FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Monday, Nov. 19.) PARIS, Nov, 18.—The letters from Constantinople by way of Odessa are of the 23d of October. , That capital was perfectly tranquil. • The King having learnt that his Catholic Majesty intended to go to Barcelona, and knowing that he had at his disposal a considerable corps of Spanish troops, thought that he might wish to appear in that capital surrounded only by his own subjects. The Viscount de St. Priest has therefore been commissioned to propose to him in "the King's name to withdraw from Barcelona the French div:- which occupied it. His Catholic Majes.*- '"O° accepted this offer, the division has r- 'Y havin g . to return to France. eceived ord ers • A WORD UPON TWO razauD IC TES RELATIVE TO THE TURKS. " Notwithttanding-ii,,e boasted wor d of honour of the Mussulmen,' sat* .:. the English Admiral in his des patch," IhD.ti . irn Pacha unworthily violated his word." Who., then, has so much boasted the good faith and uprightness of the followers of Mahonict, unless it be the philosophers of the last century, after the example of their patriarch Voltaire ? It is especially in his pretended general history called Essai sur les 11 ours, that he .has neglected no opportunity to represent : 'the Mussulmen as conscientious ob servers.,of their oaths, and the Christians on the contrary-. as perfidiously disregarding the most solfitnn treaties. Faithful to his plan of everywhere 81746wirig the disciples of the Coran as superior to • those of the Gospel, it is seldom that he draws the 'picture of a chief of the Saracens, Moors, or Turks, • without betraying the• secret wish that Jam reader .• may apply to him the famous lines of his Zaire-- ▪ 4 Genereux, bienfaisant, juste, plein de vertus, S'il etait ne Chraien, que serait it de plus And in our days have not certain officious defenders of: he legitimacy of the Turkish dominion in Greece called upon us a hundred times to see a new Oros mane and almost a French chevalier, in Ibrahim Pacha, the incendiary, the devastator of the Morea, the trafficker in salted heads, the murderer of wo men and children, the oath-breaker---in short, who has just- broken the faith which he pledged in axe face of Heaven. The second prejudice which v. e wish to point out here, is that which tends to represent Turkey as the most ancient ally of France. It would be time to leave this popular_ belief to the use of those whose politics consist of common-place sayings. On what foundation is it built ? Francis 1., closely pressed on all sides by the united forces or Henry VIII. slid Charles V., conceived the plan of making a powerful diversion by engaging Soliman 11. in this great quar: rel. The Ottoman Admiral, the famous .Sarbarossa immediately joined his gullies with the ?renal feet, from which he soon separated to crimmit atrocious excesses on the coast of Italy. It is apparently from this epoch that we are to dal e the alliance of the Crescent and Fleur-de-Lis.„'which is so dear to our coffee-house politicians. But where can they show us any vestiges of it ? Nothing, on the contrary, is more easy than to r'iace examples before their eyes, which incontestal - 4 prove that our Kings never thoOght them.soaes bound by an engagement, secret or/public, to the Ottoman Porte. Louis 7, 4 0. N.; the natural enemy of Austria, and even accused of favouring the malcontents of Hungary, as soon as he learns that that kingdom is threatened by the Turks, does not hesitate to post-. pone the interests of his policy to those of religion and civilization'. He sends to the aid of the Emperor a corps of troops, with the flower of his nobility at their head. s Tha total defeat of the Ottomans at the battle of St. Gothard is ascribed by the Germans themselves, to the French valour, Some years later, the Turks united all their efforts . against the isle of Candi'a, and the Venetians saw the French hasten to assist them in protracting their heroic defence againsii: the barbarians. Charles X. has just shown Mins& worthy of his immortal an cestors : the most civilized people in the universe will never be the ally of that which incessantly aims at the destructir in cf all we have that is the most', sacred and thr, most dear. (From the Journal des Debuts of Sunday.) 17.—Some Prelates have demanded of Fran(' e, that she should make Christian elections. Is it rrobable it will not make Turkish ones. The 'nor-Tent would be badly chosen, when all hearts are palritating with the :exults of the battle of Navarin. this moment that battle is a loss for the Pre- . 'nets. It deprives tilem of the resource of promis ing to the elentors their assent for concerts in favour of the Gre , .k,, which was a powerful means of se duction when the riinistry -considered them as re volters against the legitimacy of the scymetar. Now the Ministry rejoice, as every one knows, at the unforeseen event which has determined their deli veance. We hope that the news which will suc cessively arrive from the Departments, will equally ,rejoice the same Ministry at the results of the great -battle of the_elections. NEW CRIME OF THE MINISTRY. We arc informed of another Ordinance for the es .tahlishment of the Censorship. On the 30th of the month it will be ftilminated. Let it be remarked, that the elections will not be over by the 30th. Corsica will not ill ive returned its Deputies by that time, as its Electoral College will not be assembled till the .sth of Jarnary. " Electors ! you are placed between two light houses—the censorship is passed, and that which is preparing, which show you your dangers. You see - what a Ministry weighs down France. Let its ruin come from the urn, or a fearful tyranny will." (Vrom the co;: !Ftid o pnet of Sunday.) . PAM, Nov., It. —ELECTIONS OF, PARIS.—The victory gained to-day at Paris by the Constitutional 'Electors, will echo in France; Europe, and the two 'worlds. In all the Electoral Colleges, .without any , exception, the Ministry has suffered a complete de feat. In every direction the Constitutional Electors have obtained the nomination of those whom they had . previouSly, pointed out. All the Presidents, we are happy to state, acted with impartiality and honour ; - they have had the courage and loyalty to disobey the Ministerial instructions. Every elector was enabled, according to law, to vote secretly ; and no violence has been committed on his good sense or his conscience. Thus, Out of 7,500 votes, in the twenty-two sec tions of the Colleges of the Arrondissement of the Seine, the Constitutional electors have obtained 6,300. It will be the same every where, if the electors, recovered from the panic caused by a power expiring from shame and opprobrium, have courage to resume the independence of their rights, and their dignity as citizens. The Deputies proposed by the Electoral Arron. dissement of Paris are—M. Dupont, M. Jacques Lafitte, M. Cassimir Pericr, M. B. Constant, M. Ternaux, M. Royer-Collard, late Deputies; M. de Schonen, Counsellor of the Cour Royale, and M. Le Barpn Louis, formerly a Deput). Mr. BRODIE, the eminent surgeon, when opening the body of the late Earl of PEALBROEF, cut his finger with one of the instruments used on that occasion, and was ill several days afterwards, so mach so as to be incapable of attending to his patients. NEWPORT, Nov. l'7.—On the 19th ult. a Mrs. 8., a governess in the family of a clergyman near Longford, walked out, as she said, to pay a visit in the neighbourhood, and was accompanied by a Miss L., a young lady of. IS, with a respectable fortune. By the con trivanee of Mrs. 8., a chaise met thetn on the road, into which she and Miss L. entered, and drove off towards Dublin. At the first stage Mrs. B.'s son, a medical stir dent, was in waiting with a' chaise and four horses, in. which the trio drove previously to Mullingar, and, as it has since appeared, continued their route to England. Mr. B. and Miss 1.. have since been married. Mrs. B. had been highly reciammeuded to the clergyman as governess to his children, and confidence Was therefore placed. in her. Miss L. was an orphan and a minor, who requested the protec tion of the clergyman sad Y, treated with and was affection and kindness. The couple are now residing in i3ristol —ilumpshire Advertiser.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1827, The Government are still without intelligence from Cpnstantinople. An Express from Paris has arrived in the City this morning, by which we learn that a con siderable fall in the French Funds took place on Monday evening. The Three per Cents. had declined to 70f. 15c. in the afternoon, but we understand finally left off at 69f. 50c. This has been attributed to two causes—un favourable news from Constantinople, and the result of the Elections, which being more against Ministers than had been anticipated, will, it is supposed, probably lead to a change in the Ministry. Paris was illuminated on Monday evening, iu consequence of the success uf the liberal party in the Elections. It appears by the Gazette de France, which has reached us by this opportunity, that the King of FRANCE has conferred honours upon all the officers, British, French, and Russian, who shared in the glory of the battle of Navarin. The following arc extracts, by which it will also be seen that the intelligence from Constantinople comes•down no later than the 23d of October, up to which time the SULTAN continued reso lutely determined to resist : CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 23. It being known that orders have been sent to Ibrahim Pasha to repel fiwce by force, has caused great inquietude here. The Divan being put to the alternative, either to ac cept or refuse the pacification, has had frequent meetings. The Austrian -and Prussian Internuncios had a meet ing on the 18th of October, with the Reis Effendi, when they represented the danger to the Porte, but the Porte still resisted their advice. The King has appointed Count Admiral de Rigny to be Vice-Admiral ; Baron Millies, Captain, has been appointed Centre-Admiral, and the different Captains of vessels have all had the Legion of Honour. - ' Sir Edward Codrington, Vice Admiral in his Britannic Majesty's service, and Count Heyden, in the service of the Emperor of Russia, have been appointed Grand Crosses of the Royal and Military Order of St. Louis. Captain Fellowes has been invested with the Order of the Royal Legion of Honour, and all the other Captains in the Battle of Navarin, are invested with the Order of St. Louis. ANCONA, NOV. 3. Yesterday, at seven o'clock in the morning, entered- this port the English frigate Dartmouth, coming in 11 days from Navarin ; the Captain did not, as customary, salute on entering the port, his excuse was, that he had on board five dying men, and a number of wounded, the Delegate went on board the frigate to compliment Captain Fellowes ; the joy was inexpressible on the arrival of the frigate; the Delegate immediately dispatched a courier to Rome, and to the Chamber of Commerce at Genoa, and another to Leghorn. _ _ ( From the Augsburgh Gazette.) A vessel which left Zante on the 26th of October, an nounces that the fortress of Erivan has surrendered ; three thousand men prisoners. Scio is still blockaded. The Gazette of last night contains an Order in Council, directing that with the view of put ting an end to the depredations committed upon the commerce of his MAJESTY'S subjects in the When:mean, by armed vessels, cruizing under the Gttek flag, instructions be issued forthwith to his MAJESTY'S naval forces in the Mediter ranean, authorizing them to 'seize and send into some port belonging to (or being under the power and protection of) his MAJESTY, every armed vessel which they shall meet with at sea, under the Greek flag, or fitted out and armed at any Greek port, excepting such ships of war as are belong ing to or acting under the orders of the persons exercising the powers of Government in Greece ; and that the vessels so seized with their crews shall be detained until his MAJESTY'S further pleasure should be made known. The depredations on our trade which have been committed by the wretches who have dis graced th e G ree k nation and th e i r fl ag by th e i r atrocities, fully call for this measure, and we trust that a sufficient number of vessels of wu will he sent out to carry it into the fullest execu- t ion. The Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Gazette (le France dated Monday morning; arrived last night, but they do not curtain any intelligenct from the quarter from whence news is so anxiously looked for, and their general contents are unim portant. The Gazette de France, however, mentions a fact which would be important, if it could he considered as a prelude to the general withdrawal of the French troops from Peninsula. The King of FRANCE having learnt that, his CATHOLIC MAJESTY intended to go to Barce lona, and knowing that he had at his disposal a considerable corps .of Spanish troops, thought that he might wish to 'appear in that capital surrounded only by his own subjects. The Viscount de ST. PRIEST was therefore commissioned to propose to him, in the King's vrtme, to withdraw from Barcelona the French division which occupied it. His CATHOLIC MAJESTY having accepted this offer, the division has received ordereto return to France. The business'of the Election rapidly proceeds, and from present appearances it seems probable that the liberal party will gain considerable strength. In the Elections of the capital it will entirely triumph. The Royal Ordonnance for the re-establishment of the Censorship is pre pared, and it is said that it is to be promulgated on the 30th. Extracts of these Papers are given in another coltunn. The inferences drawn by our cotemporaries from the circumstance of Vice Admiral Sir JOHN GORE having proceeded overland with despatches to Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON, that further naval operations in the Mediterranean are in contemplation, or that he is to supercede Sir EDWARD in the command of the squadron, are altogether erroneous. Sir JOHN GORE'S mission is to obtain the further information and explana tions relative to the circumstances which brought on the action between the Allied squadrons and the Turkish fleet, which we stated yesterday his MAJEsTY's, Ministers would deem to be neces 7 sary. The Allgemeine Zeitung, and Frankfort Papers of the 14th inst., have been received this morning. They furnish no news, with the ex ception of a Report from Trieste that all, the Franks in Patras had been massacred. Wesubjoin extracts : TRIESTE, NOV. 6. A ship, which left Zante on the 26th Oct., brings a re port which, however, very much needs confirmation, that all the Franks at Patras had been massacred. Scio w still blockaded by the Greeks : the Pacha had caused the Bishop and the Primatei of the island to be arrested and confined as hostages. vIENNA, Nov. 9. The Austrian Observer of this day contains an extract of a letter from Ti ieste, dated Nov. 3, which gives some further particulars of the events at Navarin on the 20th and 21st. This letter gives first the statement of a Sardinian Captain (Bollo), who arrived at Zante on the 21st October, and the following report of Captain Newton, of the English ship the Thetis, who arrived at Trieste on the Qd of November, having left Navarin on the 21st Oct., in the afternoon . " On the 21st, in the morning, being .about two miles distant from Navarin, be saw in that harbour many ships of war, under the English, French, and Russian flags, and entered with his ship, in order to consult with the English Admiral whether it would be advisable to continue his voy age to Odessa, to which place lie was bound from Trieste. When he got on board the English Admiral's ship, he there found the Capitana Bey, Tahir Pacha, who, hostilities being just terminated, was conferring with the English Admiral. Ten or twelve of the Turkish men-of-war were still burning in the harbour. " An Officer of the Admiral's ship, who advised him not to go for the present to Odessa, but rather to return to Trieste, told him, that in the battle of the day before, 50 Men were killed on board the Admiral's ship ; and he (Captain Newton) saw that that ship had suffered severely. The French Admiral's ship had also been much injured. The Russian squadron had suffered the least. Twenty-five or thirty of the Turkish ships were blown up. With re spect to the origin of the hostilities, the English Officer, in a few words, gave him the following account :—After that Ibrahim Pacha, notwithstanding the Convention con cluded on the 25th of last month, had left the harbour of Navarin at the beginning of this month, with the greater part of his fleet, to proceed to Patras, the Admirals of the Combined Squadrons, after the return of the Turkish fleet to Navarin, tiad resolved to enter that harbour, in order, as he had heard, to be there able, secure from the stormy weather in the open sea, to observe the Ottoman fleet, in the harbour itself, or to oblige it to return to Alexandria and Constantinople. The Turks opposed this, and fired on the ships as they entered, and thus originated the battle, the results of which be now saw. As the weather began to be boisterous while he (Capt. Newton) ' was on board the Admiral's ship, he returned on board his own vessel, and immediately sailed to Zante; and haring stopped there two days, during which time he heard nothing further, he continued his voyage to this city (Trieste)."

The French paper, the Journal de Frankfort, contains at full length, from the Florence Gazette, the report of the battle of Navarin, addressed by Admiral Codrington to Lord Burghers!), to which it adds the following observa tions On reading attentively the reports of the French and English Admirals, it seems that they endeavour to excuse a measure, which' will appear extreme to every person who does not judge according to his own wishes. Shall we say on this occasion, qui s'excuse s'accuse." VIENNA, NOV. 5. The Agram Gazette gives an account of a visit of the Arch-Duke Palatine, to the military frontier of Croatia. On arriving at Gavranichrenka, accompanied by General Radwojevies, Achmet Kapedji Pacha, the Turkish Go vernor of Behats, with a numerous suite richly attired, appeared to compliment his Imperial Highness. Having been presented to him, and saluted him in the Turkish fashion, he said that he considered this as the• most for tunate day of his life, as it procured him the pleasure of becoming personally acquainted with the august brother of the great Austrian Emperor, who had for so many years been on terms of friendship and good neighbourhood with his Sovereign. After answering, with great respect, all the questions addressed to him, he requested to be allowed to offer a present to his Royal Highness, according to the custom of the country, adding, however, that he was not prepared to make a suitable present to his Imperial High ness, and must, therefore, beg him to consider, not the value of the offering, but the good will. And being assured that any present would be ag reeable to his Imperial Highness, he ordered his people to bring a Turkish stallion, and also to present some silver and gilt goblets, and two Turkish shawls, for the Areh•Duchess. On which his Imperial Highness caused the Paella's people to be hand- _ *may recompensed, and intimated to Achmet Pacha, that he should send him a present in return from Ofen. MUNICH, Nov. S . It is believed that the number of students in our University, which exceeded 1,600 in the last half-year, will amount in this half-year to 2,000 and more, among whoa► there are in particular many North Germans, who leave Gottingen.. The Austrian Observer of the 9th inst. has also been received this morning. It is barren of news. VIENNA, NOV. 8 The celebrated place of pilgrimage, Maria-Zell (with the exception of a few detached houses), was totally destroyed by fire in the night of the Ist of this month. A furious storm raging at the time, spread the flames with a rapidity which baffled every attempt to extinguish them, or even to save any of the effects of the unfortunate inhahitauts. One hundred and forty houses, the beautiful Church, the Con vent, and the Post-office, are reduced to ashes. The number of persons who have lost their lives is uncertain ; hut it is known that two families, consisting of 11 persons, perished in the flames. The Gratz Journctl of the sth says, it is fcm•ed that many children, old people, and sick persons, had lost their lives. The image of the Virgin was saved. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, ac companied by the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, left their seat in Bushy-park yesterday morning, and proceeded to their residence in the Admiralty. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER paid a visit to the Princess, AUGUSTA, at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Duchess of Cr.aILENCF, accompanied by the Princess Casmoirft, visited the Princess Sorma. at her apartments in the King's Palace at Ken sington, and afterwards visited the Duchess of KENT, with whom her Royal Highness remained the whole of the af ternoon. • The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, and the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, returned to Bushy-park soon after five o'clock in the afternoon. Vice-Admiral Sir JOHN GORE, K.C.B. was sent off yesterday morning with despatches from his Royal Highness the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL to Sir E. CoDRINO . TON. —Sir Jour( left the Admiralty in a post-chaise and four shortly before 12 o'clodr, accompanied by Captain Co- DRINGTON (son of Sir E. CODRINGTON), for Dover, from whence it is expected Sir Jonx.will cross the Channel to Calais, proceed across the Continent to Italy, and thence to Malta. Viscount GODERICII and the Right Hon. Was. Husxissox visited his Royal Highness the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL yesterday at the Admiralty. The Duchess of KENT has been indisposed for some days past with a cold, but is now, we are happy to state, quite recovered. Dr. MaroN has attended her Royal Highness. The Lords of His MAJESTY'S Most Honour able Privy Council had a meeting yesterday morning at eleven o'clock at the Council-office, which was attended by Lord Bax Lay, the Right Hons. STUMM BOURNE, C. WYNN, WILMOT HORTON, Huai{ ELLIOT, and Sir JAMFS MaciciwroNm. (Sir JAMES took his seat as one of the Lords of the Council, for the first time). The case which came before their Lordships was an appeal from the mer chants and planters of the Islands of Berbice and Demerara, against an ordinance of the House of Assembly of those islands; for carrying into effect the enactments of the Order in Council for the manumission of slaves. Mr. Sergeant Ant at was heard by their Lordships in support of the ap peal, and Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET and the Common Sergeant were heard in support of the order. The Colo nial Secretary to the island of Demerara, and a number of other witnesses, were examined before their Lordships, who all agreed in their evidence as to the impracticability of enforcing the enactments of the British Legislature.— Their Lordships adjourned the meeting at four o'clock in the afternoon, till eleven o'clock, this day. A • deputation from the Canada Company waited on Mr. HUSKISSON yesterday, at the Colonial Officip„ Downing-street, and had an interview with the Right Hon. Gentleman. Prince ESTEIMAU, the Austrian Ambassa dor; Prince Ltir.vrx, the Russian Ambassador ; the Marquis DE PALMELIA, the Portvguese Ambassador, and M.,Rom, the French Charge d'Affaires, transacted business with Earl DUDLEY yesterday at the Foreign Office, Down ing-street. • . The Marquis of LAN S DowNE visited Viscount GODERICII yesterday, at his residence in Downing-street. EXTRACT OF A FRENCH LETTER :—" The French Officers with whom we have conversed express much delight at. the encomiums passed . on Admiral In MGM' and his squadron by the British Commander. Much surprise is manifested that the Russians have been taken such little notice of ; and some persons infer, wrongly we think, that their co-operation was not of that frank kind shOwn by the other two nations." When DIEGO DE ToRREs, the Spanish Ambassador, in 1547, first dined with the Emperor of Morocco at his Court, he was amused by the customs of the table : neither knives, forks, nor spoons, were provided ; but each person helped himself with his fingers, and cleaned his hands with his tongue, excepting the Emperor, who wiped the hand he took his meat up with on the head of a black. boy, 10 years old, who stood by his side. The Ambassador smilt,4, and the Emperor observing it, asked whaeChristian Kings wiled their hands with at meals, and what such things were worth ? " Fine napkins," replied the Ambassador ; " a clean one at every meal, worth a crown a piece, or more." " Don't you think this napkin rnucl► better," said the Emperor, wiping his hand again on the black boy's head, " which is worth 70 or 80 clowns ?" INQUEST ON NOBODY.--We mentioned in a late Fublication, that a man named WMANus had fallen out sti l e m et h H ad os r p e i c t e a i l v . ed, H be e was of the back window of a.bonse in Essex-street, and that in obliged consequence e t n o c b e e a r hi:ovsevereJervis-sheet injuries ervs s. ex pired in this Hospital last week, and his body was interred without inquest. The Groner• having received informa tion of the circumstance, repaired to the Hospital-fields on Sunday last, and having sum►noned a Jury proceeded to have the body disinterred, when it was discovered that the resurrection-men had been before-hand with the officer of the law, and that although the coffin was there, the body was non est.,--Dublin Warder. On Monday the funeral of Mr. SALE took place at St. Paul's ; it was mimerously and respectably at tended by the many friends and admirers whose esteem he had the happiness to conciliate through a life of unimpeach able integrity. Mr. SALE was a musician of great cele brity; he belonged to the old school, and was either apupil of HANDEL, or cultivated the acquaintance of that eminent musician, of whom he was a decided admirer. Mr. SALE was a member of five choirs, viz. Windsor, Eton, Chapel Royal, St-'Paul's, and Westminster. The two former he relinquished in 1796, and in 1818 he became Senior Gen tleman (or Father) of his Majesty's Chapel Royal.__ At the time of his death (in his 69th year) he was Vicar-Choral of Saint Paul's and Westminster. He en joyed the patronage of the late Krieu, as well as of his present MAJESTY, and of most of the members of the Royal Family. He was, besides, Secretary to the Noblemen's " Catch Club," and Conductor of the " Glee Club." He was the author of several musical compositions, which were very popular and successful. His funeral on Monday was attended by the members of the several choirs, of which be had been for so long a time a distinguished member. The boys from the Chapel Royal attended, and walked in procession with the choristers of St. Paul's and the other musical bodies which attended the funeral yesterday. A little after three o'clock the body of the lamented gentleman entered the church. It was received at the grand western entrance by Mr. Huctres (who read the funeral service) and several of the minor Canons. The procession of the mourners and friends of Mr. SALE was then formed, and moved along the ails till it reached the interior of the chapel. GREEN'S funeral anthem was performed. The grand, and impOsing effect which its per formance produced may be supposed from the effective union of the combined talents of the choristers, who assembled from the several chapels to pay their last tribute of regard to their long-respected brother. Mr. ATTIVOOD presided at the organ ; Mr. SALMON, from Windsor, contributed his effective aid. Several eminent musicians (friends of the deceased) also lent their co-Aeration to augment the grand swelling sentiments of religious solemnity and awe which the deep notes of the funeral anthem so • irresistibly inspire. As soon as' the anthem and funeral service were over, the interment took place in the capacious cemetery under the chapel. The ails and choir of the church were crowded to excess. Besides the numerous friends of the deceased who attended the funeral, a large portion of the public 'awaited the arrival of the corpse, in expectation of the performance of the anthem-4n expecta tion which its splendid performance fully gratified. It was dark before the mourners retired, and the ceremony was completed. It was altogether a scene of very imposing solemnity, and deserves to be recorded a a creditable tri bute of the musical profession to a gentleman who, by them and by the public, had been long and deservedly esteemed.

The arrival of several expresses early in the day has caused considerable agitation in the English Funds, particularly as the first impression was that the excitement was occasioned by unfaVourable news from Constantinople; the fact is, that the French Funds came over considerably lower, the 3 per Cents. being reported to have been at one time 69f. 50c., but are quoted at 70f. 15c.; this, however, is not the result of any political news, but has its origin in the issue of the elections, which have gone against the Ministers in several instances, and given some reason to believe the French Government have undertaken a hazardous experiment in dissolving the Chambers for the purpose of procuring a more pliant set of Members. Consols opened at 851, having closed yesterday at 8.5 k; the market became imme diately after very feverish, and fell rapidly to 81i, at which there was considerable business done; as soon, however, as the cause for the French Funds coming over lower was ascertained, the market became some what better and they got up to 84- 5, are now-841 for money' and account, and 841 5 for January. No alteration has taken place in Exchequer Bills or India Bonds, the former - being 54 6, and the latter 86 8 pm. The Foreign Funds have been all alive this morn ing, and Mexican and Colombian are toth higher, the former being 51; in the latter a mare consi derable improvement has taken place, to 30 2. This rise is stated to have been caused by the extraor dinary advance of 11 per, cent. on Peruvian Stock, which has been as high as 42, but gone back to 36i 7. There is a report circulated that a loan is in negotiation at Paris, for the payment of the 'divi dends due on the Bonds; but for the truth of which we confess we are wanting in belief. Chilian Bonds have also felt the benefit of the advance in Peruvian, and are 30 5. The Share Market has no material alteration, either in business or prices. Three per Cent.

The French Expresses state, that the success which had attended the electiOns of the Liberal party had been celebrated on Monday evening, at Paris, by an illumination. 'lt appears that the op position is strong to .VILLELE ; and his opponents are not only active, but have hitherto beat their opponents generally.

A letter, received this morning from Ports mouth, contains the following particulars on this subject : " A general expectation is entertained that a considerable reduction will take place in the public establishments here at the beginning of the year, both in the offices and in the salaries of those that are to remain ; that 25 per cent. is to be reduced from all salaries above 2001. a-year. It is most surprising, and not less disgraceful, that the Go vernment will niggle, week after week, by official letters, about the reduction of some poor hapless clerk, whose sa lary, if his services could be dispensed with, is not worth a moment's consideration, whilst 'the salaries of all the heads of departments are untouched, and many of situations ar e little better than sinecures. What do we want with a Governor and Lieutenant-Governor of a Naval College, eating up the best part of 2,000/. a year ? A great source of saving might be discovered i the wasteful expenditure of ships' stores, the misapp ro p r Ltion of tim ber, the orders and counter orders of alterations in ships, whether to be commissioned, docked, or broke up. Those who work in the dock-yards know how to apply these remarks."-- Times. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 19.—There has beeu a fair demand for Cotton to-day, and the sales amount to 2,500 bags, of which 1,000 have been taken by speculators at the quotations of Saturday's report. DIRT FAIR.—Our annual November fair, which bears the above title, and which has not this year lost its charter, was held on Saturday, when there was a very moderate display of every description of cattle, and prices, for the most part, were very low. The number of shows for the recreation of the juvenile visitors of the fair, was much greater than usual, and comprised exhibitions of a great variety of extraordinary individuals, :at, lean, short, tall, black and white, amongst which were two living sheletons. The fair was Continued yesterday, and was very throngly attended.—Manchsater Mercury. DAY AT ONE o'cLocx. South Sea Stock Old Annuities New Ditto Ex. Bills, £l,OOO 2d. 54 53 pm.
