RUNCII PAPERS. (From Mt Etoik, dated Tuesday.) VIENRA I Nov. - s.—For some days past our, collie( mercantile houses have received letters from ' , Constantinople, which contain the most positive -details of the triumphs of the Greeks, both by, .: . land and sea. We might therefore be surprised • at the silence which the Austrian Observer still obstinately maintains, but the reasons are not difficult to be.-guessed. Some persons who have the mows of being 'well-informed affirm that a narrative of the several defeats of the Turks was going to appear yesterday or the day before in' That Journal, but that it was all at once sup-1 pressed. In the most distinguished circles they speak openly of important measures, which the • decided superiority of the' Greeks renders it Im possible to delay any longer. I'Ants, Nov. 16.—Letters from Bagdad of the 4th of August contain the .following particulars.: " It seems certain that the city of -Schiraz, on the left of the j Persian Gulf, has lately experienced a misfortune similar to that of Aleppo, an earthquake having almost wholly destroyed - it. We expect the particulars of this melancholy event. "'Tits King of Persia has left Teheran for Sultnizia, where he is going to assemble his faMily for the marriage of his grand. son, the Prince of Kermaechah, with the daughter of his son, Abbas Mirza. At the close of the summer, the King of Persia will go to Kermanchah. Some persons pretend that It is for the purpose of being nearer at hand to see the military prepa rations intelldeilugainst the Pachalik of Bagdad. Sulensanich at still occupied by the Persian troops. " It is said that M. Mazarowetha, Chargi d'Affaires of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia at the Court of Prussia, has jugt been replaced by another person, who is to take the title of Anibnurtlor. 'lt is said that the Russian army in Georgia 'has advanc a towards Erivan. "Tae - province ofGaracan is still In a state of insurrection. •• The Ifeirx'a troops have not yet been able to subdue the rebels. • " Tis: two French officers who ate at Kermanchah are con stautly busy in forming and organizing new levies of troops. " Letters from Odessa, of the 26th of October, contain the thllowing particulars:--Dispatches sent by the European Con suls at Constantinople, dated the 20th of October, fully confirm - the important news which we have already received. " After several unfortunate actions, the Turkish fleet had • fallen hack to Mitylenes but the Greeks, who pursued it closely, appeared in the night of the 7th of October, and immediately niede an impetuous and well.directed attack on the barbarians. Their complete triumph is proved by the destruction or capture of almost the whole of the Turkish fleet. " As for the Egyptian fleet, it very shortly experienced an equally disastrous fate. The fire-ships and the artillery de stroyed a great part of it: the remainder shamefully took flight. " There is still some doubt respecting the fate of the Capitan Pacha himself: it is very certain that the ship of the unfortu nate Admiral has returned to the Dardanelles, but it is equally so that he was not on board. According to some persons, Kosrew Pacha had resolved to put an end to his own existence, to escape the disgrace and .punishment which await him as the reward of his unfortunate campaign. According to others, he had arrived Ineopilto at Constantinople. It is not difficult to. conjecture the fate that he may expect there. " The news from the armies are not more consoling for the • Divan. Omer Briune had advanced front Joannina towards Arta, where he was defeated by Mattrocordato. " The Ottoman corps which was advancing against Athens • Las not been more fortunate. As for Dervish Pacha, his disisse • tea are fully confirmed: his army is really destroyed in the ' full lams:: of the term. The fugitives who have escaped the sword of the Greeks have spread terror in Salonichi, and even in Constantinople. The Greek Government does not suffer . „ itself to be intoxicated by these triumphs: it redoubles its 'vigilance and energy, to complete the destruction of its bar- Whin enemies. “. Lord Strangford has officially announced his ae : arture to the whole corps diplomatique. He has already presented Mr. • Turner, as British Charge d'Affaires in his absence. Before leaving this city lie carried on a negociation in the name of Denmark, and relative to the free navigation of the Black Sea. . It is not yet certain by what route his Lordship will return to England. 'Notwithstanding all its promises, the Porte has not yet wholly evacuated Moldavia and Walachia. The conse quence is, that. M. Minziacki Is still inactive, and refuses, ac . eterdieg to his instructions, to assume a diplomatic character. " P.S. Fears seem to be entertained that the Greeks may profit by their victories to blockade the Dardanelles, and cut • •olf the supplies of provisions for the capital." ( Prom ths..fournia des Debars.) ZANTE, OCT. 15.—(Private Carrespondeure.)—One of our countrymen, who has traversed Turkey front Terneswar to Con stantinople, has just arrived here from the l a t ter place, which he left on the 9th. Ile says that it is false th a t Moldavia and Wallachia are entirely evacuated by the Turks, for several . corps are still beyond the left bank of the Danube. The Christians of these Provinces, those of Mount Hetnus and of Thrace, dwelling only in huts and subjected to a triple capitation . tea, raise their hands to Heaven, praying for the (!.reeks, from whom they expect assistance, and will then rise in insurrection. .They openly avow their wish to break the Ottoman yoke, and .they are strengthened In this by the measures of the Porte, which has again resolved on the extirpation of Christianity.— .In • consequence of this, which the impiety of the partizans of the Turks renders no longer doubtful, the Archbishop of Phi lippopolis, the Prelates of Anchial, of Didamotica, of Serres, of 'Enos, and of Adrianopleets well as twenty other Bishops, "have been torn front their ecclesiastical thrones , loaded With • chains, and carried to Constantinople, exil e d, and assas sinated,—for .exile in Turkey is synonymous with death. "Theavidity which bee partly dictated this measure is not en .riched by it, for the Turkish piastre is quoted at 55 centimes. The riches of the old Pacha of Silistria have, however, been added to the treasury. fie succeeded Galli; Effendi In the 'office of Grand Vizier, and has now been beheaded. The harbour of Constantinople still possesses several fine ships, but there are no sailors to man then:; and the terror caused by the • name of Canaria is no temptation for any body to embark on board the Turkish fleet. The Turkish fleet was ruined in the engagements of the 15t11, Ifith, 26th, and Milt of Sep tember. ...In . these various engagements the Greeks de stroyed twelve frigates, twenty brigs, and more than • 'eighty transports. Nu glory was ever greater than that of the Hellenists. 'lt is Canaris who destroys you," said this gallant Commander, fixing a tire-ship to the A.frica, a vessel co m manded by Ismael °lbrahim Of 256 vessels which corn . :posed the united squadrons from Constantinople and Egypt, • - there had only returned to the Dardanelles on the 10111 of Octo her five vessel s, with the Captain Paella, who is by this time be 41eatled.—On whisk ever side we turn, the cross vital - gine, the •• Hellenists are victorious, anti the Ottoman Empire is falling to- pleses. There are vague reports in circulation of disorders at Constantinople, and of niamacros in several cities of Asia Trlinur. Mehemet Ali Pacha, and the agent of a certain Fo reign Never, who had written to several ceuntrics to recruit his troops with mercenaries, are in despair. His auxilia ries may arrive in time to prolong the contest, and assist at the funew of the Crescent, which is already waning before the au gust c,ign of our redemption. The courier from Argos informs uaahat the first regiment of the line,lBoo strong, all armed with . muskets and b a y onets, was reviewed there on the let, and pro. ceeded on to Cortoth. This corps is to form part of the army to•besielie Negropont. The last.part of the Loan from London is to be employed in the conquest of the island of Hubma.

M. Zea renews his journey continually, and is the only one of his colleagues who sets out immediarely after the Council. As the notes from the Cabinet of the Tuileries, re lative to the evacuation of the Peninsula, require that our Govern ment should recognise the capitulations of the Constitutional Generals, and publish a complete amnesty, if it wishes the eva cuation not to take place immediately, M. %ea is said to have asked the Envoys of RUBSill and Prussia if they had re ceived similar instructions from their Governments, to which they replied in the negative. This report appears p robable, and is confirmed by numerous ministerial conferences. The prepara tions for the evacuation are going on with activity ; the hospi tals move to-morrow, the cavalry will speedily follow, and then the infantry, the Swiss regiments alone remaining. The Staff is to leave Madrid on 'the 20th current. There was lately a commotion at Oviedo, caused by two Deputies of the Cortes being in the town. They went to mass on Sunday, and as soon as the people perceived them, they were furiously attacked, and i the Magistrates could hardly save them from being massacred. Extract of another : ? Private Letter.—" The change of the Fiend' garrisons going from Estramudura towards Cadiz and 'Alicant, and the news of the speedy departure of the French troops, produce among the Spaniards different effects, as they belong to different parties. The Fanatics are full of joy, ex. pecting now to satiate their vengeance on the disarmed, Li. bend*. The Clergy dream of the re-establishment of the Inquisition, while all moderate men tremble at the hor rible scenes they anticipate. The denunciators of the Royalists at former times now live in the greatest friend ship with the informers of the present. day, and those who for merly recommendeded the massacre of the Monks and Bishops now walk arm In arm with the executioners of the present time. There Is as much division of opinion in the Council as among the people. The Ministers of War and Justice, who are the Chiefs of the Fanatic Faction,. displayed at first, if not considerable joy, at least much indifference, at being delivered from the only reatrainst to their spreading terror through the country. The Ministers of Foreign Affairs, l i of Finance, and of the Marine, supported by M. Ugarte, have made them sensible of the dangers which threaten the throne, and endeavoured to persuade them by all possible means to calm the public effervescence. All their efforts, however, would have been unavailing, -if Viscount. Digeon had not laid on the council table a •description of the true state of the kingdom, from which they saw that the whole peo ple desired a change of Government, and that it is impos. Able to refuse compliance with this desire without again causing a revolution. The Ministers then consented to listen to proposals for acknowledging the Loan of the Cortes, for publishing a complete amnesty, designating by name the persons to •be excepted, and for fulfilling the ..capitulations agreed to by the Generalissimo. The King, to whom these proposals have been made, would no doubt accept them, but lie is kept in such a state of dependence by the Apostolic Junta, that before he gives a decision, he will probably wait to hear the opinion of the holy Alliance. He has written a letter to Charles X., the answer to which will decide the departure of the army. An Ordinance was lately published, in the Gazette, relative to the Mayors of towns,in which his Majesty Nays, 'in or der to tit) awayfor ever from the Spanish soil the notion that the 'Sovereignty resides In any other power except my Royal person, and in order that my people may know that I never will consent to the smallest alteration in the fundamental laws of the Mo narchy.' Such expressions at the present time appear like a law to meet circumstances, and would probably create a very ill effect, if it were not expected that another Ordinance will soon appear, in which his Majesty will say Having been ill-advised by evil Counsellors, &c. A few days ago the Police seized an agent, and were carrying him off to prison, after ransacking his papers, when he took a sabre, and wounded severely two of the subaltern Rnts. He was then led to prison, whence nobody comes out alive. Among his papers are said to be found Foots of trafficking in employments by the favourites of the King. Yesterday evening, thirty-one persons were sent to prison to be judged—that is, executed by the Military Commission." FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, NOV. 15.—(From the Relic.)

The annexed is a copy of a Circular Letter that has been issued from the Government House, on the subject of the late Order in Council : " Sir—Having submitted to the .consideration of his Ma jesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, those parts of the Order in Council of the lOth of March last, that appeared either ambiguous in their construction, or that had become the snbject or representation, I have now the honour to acquaint you, that I have received Earl liathurst's authority to instruct you Th as follows : " e seventh clause of the Order, in giving new powers to the Commandants, has not, either directly or by implication, taken away the powers with which they were previously vested. _ _ _ . _ _ _ _ •, As regards the 10th clause, it is to be understood, that slaves are to be allowed to'work upon their own provision. grounds upon that day, but that they are not to hire themselves out to labour on Sunday, either to their master or to any one else, although for their own benefit. It is apprehended, that to permit it would occasion endless evasion; the object of Go. vernment being to secure Sunday as a day of rest, and of reli gious improvement. " Ilis Majesty's Government are, however, aware of the ne cessity that may, exist, on some estates, for providing, during certain periods of the year, due care for the preservation of that portion of the crop that may be in process of cure on Sundfirc; and until directions be given upon this subject, you wIU per mit areasonsible number of slaves to attend this service. " In like manner, it was not within the intent of the Order that proprietors should be punished for requiring the attend.. ance of their servants after sunset on Saturday evening ; and am therefore to instruct you not to proceed against any pro prietor for employing slaves in domestic occupation at any period of the week ; this is equally, to apply to any labour un dertaken for the maintenance of the public peace, or for the se curity or preservation of any public or private property. " The prohibition contained in the 11th clause is intended to prevent the use of the whip as the immediate impulse to labour, and as such it is to be strictly construed; but it is not to he inferred therefrom that slaves refusing to work are thereby screened from punishment. " It having been objected to the 13th clause, that female slaves, being thereby no longer exposed to punishment by the whip, are placed in a better situation than the female free in. habitants, I am to acquaint you, that His Majesty's Govern. meat do not see therein ground for withdrawing the protection granted to the slaves, but rather for extending the like security to the sex in general, by some further order of his Majesty to such purpose. " His Majesty's Government do not anticipate any of those evils which the 12th clause is represented as likely to create ; and that, as the slave is to be duly examined by the Court, and to make a particular, consistent, and probable state ment of all circumstances attendant upon the punishment, betbre even the presumption of guilt will arise, the danger that has been anticipated from this clause does not appear to also appears that thi s His Majesty'a Government to rest on sufficient foundation. It principle was established in the island of Dominica by the 14th clause of the Slave Act, dated the 22d of April, 1010. " In the next clause, namely, the 22d, the power of elec tion given to the slave is to be considered as providing for cases of sickness or absence on the part of the Commandant or Assistant Protector, or where the Commandant might be the master ; and not as giving or implying a power to quit the estate against the master's consent. This application on the part of the slave may also be made either by a mes sage, or by obtaining a letter to be written, as• the duties of the plantation or (flier circumstances may render most con. venient. " The power conferred by the 24th clause, by which slaves are permitted to acquire lands, is not to be held as exeropting them from the existing restrictions as to the mode in whi c h lands may he cultivated by persons of their class and condition. They are therefore not authorized, by the mere acquirement and tenure of land, to cultivate, for their own profit, the staple commodities of the island. " The obligation required by the 34th clause in the cases of voluntary , manumissions, to give security to de. Crown for maintenance of the slave, does not apply to testamentary menu missions ; and, in other cases, it is not considered probable that the party disposed to confer the benefit of freedom would with. hold the boon merely because he will have to enter into a legal obligation to carry his own purposes into effect. " As respects the 42d clause, and the penalties attendant upon it, I have the satisfaction to acquaint you, that, for the , purpose of allaying any apprehensions that have been enter- tained of this enactment, it has been directed, that the penalty on the•second conviction shall never be enforced until the whole case has been refined home for the consideration of his Ala-1 jolty; and you will observe, that in this speci a l i nstance , t h e forteluare is to the benefit of the Crown, and therefore would not be enforced unless the offence were of a grave and serious character. " Having also submitted the inconvenience that some of the Commandants might suffer by being required to come to Port Spain every quarter, for the purpose of swearing to their re turns, I am further to acquaint you, that the returns of punish menus by Commandants upon theirown estates will be required only every six months from those officers. ,(Signed) " _RALPH 'WOODFORD." AIEXICO. Letters were received yesterday from Mexico, dated Sept. 18, and from Jalapa of the 21st of that mouth. The chief event they communicate is the election of General Victoria to be Presi.; dent of Mexico. All the letters do not assert this to have boen actually the case, but 'those who do not, consider:the deciSion as certain to be in his favour. It is affirmed_thatGeneral Bravo, who was a candidattfor the same office, bus con sented to serve under General Victoria, by ac cepting that of Vice-President. Three of the Ministers—Alaman, for Foreign Affairs; Llave, of Justice ; and Teran, for war—were expected to resign in cousequeuce of the 'election of Vic toria to the Presidency. The event has caused considerable alarm among the old resident Spa niards, who wereiipprehensive, on account of the violent attachment of Victoria to the independent cause, that they would be treated with great se. verity, and perhaps expelled the country. One of.. the letters has enclosed the contract for the new loan to the Mexican Government, as pub lished in the Gazette, of which we have subjoined a translation. Strum alteration, of little import 4 ance except to the parties•conterned, has taken place between the agent of the house which' con tracted for .the first, and the Mexican Govern ment. - As soon as the bat contract was duly signed and ratifted,,this gentleman sent to Esteva the Minister or Finance, stating; that as no ab solute engagement - had been. entered into by his, house to pay the bills of the Government, they would neither accept nor pay any of those drawn by Esteveor by his predecessor Arrillaga. In this communication to Esteva, the agent referred to is said to have anhnadverted with some aspe , rity on the conduct of the Executive in having published a secret article of the new contract, in which his principals were not treated ,with the deference he thought.due to them, and to have thence deduced a justification of his own pro ceeding. He even threatened to make public a notice to the merchants against negotiating the bills drawn upon his house. The Exectitive were apprised of the whole,affair through the Finance Minister, and gave him instructions to prohibit the agent from carrying his threat into effect.— The agent, however,- persisted iu his resolution, and after having met with a refusal from the other papers, procured the insertion of the no tice in the ilguila Mexicana, but without his sig. nature. The notice alluded to will be found among the extracts from the Papers. This pro. ceediug provoked so highly the indignation of the Government, that. they introduced a new and se cret article into the new contract, under which they authorized the contractors, should the con duct of the agent for the first loan proved to be sanctioned by his employers in this country, to claim all- the money remaining in their hands be longing to the Mexican Government. The affair seems to be of little 'importance, since any indis. cretion of which the agents may have been guilty, will be easily corrected by their princi pals in. London ; but as the affair has caused much discussion among the city circles, we have thought it right to state such particulars of it as have come to our knots ledge. • (From the Aprila Mexicana of Sept. 14.) MINISTRY OF FINANCE. The Supreme Executivit Powet has entered into a contract with Messrs. Robert Manniag and William S. Marshall, agents of Barclay, Herring, Richardion, and Co., of London, for a second loan on the account and for the benefit of this Republic, upon the terms stated in the following document, which is here inserted for the information of the public : " The Supreme Executive Power of the United Mexican States, which at present consists of the Excellent Senores Don Nicholas Bravo, Don Vincente Guerrero, and Don Miguel Dominguez, to all those who may see these presents be .it known :—That being authorized, as we were, by the decree of the Supreme Constituent Congress of the 27th of August, 1823, to contract a loan of 20 millions of dollars for the service of this Republic ; and it being advantageous to the better and more prompt re-establishment of the important revenue of tobacco, to the most convenient and useful ad j u stment of th e . new financial system of the fed erat i on , an d to t he improvement of the national credit, by the payment of its most preferable creditors, that a second loan should be ne i gociated, limited to 3,200,00/. sterling, or 18,000,000 of dollars, and under the precise condition of employing the fourth part thereof in the redemption of the obligations contracted for in London by Don I! rancisco de Borga igonni, agent of this Republic ;we have determined to grant, as we hereby do grant, under special and sufficient powers, all the authority which may be necea aary for the house of Barclay, Herring, Richardson, anti Co. of London, in consideration of the important services which they have performed for this Government, to carry into effect, in virtue of the aforesaid authority, and of the present general obligation, the before-mentioned loan in that city, on account and for the benefit of those states, under the following bases and conditions : " 1.

The warehouse was quite full of paper and parchment. and from a strong south wind blowing at the time, it burnt with dreadful fury, and in a short time the devouring element communicated to a lave Ro man-cement warehouse occupied by Mr. Howard. By the great exertions of the firemen, Mr. Howard's premises sustained comparatively little injury ; but from the nature of the property in Messrs. Rolinson's premises, they were soon reduced to a heap of ruins. . The large flakes of fire issuing from where it first commenced communicated to a sugar warehouse, in Cousin lane, belongin to Messrs. Travers an d C o ., W est I n di a merchants, of Mincing -lane; and the cranes and loop-holes being of wooden construction, the whole of the front of this large building was soon in a blue • but the firemen and others, at the risk of their lives, go t wit hin it, and by their assiduity preserved part of the property. Some small buildings adjoin tog Messrs. Travers' warehouse were however destroyed.—lt ought to be stated that, as on former occasions, some of the fire engines were on the spot nearly half an hour before any ade quate supply of water could be obtained, and at no time was the supply plentiful. The County, Sun, and Globe engines, were the first on the groUnd. Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, with a number of constables, were prompt at their posts, and were of great assistance in keeping off the crowd, and enabling the firemen to perform their arduous duties. ANOTlitit ACCOUNT.—The fire commenced in the spa cious rag and stationary warehouse of Messrs. Annandale and Marshal, but the cause cannot be accounted for. The fire must have been burning for some time prior to its being dis covered, as when the flames made their appearance from -the windows, they issued in s u ch imm ense bodies that the sky was completely illuminated all over the Metropolis. At the west aide of' the building there is an extensive Roman-cement manu factory, belonging to Mr. Sheppard, which was soon (loomed to share the destructive fate of the adjoining premises ' the flames having communicated to it in a very short period ; and it was pitiable to witness the poor inmates of some humble dwellings near the spot, running about with their little furni ture, nearly in a state Of nudity, to places of safety. For some time there was a scarcity of water, but when procured the fire men played actively on the element, which was subdued by half-past three o'clock, when the above places were completely destroyed. A report was spread that a fireman .had lost his life, but we trust this is unfounded ; we have made inquiry, and could not trace any satisfactory account. About twe o'clock this morning a fire broke cut at the east end of LeadenhalLstreet, on the south side, nearly opposite the watch-house, which very soon reduced one house to ashes, and set another or fire. The buildings were apparently very old, and constructed of wood, which made them burn briskly, but without threatening any very serious conse tquences. The weather was rainy. Several engines were on he spot, and the sup'ply of water appeared ample. The front of one house fell in while we were there, and a second was on fire when we left the spot. It did not threaten to be very severe when our Paper went to press. The women of a certain de scription exulted that the watch-house would be so full of fur-. niture it would not hold them, and pie-men were driving their trade amidst the engines tem pting the fire-men with roasted potatoes an d hot pies.--( ilforning Papei.)

INUNDATIONS IN GERAIANt bJ MUNICH, Nov. s.—The disasters ca - nsed the floods in Bavaria are as great as hi Satibis; all the bridges over the Danube, the Led, ke. were carried away or damaged. The tower, villages, and a grait extent of country, are undo water. In many places the inhabitants bate been forced to abandon their cattle and thefrailt of their harvest to the fury of the waters, which rose even to the roofs of the houses. Traveller~ are in the greatest embarrassment, all the roods being under water; so that they are obliged , to leave their carriages and effects and take boatel if they find it necessary to proceed. TRENDENSTADT, Nor. 6.—The Hood at 01044 of October has even carried a bridge *over the Vorbach (otherwise a very inconsiderable stream) on the Kuiebas, which is 2,560 feet a b o ve the level of the sea, and 1,820 feet above Stuttgart!. It is remarkable that on Friday and Monday be fore the great torrents of rain fell, shocks like thee°, of an earthquake were felt upon the summ its o f the mountains, and that on the 4th November loud thunder was heard, while. the. meentaille were covered with snow. hnpss - C.IIIiLSIMHE, Nov. *Royal Ilig the Grand Duke has assigned a sum of 25,00 0 florins to meet the most urgent wanl o r the our ferers by the inundation.
