At a late hour this morning we received by Express from Paris the Etoile and the Vilote Muted yesterday. The Etoile contains no inter ligence of importance, and the following are ex tracts from the Paole PARTS, DEC. In. A letter from Bucharest of very recent date, 'now before us, says that the Sultan has no inten lion of keeping his promise for evacuating Mol davia and Wallachia, and that unless his High ness be compelled by force those provinces will - remain in statu quo. The Greeks are following up their successes. Thessaly will soon become the theatre of great events, and every thing leads to the hope that this province will soon be liberated from Turkish domination, and re-annexed to Greece, The 'empire of Mahomet is rapidly approaching its dissolution. IRAN, DEC. 10. By the expres from the French head-guar terra which arrived to-day, we have reciived let ters of yesterday's date from officers of rank, - stating that General Count Digeon has given ord e rs for the French troops in every direction to halt, because the army is not re turn to France. Some believe that the French army will take op its position on 'the Ebro • others say, on the contrary, that only four regi ments will remain there, and that the garrisons of Corunna, Santona, and Saragossa, are to con tinue in those towns. It is not stated whether any troops will return to occupy Madrid, but it is very probable that the capital will have a French garrison besides the two Swiss regiments. For the non-return to France of the army the news appears official ; - and it is believed that the Ca binet of the Tuileries has at length acceded to the warm applications of our Government to this effect, under the stipulation that all the demands of France to put an end to the evils which deso late Spain shall be complied with. MADRID, DEC. 6. The troops assembled at Corunna for South America have deserted, and the projected expe dition will not take place, at least for the present. DEc. 16.—Rentes. Last price after the close of the market, 102 f. 15c. Frankfort Papers to the 12th inst. were re ceived this morning. It would seem by a letter from Smyrna of the 2d November, that the Egyptian squadron was still at Boudroun, closely observed by the Greek fleet which had not been idle spectators of their enemy, but had made an attempt to set fire to the Egyptian Admiral's ship, which is said to have been unsuccess ful. An article in the Swabian 111ercia points out the injurious effects to Germany of the numerous restrictions by which the transit trade through that country, between France and the North of Europe, has been fet tered within the last two years. The goods which were formerly sent by the Rhine, the Weser, and the Elbe, to Bremen, llamburgh, and Lubeck, and from those places forwarded to the North of Europe, are now shipped in Freuelt vessels, chiefly fromllavre, and sent direct to Riga, and other Northern ports : and the return-mer chandize which used also to pass through Ger many, is now conveyed in these French vessels to France. The consequence has been that freights from llavre and its trade have increased in the came proportion that the customs of the German States which formerly possessed the transit-trade lave diminished. The finances of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY lave improved so much, that his Imperial High tels has repealed the tax on meat and every thing connected with the trade in that necessary of life, and holds out the hope of a further repeal of taxes. AUSTRIAN FUNDS. VIENNA, DEC. 3.—Metalliques, 95. 11-32.—Bank Shares, 1160 3.5. DEC. 4.-31etalliques, 951.-13ank Shares, 1157. When we recently animadverted on the fortu nate resources of our diurnal Competitors, who, by the confident mode in which they communi cated the designs of the British Cabinet, appear to possess the favour of Ministers in no slight de gree, we were by no means aware of the exten sive nature of those resources, and did not render a full tribute of justice to them, for favouring the Public at large with the official intercourse which enabled them to impart such gratifying intelligence to the public at large. Happy writers, who are thus favoured with official confidence, by which the people are apprized of the intentions of Government, which have hitherto been generally deemed diffi cult of attainment ! But it seems that the know ledge of these fortunate Knights of the Quill is not confined to the domestic and foreign views of our own Cabinet, but they are ablH to penetrate into the views of the several Governments abroad. This is surprising, and seems to show that the Governments of other countries are nol as cautious now as they have appeared to be former times. Some of our lucky Journalists are found able to tell us what are the designs of Austria, of the Holy Allies, in general, of the great Russian Autocrat, and indeed of all the Governments of Europe respecting the future destination of Spain, and the con test between Greece and Turkey. It is far from our intention to attempt to lessen the credit due to our competitors for the impor tant information which they thus afford of the de signs and views of the British and Foreign Ca binets, as our envy is extinguished by a sense of gratitude for their readiness to impart what they are so fortunate as to attain, since they furnish us with topics for reasoning on the proba bility of events, which otherwise we should not have sagacity to discover. On the contrary, we shall not attempt to throw any doubts over their communications, being sincerely convinced that the information which they relate respecting the designs and operations of foreign Potentates, may be as confidently relied on, as that which they derive from the kindness of the British Cabinet. This day the KING was to hold a Council at Windsor Castle, at which a Proclamation was expected to receive the Royal Signature, for , fur ther proroguing Parliament to the beginning of February, then to meet for the dispatch of busi ness.—(Morning Post.)

A subscription has been opened at Hamburgh for the relief of the poor inhabitants of Germany who have suffered so much by the late dreadful inundations. A very forcible and powerful ap peal has been submitted to the Public by Messrs. GODEFFROV, REIMARUS, MUTZENBECHER, &C. under date of the 27th ult. The last letters from Saint Petersburgh say— " There will be a considerable alteration in the Tariff of Duties against the Spring. The Mi nister of Finance, Count KANEKRIEN, is at pre sent occupied with the details." A new Literary Journal is to appear at Mos cow in January, 1825, edited by Mr. Pot.utttoi. It is intended to contain Notices of all that is most interesting as to the Sciences and Literalure of Europe, with Strictures on the Arts, &c. It will also review the latest productions in the His tory, Statistics, and Archaeology of Russia. On Wednesday last one of the workmen employed in build. ing the King's library, at the British Museum, fell from the scaffolding, and was carried to the Middlesex Hospital in a deplorable state. We learn from Edinburgh that the Justiciary , gown, now vacant, is to be given to Lord MAC- K ENZIE, and the seat on the Court of Session Bench is to be filled by Mr. JOHN HAY FoanEs, who is to be succeeded in the valuable Sheriff ship of Perthshire by Mr. DUNCAN *NEILL.— The two first vacancies have been occasioned by the resignation of Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPIIIILL, Lord SuccOTll.—(Glasgozo Herald.)

N FNMA STIJE-I PoN. T NE. On Tuesday evening last the annual Grand Entertainment took place at the Mansion-house, Newc ast l e - u oon-Tyne, under the Presidency of Miss CRAM LINcTox, sister of the worthy Chief Magistrate, HENRY CRAMLINGTON. Esq. The ar rangements were upon a most liberal and splendid scale , and admirably calculated to give pleasure and satisfaction to the numerous guests who were present, about 4:0, including all the fashionables of the town, and neighbourhood. The supper tables were, we take leave to say, judiciously renunciant of the two prevailing system of slender furnishments ; for the dis play was rich, and full of all those attractive viands which were wont to grace the refectory-board on our younger days on fes tive occasions. In making this observation, however, it is by no means meant to be insinuated that the confectioner's talents were suffered to remain in abeyance; the thing, in filet, was far otherwise, for creams, jellies, syllabubs, &c. were in great • abundance, and beautifully set off the well covered tables. The wines and cold punch were fully on a par of excellency. Nothing could exceed the polite attention and urbanity of Mr. Mayor and the amiable Hostess to their numerous friends who surrounded them. It is needless to add, that the gay votaries of Terpsichore kept up the merry dance till a late hour. The front of the Mansion-bottom was elegantly illuminated, and the tine military band of the lit Dragoons played in the entrance hall a variety of the finest airs as the company arrived. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. CHARLOTTE-TOWN, OCT. 23. ARRIVAL OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR. With feelings of lively satisfaction we have to congratulate our readers on the arrival of his Excellency Cul.

Ills Excellency landed on Thursday at eleven o'clock, under a salute front the vessel and George's Battery. He was loudly cheered on landing by a great con. course of spectators, and was received on the - 11 7 haf by a guard of the Olst Regiment and a number of the moat respectable in habitants. Ills Excellency, then proceeded to the Barracks, the residence of the late Governor, where he was received by him and the Members of his Majesty's Council. About an hour afterwards, the guns of the garrison announced that his Excel lency had taken the oaths of Office. In the evening the town was very generally illutnineted which had a very brilliant and pleasing effect, and we arc happy to observe that on this occa- Sian, when the inhabitants seemed to give a loose to their joy, we did not hear of a single instance. of tumult or disorder. On the contrary, this ebullition of public feeling, while conducted .was tempered throughout N w v i it t i t n a l d u c c g h te s e pi o ri f t d u e n co d ru chertu m e ,ret n lt e a s y s ity, and good sense, highly creditable to all classes of the inhabitants. yesterday at 2 o' clock his Excellenc y h eld a Le v ee a t the Court-House, when the Magistrates, Militia Officers, &c., to gether with several ot her Gentlemen, were introduced.

UNPARALLELED PEDEST o,lAND , ot.—Townshend,the walk. ing phenomenon, has achieved a moat marvellous performance. This man, who undertook to walk from this town to Bridgewater (12 miles) three times in each succeeding day, 72 miles alto gether, but who was impeded by the late desperate and unpre cedented state of the weather, and was in consequence com pelled to relinquish the undertaking, has now actually succeeded in accomplishing his most extraordinary attempt. He commenced on Monday morning, the 11th inst., and perse vered on every succeeding day in walking the distance, in spite of wind and weather, which were much against him, and finally performed all his lour:des, amounting in the whole to .132 miles, in six days. Ilia departure from Bridgewater, and arrival at North l'etherton, and return to this town on Satur day night:last, a little before twelve o'clock, was hailed by an accompaniment of drums and other noisy instruments, seconded by the vociferations of the populace.--( Taunton Courier. After the performance of Hamlet at the Fran. cais, two or three nights ago, the audience called for TA LMA and Mademoiselle Ducts ENOIS. For nearly half an hour no person appear ed upon the stage. The uproar was sublime —the noise awful—the Manager attempted to address the house, but his voice was drowned in cries of "TA LMA t" At length TA LMA came forward, bowed his head, and glided off. This did not satisfy the audience', and deafening cries of " Ducucmots!" split our ears. The Braves, with their decorations, stormed—the row was at its acme, when a little man with a blue sash entered one of the boxes. In an instant all was hushed. Les Braves suspended their breath—" flis presence all bosoms appeared to dismay."—fle was a Commissary of Police.— " In future," said the little man, 4 ' no actor will be suffered to comply with those calls of the audience taw the performance shall have ter minated." The.parterre was aghast. 4 ' T ALM A appeared," said one bolder than the rest. " Ile did wrong," replied the little man. " The Autho rities have commanded, as I have informed you, and if you wish to hear the afterpiece you will be silent." The chop-fallen Decares sat down—the little man took snuff, and the enter tainment proceeded without further interruption. HEBREW Row...—The biblical world is at pre sent occupied in the investigation of a Hebrew Rat of great antiquity, found in a vessel cap tured by the Greeks, which 11.01 l has recently been brought to this country. The price put upon this relic is Si ,250 francs, or 1,2501. ster ling. Half that amount is said to have been of remd for it by an eminent Hebrew Capitalist in London.

In Romney Marsh the disorder is excessive. On the South Down it has scarcely yet made its appearance. As soon as the duty is wholly removed from salt, the gr aziers purpose to give this article in quantity to their sheep, trusting that it will operate as a powerful preventive medicine, if not as an actual effective cure. Fauxot ROADS.—On December Bth, the putache (a sort of waggon), which runs between Valence and St. Vallier, in which were eleven passengers, fell into the Rhine at a league from `lain. A sailor, who was in the waggon, suc ceeded in saving four of his fellow-passengers; but two men, three women, and a girl, perished. The road is here inclosed between the bank of the river and a MU, a nd there are neither rails nor a parapet, and the attention of Government i s reque st e d to t h e spo t, which might be made safe at a small expence.—(Constitutiormel.)

We are sorry to observe that the operative cotton spinners of Glatigow, still continue to hold 11.1eetings for the annoyance of individual masters ; " yesterday." says the Glasgow Chronicle of Tuesday, " shortly after two o'clock, ti crowd of several hundreds, composed chiefly of stout lads anti women, :tumbled in front of the works belonging to Mr. Snodgrass, as if by a plan of preconcerted operations. In one instant they uttered loud shouts and commenced a violent at. tack on the work, large whinstimes, bricks, and fragments of tile were thrown with desperate force, and 48 panes of glass were demolished in an instant. One of the Calton Police seized a lad in the act of throwing a stone. The mob in this quarter disappeared with the same promptitude they had assembled." Yesterday forenoon about 11 o'clock, a considerable number of spinners, women and children, collected around the gate of Mr. Dunlop's mill, in expectation that some new halals were to arrive there to spin. The mob continued about the gate the greater part of the day. Some men spinners came to work there about 3 o'clock. 'The crowd hissed and hooted, and cryeel " Nobs, fly-water," &c. Two of the new hands left the mill about 4 o'clock, anti on going toward* Mr. Snodgrass's Ciey were attacked by the mob, who th ew stones and other missilis at them. One of the new hands. who was thus assault. ed, tired his pistol in the air. lie had his hat knocked off, and was severely cut in the head with a stone. The other workers were dogged home, but received no personal violence. This morning, about nine o'clock, halt' a dozen spinners were ob served lurking about the closs where Connor resides, and on his appearing at the doss with his wife, one of them cried to his companions, "come in and we'll break their necks now."— Another replied, " Whisht, whiaht, not just now, we'll take a better opportunity." The whole of the new hands came to their work this morning except the two that had been mobbed last night. At ten o'clock a snob was again collected at Mr. fun. lop's gate, chiefly spinners, and piercers evidently set on by them. They assailed the new hands with shouts, and cries of " the nobs." A female piercer in the mill was brutally knock. ed down, and her hands cut by the fall. The cap was also torts off her head, and her shawl was taken away. She was rescued by that clever officer, Serjeant Leckie, of the Calton Police. The mob continued their system of intimidation till all the workers had got within the gates. RIOT IN EDINDURGII.—Last night (Monday) many of the streets in the middle of the city were thrown into the greatest confusion by a mob of mischievous bays, about 300 in number, headed by a party ef journeymen bakers, who assembled on the bridges, and therefrom proceeded along Vie Cowgate, Iligh-street, &c., with the wanton and dastardly in tention of insulting all the Irish they could seize upon. Several r mons were made the victims of their brutality, and many as they met were collared and questioned as to their country.— S_Neral windows have been broken, and we fear that ninny of the poor Irish are hurt.

SPRING GUNS.-00 Thursday afternoon, about two o'clock, as Mr. William Kush, of Ipswich, was on his way to Holbrook, where he lately lived in a small farm, he stopped near Freston Wood, to speak to Jacob Frost, the woodman.— When about leaving him, he inquired if he could go through a path in the wood, which he had frequently been in the habit of doing when he re sided at Holbrook. Frost told him there was a spring-gun in the path, but he was sure it was not loaded, as Mr. Burch had discharged it the day before, and another person had also told him that morning it was not charged. Mr. Rush accord ingly pursued his way ; but he had not proceed ed far before he saw the gun, about a yard from the path, and stopping to look at it, he accidentally touched the wire, which laid across the path, and the gun went off, lodging part of its contents in his thumb and two of the angers of his left hand, which were so dreadfully shattered that amputation was deemed necessary. The operation was skilfully performed the same evening, by Mr. Macnamara, of Ipswich. The keeper of Sir F.
