FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Journal des _Debate of Oct. 27.) • CORFU, OCT. B.—An armistice of 9 2 days has been concluded between Ibrahim and the Greek Go- vernment, and guaranteed by the Commanders of the French and English squadrons cruising off Navarino. Two Russian brigs- are the only vessels of that na tion now before this port. It is said that they have on board the Russian Councillor Alascary, by birth a Greele, who appears in quality of diplomatic agent of the Russian fleet. An English (eater has brought to the Lord High Commissioner despatches from Admiral Codrington, on the receipt of which a cou rier was immediately despatched for London. They are probably relative to the armistice.—Gazette of Awsburgh. - VIENNA, Our. 16.—The news froM Constanti nople, in the Austrian Observer, add to what we have already reported, that the Kiaja Bey (Minister of the Interior) has received the Patriarch with nll the marks of consideratinu due to a superior autho rity. Here follows the answer put into the mouth of the Minister :—" That a party among the people has rendered itself highly culpabli towards the Porte ; that the blood of women, children, and old people slaughtered, cries for vengeance against the revolted; hut that at all times the principle of the Sublime Porte has been to pardon rebel sub jects when they , repent and submit ; that even on this occasion the Porte, faithful to its prin ciples, feels with pleasure the return of the wayward Greeks, and would throw over the past the veil of indulgence and oblivion. •In order to display this indulgence in its fullest light, and in the hope of en couraging the rest of the rebels to a step which an ill-founded fear or the seductions of the ill-inten tioned might alone hinder them from taking, orders shall be immediately given to set at liberty all the Bishops detained as hostages. PARIS, OCT. 26.—1 n the affair of the Journal du Commerce, accused of contravention of the censor ship, M. Levavasseur, King's Advocate, having shown that the responsible editor had inserted in the number of the.lsth of September, an article not previously_ subjected to the censor, required the pe nalties of fine and imprisonment fixed by the law. "M. Barthe replied, that the article was almost word for word the same as one in the Gazette - de France of .the same day, relative to the affairs of Spain, which had necessarily undergone censure. The tribunal, after.a short deliberation, pronounced judgment that, seeing the article inculpated had been submitted to the censure, and therefore that Michael Cardon, editor of the Journal du Commerce, had not been culpable of the offence provided for by the laws of 1820 and 1892, the complaint is dismissed. (From the Constitutionnel, Oct. 27.) BUCHAREST, OCT. 3.—There has arrived here a Russian estafette, who was detained a few hours at the Consul's office, and then continued his route for Constantinople. According to our intelligence from Jassy, where there are frequent communications with the Russian frontiers, the army of the south is concentrated upon a superficies f of 50 square miles, and divided into three corps. This army, com manded in chief by General Wittgenstein, is com posed of 74,000 infantry, 12 regiments of cavalry, (4 of . dragoons, 4' of hussars, 2 of chasseura, and 2 of Milani) arid'6 pales of Cossacks, forming a total of 84,000 men. General Sabaniew, who commands the right wing, has his - head-gunners at Beby ; Ge neral Krenv, WhO commands the left, at Labussna ; and the - General-in-Chief Kischenew. The corps of General Sabaniew is in communication with the left wing of the army of Count Sac ken, by a chain of posts, which may he called horse telegraphs. This wing is under the orders of General Roth, and the army of Count Sacken amounts to 250,000 men, posted en echelon as tar as Mohilow, where General Suiten has his head quarters. BARCELONA, OCT. 17.—0 n the 13th instant Bel leiter was beaten at Santa Colona de Fames by Colonel Base, who had marched out from Gerona on the 10th at the head of his regiment, as soon as the rebels raised. the siege of the place. Ballester bad 50 men killed and several wounded; he eivo lost some prisoners, a few horses, several mules, two charges of munitions, and a little tield s piece; his hat and uniform have also fallen into the hands of the conquerors. The famous Duke de Berge, Bosoms, the first who raised the stan dard of rebellion' in Upper Ca talonia, finding himself shut in, in the defiles of Rippol and Camperdon, decided to send back a part of his troop. The officers compromised entered France by Prats de Mollo; the peafiants entered with them : himself, with 2,000 soldiers, deter mined to do every thing and undertake every thing, has effected his retreat or flight by the valley of Ribes and the hill of Poses ' • he had to traverse the Spanish Cerdagne and La Segal, and to repair to La Conque de .Tremp, his natal country, where he hopes to have the means of maintaining himself. Continual rains, and the overflow of the rivers, will have, without doubt, detained the Count d'Espagne in his march nnd operations; but for this, we count upon hearing of the entire dispersion of the rebels, upon their submission. (From the Gazette de France dated Sunday, Oct. 28.) PARIS, OCT. 27.—Letters from Toulouse, dated the "s'2d of October, say that since the entrance of the Count d'Espagne into Gerona, which took place on the 4th of this month, the communications with Barcelona and the Sen. d'Urgel are perfectly free. The rebel chief Casten, who has made his sub mission, has received orders from the Governor of figueiras to attack'the insurgents himself. On the 17th he commenced hostilities against them, and took some prisoners. The Phare says — Our merchants will learn with pleasure that the Government seems resolved to put a atop to the depredations of the pirates, and to finish with Algiers. We hear that the squadrons are to be reinforced, in order more effectually to pro tect the merchantmen that navigate those seas. It ,elso stated that the Marshal Duke of R— is appoie`ed Commander-in -Chief of the troops that will be led" at Algiers, the number of which is said to be 10,000 men. Our merchants will recog nize in these melsaires the paternal solicitude of the Sovereign. (From the Quotidionne.) PARIS, OCT. 2G.—His Majesty arrived yesterday, a little after 12'o'clock, on the plain of hey, and immediately after mounted his horse, accompanied by the Dauphin. He passed in front of the different Fnes of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The Dauphiness and her Royal Highness Madame also passed through the lines in- an open carriage. The troops assembled consisted of 20 battalions of infantry, 12 squadrons of ..c . avalry, and six batteri es (three of them horse) artillery. The infantry was in two lines; the first was corn. posed of 1 0 batta lions of the regiments of the guards, commanded by Lieutenant -General Count de Bour monte : the second was formed of the Bth regiment of the guard, t he 18th, 21 st , and 27th of the line, and the 14th light infantry, commanded by Lieut.- thirieral Count Coutard. There were altogether 36 pieces of artillery, 12 of Nvhich were howitzers. The whole force was from 11,000 to 12,000 men. After the King's inspection, the Marechal Duc De Ragusa commanded the manoeuvres, and the sham-fight commenced. One of the corps was supposed to be attacked by a column of the enemy's cavalry. 720 prevent being flanked, it rested itself upon the houses of Javelle and the park of the Duke of Treviso, and presented its front to the assailants, who were repulsed by a well sustained fire, and by the artil lery. All the manoeuvres were executed with as .much celerity as intelligence, and to the satisfaction of his Majesty, w hi c h h e ha d pleasure in testifying loudly to the Marshal and the Generals. The different corps defiled before his Majesty and their Royal Highnesses. The Gendarmerie d'Elite, and that of Paris, were also admitted to defile before the Royal Party. All would have passed without an accident, if a *Ant „L E r • , „ LONDON, TITESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1827. We received last night the Paris Papers of Saturday, and the Gazette de France dated Sunday morning. Although we find in them some communications from private letters and from, the German Papers, relative to the affairs of - the East, they do not furnish us with any fresh intelligence of importance on that subject. An article in the Constitutionnel from Bucharest, under date of the 3d inst., states that the Russian Army of the South had been concentrated and divided into three corps, consisting together of 74,000 infantry, twelve regiments of cavalry, and six pulks of Cossacks, forming a total of 84,000 men, under General WITTGENSTEIN. The right wing is in communication with the grand army under Count SACKEN, which amounts to 250,000, posted en chellon, as far as Mohilow. The accounts from Spain still describe suc cesses over the Rebels, but the very fact of these continual conflicts chews that the insurrection has not been so generally suppressed as the earlier accounts led us to believe. The Gazette de France copies an article from the Pkare, which, if true, shews that France is at last going to act with vigour against the Algerines. It states that the squadrons employed in the blockade are to be reinforced, and that the Marshal Duke of R- is appointed to the command of au army of 10,000 men, which is to be landed at Algiers. France at present has gained neither advantage nor honour in the war with these barbarians, and we very much question whether she will acquire either by landing an army on the territories of the Dny. Extracts of these Papers are given in another column, and we subjoin the price of the Funds in Paris on Saturday. FRENCH FUNDS, OCT. 27.—Five per Cents. 101 f. 95c. ; Three ditto, 721. ; Bank Stock, 2,002 f. 50c.— Exchange on London—One Month, lg. 20o.; Three Months, 25f. 10c. • The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 23d instant,' also reached us last night. It contains intel ligence from Constantinople, to the 2d (not the 20th instant, as stated in some of the Morning Papers), which states that the Porte appears to become more compliant. This does not seem however, to be borne out by the farts mentioned ; namely, that in every official com munication, the SULTAN declares that he will hear nothing of the Greek question, and that he carries on his defensive operations, especially, towards the Russian frontiers, with the utmost activity. An article contained in this Paper, from the Avstrian Observer, dated Vienna, October 18, very coolly admits the fact, that Austrian trans ports are co-operating with the Egyptian fleet. This spews that the Government of Austria is ready to avow its opposition to the measures of the Allied Powers in the East. The following are extracts : BuellAllan, OCT. s.—According to merchants' letters from Constantinople, of the 30th September, every piece of intelligence from the Archipelago is looked for with anxiety. The last note of their Ambassadors, dated the 31st of August, seemed to make the Porte very uneasy, and the declaration contained in it,—that the Porte not accepting the proposed armistice and the intervention, the three Powers would employ all means to separate the con tending parties, and to effect an armistice de facto, —gives it the more reason to anticipate an unfavourable result of its military operations, as Ibrahim Paella, who is alone able to act with effect in the field, has shown, since the taking of Missolonghi, a degree of lukewarmness, which, under the circumstances, would have drawn on him the dis pleasure of the Sultan ; and now gives cause to apprehend that he will disappoint the great hopes that are founded on his operations, and really bring about an armistice by his want of energy. The latter has therefore ordered that the army of Redschid Paella shall be reinforced as speedily as possible, and that he shall resume offensive operations without delay. But perhaps before the reinforcements arrive, and the Seraskier can commence his operations, the fate of Greece may already be decided. (iv EXPRESS.) _ _ CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 2.—The Porte seems to lose its self confidence, and to become more compliant ; though it still endeavours to show no signs of fear, it is to be re marked, that while it affirms that it has the most fat affable news from the Mores, and in every official communication declares that it will hear nothing about the Greek question, the chief Dragoman of the Porte has, however, almost daily conferences with the Dragomans of France and &g -land ; and the two latter have lately had a conference with the Reie Effendi, who is not wholly recovered from his in disposition. However .hard it may be for the Porte to agree to an arrangement, the sight of a formidable army in Bes sarabia may, perhaps, induce it to do so ; and it seems not impossible that the representations of Count Guille minot and Mr. Canning may at length be attended to. The Porte, however, carries on its defensive preparations with activity, especially toward the Russian frontiers ; so that if there were not good reason to doubt of such an in tention, it must be presumed that the Porte itself designed to bring about a war. According to accounts worthy of credit, all preparations are made in Bessarabia to be able to enter the principalities at the first order, and to remove the theatre of war to the Danube. Preparations are making also at Ismael. Two companies of Pontoneers, one company of Miners, and two regiments of Light Infantry, belonging to the corps of general Kreaz_have arrived in that fortress. TatxsTE, Ocr. 16.—The latest accounts from the lonian Islands show that the convention of the 6th of July is not a mere illusion, and the Greeks, as usual, indulge in the most extravagant hopes. We are curious to see what effect the determined interference of the English and French Admirals will make on the Divan. We learn that the Russian Counsellor Vlawsopulo, who is already on his way to Corfu, is appointed Russian Consul to the Greek Central Government at Egina, conformably to the convention of July 6. _ _ VIENNA, OCT. 18.—The Austrian Observer says— " The Moniteur affirms that the transports with the Egyptian fleet are almost all Austrian. We have already stated that they were 41 in number, and that five of them were European ships. We do not think it imposilble that some of them may be Austrian." • We likewise received last night by the General Steam Navigation Company's vessel, the Sir Edward Banks, Hamburgh Papers to the 27th instant. They mention the arrival at Copen hagen on the 20th, of Major WILLOCK, the British Envoy to the Court of Persia, in his way to St. Petersburgh. The following is the only paragraph relative to the affairs of the East:— HAMBUILGII, OCT. 26.—0 n the 20th of this month news from Constantinople, dated the Ist, was received at Vienna, according to which the hopes of an amicable ar rangement with the Porte still continued. The prices of corn had risen considerably in consequence. EXCHANGES OM LONDON. HAMBURGH, OCT. 26.-36 23- ; two Months, 36. STOCKHOLM, OCT. 19.-12 22. LEIPSIG, OCT. 22.—Three Months, 6 144. BERLIN, OCT. 23.—Three Months, 6 25. CHRBTIANIA, OCT. 17.—Three Months, S. 6 3. Letters to the 11th of September have been received from Port-au-Prince, announcing the recovery of the President BOY ER. The season continued very sickly. A file of Washington Papers, to the sth inst. inclusive, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, from which we make the following extracts : The Spanish Minister, M. de Facon, had arrived in that city on the Tuesday preceding. Thos. Lancaster was about to open a school upon his system in Trenton, N. I. The books which had been opened in Washington to receive subscriptions to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal are to re main open, according to the charter of the Company, 40 dais. The sum required to secure the execution of the eastern sectio of the canal is 3 millions of dollars ; the sulk already subscribed in Washington and Georgetown amounted to 1,491,300 dollars. From the communications made, this speculation seems to be a favourite one with our American friends, and considered as tending to give great facility and benefit to the mercantile interests. The private accounts from every part of the Continent mention, without reserve, the known feelings of the Court of Vienna on the subject of the intervention of the other three Great Powers in the affairs of Turkey and Greece, and the Austrian Observer begins to get over the silence which it)?as hitherto maintained on this topic. A short ti;o9 only will (it is said) elapse before Austria will publicly avow her opposition to the policy which has been adopted by the other Powers, and publish to the world her ob jections to it in the usual form of a Manifesto. In the mean time, that which probably forms the chief objection on the part of Austria to the interference ofthe Allied Powers begins to manifest itself—namely, the ambitious object which Russia has in view. On this subject we have never entertained any doubt, and have, without hesita tion, expressed our apprehensions. The private letters received 3esterday tend to confirm the opinion we have so steadily held on this subject. They state in the most confident manner that in consequence of certain circumstances which have transpired at Constantinople, it has become obvious that Russia was seeking the extension of her own, territory, rather than the pacification of Greece ; and that while the British Ambas sador was manfully, and in a straight-forward man ner, using his strenuous exertions to induce the Porte to consent to the measures proposed by the Allies for the preservation of general peace, the Russian Ambassador was using secret means to urge the Porte to a line of con duct which would ultimately justify the invasion of the Ottoman Empire by the Russian army. This duplicity of conduct had been noticed by the British Ambassador, and the discussions to which it had given rise are said to have produced a complete schism between him and the Ambas sador from Russia. The private letters which we have seen mention these facts only, ana we must wait the next arrivals for an account of the consequences of the differences between the Ple nipotentiaries of the two Powers. We, however, repeat our prediction, that Russia will never aband on h e r object, and will never lose any favourable opportunity which may arise of attain ing it —even, if in so doing, she incurs the jealousy or even the hostility of Great Britain. Another version of the origin of the differ ences which are said to have arisen between the British and Russian Ambassadors at Constan tinople, is given by some of the letters from that Capital. It is stated that the Russian Ambassador finding that the Porte wished to procrastinate the negociations, became very anxious for the Allied Ambassadors to take their departure immediately. rivlr. STRATFORD CANNING, on the contrary, said that as he found the PORTE he did nut think Still inclined to avoid a rupture, it prudent to leave the Turkish Capital in so abrupt a manner, and was determined to wait. This offended the Russian Minister, and both parties became heated, and sent despatches on the subject to their respective Courts. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

TIM FUNDS-(TEIIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE o'CLocr. The apparent uncertainty which at present 'attends our political relations with Turkey, has caused the dealers in the British Funds to act with more than common caution. Consols opened at 87i for Account, and went back to 87i for a moment, but have since been alternately buyers and sellers at 87,1, and may fairly be quoted sellers at the present time, looking rather sickly. The Commissioners were supplied at 87i; India Bonds remain at 97 9; and Exchequer Bills, 62 63 pm. The Foreign Funds, particularly Mexican Bonds, have been rather heavy this morning, and have de clined to 534 4; Brazilian are 614 2, and Buenos Ayres, which sympathise with the former, 50 2. —A general opinion is daily gaining strength, that the two Governments are likely to come to such terms as may be favourable to the con clusion of peace. To attain this desirable end it is confidently stated the Emperor Don Pedro has so far abated his pretensions as to be willing to let the Banda Oriental, and Monte Video, which are the bone of contention, form either a new State, or at least to remain under the protection of some other power. In Shares the Tlalpuxahua Mines are at a higher rate of discount, being quoted at 90 70.

WINDSOR, OCT. 27.—There is now to be seen growing in the gardens at Cooper's-hill, Englefield-green, the seat of the late Lord Lang ford, a plant of the Great American Gourd, hav ing produced three fruit of the enormous weight of two hundred and fifty-four pounds. The present female fashions in Paris are be coming perfectly hideous ; they are nearly those which the French themselves ridiculed some years ago as outré and extravagant in our Eng lish ladies. A Gentleman accosted a Lady in the street with, "My ,dear Mary, I have been at your house ; I have placed my life in your hands."— "Good God ! you amaze me ; what has hap pened : speak," answered the lady. " Only, my dear, having written and published my Memoirs,' I have left a copy for your acceptance," replied the Gentleman. At a Vestry Meeting at Boston (Lincoln shire), the 11th instant, to pass the Overseers' accounts, it was stated that the peer rate in that town, for the year ending in April last, exceeded one-fifth of the preceding year, or about 1,0001. The accounts for the present year are said not to wear a more favourable aspect. At Bacup, a few days ago, a man called at a shop at the moment that a boy had taken from a wire trap a living mouse, to whose tail he tied a string, and was amusing himself by letting poor nius run terrified upon the counter. The shopkeeper, as we understand, making some ob servations on the absence of his cat, the cus tomer said, every man ought to be his own mouse-catcher. This begot a conversation, when he said lie could himself worry a mouse, and for a penny would undertake to worry the one then fearfully running upon the counter. A penny was laid down, in acceptance of the prof ferred assistance ; the man put his hand behind his own back, and made an attack upon poor mousey, who might as well have fallen into the fangs of the largest tom-cat in the hundred of Blackburn, for in a few minutes he was crushed to atoms between the merciless jaws of the deli cate rival of the purring hunters ; and he was so delighted with his own prowess, that he has of fered to worry a living rat, or even a cat, for a trifling remuneration.. , ._Rochdale Recorder. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. The LORD CHANCELLOR sat to-day at a quarter to twelve o'clock. It was understood that he would only sit for the purpose of giving judgments, and ten cases were set down, which were thus disposed of by his Lordship, who read over the judgments, which he bad previously written down. The Bar was pretty fully attended, and the Coun sel looked refreshed and well. IVFSEY V. LIVESEY. This came before his Lordship in the shape of an appeal from the judgment of the late Sir Thomas Plomer, and the question related to the construction of the will of a Mr. Thos. Worthing. It was whether a Mr. Edward Worthing had been rightly paid by trustees, 2001. a-year before his majority, out of half the fortune of Miss Eliza Worthing, and before her death. The Court was of opinion that the money had been wrongly paid; that the Court had a right and jurisdiction to enable it to call for the re payment of that money ; aad that the Master had done right in making such an order. The conse quence was, the dismissal of the appeal against the late Master's decree, with costs. BARTLETT V. GILLARD. His LORDSHIP stated,that in this case the testatrix died in 1793, and a bill was filed by the plaintiff, calling upon the Court to order the payment of the arrear of an annuity of 12/. a year, from 1793 to 1817, since, which period the annuity has been paid. Upon carefully looking into the affidavits, &c. and particularly from a letter written by the plaintiff in 1816, it appeared to the Court, that at that time, namely, 1816, no arrear was due ; the result, there fore, was, the dismissal of the bill with costs. SIJEWELT, V. JONES. His LORDSHIP did not think he would have been justified in complying with the petition presented in this case, praying for further enquiry into the circumstances connected with it, and conse quently he dismissed it with costs. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. MAYOR OF EXETER. His LORDSHIP was of opinion that the Vice- Chancellor's decree in this case was right, namely, that the defendants were not authorised to apply the rents and profits of the charity as they had done in the defraying of certain fee-farm rents and imposi tions, &c. He affirmed the decree. A question now remains ' to be discussed on a future day, namely, what the estates are the corporation are to be charged with in accounting. COOL V. COLLINILIDGE. His LORDSHIP confirmed the Master's report in this case, that it will be for the advantage of all parties that lots five and six of the coachmaking concern, in Liquorpond-street, should be sold by public auction in one lot. He was also of opinion, with the Master, that the other messuages belonging to the concern, should be sold in the separate lots as reported. His LORDSHIP Will sit again on the Ist of No vember, the First Seal. The current report in the Hall throughout the day was, that Mr. Shadwell is to be the Vice- Chancellor. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Sittings at Westminster before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and Common Juries. DECKLE V. This was as action of assault and false impri sonment. Mr. WEIGHTMAN stated the case. The plaintiff was a carpenter residing near Hyde Park-corner, and the defendant was of a profession not likely to lead him into disputes. He was nothing more nor less than a tailor. The parties had been the greatest friends in the world, until within a recent period, when some difference on pecuniary matters having arisen between them, an aetion was brought by one for the balance of an account, and the cross-action was instituted by the other. The whole case was referred to Mr. Chitty, but the defendant refused to abide by that Learned Gentle man's award. Out of this dispute had arisen one bankruptcy, an assault, a false imprisonment, and also the present proceedings. For the defendant had since become a bankrupt, and in the course of September the parties met at the Highbury Arms, Islington, where the defendant violently assaulted the plaintiff, by striking him with a pint-pot. Some exasperating language had previously passed 'be tween them, when the defendant among other things charged Mr. Chitty with having made two false awards.—(A laugh.)—The defendant not con tent with being. the aggressor, actually preferred an indictment against the plaintiff, as if l►e were him self the injured party, and on the night of the 14th September, he caused the plaintiff to be taken into custody, and committed to Spa-fields watch-house, where he was detained until eleven o'clock next, morning. • The Learned Counsel would prove these facts, and leave it to the Jury to say what compen sation his client was entitled to for such very gross and unprovoked injuries. Several witnesses all agreed in saying that the plaintiff had, in the first instance, applied very abu sive epithets to the defendant; and some said that he had commenced the conversation in the most unconciliating form, namely, by a demand for money. The watchhouse-keeper proved that the plaintiff had been committed to his custody in the manner stated. Mr. THEssioutt, for the defendant, admitted that the plaintiff would be entitled to steal a verdict on one count, that for false imprisonment, to which the defendant had not pleaded a justification. The defendant's witnesses went still further in fixing the plaintiff with the use of the most abusive language. Lord TENTERDEN—WouId not the better course be to withdraw a juror, so as to give a triumph to neither party ? This arrangement was assented to. Lord TENTERDRN expressed himself in terms of high approbation of the manner in which two such young members of the bar had conducted the cause : there was nothing left undone for their clients, yet they had contrived to protect their interest without unnecessarily wasting the public time. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. BOW-STREET. An application was made by one of the clerks of Ilfessrs. Pickford and Co., carriers, to Sir Klemm? B iamm , without proper inquiry, whereby it appeared that an errand-boy, belonging to their office, had taken away a quantity of their accounts, and sold them for waste paper to different cheesernongers.

Bishop, the officer, was sent with the clerk, and the boy who sold the paper, to the different places where he had disposed of it, and the clerk und er t oo k t h at t h e b oy s h ou ld be forthcoming, in ease it should be necessary to prosecute , the parties.
