1 1 A FRENCH PAPERS. ( From the Etoile of Monday, Nov. 29.) Coxs•rANTtxori.E, OCT. 25.—There is now no more doubt with respect to the fate of the Cap tain Pacha ; his disgrace is certain ; it is given out for illness, but he is expressly forbidden to come to the capital. The son of the Viceroy of Egypt, as we have already said, is his successor. The Porte preserves silence respecting the ope rations of its new Admiral. M. Mintiacky has not yet presented his credentials. Achmet Aga ) commanding the Turkish troops in Moldavia, has had a Moldavian Officer beheaded; this event has caused a great sensation among the Christian Legations. It is said that the evacuation of Moldavia is at length effected. 1t is certain that the Porte has received the most disastrous news from its armies in Thessaly. PARIS, Nov. 28.—The Universal Gazette says that M. Cousin, who has been implicated only by the depositions of two Students, will be shortly set at liberty. Count Bernstoff is still in the coun try. M. Cousin has been treated with the greatest attention, and even permitted to ride out in a carriage in Berlin. • ( From 11w Moniteur.J Lamm, Nov. 10. 7 -I'he Gazette of to.day contains the following article :—M. Pe reira, Minister of Finance to his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, in a dispatch addres. ed to the Board of Finance of the Pro vince of Bahia, founded on the appli cation made by an inhabitant of Bahia to obtain at the estimated value a warehouse, the pro perty of a Portuguese emigrant of that city which has been sequestrated, says that his Imperial Majesty orders the said Board to be informed, that the sequestration of the property of the Portuguese emigrants is merely a measure of pre caution, the object of which is no other than to oblige the Government of Lisbon to recognize the independence of the Empire of Brazil, but that as soon as this independence shall be recog nized, the property and the revenues of it will be restored to their owners." The same Journal makes the following reflec tions on the reasons gi:; . en by the Minister to show thy, justice of the sequestration : . . " We do not find in any publicist the right which the Go vernment at Rio de Janeiro arrogates to sequestrate the pro perty of a private individual Who has nothing to do with the question of the independence of Brazil, under the pretext of forcing by these violent measures the Governinent at Lisbon to recognize that at Rio de Janeiro. Besides, could the sacrifice of some individuals constrain the bulk of the Nation to be wanting in what it owes to its King? No; the effect of this violence can only be to delay more and more the reconciliation of the two countries : for the right of indemnity is never lost; neither time nor revolutions can destroy it ; we see an exam ple of it in France, which is now making the greatest ef forts to indemnify the victims of the Revolution. Our fio. vernment is so sensible of the force of these two truths, that though it has on its hands the means to indemnify itself in the most ample manner, It not only does not make use of them, but on the contrary grants to the Brazilians and their property di;: same protection that it atilolls to the Portuguese. (Prom the Couriqr Frenicais of Sunday.) Anosuunc, Nov. 2,2.—We have received let ters from ConstantinOple of the 25th October. The Captain Pacha is dangerously ill ; accord- . lug to some. accounts lie is dead. The Sultan 1144 nominated Ibrahim Pachu, the son of the Viceroy of Egypt, Generalissimo of the Army and Navy of the Ottoman empire. But it is generally thought toat this is a mere trick of the Divan to draw this young Chief to Constani nople, where he would soon be got rid. of. It is mit very likely, however, that he will fall into it ; but if he takes cure of himself, which is by no means certain, for it is not known where he is at present, he will without doubt return to ,Egypt. M* anwhile the Divan is spreading a report that the 14;sses of the Ottoman fleet are by no means so great as they have been represented. Two frigates and a brig have succeeded in saving Altemselyes under cover of the cannon of the Dardanelles, hut these probably are the last ships that will reach the place, the Greeks now tieing masters of the sea. By the latest news it Cppvars that they burnt, on the 15th October, two more Turkish frigates. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. • EXTILACT OF A LETTER 141.0/ASTOCKUOLM,OCT.2B. This country, which can proudly assert that it does not owe one shilling of debt, is at this -mo ment in the highest degree of prosperity, which is 'rapidly increasing. There is an enlightened and mild Government under a popular King, who is firm on the throne, and may bid defiance to any attack from a northern colossal . Power ; a con tented • and happy people, and the term ' SC Radical" Is not known among them. It.has in an especial manner been bleSsed with a bountiful harvest, and, in short, peace and plenty may, in the strictest sense of the word, he said to reign throughout every quarter of the kingdom. • 'No Minister, perhaps, who has been appointed. -to this :Court as a Representative of Great Britain, •has executed his official duties with more zeal and ability, and stands more highly popular, than his Excellency Sir BaNJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, long the faithful servant of your King. Ile is beloved from the Sovereign down to the most humble individual, for his urbanity, liberality, and condescending manners. Of all other Ministers here •I assure you Sir BENJAstur i s decid e dly the most popular, and may be ranked as the first, who uniformly receives a- most marked attention from the King and his family, and - sometimes .spends days. with them at their country palaces, and is .seen to walk about arm in anti with the King. In those parts Sir .B. visited lust summer, such us Gottenburgh, &c. where he met his countrymen, he was allsolutely idolized for ;:his frank and graciOus manlier, and was elegantly • entertained by them. As to politics, I have the best reason to know, frOm high authority, that BeitNAnorrg has declared himself the firm friend ~ of the British Empire, and little doubt can be en. !ertained• thatoyour Ambassador has exerted his influence in this respect in no ordinary degree. '!`here has beau ; a great fall of snow and hard frost here,'Ohich has extended to 150 miles in the interior, where the thermometer of Fahren heit stood at .31, and sledges have been moving about,.a rare circumstance in October. There is every prospectof an early and sev ere w i n t er . The Queen is still here, and to be. seen daily siding about, and at the Theat re.; but her popu /arity, for what cause it is difficult to assign any reason, stands by no means so high as that of the King or Prince OSCAR. and his Princess. The latter have just arrived from Norway, on a visit to the King, on which occasion the city was illu minated. It is fixed by a Royal Mandate that the Prince shall reside at least six months in the year at Norway, a wise act to draw the Norwe gians, hitherto under the Danish Government, more closely to the Swedes, so us to constitute them one people. _ _ . Lord' CASTLEURAGII and Mr. RAE WILSON are here from Russia. WiLsoN, it is said, has been annoyed in Russia, having been often taken for a General of the same name. There have been different travellers here during last summer, and I think by and bye a tour in Sweden will be just as fashionable as that in France or Italy. Through the activity of General 13r.00mmLn our city is to be illuminated soon with gas, in which view some enlightened individualss are in vited from London to forward this important ob ject. Great improvements are making in the place, and new buildings erecting. If Mr. McAnAm's system were adopted we should be quite the thing, and I hope no stone will be left unturned to forward this scheme to mend our ways, after your example in England. The venerable Cou n t EUICELISTRAN, who long held the office of Prime Minister, has retired on a pension for his faithful services, and resides on the estates of his Countess in Poland, to pass the remainder of his days. His fine library of 40,000 volumes has been presented to the public. There are three ships-of-war, of 90 guns each, on the stocks at Carlscrona, one of which, the Charles John, is to be launched the 10th of November. The Swedes are active in augmenting their naval force, and the King is indefatigable in bringing the military into the highest state of discipline. FOR, THE SUN. OPERA HOUSE. MR. EDITOR, —Observing, in consequence of the number of rich individuals in this country, that various Joint Stock Companies are forming, 1 am surprised that no proposal has been made for the formation of a Company for the purchase of the different interests in the King's Theatre, in order to place it on a secure and 'liberal foundation, accompanied with a magnificence suitable to the finest Theatre in the world, and honoured with the name of his Majesty. A more advantageous opportunity cannot be expected, as the greatest in terest in the concern, that of Mr. CHAMBERS, must be sold, and an arrangement satisfactory to the minor interests may doubtless be easily made.— Very beneficial results may be expected to the Proprietors of such an undertaking as well as to the Public, and I beg leave to recommend to the proper authorities, before they grant licences to Theatres in future, to take sufficient security for the regular payment of the Performers, that the misery and disgrace now so frequent may be prevented, and that additional legisiative inter ference be endeavoured to be obtained for that purpose, should there not be found sufficent power in the present laws. W. T. FAUNTLEItOY. The following is an extract from a letter sent by Mr. HENRY FAO NiTLEROY toe friend, shortly preceding his execution, charging him to console his wife and regard his children : " The time is fast approaching, when at length the gloomy veil of death will encompass the setting sun of human exist. ence, and the meridian gleams of earthly enjoyments will h e eclipsed from all wordly pursuits : the soul will be separated from the excitement of all human depravity of action—from the voice of relatives and friends, to await the call of an Al. mighty power, till a celestial tribunal shall sit in judgment over the sinful course of man. The doleful vibrations of the solemn sound of the prison-bell will soon betoken the soul of its awful change from the present to the future state. " Feign would I leave this transitory stage without a worldly care, but such are the feelings of nature bursting forth on the agonies 'of my life, that I cannot quit, devoid of a husband's and parent's feeling, without casting a lingering and longing hope for those from whom I am parted. Oh ! my wife, my children, my all that is dear and injured by me on earth, for thee with a contrite heart mercy is Implored, and I trust that by thee forgiveness is sought. I am brought to a due sense o f my state ; I feel as a man, but die as a Christian, in the faith of mercy from the all supreme omnipotence of a Divine will, through repentance of an ill-spent life. " Regard my fate, and kindly remember the entreaties of my parting breath. As an expiring victim of crime, I enjoin ye, the parents of my dear children, to bestow on them thy maternal kindness, and, as you value their existence, so regu late their morals. Awaken them with a due knowledge of the solemn and awful event of their -father's fate, that they may avoid the track of the evil path of man; check in the spring of their years the budding growth of vice, ere they are over run with the thorns of human depravity ; cultivate their minds with spiritual grace, that they may seek affiance in an overruling power : for thy guide take a divine precept—' rrain up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.' With fervent prayer I hope that under their tender mother's care, they may prove a moral example to posterity, and by the rectitude of their lives defy the stigma of a censorious world. May their father's offences never be cruelly adverted to to imbitter their days—may the light of wisdom direct the way of their course till they depart hither to receive the rewards of their virtues from the Heavenly Father dell." Tim Ilonx.—The body of Mr. Faunderoy was removed from Newgate last night as privately as possible, in a hearse. It had been previously stripped and placed in a shell. The clothes will be given to his friends, and do not, as some suppose, become the perquisite of the executioner. These men receive a salary of fifty-two guineas a-year each, as a remuneration for their horrible avocation. MR. F:AUNTLEROY'S FAMILY.—The situation of Mrs. Fauntleroy can be better imagined than described. She con tinues in the most profound affliction, and her health has se riously suffered from the anxiety and wretchedness to which she has been subjected. All that the consolations of friendship and the warmest sympathy of those who knew her or her hus band (and many of the latter have been sufferers by Mr. Fauntleroy's conduct), could effect towards alleviating the wretcheness of her situation,,has, however, been done, anti her pecuniary circumstances,ate not such as to occasion any anx i ety for her future proCision. A great portion of the income which she derived from her husband will now be lost to her, but we understand that she inherits from 'ner mother a sufficient annual sum to counterbalance this deficiency. Her son has been sent out of town, for the purpose of keeping him from a scene, every object of which must tend to sharpen his •afftiction. The feel ings of the brother and sister admit of no alleviation at pre sent ; but the mother of the deceased still remains in blissful anorace of his fate. INDIA. FAMINE IN THE DECCAN. [Frons the Calcutta Journal.] We beg most particularly to refer our readdi and the public in general to the following forcible appeal in behalf of the In habitants of THE DECCAN, now suffering dreadfully under the pressure of famine. We join the benevolent NATIVES who have come forward with such prompt philanthropy in intreat ing, that those who are able to furnish the means of relief to starving thousands of our fellow men, would do so, in the name of our common Creator, Father and God, before it be too late ! Appeal to the Public for . the Relief of eh. poor Native: of the Southern Provinces of the Deccan, who are suffering under severe Famine. Famine, one of the greatest calamities that the Almighty disposer of events inflicts on mankind, desolated but a short time ago the fair plains of Ireland. No sooner was this event known in Britain, than its generous inhabitants opened their purses for the relief of their brethren In distress, and even dis tant colonies were not found backward to imitate the noble ex ample set them by the paint country. The destroying power has now changed its theatre of action, and shifting the scene of havoc from Europe to Asia, wastes with its blasting breath the devoted regions of the Deccan. The whole of the country in the South from Terechinopoly to Vengole, and from Malras to Bangalore, including a space of nearly 40,000 square miles, has been this year visited by a dearth that has reduced its wretched inhabitants to the most deplorable condition. The poorer classes of Society, in many of these districts, even in times of plenty, can scarcely manage to earn even a bare subsistence for their families ; their condition, therefore, in the hours of scarcity, is unhappy beyond what imagination can conceive. There are now no more, alas ! as formerly, of those Chiefs and Noblemen in that place who perform acts of muni. licence and largesses ; none who will feed thousands for the sake of the reward that charity and virtue will bring to itself : the poor, therefore, have no hope to be saved from starvation, des pair, and death, but from those who pity their distress, and who sympathise in their misfortunes. The famine, even al. lowing it the shortest period, must last until the next year's crops are gathered in : a period, therefore, of ten months of want and privations Is still hanging over the heads of the un happy and despair—struck natives, and should the rain unfor tunately fail next season, the poor sufferers will be sunk to the last pitch of wretchedness. We, therefore, whose names are hereunto subscribed, im pressed with the sense of the 'high philanthropy and universe benevolence, which is one of the leading features in the cha racter of the inhabitants of this metropolis, intreat them in cha rity to contribute money or grain according to their pleasure or means, in order that the same may be applied to relieve the want of the miserable victims of hunger, who are groaning under the severest woes and misfortunes. Messrs. Palmer and Co. have undertaken to be Treasurers, to receive all contributions made, and to forward donations of all kinds to their agents, Messrs. Binny and Co., at Madras, who will apply the same as may be most expedient towards the relief of the unhappy sufferers. We beg the friends of humanity to take this appeal into their consideration, and to remit the cash and grain as early as possible to Messrs. Palmer and Co., as the fair season will soon pass away, after which it will be very difficult, if not imprac ticable, to transmit any rice to Madras. It is In contemplation, should the contributions render it pos. slble, to establish Marconi, or charitable inns, wh e r e i n f oo d will be distributed to th e Poor * separate on es , h owever, will be appropriated to the Brahmins* distinct from the o th er c l asses of natives, where food, cooked by Brahmins, will be served out to them. Should any person, either Hindoo, Mussulman, or Chris. thin, wish to have charitable inns peculiarly established to give victuals to those of the same religion as himself, he shall have his wish gratified, if his contribution, individually or jointly with others of the same religion, is adequate to carry it into effect. Those who wish to have rice or victuals distributed In their own name exclusively, shall have their intention fulfilled (if their contribution beof sufficient importance) by having Choul. tries, particularly adapted for that purpose, provided by the friends of the undersigned, without ahy charge for rent being made, as it is a national and charitable concern. . We first implore the Christians As RULERS or TUE COUX TRY, to yield relief to the famished natives in the name of the Blessed Redeemer (who repeatedly commands to feed the poor, and tells him who has two coats to bestow one on hint that bath none) to spare some part of their superfluity or luxury towards the object of this appeal, for the Lord will reward the wise Steward who lays out his Talent for the benefit of his Master. To many in the higher and middle classes of Society, a small retrenchment of some expence that can be easily spared will no doubt be cheerfully made, when it is considered that by this eleemosynary act the existance of many human beings is pro longed, and though no human eye can perceive, the exact object and individual contribution serves to rescue from death, ye the all-seeing and merciful God above can discriminate and re ward the donor accordingly. The Mussulmans we conjure to contribute to the relief of the sufferers in the name of their holy Phrophet who taught that prayer carries a man half way to heaven, that fasting lays him at the treshhold, and that Charity opens the gates of Paradise; and in the name of the virtuous Ali who seven times divided his property among the poor. To Hindoos it is only necessary to mention the many su blime doctrines of charity inculcated by our holy books.— Kristna said, " I will make obeisance to those who bestow food in the time of famine." Bhisma said, "no donation is equal to that of victuals and water ;" and by the Hindu Ethics we are taught, that " a thousand elephants and horses, a herd of kine, the whole of a man's estate, gold and silver utensils, as far as the earth and ocean extends, and a crone of decorated virgins or daughters, cannot counterbalance the virtue of bestowing food to the poor." We conjure these of the three faiths of Christians, Munn!. mans, and Ilindoos, in the name of our common Creator and God, to shew the affection that man, as a commoner of Nature should bear to his fellow.man, by relieving so many individu als of those three religions who are daily dying for want of their usual sustenance, and we make this appeal with the more con fidence, well knowing that the same benevolence that has so often been exerted in this metropolis towards the relief of the distressed, will be now extended to so large a portion oft human n ca beings who are groaning under the severest calamity tha betel mortal man.

Yesterday the Anniversary Festival of this In stitution was held at the Old London Tavern, in Bishopsgate street. It was announced that his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE would preside on the occasion, and accordingly, at a few minutes after six, he entered the dining-room, accom panied by some of the Vice-Presidents, and Stewards of the So ciety. His Royal Highness was received with considerable ap plause by the company assembl e d, w hi c h amoun t e d t o a bo u t a hundred and fifty persons. On the removal of the cloth, a short grace was pronounced, and immediately after, Non Nobis Domino' was sung by Messrs. Broadhurst, Collier, Phillips, and Taylor. The ROY u. CitaTimex, in giving the first toast, said, that it was usual on ordinary occasions, merely to give it in so many words, but on the present occasion, owing to a recent circum stance which had taken place in Scotland, lie could not allow it to pass over in the usual manner. The circumstance he al luded to, was the late restoration that had been made to several Noble Scotch Families, of their estreated titles : the country in which they had the happiness to be born, was the only one in which so generous a step had been taken, and was, perhaps, the only one in which it would have been safe to take such a step —(applause.)—Having said thus much, he had only to notice one more circumstance before he sat down, which was, that his present Majesty, while Prince of Wales, had contributed to the funds of this Society to the amount of two hundred pounds, and since his accession to the Throne, had added to that dona tion the sum of one hundred pounds. On the present evening, he (the Duke of Clarence) had the pleasure of announcing to the Company that that donation was further increased by another hundred pounds, which he was authorised to promise in his Majesty's name to this Institution—(loud applause.)— He had now only to propose " the King's very good health, with four times four." This toast was received with very great applause, as was likewise the national anthem of ' God Save the " The Royal Family."—(Applause.)--Glee, Awake, /E °lien Lyre.' " The Duke of York and the Army." Tune : The Duke of York's March.' Glee : Hail, Star of Brunswick r Mr. CounT E NAY begged leave to propose to the Company a health which he was sure all would receive with pleasure. In proposing the health of the Duke of Clarence, be would not dwell on his claims to their gratitude, for those claims were so well known that it would be superfluous. It was not only by munificent donations that a person in the situation of his Royal Highness was able to show his kind wishes ; he could shew it much more by a permanent countenancing of its proceedings, by which means he would bestow on it a most important benefit —(Applause,)—ln such institutions as the present, the counte nance of his Royal Highness would always be of service; but In this particular one, which was in a manner the representa tive of a most important portion of Great Britain, his favour was of inestimable value. He, therefore, begged to propose the health of" The Duke of Clarence," with four times four. This toast was:drank with loud and continued applause. The Duke of CLARENCE begged leave to return his thanks to the Gentleman for the particular kind manner in which they had done him the honour to drink his health. This was not the first time that he had had the happiness of addressing them on these Anniversaries, and it depended entirely on themselves if he did not often again address them on the like occasion : he could, however, only say, that so long as he was placed in so desirable an eminence, so long he would exert himself to the utmost of his ability to serve this most excellent, useful, and charitable Institution.—(Applause.)—He should have, when be came to speak of the success of the Society, a better opportunity of dwelling on its peculiar merits, and therefore he would, for the present, content himself with saying, that as long as they did him the honour to continue him in the office of President, so long he hoped he should be found deserving of remaining in that situation.—(Applause.) Song, Mr. Broadhurst, ' Scots wha' hae.' Toast, " The Wooden Walls of Old England."—Song, 4 . Rule Britannia.' Colonel HAMILTON proposed " the health of the Duchess of St. Andrew's a n d o f Clarence, with three times three," which was drank with loud applause. The ROYAL CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks for the honour done to the Duchess, begged to assure the company of her entire good wishes for the prosperity of the Institution.-- (A plause.)—Glee, Here's a health to all good lasses.' The Duke of CLARENCE then proposed the health of the Duke of Montrose, who for 28 years had so ably and actively filled the President's Chair of this institution. He was autho rized by his Grace to say, that but for the gout, which confined him to his chamber, he would certainly have dined with them on the he p i‘ r i e r s . en n t r o o c a c d a h s u to r n st . , , l j 'u o n h e n , ' Should , uld l‘ii acquaintance.' sonrwas given in the very finest style of sweet and simple execution. — It was most vehemently encored. Anderson. u The Row. CHAIRMAN had been pleased at the encore that had just taken place, for he looked upon it as a national mark of the feeling of the evening. To that national feeling he wished now most particularly . to appeal, in behalf of those who had not been so fortunate in life as themselves, and he trusted that that appeal would not be the less successful fur being made on the Anniversary of their Saint. lie would not enter into the history of' this Corporation, but content hithself with stating, that the principal object of this Institution was to afibrd assistance to the indigent, and to the widows and or phans of the indigent. Nationality in olden times bad been used as a term of reproach, but at present he rather hoped it meant something sympathetic with the sufferings of their countrymen. Ile knew no difference between the North and South sides of the Tweed, b u t he could not help observing, that wherever he had met a Scotchman, whether under the Tor rid Zone, or in the more frigid regions of Britain, he had always found him active, brave, industrious, and fortunate.— Doubtless there were exceptions to this, and in favour of these exceptions he was now speaking ; he therefore most cordially proposed—" The Health, Welfare, and Prosperity of the Scot fish Hospital." This toast was drank with three times three and loud ap plause.—Song, Mr. Taylor, " Good Old Times of Adam and _ _ Toast—" The Vice-Presidents of the Scottish Hospital."— Song, Mr. Phillips,' Who deeply drinks of Wine.' roast, " The Land of Cakes."—Song, Mr. Collier, Sweet, sweet home. Toast, " The Land we live in."—Tune, ' Oh the roast beef of Old England.'—Glee, Mynheer Van Dunck.' " The health of the Treasurer, the Hon. Mr. Fraser," was then drank with applause, upon which that Gentleman return. ed thanks; he trusted that when the subscriptions were an nounced, it would be found that the funds of the Hospital were materially improved. " Toast,The Standing Committee of the Charity."—Song, Mr. Taylor,' Oh what a town.'—This song, upon the whole, was a dujl one, but made a decided hit in the last line; even Royalty gave it a nod of approbation— ' rhere stands Bedlam—and there's the Court of Chancery.' A list of the subscriptions was then read, and, among others contained the following :—The King, 100 guineas ; the Duke of Clarence, 201. annual ; the Duchess of Clarence, 20/. annual; Duke of Montrose, 20 guineas annual ; General Devereux, 20 guineas; Colonel Hamilton, 20 guineas; Mr. Wilson, 10 guineas; Mr. Smith, 10 guineas; Mr. Hill, 10 guineas, &c. Before we left the room the subseriptions amounted to nearly five hundred pounds. His Royal Highness shortly after left the room, but many of the company remained to a late hour. ROYAL SOCIETY. Yesterday being St. Andrew's Day, the Royal Society met at their Chambers in Somerset House, for the purpose of elect. ing the President, Officers, and Council for the ensuing year, Sir HUMPINLY DAVY read an elaborate and highly interesting Report of the Council on the progress of natural science during the last twelve months.
