renders it un necessary-to offer many observations at in esent. We must, however, repeat our decided ap probation of last year's, Bill, and our anxious hope that the new one may not differ from it in any very essential points. No doubt Mini- Aors cannot expect to pass through the Upper House the very same measure which was thrown out last year, and, as in the case of Penryn and East Retford, they may be obliged to. consent to a compromise with the Aristocracy, though we trust that that distinguished body will evince some moderation in their deinands, and show some little regard for the manufacturing classes of this kingdom.

An army of seventy thousand men will march, if circumstances require, to the Banks of the Pruth, from the armies of Poland and Lithuania. Considerable purchases of corn are making at Warsaw, and the chief towns of the kingdom, to form magazines for the armies on the Damube and Pruth. In short, every thing betokens a vast preparation : PINIMINIII The. abundant rains which have fallen this year give hopes of a good crop. Letters from the North, that have been received at Frankfort, confirm the news that the Imperial Guard has left St. Petersluarg to join the army. Letters from Warsaw say, that part of the armies of Poland and Lithuania, amounting to 70,000 men, will march, if circumstances require, to the banks of tke Pruth, where they will form a reserve, which will be at the dis posal of the C o mmander-in-Chief of the army of Bessarabia. Considerable purchases of corn for the Russian Govern ment are making at Warsaw and iu the chief towns of the kingdom. This corn is to form magazines for the armies on the Danube and Proth. Hamburgh Papers of the 25th March say, if the Emperor of itussiA should go to the army, that a distinguished European statesman would meet his MAJESTY at a certain place with, an extraordinary mission from his Sove reign, relative to the affairs of the East. Can it be METTERNICH, or some secret Ambassador from France?

ST. PETICUSBURGII, DIA RCII 15. Prince Suwarow, Lieutenant in the Guards, arrived here on the • 10th, with despatches from General Paske witsch and the Kings of Ardibil. His despatches. confirm the satisfactory accounts in the last bulletins of the army n l'ersia. The occupation of Ardibil by the detachment under Count Suchtelin was effected with little difficulty. The Princes Mahomed Mirza and Dschanger Mirza, sons of Abbas Mirza, at first intended to defend the fortress, into which they hail retired with 2,000 men ; but two or three Congreve rockets thrown into it sufficed to bring about a capitulation, by which it was delivered to our troops, with 27 pieces of cannon, and all the ammunition and provi sions. As the Persian garrison had obtained liberty to re tire with arms and baggage, it dispersed in a disorderly manner on marching out, except 100 European disciplined artillery, who presented themselves to the Commander of our troops, and received from him a safe conduct to re• turn home. Besides the considerable magazines of gun powder and military stores, we found 2,000 chetwerts of flour and biscuit, and great quantit►es of wood. As the country affords new resources for the supply of our troops, Count Suchtelin, in order to Wm them to our advantage, . has appointed a Provisional, 'Administration at Ardibil, consisting of the chief persons of the country, with Colonel Senawen, as - Governor of Ardibil, at their head. The effects of the happy change in the sentiments of the Court of Teheran, produced by the prospect of new hostilities, are already felt. Gen. Paskewitsch has been informed that part of the sums intended for the indemnity to ltaissia has passed our advanced posts at Miana. This remittance con sists of three kurors, or 1,500,000 toinauns (2-1 millions of our money), which are deposited for the present in the hands of Mr. 31‘Donald, Minister to his Britannic Majesty in Persia, and are to he paid to the C o mmander -in-Chief the moment that the peace is signed. The sums to com plete the indemnity were also en the way, and had nearly reached Minna. Under all these circumstance«, the honour r able and frank conduct of Mr. M‘Donald has proved the perfectly ood understanding between Ruosia and Great r • g without " Britain ; and that Minister, without taking part in the ne gociations, has not ceased to open the eyes of the Persians to their true interest, and to exhort the Shah to accept, issstkout hesitation or delay, all the terms of peaca that were propnsed to him by the Plenipotentiaries of his Imperial Majestj'.

A considerable failure of a Creole c ommercial house has already taken place at Car raccas Cisneros' and Catinas's band, have been all taken or cut to pieces, with their arms and ammunition, and the ritne4eaderS who have escaped, among which it is reported is Cisneros himself is traced, will no doubt be . taken, and meet with the puniAment of their crimes.' • They hail destroyed and devastated the fertile valleys of the Tay, the plantations of which are chiefly cultivated for the production of coffee and cocoa. A Sermon was yesterday preached at St. Peter's, Pingico, by the Rev. T. FULLER, in behalf of the Society for the relief of distressed Widows, applying within the'first month of their widowhood. This Society has been in active operation more than four years, (during which period upwards of 500 widows have been re lieved,) and is under the patronage of our gra cious SOVEREIGN and her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT. The extremity of human misery, without the aggravation of crime, may be justly considered to be the lot of her, who loses in one dreadful moment the object of her early affection, and the father of her helpless children—the hand that furnished them with their daily food. It is at that hour of unspeakable misery and desolation that the benevolence of this society steps in to speak comfort to the broken heart, and to rescue from the horrors of a parish alms-house those who may have seen better days, and, overwhelm ed with their sudden and awful calamity, are but ill-calculated to scramble for a miserable pittance amongst squalid paupeis and sturdy beggars. We would, therefore, strongly urge the claims of this Society on the kind consideration and liberality of ?ur readers, and sincerely wish suc cess to the efforts of those distinguished per sonages who, in the hey-day of youth and beauty, can sympathise with the less fortunate of their sex, .and can snatch an hour from the pleasures and gaieties of fashionable life, to al leviate human misery—little as their i nterest ma y now appear to be in its contemplation and relief. The Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of GLO CESTER, the l'rincess AUGUSTA, the Princess SOPHIA, and the DucLess of KENT, visited the Duke of CLARENCE yesterday. A number of the Foreign Ministers and Nobi lity called to make inquiries after the health of his Royal Highness. The answer given was, " His Royal Highness is much better." Yesterday being Palm Sunday, the Arch bishop of l'ottic, as Lord High Almoner to the KING, preached an appropriate sermon at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace.

THE FUNDS_ THIS DAY). CITY, TurzLYE o' CLocr. The British Funds have undergone an improvement this morning, and Consols, after opening at 83-a "4, with an exceedingly firm appearance, advanced to 84i both for money and account, and some extensive purchases have been made in the coarse or the day. One of the Turkish 'Mails due arrived to-day, but brings little intelligence of importance ; as the season'approached when the Russian army would be enabled to act, the fears seemed to in crease of the Christians, who were preparing to take their departure on the first. signal of hostilities, rightly judging, after this event, there would be no safety .for them ; it is indeed, stated:that the Pacha at Smyrna had intimated to the Europeans that be could not answer how long h e mould t ld • be able to give them protectio n ; but, in any case, . e wou give them timely notice. At the date of these letters not the least probability existed but war would take place, and this seemed the general opinion. Exchequer Bills are 58 59 pin . ; and India Bonds, 91 3 pm. • The Foreign Funds are generally higher ; Russian from 861 T, are now S7l ; Spanish are also better, being l2i, the continued purchases of these long neglected Bonds by the same parties who operated last week having tended to this improvement ; in the continued absence of news from Portugal, this security continues at 001 ; Brazilian, 60111. In shares no alteration since last week has taken place, and prices remain heady the same. It is reported that a telegraphic despatch from Marseilles jhas arrived at Paris, announcing the arrival at that port of an Envoy from Algiers, authorised; on the part of the Dey, to conclude peace with the French - Government. There is a current rumour in the City that a change in the for mation of the MiniStry is likely to take place' in two of its prominent members. Letters from Hambuigh of the 25th inst. bring the Price of Russian stock one per cent. lower M 5. The Exchange front thence comes without alteration.

In In the course of last year this matter was discussaL sod the Loan CHANcxt.con gave judgmeat in it to-day:' Wm. Liddiaril for some time carried on trade in this couitry. --- In 1822 he sold his household furniture and stock, Hhich brought 1700/. ; this was invested in the French funds, through the medium of Rothschild and Company, and he went to reside in Paris. •• In the year 1823 a Commission of Bankrupt was taken out against him. Some time arter . the issuing of 'the Commission, he transferred this fund to hi s wife ;' , Eihe again transferred it to two or three of her sisters, and then died. Mrs. Liddiard lid also, under a settlement executed to her, an absOlute power of dis posing of two other MIMS in the funds. The bill was tiled by tho assignee, Mr.-Stead, to prevent the removal of the whole of this property by those in whose favour Mrs. L. had executed her power. The Vice-Chancellor thought the assignee was clearly entitled to restrain the parting with the 1,7001. and accordingly granted the injunction as to tha. i►is Loittsuir considered that, if the facts should b►' hereafter made out, as he had every .reason to suppose thq would, the assignee would be entitled to the whale of the funds, and therefore he ordered the injunction to go as to the ►'hole, and the present costs to be costs in the cause. - IN THE MATTER Or LORD rouTsmouTit, A LUNATIC. . The master had reported that it was necessary to raise 56;0001. to pay the debts of the lunatic, and the expnces attending the commission; and the plan he proposed of doing so was by a loan from the Globe Insurance Com pany, which they had offered to make at 6 per cent.,: the committee, being at the expence of insuring the Earl's life. By this plan being adopted, it was calculated that the allowance made for the lunatic's maintenance would be re duced from about 8,5001. to 6,500/. The petition Ara l ' tit have this report and plan confirmed by the Court, and that the trustees should be ordered to pay over all the ba lances that were in their hands. The ATToRNEY-GENERAL and Mr. Yams were for the committee, and is support of the petition. They stated committee o 0 . n. o ‘ t v il l i ' l i( be l k able there every that this sum was proposed to be raised, subject to re y r deenr'p ti e l by °ato the be i p e a v y e m t e h r e tt of 5 : 01 to dO speedily, because 7, 0001 . would be received in t he c o nrsr of a few weeks front fixes in the renewal of leases ; a nd should the suit in the Ecclesiastical Court succeed, which they had high authority for expecting, the trustees would have to pay over a clear fund of 20,0001., the payment of which had been delayed, from various reasons, pendia; the suit. Air.
