(From the Emile, dated Thursday, Jan. 25.) CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 1. DEC. I.—Three Jews who have been converted to Chris tianity by the English Clergyman, were arrested last night ; they have been taken before the Grand Vizier, and on their refusal to abjure their new religion have been taken back to prison. The rigour with which they are treated pro ceeds also from their having laid aside the costume of Rajahs, and put on the European dress. DEC. 3.—The Bachi Aga (chief of the Police of the quarter of the arsenal), has just been appointed Intendant of the Arsenal. DEC. 20.—1 t is said that a flying bridge is going to be built in the port, and it is calculated that it would pro duce the Government a million of paras It is affirmed that a firman orders all heads of families to have their male children inscribed in tie registers im mediately after their birth. Each of them is to receive a portion of the pay till he is able to bear arms and become a soldier. DEC. 21.—The Sultan is engaged in formin g a corps o f cavalry. It consists alr ea dy of 200 or 300 men, with whom he has gone through the streets adjacent to the Seraglio. DEC. 25.—There is a report that fresh troops will be sent to the Morea in the spring, by way of Missolonghi. The Pacha of Bosnia has been deposed, on account of the troubles which have broken out in his Government.— He is succeeded by. the Pacha of Belgrade. The Sultan every day attends the exercise of the new troops. Like the Bimbachis, he holds a whip in his hand, and strikes those who appear to him to be negligent. The pages of Galata Serai, who have been taught the use of arms, have been introduced to him. He was much pleased with them, and has kept them in the Seraglio. DEC. 27.—Eleven lonian subjects, who were confined in the house of Correction, have been set at liberty, at the instance of the English Legation; one of them had }seen there 17 years, another 11. DEC. 28.—The principle of the new reform seems to gain ground with the nation; thirty-two Colonels are now actively engaged; twelve are employed at Constantinople, five in Rumelia, the others in the Asiatic provinces of the Empire. The latter have met with great facilities in forming their regiments, and daily send to the capital their snperfluous recruits. The building of the new- barracks proceeds rapidly, and the internal arrangements are very good—that of Daoud Pacha will contain six regiments ; that of Rarniz Tchilik four; and that of Scutari five regiments. These will be ready to receive the troops by the middle of next year. The following list of the disciplined troops, the greater part of which are at Constantinople, has been drawn up from data, which there is reason to believe correct :- 2,500 in the barracks of the Arabadjes, with blue facings; 2,500 in the barracks of the Dzebujes, with green facings; 3,000 in that of Eske Seras, with red facings; 2,000 Sey men in the same barracks; 2,000, ditto, in the quarter of Pacha Capouchi ; 3,000 Bostangis depending on the Bos tangi Baschi ; 2,000 others in different parts, in the vicinity of Constantinople; 5,000 men sent td the Dar danelles, to Tenedos, Scio, and the Morea—total 21,800. Ten thousand men were assembled at Boti 25 days ago. It is supposed that half of them have already arrived in de tachments at Constantinople. There are in the arsenal 600 men paid by the Govern ment: it is intended to increase them to 3,000 ; and 400 paid by the Captain Pacha personally. He intends to have 1,000. It is to this corps that the European officers are attached. There are also 16,000 Topchis, of whom 12,000 are in Constantinople and the environs ; the other 4,000 have been sent away; it is said they will be increas ed to 30,000. This makes the armed force amount to 49,800 men. The bombardiers are estimated at 6,000. The garrison of Constantinople is to be composed of 120,000 men. It is reckoned that the several Pachas will have 180,000 men, which would make the military force of the empire amount to 300,000 men. DEC. 30.—1 t is said that a Tartar arrived to-day from Athens, has announced that the citadel was closely in vested by Redschid Pacha, and has brought to the Govern ment the tenor of the conditions on which the garrison is said to have offered to capitulate. Another Tartar, who has come from Agrafa, in Albania, has brought news of the revolt of the Greek inhabitants of that country. He was the bearer of some heads, sent by Ismael Pacha, who is said to have commenced offensive operations against the rebels. A plot, the object of which is unknown, has been dis covered. It was formed by the Albanians, a great number of whom are employed in the public laths; several hun dred persons hare already been exiled on this occasion. DEC. 31.—The Pacha of Mouch has revolted ; the Porte has ordered Galeb Pacha, of Erzerum, to march against him; he is a Curie; his Government is situated to the east of Lake Vard. It is stated that M. de Ribeaupierre has signified to the Hospodars, that on passing through their capitals, he should inquire into the state of the finances of these prin cipalities, and that he, therefore, requested them to have their accounts ready. The Sultan has been, to-day, to the arsenal; he has passed the day in exercising the new troops, and examin ing the details of their organization. From the joyful countenance of the Captain Pacha, it is presumed that the Sultan was contented, and expressed his satisfaction to him. (From the Journal des Debats of Wednesday.) GENEVA, JAN. 18.--M. Eynard lately addressed to the Nouvellist Vaudois, the following extract of the happy and mportant news which he has received from Greece:— " Since the letter which I had the honour to write to the Committee of Lausanne, the 17th of January (this should, perhaps be December), I , have received nume rous letters from Napoli di Romania, of the 12th, 13th, and 18th December. All of them bring news favourable to Greece, of which the following is the substance : " Colonel Heideck writes nearly in the following terms : " After a fatiguing passage, and some dangers, we ar rived at Napoli the sth of Dec. and entered the Port at the same time as the American frigate. The Turks have been defeated by land in Eastern Greece, and obliged to raise the siege of Athens. " The Egyptian fleet, through which we happily passed, though it consisted of 75 sail, h a d on l y - provisions on board, and no troops for Ibrahim. The Greeks are joyful and full of hope. The National Assembly has not yet fixed on the place of its sittings. " To-morrow we set out for Egina, by way of Epidau rus. We shall afterwards go to Athens. " Admiral Miaulis has taken the command of the frigate and is gone with it to Poro. " Karaiskaki has covered himself with glory at Aracona, towards Livadia ; he there attacked Muslan Bey Kiaffa, of Rumelia, with 2,000 men, and completely defeated him. Before the action, the Turk proposed to retire. No ! re plied Karaiskaki, Missolonghi demands blood, and 1,300 barbarians were sacrificed to the manes of those sacred victims. This fury of the Greeks shows how the wounds in the hearts of the victors were still bleeding. (The greater part of Karaiskaki's troops is composed of the de fenders of Missolonghi, who lost every thing they held dear, when that town was plundered.) A rich booty, in arms and baggage, was the result of this brilliant success. " The expedition of Colliti promised a happy result, and the inhabitants seconded it with all their power, offering all the provisions they could spare, and some money. " The distribution of prov,isions had commenced, and M. Bailey had exerted himself to make the best use of the two cargoes going to the assistance of the most important points, and especially of Karaiskaki, who shows himself every where with continual success, &c. &c. " The letters from Napoli announce, besides, the arrival of six vessels with provisions, and a ship sent from Zante, " Accept, &c. " J. G. EYNARD." (From the Quoadienne of Wednesday.) PARIS, JAN. 23.—Letters from the Isle de France, of August lasj say, that by a decisio n o f t h e E ng li s h Govern ment in that Colony, above 400 inhabitants of the island had been forced to leave it. These exiled colonists are Frenchmen, who, having been received in the isle since it has been occupied by the English, had married there, and bought estates, but had not been admitted to take the oath of allegiance, though they had solicited to do so. The same letters affirm that no plot, no subject of discontent, has given occasion to this extraordinary and barbarous measure, which the English Government has thought it proper to take. (From the Moniteur of Tuesday.) MADRID, JAN. 1 I.—The Court Will set out on the 15th inst. for the Pardo; the King has authorised M. de Cabo marde to accompany it there. The two Swiss regiments will march in four columns, in the following order :—On the 12th, a battalion and a half with the Colonel of the first; on Saturday the first battalion, and the half of the second, of the first regiment; on Sunday the third, and the half of the second battalion of the second regiment, with the General, and the magazine of clothes; on Monday, the 15th, the half of the second battalion, and the first battalion of the second regiment, with the treasure. On Tuesday, the 16th, the hospital, consisting of 200 sick, and all the me -dical officers, escorted by a detachment of infantry, about thirty horsemen, and one piece of artillery. The magazines of food and other necessaries, took, on the 14th, the route to Alcobendas, and the route towards France is already covered with vehicles. Much is said here pn the subject of a circular from the Minister of War, which is about to be addressed to the Captains-General. [ - Here the substance of the Spanish Minister's Circular is correctly described.] It is thought from this document that our Cabinet now acts in perfect accordance with France and Great Britain, not for the interests of the Constitutional Regime against the Absolutists, but in order to effect a pacification, in con sequence of which the Portuguese Constitution itself will be much modified, and perhaps even abolished, as being manifestly at variance w►th the feelings of the nation. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LLOYD'S.—(Tuis DAY.) DEAL, JAN. 26.—Wind 'N.W.—His Netherland ,Majesty's brig, Zwaluw, remains ready for sea; and Eliza and Jane, of London, from the westward, and Cadiz packet, came down and sailed. A round-sterned ship, under American colours, from the korthward. FALMOUTH, JAN. 25.—Arrived the Carden, Harris. HARWICH, JAN. 26.—N.W.—Put back, the Oscar packet, with the mail for Gottenhurgh. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 25.—Arrived the Minerva, Thompson, at Rio Janeiro; Annesly, from Barcelona ; Louise and Augusto, Gre gorius, from Dantzic. The Memnon, Hill, from St. Vincent, got on shore near Wicklow, but was got off again with assistance. Sailed the Arabian, Thompson, for Bahia; Fanny, Alexander, for Pernambuco; Mersey, Tollins, for Rio Janeiro; and Silas, Richards, for New York. RAMSGATE, JAN. 26.—The French sloop La Jeune Sophie, Grosois, from St. Vallery to Dunkirk, in ballast, has been brought in here this morning by a Deal boat's crew, who found her at sea without any person on board. It appears she has been ashore on the Goodwin Sands, where she was abandoned by the crew. MILFORD, JAN. 25.—Yesterday arrived his Majesty's Post office packet Vixen, Captain Roberts, with the mail from Water fore, at 10 a.m. ; saw off the Smalls the James Cropper, out 28 days, from New York to Liverpool, with 23 passengers, among whom was Mr. Waring, the King's Messenger, with despatches and Lieutenant Were, of the American navy, whom Captain Ro berts brought here, but having a mail on board, time would not allow of his returning for the others. It is supposed the de spatches relate to the ratification of the Convention between our Government and America, by which the former stipulates to pay for negroes taken during the war with that country. Arrived last evening the schooner Alert, Wilson, from Ipswich to Liver pool, having been run foul of by the Westly, of Great Yarmouth, on Wednesday morning. , ANTWERP, JAL 23.—We have experienced a severe frost since Wednesday last, and our pilots refused this morning, to take charge of vessels down the river, in consequence of some drifting ice, but more particularly on account of the fall of snow. The wind had got round to the S. W. and the weather is milder. The greater part of the cargo of the Schelde has been fished up, but all damaged. Hopes aro still entertained that the vessel in her wrecked state will be got afloat. OSTEND, JAN. 24.—Very bad weather. Snow deeper than has been known for many years, in this country. Rotterdam, Sharp, from Rotterdam for Batavia, off Harwich, with loss of rudder. THE LATE DUKE OF YORK.—Every tribute of respect to the memory of the Duke of York was manifested at Warwick. On Saturday last the shops were closed, and on Sunday the service appointed for the burial of the dead was read by the Rev. J. Kendall, M.A., at St. Nicholas's Church : a Sermon was afterwards delivered, by the Rev. Dr. Wade, the Vicar, in which he pronounced a just and eloquent eulogium on the illustrious dead. A great concourse of persons of all ranks T . u h e c ces p s t i i , lp e i t pe and s frroemaditnhge- d m es u k ffl i ed vei b •e el h is u a n d g de s d vi t t h o and denomin a tio ns a tte n d e d, and went away d ee pl y i mpresse d w i th b th la e ck di c sc lo o t u h r , se a . and the solemnities of the day.

Letters, containing the strongest. assurances of co-operation and support, from numerous distinguished persons, were read.— Among those who were prevented from attending, by absence from town, were, his Grace the Duke of Wellington and Lord Rolle. After some mi nor arrangemen t s f o r a future meet ing, and for inviting other distinguished individuals to take part in the management, the Meeting adjourned to Friday next, whey a day will be fixed for a Public General Meeting at the Freemasons' Tavern. THE DUKE Or YORK'S BATON.—This trophy, about which the newspapers report his Royal Highness's execu tors and the prebendaries of Windsor to be disputing, has not the intrinsic value imputed to it. The staff is covered with crimson velvet studded with golden lions ; the lower end has a large fer rule, or termination, of chased gold, bearing an inscription of its being a gift of his Majesty's ; and the upper end has a like termination of chased gold, surmounted by an equestrian figure of St. George, also of gold. Mentioning a subject connected with the late funeral (which greatly disappointed public expectation), we may record the curious fact, that the black horses so conspi cuous on the occasion, were those used by George 111. on state ceremonies, after his Majesty determined not to he drawn by the cream-coloured set. This resolution was taken in consequence of 13 uonaparte's obtaining that breed when he occupied Hanover, and causing himself to be drawn by them in his triumphing pageant.—Literary Gazelle. About the year 1810, his Royal Highness the late Duke of York, whilst reviewing, in company with his present Majesty, the troops of the eastern district, on Leaden Heath, near Colchester, then commanded by the Earl of Chatham, an old soldier was observed by his Majesty, mounted on an old hack, who requested to be informed who he was. The Comnaander-in.; Chief replied—" Why, it is old Andrews, the oldest soldier in the service, having served in the reigns of George the First, Second, and Third, and now on half-pay." An Aide-de-Camp was then immediately despatched for the old veteran's attendance, which was of course complied with, and a long and pleasing conversation ensued, of which the following forms part:—" How old are you, Andrews, and how long have you been in the service ?" says the late lamented Duke, " Why, your Royal Highness, I am now ninety years old, and have been in, the service aboui seventy years." But his R oya l Hi g h ness , seeing he was d resse d in an old suit of regimental s , as k e d h o w long he had had th em ? " Why, your Highness, abo u t f or t y y ea rs ;" at which his R oya l Highness took up the skirt of his coat for the purpose of feeling its texture, remarked that such cloth was not made now-a-days. —" No," replied the old veteran, " nor such men either." The reply so pleased his Royal Highness and his Majesty, that the old vet e ran was placed from that day on full pay, making the re mainder of his days comfortable. He died at the advanced age of 97, and was buried in the church-yai d of St. Mary's Col chester. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 27, 1827. We received last night the several French Papers of Wednesday, and the Etoile dated Thursday morn- ing. They furnish us with no news from the Penin sula in addition to that which We published yesterday from Wednesday's Monitettr, but the price of the Funds appear to have been incorrectly quoted in the extract we gave yesterday ; the Three per Cents. being quoted in these Papers at 67f. sc. instead of 67f. 50c. - The Etoile contains intelligence from Constanti nople to the Ist inst. The national prejudices against the reforms introduced by the SULTAN are wearing off, and all his Highness's measures go on success fully. A very large army is already formed on the principles of European discipline, and the SULTAN steadily proceeds on the plan he has formed. Regiments of cavalry and artillery are likewise form ing. All male children are registered as soon as born, and each is to receive a portion of pay till he is old enough to bear arms. In fact, every measure seems to show the determination of the SULTAN to raise his empire into a great and active military Power. The Journal des Debuts contains a cominunica- tion from M. EYNARD, announcing that the frigate built in America arrived at Napoli di Romania on the 3d December, and immediately became the flag-ship of tilraur,ls. It also details a brilliant success said to have been obtained by some of the survivers of Missolonghi, under KARA ISKAK I , at Aracona, over a Turkish corps, whos e loss i n killed was estimated at 1,300 men. Extracts of these Papers are given i n anot h er column. By the Flanders Mail of yesterday we have received Brussels Papers to the 25th inst. They contain no political intelligence, but are principally filled with ac counts of the loss of the Wassencer, and with reports of a contradictory nature respecting the Waterloo, the other Dutch 74-gun ship, with troops on board, which had suffered in the late storm. One account states that this-ship has escaped being wrecked, but that she has lost her masts and was anchored off the Isle of Borkum ; while another account says that she has been wrecked offthe mouth of the Ems. The fol lowing extracts give more satisfactory intelligence of affairs in Java : BxussELs, JAN. 2l.—According to the despatches received at the Hague from Batavia, by the Harmony, which come down to September 27, things are going on better in Java than in August. The rebels had been again defeated in every action. The native auxiliary troops had recovered their confidence ; those of the brave Mangko Negoro had again distinguished themselves, and he him self has always set the example of courage and fidelity. The Prince of ierang had suffered a total defeat, and was wandering in the forests. . According to a report of the President of Rambang of Sept. 21, all the districts of the Javanese Princes adjacent to that dis trict were tranquil, and the inhabitants well disposed. This cir cumstance, and the reinforcements already received from Europe, have induced the rebels to go again to the Southern coast., so that they have quitted the territory of the Government. The commu nication with Semarang was restored. jAN. 22.—An extraordinary courier arrived here yesterday from Holland, with despatches for the King. An Aid-de-camp of Prince Frederick set out for Holland im mediately after the arrival of the Courier. Prince Frederick, accompanied by his Aid-de-camp, also set out for Holland. Yesterday evening at nine o'clock, the Journal de Belge says —" It is affirmed that the courier brought the deplorable news of the loss of the Waterloo, stated to have been wrecked at the mouth of the Ems." The Dispatches received at the Foreign Office yes terday, by Mr. WARING, from the United States, are supposed to be of great importance. Reports have been in circulation that the American Government have not shewn a conciliatory disposition in the further discussion of the question of Colonial Trade—but the contents of the Dispatches to Mr. CANNING have not transpired. The Lisbon Papers and Gazettes afford such scanty intelligence of the actual state of affairs in Portugal, that we must look to other channels for information on which any accurate opinion can be formed. This in fact can only be gathered from the concurring testi mony of 1111172CrOla private letters, because the writers are frequently blinded by the prejudices of the party to which they belong, and give accounts totally at variance with each other. It is only by putting to gether circumstances detailed by many that any thing like an opinion of the general complexion of affairs can be come to. In this manner we have en deavoured to form our judgment ; and we cannot say that the result is quite satisfactory. It is true that the capital is perfectly quiet , but perhaps this augurs any thing but entire approval of the existing Government and its measures. No en thusiasm prevails in its favour ; and even the inspir ing arrival and landing of the British troops and their subsequent reviews did not call forth any very warm symptoms of public joy. The populace viewed with indifference the men who ought to have been hailed as their preservers, and seemed to regard with as little in terest their taking possession of the forts, as they troubled themselves with what were to be the future proceedings of the British army. A good deal of this indifference may be attributed to the natural 'character of the Portuguese—but we suspect it has other causes. Men's minds are divided respecting the Constitution, and both parties are at present afraid to show their real principles. In the mean time the appoint ment of Lord BERESFORD to the command of the army, and with authority to communicate direct with the Regency without the intervention of the Minister at War, has given considerable disgust. His Lordshaasppuee.alrl as s to with be t h extremelyunpopular with hi s part on part he is said not to be partial to many of th e mili tary officers now in comm an d, including. Count the public ii) de VILLA FLOE and General CLAUDINO. The success of these officers, if correctly reported in the French Papers, may alter his. Lordship's feeling towards them, and produce a considerable effect in public opinion ; but according to the accounts we have seen from Lisbon to the Bth, it was not then expected that the changes contemplated in the military depart ments would be effected without much discontent. The next arrival from Portugal will give us more in sight into the real state of things ; communications will be more numerous, and we shall thus come at more facts ; but, certainly, from those now bef ore us, we are not inclined to augur very favourably of the stability of the present Government. Of the military operations, nothing seems to have been correctly known at Lisbon. N o general engage ment had been fought, and until the successes of the C o nstitutionalists, at the beginning of this month, when the Rebels were compelled to re• cross the ,Mon dego, facts were against all the official reports, the Rebels having till then continued 'to advance. If, however, the French news should he confirmed, the aspect of the war will be totally changed, and the .Rebels may find it difficult to maintain themselves, .even as Guerillas, in the Portuguese territory. It was supposed at Lisbon, that our army would shortly quit that city, for the purpose of garrisoning all the fortified places. Contracts had been made for supplies for one month only, and Tenders were called for, for furnishing mules. In our Paper of yesterday we gave the particulars of an Inquest held _in Dean-street, Soho-square, on the body of ELIZABETH COLLINS, a fine young woman, who, it appeared, had literally died of starvation. It has seldom fallen to our lot to describe a case of more intense misery. After a night passed in the street during the extreme inclemency of the present season, this un fortunate creature, without having tasted food for three days, seems to have met an acquaintance, who procured for her the shelter of a house, a comfort of which she had been deprived by her inability to pay the rent due to her landlady. Fro'in this place of refuge also she ran every risk of being expelled, by the charitable apprehensions of its owner, who thought that she was dying, and was therefore desirous of previously turning her out. Here deserted by her fl.; :lid who bad to attend a concert at the Robin Hood and unable to procure a morsel of bread, this child of misfortune died of sheer starvation at the early age of twenty-one. And yet all this happened in a country abounding with Overseers, and which has paid as much as Seven Millions of Poor-rates in the course of a year. - Surely there must be something vicious in a system, where a profuse expenditure cannot prevent such me lancholy results. What worse could happen in a country such as Scotland, where - Poor Rates are little known even by name ? But we should not say worse—for we never recollect any thing half so bad occurring in that country. We think, indeed, the chances rather against Scotland's producing a parallel case, for there, charity is not frozen in its source, by forced contributions; and if such a case as the present were to occur, the sufferer would at all events escape the aggravating cir cumstances of official insolence from parochial autho-. rities. Insult may be added to injury, and the over- DAY AT ONE 0 CLOCK PRICES OF STOCKS THI Bank Stork 3 pet:Cent. Red 79 % 1 4 3 per Cent. Cons. 78% 9% S% EqA 34 per Cent: - Ditto'Red. .. 86% 4 4 per Cent.
