CONSTANTINOPLE, NoV. 25.—The Porte has been obliged to pay some attention to the com plaints brought against Veli Pacha ; he has lost he Government of LivAdia, and obtained in its stead that of Lepanto ; Solyman Pacha, of Le panto, goes in the same quality to Livadia ; and Selim Seri Pacha to Salonichi. The troubles in Diarhtker are appeased ; the Pacl;a has re turned to the 'city, and the instigators of the revolt will be punished with the utmost ri gour. Less favourable accounts have been re ceived from Aleppo, where llomred Ashmed formerly. Grand Vizier, and subduer of Servia, with mu►cta difficulty escaped the swords lifted against him. The oppressions of all kinds laid to his charge have excited the greatest indignation among the Janissaries and Sherifs,, who are for the most part Emirs ; they renounced all obedience to him, and the folions populace proceeded with cries of rage to the pa- lace of the Governor, where they put every per son they found to the sword. The Paella himse escaped, and placed himself at the bead of the troops who remained faithful to him, with whose aid be is resolved to besiege tl►e city, and subdue the insurgents. The fate of the Armenians who have been concerned in the direction of the Mint is not yet decided; but the plague has penetrated into their prison ; one of them is dead, and the others are infected. BERLIN, JAN. I.—The official Gazette publish ed to-day an order addressed by the King to the Minister of the Interior and of War, which tnaltes several modifications in the organisation of the, Landwehr, the number of battalions attache,' to each regiment of the line is reduced ; the four to three. Af , er giving the order at length, the Ga- zette adds the followi3g reflections , :—The con tents of this Cabinet Order will suffice to shew the worth of the sinister reports circulated,partly by the public papers and partly in the circles of the capital, and in the provinces, as if the Land-. Wehr were on the point of experiencing, if not a total depopulation, at least an entire change, tending to the same end, and which it was even concluded bad been concerted with Austria. The truly patriotic Institution of the Landwehr is a creation of the King's own free will. His Majesty has experienced from it the bravery, the devotedness, the fidelity of bis people, in a moment of the most imminent danger. If it had been necessary to strengthen the bond of union between the Throne and the people, the Landwehr would have done it. The provinces have had repeated proofs of the Icing's satisfaction, with the zeal every where displayed in the establish. ment of this Institution, partly from his. Majesty's own mouth and partly in writing. Calumny alone can form or spread the idea that his Majesty intended such a change in the Landwehr as would draw after it an entire alteration in the whole of our present military systems. The only changes to be made, as we see, will be in the external or ganization, the object of whieh is partly econo my, and partly the simplification of the mechan ism, for the more speedy employment of the men in case of a sudden drawing together of the troops. The essence of the Institution is so far from being effected, that those changes in the or ganization will contribute to acceleratk.its per fection. away." The Duke of Sussex, Colonel of the Hon. Ar tillery Company, honoured the- Officers of that Corps with his company at their mess-dinner, at the Armoury-house, on 'Thursday evening. Lord ERSKINE has paid a visit to his native country, atter an absence of fifty-one years. He arrived at the house of his brother, the Earl of Bucitiot, in George-street, Edinburgh, on Saw day last, acrd there met his grand children (who are receiving their education its Edinburgh) with their parents. The Noble and Learned Lord will find a new creation since he lett Scotland in 1768. Ibe new town was not then begun, and the im provements in every direction exceed all that can he witnessed its any other city upon earth. The Noble Lord says in his letter, that " in his own family, he finds ee new generations around him, while those of former days are passed CAMNRIaGIi, JAN. 14.—There will he Congre gations on the following c lays of Lent Term : Saturday Jan. 22, (Bachelors' Commencement.)

The Countess has ordered her accustomed benevolent supply of clothing for the poor in the vicinity of Icot. The Viscount Clive's annual donation of beef and bread was distriha►ted to the poor of the neigh bourhood of Powis Castle and fool, Montgome ryshire, of which upwards of 500 families par took on Saturday. A similar distribution took place at Lymore (another sear of his Lordship), to the poor of the town and neighbourhood of Montgomery. The Hon. Robert Henry Clive, of Oakeley l'ark, lately directed three fat beeves, with a quantity of bread, to be distributed to the poor of Bromfield and Haltord, in this county. We have much gratification in slating, that Lord Deerhurst has, with his usual benevolence, given pecuniary relief to all the families requiring it, in his neighbourhood, with the most unsparing hand. Nor is this all—his Lordship has personally visited the poor around to a considerable extent, and by that method more correctly ascertained ,which were the real objects of charity ; and dealt out l►is bounty accordiugly. This example is too praiseworthy co require any eulogy of ours, and is s u ch a s we trust, will meet with many imi miors.,--( Worcester Journal.) In consequence of the severity of the weather, the Mayor convened a meeting on Tuesday last, which was most numerously attended by all classes of the inhabitants, and a subscription was enter . ed into for the relief of the poor, by distributions of soup and coals. The sum of 4001. was sub scribed in the room, and other subscriptions to the amount of 2001. have been since added. The town are much indebted to the Mayor for his prompt attentioo to the necessities of the poor, and have made a suitable return by sb liberally obeying : 120 chaldrons of coals have been distributed, and proved a seasonable relief. --(Norwich Mercury.)

BAD TIMES.—A sexton of a parish church within a hundred miles of Stafford, complaining of the hardness of the times, said that he had dug only two graves within the last fortnight ! A Goon CUSTOMER.—A Correspondent of a Provincial Paper, under the signature of " A Scarsdale Farmer," having written with some as perity on the subject of ale measures used by innkeepers, " A Publican" says, in his re ply, " If I am not mistaken, the Scarsdale Farmer was in my house the other evening. lie entered at the kitchen door, and imme diately scraped his shoes upon a bar that is attached to time fire-grate ; he then sot veycd the bar, and at length took to the parlour. — At these times, Mr. Editor, it behoves us to be economical, and for this reason, my servant had made op a substantial fire, .which my guest immediately destroyed with the poker.

This being the First Seal before Hilary Term, a considerable quantity of business was transacted. On the LORD CHANCELLOR entering the Court, Mr. HART moved Ex-parte for an Injunction to restrain the Reverend JOHN CAMBROSE froth rl 2 gociating certain Bills of Exchange, whieb be w.f.% in possession of, bearing the.acceptance of Dave Latouch, Esq., son of the Right Honourable Lady Cecilia Latouch. The Learned Counsel stated, that the plaintiff was a young man not more than twenty-three ; that being in want of money, the Reverend defendant suggested, that if Mr. ',aloud) would accept bills to the amount of 50001. he would be able to get them di,counted for a bonus of 5001. The plaintiff had according ly accepted the bills, which lidd never been dis counted, and now the defendant telosed to deliver them up, and threatened to negoci4te them. — Mr. Hart said, he moved for this injunction on the e.ifidavits of two Gentlemen, Mr. Glascutt and Mr. ‘Vingate, .who had seen the defendant, and who verified the facts shove valet,. LORD CHANCELLOR.—" Tnke the Injunction, and give notice, that application way be wade re• specting it Any day that way be convenient to the Pa i leS." VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. His 11osouR Sat this morning, but nothing of any public importAnce occurt.ed, the business principally relating to Bankrupt cases. OLD BAILEY, JAN. 15. BANK FORGERIES. This morning Henry Wicks, a young man of respectable appearance was put to the bar, charger( with utterinz a note for the sum of 101. with intent to detrain! she Bank of England. Ott the indictment being read the prisoner pleaded Guilty. Mr. Justice 1-loLaovo enquired of the prisoner, if he was aware that the offence was a capital one, and subjected him to the penalty of death ? The prisoner said he was, anti did not wish to give the Court any further trouble. The RECORDER informed the prisoner he must re port his case to the Prince Regent without any circumstances of extenuation ; lie had, therefore, better retract his plea. The prisoner, howevtr, persisted, and his plea of Guilty was recorded, — Mr. REYNOLDS os Counsel for the Rink, ail(' lie felt it his duty to state, that the proceeding of the prisoner did not arise frbm any communica tion from or on behalf of the prosecutors, as none whatever had been made. The Court then proceeded to the trial of Sarah Paley for a like offence, and the whole o f this day is appropriated for the disposal of Bank Cases. Sir FEARCIS UURDETT, %vim is oow at Bath, has announced his intentiou of being present at the aniversary dinner of the Concentric Society, on Monday next, at Liverpool.—Some delightful Speeches expected! DISTRESS OF THR LOWER I RISH.—AII the bakers' shops for a considerable distance round the neigh bourhood of St. Gilei's were suddenly clears of their entire stock of bread, yesterday, even to their last penny roll, under the following interest ing circumstances :—lt had been observed, that the children in the Irish School in St. Giles's, in many instances lately fainted away, whilst engaged at their lessons ; and upon Mr. Finnigan, the sir periutendant, making inquiry into the cause, he discovered that their indisposition was entirely occasioned by want of food, many of them receiv ing no other sustenance thaua small quantity of potatoes once in twenty-four hours. Yet their desire of learning was in general so ardent that not the slightest complaint was made to the su perintendent, they went about their little tasks as earnestly as though they were in the enjoy ment of every comfort. These eircumst mice. came to the knowledge of Mrs. Coatis yes terday, and with her accustomed benevolence she ordered an ample supply of bread to be sent in stantly to the school, lor the relief not only of the poor children, but their parents also; and her order was executed so liberally and promptly, that all the bakers' shops in the neighbourhood were instant• ly stripped of their contents, as we before de scribed.---(Morning Herald.) DESTRUCTIVE Fute.—About eight o'clock on Wednesday evening last, the workshop of Mr. Sitnpsuu, flax-dresser in Knaresbrough, caught fire, owing to the 'snuff of a candle having been incautiously thrown upon the floor. The games soon communicated to the adjoining dwelling house and stables, occupied by John Yates, the cattier between York and that town ; and, we are sorry to add, that the premises were all com pletely burnt down. The horses were in the stable when the fire commenced, but , they were rescued, and the household furniture was also preserved, without the loss of any lives. AFFLICTING EVENT.—On Tuesday, a lad about 13 years of age fell from the top of a waggon lost( of coal, near the village of Ashley, and one of the front wheels passing over his body, lie died soon after. He was the only son nt a man named Norm is, who was driving the waggon, and on casually looking back, saw his poor boy under the wheel tic instantly stopped the vehicle, but too late to prevent the fat al .consdtrences, which occasioned feelings of grief and consternation in the unfor tunate father, more easily conceived than described. Suictne.—Wednesday last, Mts. Ithooss, of the Packhorse Inn, Southowram, put a period to her existence, by hanging herself. In the night of Wednesd , y se'oatight tcyo beau tiful sw ans, i n .the ca nal it ROBERT RCEBBROOKE, Esq. at, Itaishbrooke-Ilall, near Rory, being cmi hued to a small place broken in the trozen surface, Were maliciously killed and one carried away, the other being left upon the ice with its throat cut.
