TURKEY. We extract the following article, containing an outline of the Torl:islt Government, from the Quntidienne Past_;, OCT. 30.—At the present moment, when important diplomatic negotiations attract the atten tion of Europe on the Ottoman Empire, it may not .be uninteresting to give an outline of the interior Organization of that Government, about which such exaggerated ideas have been given. In general, flays a. Greek historia n , w ho wrote in 1 7 57, the Chris tian historiographers give two portraits of the Otto man empire—the aspect of the one is frightful—that of the other is brilliant and magnificent. One would say that they write the history of two different nations. The first is owing to the high colouring of the pencil, which was guided by a system gene rally received in civilized Europe, and whose dark tints were derived from the difference of manners and religion. The colour of the second is obtained through the prism of truth. The Turkish Government rests on only one foun dation—that of, religion. The whole system, poli tical and civil, has this for its .origin._ a The duties of the citizens take their rise -from.this , as well as the. .constitution of the state, and , the.rights of the dy nasty. The Sultans are the image of the Divinity. As Commanders of the Believers, God makes use of them to reward Mussulmans, and punish infidel Kings and nations. Whatever may be the charac ter Of the Sultan, he is the sent of God, and conse quently is inviolable. His orders are considered as emanations of the Divinity, unless they are opposed to the precepts of the Koran. This exception ac counts for almost all the enthronements of the Chiefs o Islamism. The Princes who have been sacrificed have almost all been victims of disobedience to the laws of this sacred volume. The Mufti and the Lawyers pronounced—the Janissaries did the rest before they were destroyed. The successor of the Sultan is always Chosen froM the Imperial Dynasty. The Council of Supreme Functionaries is compo sed in the following manner:— The .Sultan; the - .Grand Vizir, the Mufti, the Calinacan (Governor. of Constantinople), the two Kadileskers (or Chiefs of the Cadis), the ReitEffendi • (Minister of Foreign Affairs)s the Aga of the Janis saries, the Aga of the Spahis, the Capitan Pacha (High Admiral.) These compose the Divan, toge ther with the six Vizirs of the Benches, Pachas with two tails, and all the Pachas who may happen to be •at Constantinople. The Divan assembles as a Council of State, and sometimes as a Supreme Court. In the first case it discusses the interests of the empire, peace, war, diplomaticsrelations, , plans of internal improvement, and answers petitions. When the Council sits as a Supreme Court it decides appeals; civil as Well as criminal. The Di van also gives judgment respecting complaints beought against the Ministers, the Pachas, and the Grand Dignitaries, whether of the empire at large or'of t he Seraglio, and against those even who form the Divan. The accused members cannot sit in judgment when these accusation are. under conside ration. The Grand Vizier presides, and in his ab sence the Mufti. The Grand _Seignior has no visible influence there. He hasaot even a vote s al though he it almost alWays present at their sittings; kut he remains, in .a ; weal s te which,he :comes from ins apartnients, where he- can see and hear all, but remains hiniself cOndealed . . - The , ,Ministers and Councillors niustapealsinanttudible voice, so as to be heard by their Master, in order that he may judge of the zeal of each: • • • The finances of theState,:though in general well : ; managed in Turkeysaire notsriPh• The regular im posts are extremely. moderate-; ; The first is raised from the custom-houses on the frontiers and at the ports. The second is raised from all the lands, with out distinction, situate -in the dominions of the Grand Seignior—in 'those of the Mosques and the fiefs. The imposts - nre'fixed by a uniform tariff for each Government or pakati. The third is a capita= tion tax, levied from the Giuours—that is to say, infidels,' Austrians, Jews, Armenians, and others. Catholics pay more than Greek Christians. The fourth impost is en provisions, &c. which pass from one- place' to another. Sometimes, however, the Sultan imposes particular duties, or allows severe exactions from the, people. In this way Mahorned,l the present Sultan, hasissueda decree; ordering his subjects to carry to thelaintsthe veisels of gold and silver, And receive in tetnrn 'coin,. inwhielShe wished to increase the nominal value. This Firman has not been carried into effect, because the Turks showed great opposition to it. The Treasury of the Sultan is distinct from that of the State, and is under an ad ministration of its °Wis. As every thing in the Government takes its rise from religion, it is decreed that every Mussulman must fight against infidels, when the empire is me naced ; and unless lie obeys, lie shall he deprived, not only of the joys promised to those who die for the' faith, but shall incur eternal damnation. It is easy to imagine - what force such ideas must give to a government! The militia, properly so called, of the Turks, does not present an imposing a ppearance—they are of two sorts, the one derives their subsistence from certain lands granted by the State, the others are paid in money. The lands granted to the soldiers are called Timariots, orimilitary fiefs; and according to their tenure they are obliged to defend the Ottoman Empire. They are divided into companies called ortas, like those of the Janissaries, and are under the command of the Governors of the provinces who are obliged to march at their head in case of war. The -Pitches assemble the possessors of these fiefs, and conduct them to the rendezvous assigned by the Seraskier-Pacha: The number of fiefs amount to .385,000. They are obliged W furnish each a man and a 'horse. The second corps or regular troops was composed formerly Of the famous Janissaries. Thev amounted formerly to 40,000 men. Besides these there are 12,000 spaiiii, or cavalry ; 5,000 topgis, or artillery men ; and in ease of war, 5,000 sailors. These troops are now replaced by the re gular militia, disciplined according to the Europeaa tactics. They probably amount to about 50,000 men. The total amount of the forces which the Ottoman can raise has been frequently calculated. It amounts to 712,000 men, of whom only 62,009 receive regular pay. The 10,000 which Moldavia affil Walachia are bound to furnish, are not included in this calculation, nor the auxiliary Tartars which the Sultan can-summon to arms. When the empire is menaced, every Mussulman _must bear arms, and it is prescribed, • that a Turk ought to kill, at least, three Infidels. • On the other hand, the Divan ordinarily condemns to death the General who loses.a battle, and, at least, he k dismissed and banished. , The Turkish army forms three encampments in the European! manner. The Tartar auxiliary ea ..l valry ranges themselves in two lines around the camp. Behind them are ranged the Tintarioto or possessors of Fiefs , with some field- p ieces,. and last a line of. infantry. The chief camp is in the form of a square. Each Paella assembles there his dieis sion, in the middle of which is the tent of the Se raskier, or the General-in-Chief. The Mussulman army was formerly highly distin guished, but is now much degenerated. The Turks are no longer the formidable people who conquered a part of Europe. For the last century this.empire has been eaing gradually to decay. Without doubt a last effort will be made on the present occasion. It may be violent, desperate; but the formidable armies of.ltussia are encamped on the frontier. Ha bituated to ail the tactics of Europe, they may soon be' thie-to scatter, these , armies of the East, where fanaticism unites for a moment under the standard of the Prophet., However, such an event could • not happen without awaking all the rivalry and jea . lodsy of the other European Powers. It has been said that the. Turks would embarrass a good deal the other Cahinets if they were to abandon Con stantinople and, thei r , It may be conceived possessions in Europe. ..that,Xhisse embarrassments Would increased if Battik wished to increa se her terri tory at the expence asm . the Ott en Porte, and platit her eagles On the minarets of the ancient city of Constantinople. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. From the Gazette de France, dated Thursday, Oct. 1.) CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 8.--The day before yesterday the Divan met, and the deliberations lasted above two hours. The Reis Effendi, who is still indisposed, was present at it ; at the end of the sitting the Reis Effendi is said to have had a con ference with the dragoman of the Inte►nuncio, and it has been reported that the Porte desires to come to an understanding with the mediating Powers. The Ambassadors of France and England have sent couriers to their warts. The Sultan now shows himself to the people much less frequently than he used to do, and appears to have confided to Commissioners the superintendence of the works at the arsenal, and the fortifications of the Bosphorus, which he no longer directs in person. Neither does he review the new troops so frequently ; arid his ardour for the new institutions appears to be diminished.—Angsbuigh Gazette. PARIS, OCT. sl .—Letters from Toulouse of the 94th say that several insurgents, among whom was Savalle, Chief of one of the bands which blockaded Gerona, have presented themselves to the Spanish Government of Figueiras, soliciting their pardon, and have been kept ever since the 18th of October in the prison of that town. The Count d'Espagne is at Llado, two leagues from Figueiras, and causes the rebels to be pursued in all directions.— On the 18th he required from the Governor of Fi gueiras 4,000 rations of bread, and as many the fol lowing day. On the 19th, he sent 50 horse to Cas tillo (re Anpurices, where the rebel Chief Oriol was posted; some hours after, a column of infantry took the same direction, and, towards the evening, the band' of Oriol was attacked, and the greater part killed or dispersed. About five o'clock in the morning an inspector in the service of the Duke of Orleans perceived that the gallery behind the Theatre Francais was on fire. The alarm was immediately given, and the prompt est measures being taken, the progress of the flames was soon checked, and at half-past six the danger was past. The fire stopped at the extremity of the gallery. All the magazines between the passage of the theatre and the wicket of the glazed gallery were destroyed. The book-warehouse of M. Daultiereau was entirely burnt ; that of M. Barba escaped by a miracle. On the whole, a great deal of damage has been done. (From the Journal des Debuts of Wednesday.) PETERS/311161f, OCT. 12.—Particular details of the proceedings in Georgia have been received.— General Paskewitch, who is employed on the right hank of the Araxis, was obliged to form a moveable column on the line of communication, in order to secure the transport of provisions. The Persian army has most excellent partisans, who are as useful as the Cossacks. Abbas Mirza lately made .an ex cursion with his light cavalry on the lines of commu nication of General Krassowsky, and the latter was so much alarmed, that he (irked the position of Etchnnadzine, and sought for reinforcements. Gene ral Constantine Benkendorf will command the moveable column, which will consist of 8,000 infan try, 2.000 cavalry, and some light artillery. The fall of Erivan will be the surest means of opening negociations, for it is the only strong hold of the Persians. It is, however, doubtful whether the Russian General-in-Chief, notwithstanding all his great preparations, will be able to bring about the capitulation of this place in the present year. The bad weather is now coming on, and it will be diffi cult to cut trenches. It will be necessary to wait for the spring. EXTRACT FROM THE CORREsPONDEXCF OF 14. GOSSE WITH M. EYI.TARD, RELATIVF. TO TIM AFFAIRS OF GREECE, DATED LAUSANNE, OCT. 26. " I have to inform you of the safe arrival of the vessel freighted with rockets, coal, and powder, with an artificer of fireworks, and also considerable remit tances made by the Committee of Subsistence.— These have come in very good time. These muni tions, which we wanted, will prove very useful, and will make up for the weakness of our marine. " Notwithstanding the innumerable difficulties against which Lord 'Cochrane has had incessantly to struggle, he has succeeded in equipping a new expe dition of 20 vessels, besides the frigate, the brig le Saut'eur, and three gun-boats, all national vessels. Ln this fleet are embarked some of the bravest of the Greek Naval Captains. Lord Cochrane has directed his force towards the Albanian coast, where he has issued the following proclamation : " People of Albania—Too long have you groaned beneath the sceptre of the Mussulman—too long has your love of liberty been chained down by a dark and cruel despotism. The hour of your deliverance is not far off. It depends on yourselves to hasten it. Europe takes a lively interest in your fate; your fellow-countrymen are flyii,g to your assistance ; but this interest attaches to the energy you have die; played, to the noble courage by which you have been always distinguished ; and the succours which we offer you, in order to be effective, require on your part redoubled patriotism and zeal in this deci sive moment. Brave Albanians, the future welfare of your country, the repose of your families, the'ho nour of your religion, are in your hands. An active and continued co-operation can alone, we repeat, se cure your existence and our success. s ' e ; ; A : d l m 7 i . ral COCHRANE," " On board the Hellas, Operations have commenced, and the Greek ships will not proceed to Dragomestret, Lord Cochrane being unwilling to risk a direct attack on the great force of the enemy, but he will endeavour to sur prise them in detail. After having made this im portant diversion in Albania, he will occupy the Islands and Eastern Greece. We expect, with the utmost impatience, the ar rival of Count Capo d'lstria; his presence, some money, and a small corps of disciplined troops, are of urgent necessity. The above news was written on board the Ijellas, on the 18th of September. Some days after, M. Gosse writes from Corfu roads— " I have just had a conversation with Count \lad Capo d'lstria, brother of our expected President. His countrymen and himself have made an effort for Greece, and he will remit some fund s for the Com mittee of the Government. The Greeks have for warded provisions for the troops which have entered Albania. I believe that there will soon be a rising in that country, because the Seraskier has demanded the delivery pf arms and hostages, which must hasten the insurrection of tha inhabitants. " I this moment learn that the Greeks of Chio, desirous of rescuing their ishind from the Ottoman yoke, have engaged the brave Fabvier to repair thither with a regular corps of 800 men. They have opened a subscription, which )las produced 12,000 piastres. I hope that this expedition will succeed. We will endeavour to support them with the fleet." (From the Constitutionnel.) TglgsTE, OCT. 19.—A letter from Zante, of Oc tober 6, contains the following - intelligence : " On the 3d of this month, at day-break, a part of the Turkish fleet appeared in sight from our port; and as the English Rear-Admiral Codrington was ' at this moment in our roads with a ship of the line, a galliot, and a brig, he stood out towards the Turks, to prevent them from entering the Gulf of Patras. It is proper to remark that the night between the 2d and the 3d was very dark and stormy. In this state of the weather the commander of the Turkish fleet passed in front of Zante with part of his ves sels, while the rest, to the number of 60 sail, en tered the channel. On the orders of the English Admiral the 60 sail tacked about. The wind shifted about one o'clock, and these vessels, perceiving their Admiral, with 20 sail, entering Cephalonia and Zante, resolved to follow him. The junction took place about four o'clock, while the English were still in the midst of the Turks. The Turkish Admiral then declared to the English that he w4s bound to Patras; and that, in pursuance of the of ders of his Sovereign, he must continue his course. The English put back into the roads, but next day, the 4th, they sailed again in pursuit of the Turks. From the telegraph, we saw that the English ships fired, but none of the Turks returned the tire. This scene lasted three quarters of an hour. We do not yet know the result." Another letter from Zatate, of the 6th, confirms what is above stated, and adds, that the division, consisting of 60 sail, entered the Gulf of Patras, while that consisting of 20 sail was engaged with the English. It appears, that in consequence of the convention of the 25th of September, the force of the allied fleets before Navarino had ,been greatly reduced. Admiral Codrington had sent the Genoa and the Albion of the line, and the Cambrian and Serin gapatam frigates, to Malta to be repaired. Admiral de Rigny had sailed for Milo, and the Russian fleet. was not then arrived. We are assured that contrary winds had obliged the Russians to anchor at Messina. BARCELONA, Ot:T. 20.—Romagosa, who escaped by a kind of miracle from the hands of the insur gents when they were going to shoot him, arrived on the 16th at Mataro, and as he was Governor of that place, proceeded to resume his functions. Next day, however, the people, who dislike his duplicity, assembled to express their disapprobation, to the number of 10,000 persons. His life was then in greater danger than when he was among the insur gents, and he owed his safety to General Breton, the Governor ad interim, who is very popular. Romagosa escaped from the town in the disguise of a peasant, and proceeded to Barcelona. (From the Constitutionnel of Wednesday.) TRIESTE, OCT. 19.—The execution of the Con vention of the 6th July, which can no longer be doubted, after what has taken place at Navarino, roust speedily set at rest every doubt entertained re specting the future. If the Divan, when it shall be acquainted with the Armistice concluded with the Egyptian fleet, still conducts itself 'with moderation, the problem is solved, and the impbtence of the Otto man Government becomes visible ; protestations and manifestos will be useless. It is thought that by the 10th of this month the Armistice for twenty days, concluded between Ibrahim and Admiral Codrington, will be known at Constantinople, and, as it appears certain that Ibrahim received orders for the Egyptian fleet to sail some days after its arrival, for the purpose of ascertaining, in a positive manner, the intentions of the allied squadrons, of which the Divan seemed to entertain doubts, it will soon he seen whether the Porte will oppose by arms the execution of the Treaty of the 6th July. All eyes are at present turned towards Constan tinople; and as our letters from that. city announce that the Porte is rather disposed to make concessions, we firmly believe that the Divan, feeling its weak ness, will terminate, by yielding every thing. The submission of certain Greek Captains, collected by the Patriach, are symptoms of a desire to restore Greece, except the Morea, to its ancient condition; but that they have given up the Morea and the islands, from whence it would have been as easy to have had petitions of a similar nature, through the interference of Ibrahim Pacha. It is under this point of view that we should consider the conces sions made by the Porte ; from which we conclude that the execution of the convention will not expe rience any serious resistance. The opposition shown by the Sultan up to this period is very natural. The most important considerations should induce him to resist to the last. The opinions of his people and his religion imposed this on him as a duty, when he perceived that it was intended to violate the in tegrity of his territory. (From the Journal des Debars of Tuesday.) BARCELONA, OCT. 20.—General Romagosa, who, on the eve of being shot, succeeded in making his escape from the village of Biisi, with several other officers, for whom Jeps and Carajal had destined the same fate, arrived on the 17th at the town of Ma taro, of which he is Governor; but he was near be -coming the victim of a popular commotion there on the following day. Scarcely was his arrival at Mataro known when a great fermentation was visible in the town, and on the evening of the 18th, an immense crowd, of people assembled at his dwelling with the most menacing intentions. He could not have escaped the fate which was designed for him, but through the exertions of the Governor ad interim, Mr: Ilarton, who enabled him to 'escape. He arrived this day at Baccelona. A column of 4,000 insurgents, commanded by Carajal, presented itself before Olot, levying contri butions of provisions and forage, but without exer cising any violence towards the inhabitants, who submitted. Their administrative operations were conducted with the most perfect order. Arrests continue at Vich. A letter which came to-day, assures us that the Bishop has been obliged to confine himself to his apartments; but this letter relates a fact which shows more and more the charac ter of the insurrection of Catalonia. It is said, that the Count D'Espagne has discovered at Vich a great quantity of stamped paper, for the year 1828, on which, instead of Ferdinand the Seventh, the name of Chai les the Fifth, is impressed. M. Ruiz, Intendant of the Police, of the Royal residence, whenever the Court is held out of Madrid, has just arrived at Tarragona. As this functionary has been summoned by the. King himself, and as he is the intimate friend of M. Recacho, people appear convinced that his presence at Tarragona may strike a decisive blow against the warring influence of M. Calomarde, and increase the regret which the King constantly expresses for having destroyed the office of the general direction of the Police. Letters from Tarragona, announce that all there is tranquil, and that King Ferdinand is about to set out immediately to meet the Queen. There has been some movement at Valencia, but the factious were worsted. One of their chiefs has published a Proclamation, in which, as Ballester has also done at Girona, he complains of Calomarde, and the su perior Clergy, who, after having put arms in their hands, now leave them without assistance. The Spaniards, who came from Tarragona, are all unanimous in boasting of the affable manners of their Sovereign ; he receives and dispatches with prompti tude the petitions which are presented to him. They add, that the presence of his Majesty will be far from extinguishing the rebellion, for already a crowd of the pardoned officers have taken their route for Cerdagne, the focus of the rebellion. THURLES CATHOLIC NJ EETING.-A most numerous and respectable Meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of Thurles, took place in the Chapel of that town, on Sunday the 28th inst., pursuant to a requisition for that. purpose, to petition Parliament for a redress of the grievances which affect the Catholic body ; and to insti tuteoS7 the collection of t he New Catholic Rent, in that parish.— Tipperary Free Press .

The latter con tains an article taken from the Ang.sburgh Ga zette, dated Constantinople, the Bth ult., which states that on the 6th the Divan met and con tinued in deliberation above two hours. The REIS EFFENDI, though still ill, was pre sent, and at the end of the sitting had a con ference with the Dragoman of the Austrian Internuncio, from which a report had arisen that the PORTE desired to come to an understanding with the mediating Powers. It is added, that the Ambassadors of France and England had sent Couriers to their Courts, but this probably re fers to the preceding day, which was the date of the last dispatches received by our Government from Nlr. STRATFORD CANNING. The same article from the Augsburgh Gazette states that" the SULTAN shows himself to the people much less frequently than he used to do. and has confided to Commissioners the superin tendence of the works at the Arsenal, and the fortifications of the Bosphorus, which he no longer directs in person ; neither does he review the new troops so frequently,_ and his ardour for the new institutions appears to be diminished: , The inference from this, if true, would be that the PORTE finds itself in a situation to be obliged to submit, and that the SULTAN from alarm of the consequences of his doing so, or from mortification at being obliged to change the haughty tone he has hitherto used, remains in the recesses of his Seraglio. The whole statement, howevcr, is at variance with the information which reaches us from Constantinople by every other channel ; and, like many other pieces of in telligence contained in the Augsburgh Gazette, has probably been manufactured by the Editor. The same paper contains an account from Trieste of the affair between Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON'S squadron and the Egyptian fleet, which contains nothing new, excepting the assertion that sixty sail of vessels succeeded in getting into the Gulf of Patras, and that the Admiral had sent the Albion and Genoa, of the line, and the Cambrian and Seringapatam, to Malta, to be repaired. Dissensions amongst the creek chiefs are stated to exist. COLOCOTRONI is intriguing to get himself placed at the head of the new Com mission, and a want of unanimity seems to pre vail throughout Greece. Lord COCHRANEhas collected a fleet of twenty sail, anti has directed his force towards the coast of Albania, to the inhabitants of which he has addressed a proclaim :ion, recommending active and continued co- operation. The accounts from Spain, in the Moniteur and Gazette de France, represent the success of FERDINAND in suppressing the insurrection as complete,. while other journals still describe hard fought conflicts with various success to be going The French Funds are rather lower. We sub join their price, on the 31st, and extracts of the Papers will be found in another column.

They contain no political intel ligence, but give at full length the petition of the Greek Capitani, addressed to their Patriarch at Constantinople, and by hint presented to the FORTE. We copy this article, as being a curi ous combination of pretended religious devotion and servile submission for political objects : VIENNA, OCT. 19. The following is the petition of the Greek Capitani of the five provinces of Tricela, Janina, Acarnania, Lepanto, and Negropont, addressed to the Greek Patriarch, at Con stantinople. " We, the undersigned, Capitani of the five districts of Tricela, Janina, Acarnania, Lepanto, and Negropont, throw ourselves at the feet of your Holiness, respectful kiss your hands, and most humbly represent— " Though our illustrious Government has at all times taken measures calculated to protect those countries against robbers and other vagabonds, and has appointed for that purpose officers with the rank of Commanders of the defiles, it has nevertheless been seen, that it was difficult to pr serve perfect security. in inaccessible places covered wi 14 forests, and the impossibility of extirpating the robb without the assistance of the inhabitants of the count ', who are &Tainted with their lurking places, fison which 4 they occasionally sally forth to render the roads unsafe by their acts of robbery and murder. These circumstances have induced the Ottoman Porte to sanction a custom which has existed from time immemorial, and which is well calculate& to afford the country per fect security, viz• to appoint in all these districts, Greek Capitani, who are charged to watch over the public safety, and even to be assisted by several of their own nation, the number of whom was fixed as circum stances required, and according to the extent of district. These Capitani, whose dignity was hereditary in their fa milies, had always remained faithful to their duty, when in 1821, God, to punish us for our many sins, allowed the pestilence of the revolution which had infected 'several Christian nations, to be communicated to us ; it sur prised us like a poisoned arrow, and seduced our minds in such a manner, that we presumed in our infatuation 'to transgress the bounds of our condition as faithful subjects, and to act like ingrates, and rebels to our common benefactor, our most gracious monarch ; and at the same time as obstinate transgressors of the ordinances and wholesome admonitions of your Holi ness. But scarcely had a year elapsed, when the most lively repentance recalled us to our former sentiments ; meantime we were repeatedly called upon to have recourse to the indulgence of our illustrious Sovereign, and to ask pardon, which would certainly have been granted us by the .Ottoman Generals, who every five or six months of fered an amnesty in the name of the Sublime Porte • but these efforts were vain, because we obstinately refused to give to their assurance the confidence which they merited. Thus we have always deprived ourselves of the pardon which would have placed us among the faithful subjects of his Holiness, as we have long desired. But since the Seraskier Mehemet Redschid Pacha, Gover nor of Rorwelia, Janina, Defino, and Vallona, has been ap pointed Commander in Chief of the Ottoman troops against the insurgents, we have become acquainted with his mild ness and clemency to the conquered, the faithful per formance of his promises, the brilliant and rapid victories which we raw him gain in Greece ; and above all, the ge nerous treatment which, since the taking of the Acropolis of Athens, he has shown to all those who submitted to the Ottoman sceptre, have induced us all again to declare our selves Rajahs of the Sublime Porte. " The exalted qualities which distinguish the Seraskier, and rank him with the most, worthy and faithful of the servants of the Sultan, as well as of his greatest Gene rals, have relieved all fear from our minds ;—we have all repair ed to the camp of his Excellency near Thebes, and on our knees asked pardon for our preceding conduct. The Seraskier granted it with his usual good ness. Our joy is not to be described. After thanking the Almighty, and fervently praying, for long life and hap piness to our august monarch, we have thought we could : not better express our gratitude to our worthy Governor, the Seraskier, than by promising him inviolable fidelity for the future, and declaring ourselves ready to submit to all the orders which lie shall give us. " Since then we have not again deviated from the fidelity which we have sworn to observe, and have every reason to hope, that we shall thereby recover our former happiness and content. Nevertheless, Holy Father, we are continually tormented by remorse; our consciences reproach ns with . having violated our duty to our Holy Church, and make' us so unhappy, that life itself would be of little value, if we were deprived of the consolation which: is the dearest and. most indispensable to Christians. The commands and exhortations of the Holy Church, to recall us to our duty, and the anathema with which it threatened the obstinate, , were long thrown away upon us; deaf to its voice, we' despised, in our infatuation, every proposal to submit, and presumed to reject its wholesome councils. Now that the, revolutionary fury is entirely extinguished in us, and that we acknowledge, with profound sorrow, how criminal we : have been towards our Holy Church, we throw ourselves at. the feet of your Holiness, and implore you, in this petition, which is wet with our tears, to grant us your pardon, tol receive us again into the bosom of your Church, and, as ai tender father, to let us partake of the blessings which you: bestow on your children. " We beg your Holiness to annihilate, by a patriarchal. letter, even the remembrance of our past faults, in order! that, after reconciling ourselves with the Holy Church, our' common mother and benefactress, we may enjoy our hap piness. " May the Almighty prolong the life of your Holiness, and shower down on you all imaginable blessings." (Here follow the signatures of the five Capitani of the five districts.) FRIBURG, OCT. 21 To-day the consecration of our venerable Archbishop took place in the Church of the University, with all the ceremonies prescribed by the Ritual of the Roman Catholic Church. The number of strangers, particularly of co►mtry, people, is incredible. The ceremony was performed with extraordinary pomp, and the presence of the Grand Duke and the three Alargraves has greatly increased the enthu siasm of the citizens, who have manifested their joy by illu minations. Letters have been received this morning from Paris, which express much anxiety as to the result of the new Elections. It does not seem to be a matter of certainty that the Ministers will have a strong majority. The Proclamation for the Dissolution of the Chambers is expected to, appear on Monday. No Papers were published in Paris on Thursday, on account of its being All Saints' Day. The letters mention that fresh armaments at Toulon and Brest are preparing, without specifying their object or destination. — We presume the expedition against Algiers will be the ostensible pretext for these preparations. Letters have been received from Persia, dated the sth of September, which state that ABBAS MIRZA had defeated a Russian corps, consisting of three thousand infantry of the Moscow Regi ment of Imperial Guards, three hundred Hulans, and one thousand Cossacks, with several guns. The Persian army consisted of five thousand regular infantry, five thousand horse, and twenty eight pieces of cannon. The battle took place about six miles from the fort Eutch Kelaisea, and lasted from dawn till evening. The Russians lost one thousand six hundred men, killed or taken prisoners, and the remainder took shelter in the above-named fort, which is closely in vested by the Persian army. During the engage ment the following r emarkable circumstance took place :—two battalions of the Persian army gallantly charged two battalions of the Imperial Guards, and after a long, sanguinary, and obsti nate conflict, completely routed, with great loss, the Russian battalions.

A gentleman was driving at a quick rate towards the Compter, when an elderly female, of genteel appearance, was crossing the road ; the shaft of the vehicle unfortu nately came forcibly in contact with her, and knocked h e r down, the wheel passing over her. body.
