FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS, (From the Messayer do Chambres of Dec. '27.) DESPATCHES FROM THE MOREA. PARIS, DEC. 26.—Despatches from the Mar quis Maison arrived yesterday at Paris. They give further details respecting the distribution of the troops in the several fortresses which they occupy, and the happy effects which may be expected for their health from a more complete establishment, us well as froth the care taken to purify the habitations assigned to them. • Marquis liaison is still at Modon. He states that, in order to satisfy the recommendations which have been made to him, be much wished to send a complete table of the changes made in the corps since their landing up to the Ist of December, but he had been unable, up to the 4th, to collect any more than an account of the situation of part of the regiments, and he intended to send the rest as soon as an opportunity offers. - - The details in the General's correspondence respecting the health of the troops give ground for estimating-at nearly COO men the losses which they have sustained up to the Ist of December. The division is abundantly supplied with frt meat, and all other necessaries. The weather has been, in general, fine and dry, ‘rhich has had a happy effect on the men received in the hospitals. The last accounts from head-quarters of Connt Wittgenstein are of the 7th of December. They attic(' that a Turkish corps of 50,000 men appeared before Paravadi, but that after :some insignificant at tempts, which did not lead to any serious engage ment, the Turks repassed the Kamtschik, and retreat ed to Aido4. The winter is so extremely severe in Bulgaria, that it is not rlobable that any important operations can be umkrtuken ; besides, all necessary precautions are taken by the commanders of the corps of the Russian army, the cantonments of which are very strong, bothi by the nature of the ground, and by the works which have been added to them. It is therefore very improbable that any thing of con sequence will take place before next spring. These details show what we are to think of the Recounts from Constantinople respecting the passage (unusual at this season) of Asiatic cavalry into Eu rope,--of the short stay which these troops have made in the capital of the Ottoman empire,—of their speedy departure for the army,--of the winter cam paign, which was going to be opened,--and of the vigorous efforts which the Sultan intended to make it! order to recover Varna at any price. (From the Gazette de France, dated Dec. 28.) _ . PARIS, DEC. 27.--The Augsburgh Gazette states tinder the head of Berlin, that Prussia is going to lake advantage of the forced suspension of hosti lities between Russia and the Porte, to act with energy as mediator, and that the Cabinet of St. Pe tersburgh is well inclined to listen to the proposals of the neutral Powers. vgland is taking similar steps at Constantinople, and will make a nother at tempt to induce the Porte to adhere to the treaty of the 6th of July.

Bank Actions experienced a considerable rise to• day, in consequence of the announcement of a divi dend more than double that of the last. The fol lowing statement will show whether this is to be at tributed to the improvement of affairs, and to a more extensive system adopted by the Bank in its operations, or whether it is merely owing to an over flow of ready money :-- " The Council-General of the Bank has fixed at 77 francs per action, the second half-yearly dividend of 1818. The reserve is 23f. 50c. per action. " The dividend will be paid from the 2d January next, at the Bank; and the actuaries will be allowed to send powers of attorney. _ _ _ " It is indispensable that the titles should be presented. " The Bank of France owns 2,337,000 f. 5 per Cents., which represents in their circulation, 39,761,824 f., at the price of 85r. " The fluctuations to which this fund has long been liable does not permit it to be appreciated in any other way. Its legal value must be considered a% a fixed and invariable minimum. This period is arrived. The current price has exceeded the legal Nal u e by 7 per cent. Tins improvement has received the sanction of the times: it presents itself with a decided character of stability. " The Council-General of the Bank, fearing that these things might be misunderstood, has fixed at the legal price of 100 f. the 5 per Cents. which may form part either of the capital of the Bang, or of itt reset ved fund. " In consequence of this resolption, a suin of nearly 7,000,000 f., at present unproductive, will be brought into circulation. "The 5 per Cents. belonging to the reserved fond of the - Bank, being valued at the price of 100 f, amount .... 16,440,620 14,375,49:2 £9 And cost..

" The 5 per Cents., which form part of the capital, valued at the same rate, amount to 30,299,380 And cost 25,388,533 43 Difference " This difference, joined to the benefit of the operations of the second half-year of 1828, has allowed the Council-General to fix at 77f. per action the dividend of this half-year. The reserve is 2.5 f. .50c. per action. " Paris, egth Dec. 1828. " CARAT, Director." SOUTH AMERICA. (nom the Baltimore Gazette of Dec. 5.) LATE AND INTERESTING FROM mai. The fast sailing ship Corinthian, Captain Hall, arrived below this morning, in 76 days, from Lima, whence she sailed on the ISth Septetaer. We are indebted to Mr. Robert Shig:eton, who crime pat senger, for a file of Lima Papers to the 18th Sep tember, from which we have derived the information which will be found below. _ The most important item of intelligence which they furnish is to be found in a Proclamation of M. Salazan, Vice-President of the Republic of Peru, of which the following is a translation : " Whereas Genecalßolivar, by his Proclamation, dated in Bogota, July 3, has declared war against Peru; and whereas it is the duty of a Government to sustain the independence and integrity of the nation, and to adopt those measures which the laws of war admit, to frustrate the attempts and dimi nish the resources of an enemy ; I hereby decree— " Ist, That all the ports and bays lying between the latitudes of 3 deg. G min. south, and 9 deg. north, that is to say, from Tumhes inclusive to the port of Panama, are hereby declared to be in a state of rigorous blockade. " 2d, All nations shall be considered as sufficiently notified of this declaration after the expiration of the terms herein specified, and no nation shall be permitted to trade with the above-mentioned ports thereafter, without incurring the penalties which are imposed by the laws of nations. The term of eight months is affixed for the nations of Europe, the United States of America, and the ports of Africa ; that of four months for those of Brazil, the United Mexican States and Ar gentine Republic; and that of two months for thosa of Chili and Central America. The term of one year will be assigned for the European Settlements of Apia and the Eastern coast of Africa.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER SO, ISZS. The French Papers contain some official news from the army in the Alorea, giving further de tails respecting the distribution of the troops in the several fortresses, for the more complete establishment of their health. The louses which the army had sustained up to the Ist of Decem ber amounted to 600 men, but the general health and comfort of the troops had materially improved in consequence of the fine dry weather and abundant supply of provisions. The accounts from the Russian army leave matters much as they were, with this exception, that the inclemency of the weather will now pre vent the Turks from taking Varna. We ques tion whether they could have taken it even sup posing the weather gave, them a free sanction. Much has been said of the demoralizing and disastrous effects produced by the weather upon the Russian Li-my, without any notice what ever of what the Turks suffered. This mis take proceeded, no doubt, on the supposi- tion, that as the Turks were at home, the bad weather would be quite familiar to them. This inference might be so far true with regard to the natural inhabitants of Bulgaria, but the great body of the Turkish army was composed of people as foreign to the swamps of the Danube as the Russians. The sriarthy and dry-footed levies of Asia could not feel / much pleasure in picking their weary way through the bogs of Bulgaria, with quagmires for their beds, and snow or drizzling sleet for their covering by night. Such natural obstacles would go far k t!o damp even the ardour of pursuit, supt:osing the Russians to have fled in the field before them— a fact which has not yet been proved, though the German Journals insinuate as much. The truth will no doubt turn out to be that both armies have suffered most severely—far mere severely than either will confess. The Turks have shown themselves good defenders of their frtresses, but they will not, we suspect, prove more successful assailants than their enemies. The most that Russian or Turk can do at present, is to repair past losses, and prepare for future sacrifices. The winter has stepped in between them as a general arbiter—may it prove the harbinger of a general pcace— German .Papers of the 23d inst. contain ac counts from Constantinople to the 26th Nov., stating, that the severity of the weather had caused a stagnation of military operations in the armies of the GRAND VIZIER and HUSSEIN PACUA. This circumstance revived the hopes of the pacific party in the Divan, who sup posed it might lead to a general peace, the more especially as diplomatic negotiations were carried on with fresh activity between the Reis Effendi and the Ambassador of the Netherlands. The blockade of the Dardanelles has been of less consequence to the capital than was at first apprehended, supplies of corn being received from Alexandria, though several vessels had been captured. The Russian fleet in the Black Sea has suffered much from the severity of the wea ther : CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. 25. The severe weather, which causes a stagnation in military operations, and keeps the Grand Vizier at Aidos and Hussein Paella at Shumla, gives fresh activity to the diplomatic negociations, and revives the hopes of the party in favour of peace, unless un foreseen occurrences should intervene, and the cha racter of the Ottoman policy, which it is so difficult to appreciate, should baffle all expectations. During the stay of M. Boia le Comte at Pent, who yester day set out on his return to Vienna, frequent confe rences are said to have taken place between the Reis Effendi and the Ambassador of the Netherlands, which revived in the most influential members of the Divan the idea of an arrangement with the me diuting Powers. The object of M. Bois le Comte's mission is not indeed clearly stilted, and is thought to be merely relative to the blockade of the Dar danelles; yet preliminary overtures, introductory to direct negociations with the Porte, seem to have been made by the French Government. The blockade of the Dardanelles, which has really existed since the 17tb inst. creates therefore less uneasiness than the first notice of it; and this cannot be the effect of the arrival of the convoy from Egypt just before the blockade commenced, beciaise the quail- tits of corn which is brought will suffice for the supply of the capital for a short time only. The fact that M. Von Zuylen has sent au express by way of Smyrna to these Ambassadors, seems to proceed from important political grounds. The artival of the corn from Alexandria has ren- tiered the authorities secure for the present, but a scarcity would soon ensue if no further supplies should arrive. We hear, indeed, that measures are taking to supply the capital with corn in future, and we are told of ships of war which Mehemet Ali will fit out on purpose to protect the future convoys. — But these ships would at the most be a protection against single cruisers, and it is not probable they would be able to force the Russian blockade, and make the passage through the channel free, for since the battle of Navarin the Egyptian navy, which had so rapidly increased, has sunk into its former. insignificance; and, notwithstanding all the efforts of the Viceroy and the natural inclination of the people to a maritine life, much time will be required to repair the losses sustained at Navarin. Egyptian naval officers are, indeed, to be sent to France and England to improve their knowledge in nautical science, and in the sequel to form a naval school at Alexandria, but this landsble design will be advantageous cely to the next generation. The news of raising the siege of Silistria, and of the retreat of the Russians along the Danube, has caused great joy. The particulars are not known ; it is believed that the retreat was caused by the se verity of the weather and the want of provisions, and it seems that the Turks were completely inac tive. There are frequent and violent storms in the Euxine, from which the Russian fleet is said to have suffered great injury. Several hundred Turks, who have arrived hither from Varna on board European ships, have stated this as a fact. The late Grand Vizier, 'lN!.hined Selim l'acha, has arrived at Galli poli, and is said to be very well treated. VIENNA, Ditc. 18.-111etalliques 95 9-16 ; ‘ Barilt Shares 096 i. FRANKFORT, DEC. 23. The Atatrian Observer of the 18th contains news from Constantinople, of 23d November, which agrees in almost every particular as to the accounts previou.ly received by other channels. On the 14th the Sultan lost his.secoml son, who was only a year and nine months old. Sultan Mahmoud has now only one son remaining, Prince Abdul Medschid, born April, 1823, and several daughters. When the blockade of the Dardanelles was first announced, the Greek Government issued nume rous letters of marque, and Greek privateers have lately captured many ships of different nations laden with corn, among them are nine Austrian vessehi, which ventured to sail in the Archipelago without convoys; they have been carried before the Prize Court of Egina. At a late meeting of the Louth Independent Club, Mr. SUaIL, aftee a speech. in whkh with whimsical ingenuity he endeavoured to prove that _ the delay of Catholic Emancipation from the year 1798 up to the present 1828, had been productive of considerable benefit to Ireland,—a sample of special pleading so easily refuted by the very commonest sense of the very commonest of the " seven millions," that it is scarcely worth while to attempt its refutation—Mr. SHEIL after this paradoxical display of eloquence an nounced his intention, in the event of Catholics being rendered eligible to sit in Parliament, of offering himself as a Candidate fbr the represent ation of the ccunty of Louth. This announcement is important, inasmuch as it clearly demonstrates eie kind of feeling generated throughout Ire land by the Duke of WELLINGTON'S letter, which has impressed itself favourably,—first, on the thinking part of the community ;—secondly, through them, on the great mass of the unre flecting but sanguine peasantry. All Ireland, in fact, coupling this famous document with the conversion of Mr. DAWSON, and the emphatic silence of Mr. PEEL, is prepared to view it as an acknowledgment that Emancipation will be promptly granted. And this indeed is the only right interpretation that can be put on it. It bean perfectly gratuitous on the Duke's part, and if not meant as a satisfactory hint to the Ca tholics, must be looked on as an insulting piece of cajolery, without meaning, without motive, a confession, in fact, of krlental imbecility, worthy only of the Duke of NEWCASTLE. But these remarks are premature. The letter has its meaning, its candid liberal meaning, and has been addressed to the Head of the Irish Ca tholic Church, in the avowed wish that it should by him be communicated, as a quietus, to the agitators. As'such, the agitators have received it; and hence Mr. SHELL, ill full reliance on its favourable tendency,—for a letter must, indeed, be favourable in which the united intellect of a shrewd and distrusting nation can find no ground for complaint—has taken the very earliest oppor tunity of announcing himself for Louth. But should there still be doubts on the subject of this official document, let the sceptics who entertain them, look to the present posture of affairs and be convinced. Let them look to Ireland, organized to a man in one vast moral confederacy, indignantly alive to its wrongs, and prompt, at whatever hazard, to avenge them I—to the late Protestant Declaration, signed by the Dukes of LEINSTER and DE VONSHIRE, by tc yen Marquisses, 26 Earls, 11 Viscounts, 22 Barons, two Counts, 22 Baro nets, 52 Members of the House of Commons, and upwards of 2,000 Gentlemen of other classes, in which Declaration it is broadly stated that the concession of the Catholic Claims is indispensa ble to the welfare of Ireland :—to the grand Pro testant Meeting announced to be held there on the 20th of next month, in which many who have been hitherto staunch Orangemen, will, learn, be found in the ranks of the Liberals:—to the general failure and sneaking submissiveness of the Brunswick Clubs, whether in England, Ireland, or Wales and, above all, to the returning common-sense of the Dublin Corporation, the tears of Lord ELDON, and the politic quies cence of Parson HORNER. Let those, we re peat, who still doubt the tendency of the Duke's letter, look to these important signs of the times, and be convinced, that in resolring to concede Emancipation, his Grace has only given way like a skilful General, to the imperious neces sity that extorts it. By the Duke of York stern vessel, arrived at Standgate Creek, letters to the 20th, and papers of the 19th inst. have been received this morn ing. It appears the epidemic has fluctuated con siderably, and, comparing the number of cases admitted with the deaths, has- been in proportion more than usually fatal. On the 20th, the wind had got round to the West, and with every ap pearance of be-coming N.W., which was con sidered very favourable.

CIT I, 2'w Etxx o' CLOCK. The letters from Constantinople of the 25th ult. state that the Russian squadron, intended for the blockade of the Dardanelles, had been seen off the island of Tenedos, but that subsequent accounts had been received that they had retired, and the Turkish squadron remained in, port. Letters from Smyrna, of the 13th ult., mention that notification had been given by the different Consulates of the Russian blockade, but there had been no advice of its having been enforced. Some discussion has taken place in the City on the subject of the Exchequer Bills which are said to bara been ladgoa wilts ttia Bankers on an advance made to Mr. R, Stephenson, the said bills being on deposit, and a Morning Cotemporary states his belief that the Bankers tvill have a lien on them for the sum they have lent thereon ; this we think is not a correct view of the question. By Lord Liverpool's new Act of Merchant and Factor, passed on the sth July, 1825, and which came into operation the sth Oct., 1826, the alteration of the Bankrupt Laws, as relates to liens, has no reference to any other than goods, wares, and merchandise. Securities or Ex chequer Bills are not mentioned, and Where they have been purloined, are in the same situation as any other property feloniously taken, and consequently can be followed in the same way that property stolen and pawned with a pawnbroker, who is bound to deliver it up on the prosecution of the offender.

A FREE PRESS 1N CLONMELL. (From the Tipperary Free Prem of Wedoesby, Dec. 27. ) - - " A Newspaper is, in fact, the instrument that enables an individual to avail himself of the experialee of the whole coominnity."—Westminster Review, July, MC The second year of the labours of the Tipperary Free Press has been now completed, and if those who have taken an interest in the progress of this paper had reason of congratulation last. year, they have had many substantial reasons this year to in crease their pleasure. The fato that has hitherto at tended this paper has been one, generally speaking, fir differeat from that which many liberal papers have met with—they have been praised and they have not been supported. The Free Press has been praised and it has been supported. This paper was established not for the purpose of . being profitable to those to whom it belongs; but to be of general service to the people. It cannot be denied, that it was for a long time the practice to give to the patriot, who devoted his time, his health, and often his for tune to the cause of the country nothing but empty thanks. And too 'often it has happened, that even these were denied him. We could mention the names of many newspapers that have effected immense ad vantage for the people, and have been suffered after wards to die neglected and disregarded. And it should be recollected, that the Proptietors of a news paper are subject not merely to the loss of capital embarked in an , :1 speculation; but also are bound in heavy penalties and suretiel pledged in the same that nothing will appear in their Journal which a Bruns wick Attorney-General, or a Biblical adviser of the Crown may not consider sedition. At different meetings that have taken place in this county, the Editor of this paper has been more than repaid for his humble labours, by the kind no tire which has been taken of them by his country men. His thanks are offered in the following sen timent of Swift (Examiner, May 17, 1711). This principle has always muided his conduct from the first publication of the Tipperary Free Press to the present When I first lintertook this piper, I firmly resolved that if ever I observed any gross neglect, ABUSE, or CORRUPTION in the public ma nagement, which might give any just offence to reasonable people, I would take notice of it with that innocent boldness which becometh an honest man, and a true loves of his country." CARLISLE ELECTION. CARLISLE, DEC. 27.—1 told you last week that Sir William Scetr, of Ancram, had issued an address to the freemen, pledging himself to come forward as a candidate for the honour of representing the City - in Parliament. The Baronet arrived in town on Monday evening; but as he found great difficulty in procuring an agent, he did not commence his canvass - nntil this morning. Mis stuccos amongst the freemen, I am given to understand, has been very. indifferent ; and I believe he already begins to despair of success. Our Corporation having had their cue from their Recorder, the Earl of Lenedale, in public keep studiously aloof from the worthy - Baronet, though there esu be no doubt hie present .. attempt is looked upon with a fuvourable : eee by the weal Northern Boroughmoegcr. Policy, however, induces him and his tad to affect indiffettnee : 6.1 are aware that were they openly to espoae the Baronet's cense, their unpopularity wonld einit It . meet degreee below Zero. Another candidata he. rived this morning somewhat unexpectedly, Mu - . Aglionby, the Barrister. His politics are under stood to be Retell; but, as he has not condevended to issue an address, all is left to conjecture upon this: point. Mr. Aglionby may depend upon it secrecy, will nor avail him : whatever may be his sentiments` - openness and candour are the best policy. Remount_ gains ground that Mr. Lawson will yet offer him' . golf ; I hope this may r - uvu trze; and if so, he will - speedily leave all competitors at an immestsurrable distance. He is an independent and noble spirited gentleman, and a very great favourite in this city. Sir James Graham, Bart. has concluded his elinVii,l6 for the County, and a most successful one it has been. TO THE FEEHMEN OF canunts. Sir Win. Scott, without giving any public declaration of his principles, but under a new colour, will this day canvass your votes. If you wish to learn what Le is, !wit him the following questions:— Did he not, on the dect'l of Sir Philip Binsg"rave, slate with Lord Lowthrr for his Lordship's yellow teat in C irliFlc ? Was he not then out-bid by a certain Nabob, and in nott-,. sequence postponed till another vacancy should oixar? Has he net, sinee Mir James °rah:lnes resignation, re soloed his negotiations with Lord Lowther; and did 14, not come here upon the strength of my Lord's interest? Put these questions lmmit to him, Freemen.—Yon !nisi a Meotsman to deal with--do not let him &wry the city under false colours. Melte him declare himt.4f at all events. 'Then, if you wish for Two Yellow Lowther Members to revrtfent yea, elect him, and much good may be do you. , STRAIGHT-FORWARD. Carlisle, Dec. 27, 1828. TO THE. EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,--You were kind enough, a great man) months since, to insert in your Paper a letter frotr " A Mother." Having had reason to believe it 'muds some impression, I wish, through the same medium, to call the eyes of the public to an evil which May even be more baneful to young ladies than their grooms riding by their sides. I allude tc the tote' want of police-officers in so extensive a place at Hyde-park. A few years since, scenes of the mos, disgraceful nature continually occurred there, whist roused the indignation of some gentle Men, and I - believe Lord Sydney, the ranger, was addressed - upon the subject; afterward=, several police-ofscers were constantly parading the different .walks and dusters of trees, and in consequence of their vigi lance, the pink became a proper promenade for the young and innocent members of families who 41 , 4 s ee k its fi ne air for health the fashionable season n ' et tn e d o e ve, ze .: c p is r e ob : a b b u ly t .. t e h h e s e r e policemen thought the different classes who oonti , need in town too plebeian to have their 6, ; :;Dtcy shocked or their feelings outraged, and gradually ceased that attendance which I hare never since ob served them to resume, although I much doubt whether their diminished labour was accompanied by an equal diminution of their salariete—thisavauldi indeed, be someth;ng extraordinary!! I For many moetha have I noticed growing evils throughout the whole range of the pal k; bet my feelings arid fessa as a parent have been more particularly excited by an oe< currence which took place yesterday, between twelve and two in the forenoon. My children were taking their usual wall:, attended by their nurse. and Lad reached the Serpeutino liver, when they were Al stressed, and found themselves pursued, by a man its labouring attire, who was, or pretended. to be, insane, and used the most frightful gestures, with • violent language and loud maniac laughter. one . gentleman passing observed the conduct of the madman, and to' his kind exertions I attribute the escape of my children. He endeavoured to hold the:_ umn while they fled, by his advice, with as rovell• speed as their terror would permir. That gentle man, I It nst, may see this letter, and through it receive the warmest assurances of gratitude from nof family and myself, for his manly and generensaesist w mice. His strength, however, we suppose, was in-', sufficient to restrain the maniac, : who soon twjr.i pursued them at a distance, nntil they nearly reached. the lodge. 'rho unproLocted state of the park calls loudly for the interference of the proper authorities.' Young girli sad children can only there seek air and exercise,—where, then, can they procure these blessings if our parks are infested by the lawleee 104. , abandoned ? We all have reason to complain of the want of police in - our streets. No metropolis per more extravagantly, and none can be wore !Oleo& ed. But let the barrier, which shireld never be with drawn, between virtue and vice, be strictly ol.serrea, and kept in those paths where the youthful can stun', , seek that health which is lost by confinement. Titi.ll. statement will, I trust, obtain the notice which anY appeal of the kind, however humble, merits, snot should it do so, you will, Mr. Editor, not be troubled with a letter upon this subject from Dec. 29, ISM ANOTHER. —__._......_.-,........____....---. - We are very sorry to understand that Mr.i Abernethy the celebrated surgeon, is,, at present, extterneit 1 t I unwell. . , • • i , By the letters from I-lamburgh of the 2sd instant, the price ',it geld is 1031 per duvet, which et tbd '..
