The mercantile letters from Constantinople re veieed y e sterday, though not so recent in date by several days as the Government despatches, are un usually curious and important, from the detailed pic ture they give of the state of feeling, both of the Turkish Government and the Christian population, on the areivel of the news of the battle of Navarin. On these subjects no account on which the least de pendence could be placed had vet been obtained. The intelligence of the destruction of the Turkish fleet reached the Ambassadors of the Allied Powers eleven days after it occurred—i. e. on the 31st of October ; and the first step taken by them was to invite a conference, that it might be determined what measures it was prudent fur them to adopt. They aver* in entire ignorance whether the Porte had yet received any intelligence of the disaster. The Am bassadors, who seem to have been 'in great per plexity how to proceed, came to no resolution on that day, and met again on the morning of the Jst of November, to renew their deliberations. While thus engaged, they were surprised by learning that a message had been sent from the Reis Effendi to the respective Embassies, to de sire the attendance of an interpreter from each of them. The request was complied with, and no doubt remained in the minds of the Ambassadors, on learning it, that the Porte had received the des patches from Ibrahim Pacha with the account of his misfortune. The instructions to the interpreters Were, however, most precise, not in any manner to commit theinselt es by remarks of any nature what soever ; they were merely to hear the communicas lion of the Reis Effendi, and to make a report ac cordingly to the Ambassadors. Th© description of the interview between the interpreters and the Reis Effendi varies in a trifling degree in the letters we have perused; but that Minister seems to have con fined himself to interrogatories put to ascertain if the Ambassadors knew of the battle. He told the interpreters that reports were afloat of a destructive affair having occurred at Navarin, and asked them whether or not the Porte was at war with the ahree Allied Powers ? The interpreters, in pursuance of the instructions given to them, met all his observe- lions with the remark, that they had been sent solely to hear what communication his Excellency had to make, which they would report to the Ambas eadors, and bring him their reply. It is said that when the interpreters first presented themselves, the Reis Effendi observed that he had sent for them se parately, but as they had come together he would make one communication do for all. Nothing fur ther of importance passed. The reply of the Am bassadors was sent the same afternoon. .In their communication they admitted the occurrence of the disaster at Navarin, but added their conviction, how ever that event was to be deplored, that it had been entirely brought on through the fault of the Turkish commander. Extracts from the despatches trans mitted by the respective Admirals were added to prove the truth of that allegation. This noto from the Ambassadors was received with great coolness by the Reis Effendi, who is re ported only to have made the following observation upon it—" They acknowledge, then, at length, that they have done it; very well! the truth of the mat ter will come out in time." The interpreters then retired. At this period there are good grounds for believing that 6e Porte was not yet in possession of despatches from Ibeahim Pacha, and that the only accounts re ceived were from the Pacha of Smyrna, collected from the c ommunications made to the English resi dents in that place. On the morning of the 2d - ult. the British Consul caused an intimation to be conveyed to the principal merchants in Constantinople of the very critical po sition in which affairs were placed, that they might be enabled to take what steps they, deemed prudent for their own security. The Consul could not take :upon himself the ieoponlibility of advising what ought to be done ; but in his communication he ven tured the opinion that the merchants had no just grounds for apprehension. It was impossible, how ever, in a case where such extensive interests were set stake. but that individual instances of great terror steel e.arrn should occur. While some demonstra tions were anxiously looked for of the real intentions of the Divan, some events of minor consequence oc 4.urred, which increased the general apprehension by appearing to augur an untevourable result. At Galan, on the morfiing of the 3d, il2e porters were eelleeted together, by the order, as was presumed, of the Capitan Paella, who was present amoi.g them, and they proceeded shortly afterwards, to del spoil a war9house, belonging to one of the mer *chants a large quantity of muskets, which were knowe to be deposited there, the Government hav ing, ec:rne days before, been engaged in a treaty for the purchase of them. Some of the more timid, too, among the merchants in Pera, baying commenced a partial removal of their effects, a positive order was issued to the llama's, or porters, not to carry goods .away for any persons whatever. On the following morning it was ascertained that no fi r mans would beb granted for ships to clear the Straits. This, of seourse, removed from the Christians all chance of escaping from Constantinople, and the least cou rageous were compelled to await the result. In Galata, where the French merchants generally take up their residence, the greatest and most general alarm seems lo have existed, because the merchants of that country are perhaps more completely domi ciliated in Turkey than any others ; but on receiving some encouraging assurances from their Ambasea. elors, the apprehension subsided. The embargo on vessels at Constantinople exten ded w all neutrals as well as to those of the Allied P o wers. It is left in some doub t, therefore, whe ther the proeeeding has the threatening and hostile import at first aecribed to it. The , more judicious among the merchants express gratification, mn one respect, at its having been retorted to, because it .bas prevented that confusion which must have arisen from any general attempt, on the part of the Chris , tians, to remove their property, which, after all, might have been easily detained, were the Porte so disposed, after placing it on board ship. The 3d ult. was occupied by the three Ambas sadors in discuesions on their situation, at which, for dee fast time, the Austrian Internuncio assisted. It Was rumoured that the dragoman, or interpreter of the Anstria.n Ambassador, had subsequently been eevenel times at th e office of the Reis Effendi, and that be bad even been ,admitted to one of the sit tings of the Divan, but nothing definite transpired. On the following day the discussions were re newed, the Austriani Internuncio• being again pre.. sent, and the interpreters of the three Ambassadors had another interview with the Reis Efrendi, but were very indifferently' received, and no progress whatever was made. The attention of the whole Christian population was most anxiously fixed on the respecting which some proceedings of the Divan, statements got into circulation on the sth, which began to inspire hopes that time storm would blow over. 'The 's t ate of political parties in Tvakey is a somewhat novel s es well, as interesting subject, and would appear to be iervond the scope of ordinary ob servation, yet the facts we are about to men tion ma y be relied on, we think, as perm authentee. The •.Divan is said to be divided inlo two ene for war, the other against it ; parties — ;it time head of the former is the Sultan himself, whilst the Seraskier Pacha is the leader of the pcact- - yarty. l e a Turkish Divan it will appear no wonder that the Sultan's party should possess the ascendancy, the natural supposition being, that he could not, , ualer any other alternative, long continue Sultan ; but although this was decidedly the case so as the danger remained at a distance, the nearer Pproaeh of it hi s a mate rial alt erat i on ; ulit is now said, produced par tisans of thee_ Sultan,7llho supported his o so the Divan," van, ' have had tie that some o f the pinine in b • courage to declare in pri-- .vate that they Were friendl y to concession. It is , a id further, that at th e recant sittings of the Divan, w hi c h at this crisis we re held tWAyt the pacific party ha d bee n acquiring strengeh, On the exertions o f v, p Rho appear to oiseee a p - this part, Powerful Interest in the issue, tke merchants place great reliance. In consequence of the turn the deliberations of the Divan have taken, various reports were in circula tion, one of which was that a change in the Minis try (the usual solution in Turkey as elsewhere of a political difficulty) was about to take place, and that the Reis Effendi and the Capitan Pacha would both go out. Further, it was rumoured that the grand question of peace or war was to be referred, accord ing to some, to the joint decision of the Grand Vi zier, the Mufti, and the Seraskier Pacha; accord ing to others, to that of the Mufti alone ; either of which would augur well,--indeed any disposal of the question which removed it from the control of the Sultan himself. It is most gratifying to find that not the slightest excitement has occurred on this occasion among the lower orders in Constantinople ; it did not even produce an expression of hostility against the Franks. This is owing, without doubt, to the suppression of the Janissaries, and to the superior discipline and organisation of the army which has succeeded to that taw. Under the old system, it would have been impossible for any Christian to have appeared in the streets with safety. Since the above was written, commercial advices .have reached the City from Constantinople, by way of Odessa, of the date of the 12th ult. They do not, unfortunately, throw much further light on political affairs. It seems that the Captains of two Russian vessels, who were particularly anxious to get away with their cargoes, had applied very urgently to their Ambassador to obtain clearances for them if possible, declarii.: it to be their inten tion, if not procured, to sail without them and incur the risk. The Ambassador declined applying at that time for the firmans, but recommended them to wait patiently, as he thought that in a few days ' there would be no difficulty. They chose,however, the other alternative, and, having passed the forts noticed, whether by accident or design, got away in safety. Assurances had been given by the Consuls of the respective Christian Powers to the merchants, their countrymen, that whatever might be the deci sion of the general question, the safety of persons and property would be guaranteed. The advice' received from Smyrna are dated the 30th of October. No inconvenience has been in curred there, any more than at Constantinople, by the Franks. On the first alarm they bad commenced the embarkation of their property, but the Pacha interfered with assurances that they might rely on the most perfect security, if they did not, by such indiscretion, create a different state of things • on which confidence was restored. The only Tur kish ship saved from the destruction at Navarin had ar rived at Smyraa. This was a corvette, which sur rendered to the Russians, and was brought in by a Russian crew.—Times. Last week the Duchess of BEDFORD and family left Invereshie for England.—Perth Courier. TILE WEATHER.—During the past fortnight, the weather has been very stormy both in the northern and southern parts of the island. There has been a serious loss of shipping in the north; and during the week, a number of vessels, after having been several days at sea, were forced back to Liverpool by severe gales in the Channel. On Tuesday night most of the vessels were driven from their anchorage in Leith Roads, and forced to seek the shelter of Inchkeith. Last night was very stormy, and the wind was much higher than it has been any night this winter.-- Scotsman. TERRIFIC GALES.—The weather was so very tempestuous during yesterday evening, that consider able anxiety prevail:A with respect to the packets. There are, however, none due but this day's. A report was current this morning, that one of the City of Dublin Com pany's Liverpool steamers was lost. We made it our business to enquire into the fact, and find that by the Li verpool mail, which arrived last night, the agent received a l e tter that both the vessels, which were at the other side, were snug in harbour, and had not ventured to sail. We fear, however, from the violence of the gales, there will be melancholy news from thq various ports.--Dublin Warder. FURIOUS GALE.—On Wednesday the 28th the St. Andrew steam-boat, Capt. LEITCH, master, left Belfast for Glasgow, and had not proceeded far in the Channel when she encountered a most severe gale of wind, which continued for several hours to blow so violently that every sail was torn to shreds, while the sea ran so high that it was impassible to distinguish the different light houses. So high, indeed, did the sea run, that the fun nel of the vessel was, to the height of about 15 feet, ren dered by it of a colour as if it had been whitewashed.— Owing to unremitting exertions, the vessel weathered the storm without farther damage than the loss of her sails,— Glass/ow Herald. The Zephyr, of Brixham, from Youghall with cattle and pigs, having encountered the dreadful gale of Friday last, put into Swansea on Sunday, and on open ing the bold I£3 very fine fat beasts, intended for the Lon don market, that had got loose from their slings by the rolling of the vessel, and nine pigs, were found dead, and were obliged to he thrown overboard. The loss is estimated at upwards of 40U—Cambrian. The Venus, lately wrecked at Freshwater West, has been knocked to pieces by the late gales, and the ma terials sold for the benefit of all concerned. There has been 'saved in the cargo, about 100 tons of iron (bolt and bar, sheet, and nail-rods), 17 boxes of tin, and a quantity of wood hoops. A good deal of the cargo is stranded, and a portion may, perhaps, hereafter be dug out, the owner has therefore abandoned possession of it to the Agent for Lloyd's.— Cambrian. A very valuable French brig, called La Seine, bound from Havre to St. Petersburgb, was wrecked on the west coast of Jutland during the late gales. By great exertions the major part of the cargo was saved.— Amongst other items there were 100 cases, each contain ing six deem of the finest champaigne, for his Majesty the Emperor of Russia ; as also several costly articles of dress for the EmpreseaXother. The salvage will prove a fortu nate thing for the poor fishermen who so laudably exerted themselves on the occasion. The ship-owners of Sunderland have suffered severely from the late inauspicious weather. During the violent gale of Wednesday se'nnight damage was done, to the extent it is said of 0,0001. to the shipping which then Antercd the port, by running foul of each other, and on Suuday evening last, in consequence of the flood in the Wear, occasioned by the late rains, several vessels lying in Sunderland harbonr were forced from their moorings, and driven with tremendotfe force against each other. The crash occasioned by their colii , :an near to the iron bridge, is represented by those who witnessed it, as being truly frightful, and damage equal to that incurred on the Wed nesday preceding, is stated to have been suffered. Two vessels were sunk in the harbour, and the amount of loss in bowsprits, yards, and rigging, is very great indeed. A plan was unbmitted to the ship-owners of the Wear, a year or two ago, to form 4 spacious dock on the north side of the river where vessels might lie in safety : it is to be la mented that a proposal so replete with advantages has not been carried into effect.--Durham Advertiser. MELANCHOWC ACCIDENT.--On Friday last, a boat belonging to Preston?pans sailed from that place with a eargo of oysters, for a port in the north of England. On Saturday it was overtaken by a Revere storm, and on Sun day morning, when attempting to take Hartlepool harbour at low water, through a tremendous swell, it foundered, and the unfortunate crew, consisting of five young men, were drowned. Four of the sufferers belonging to Preston pans and one to Fisherrow. Three of them have left 1 widows, two of whom have large families.--Scotsman. FATAL EFFECT OF PASSION.—On Wed nesday evening a dreadful affair occurred at Mullion, near Helston. A dispute arose between a farmer of that place, n ejnel Jinemran Jose, and his nephew Faawcrs, the son of hie b;.atlaer Wtr,max, when the uncle who happened to h ave a gimlet i;;;Lis hand, in the heat of passion thrust it into the d temp e le of h.:a unfortunate nephew, who almost i natan tly expir.—Cornwall Gazette. FATAL RENCONTRE BETWEEN POACHERS AND G a are-xl-EPRlssa--On Monday, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, an inquest was held at the house of Mr. GEORGE PRATT, the Bull Inn , Clifton, by I. L C STOCKS, jun. Esq. one of the coroners of the West Riding, on the body of URIAII Wo3lEalq.E7, who was killed in Kirklees Park, on the night of the Preceding Friday.—The Jury retired for about three hours, and then returned, with a verdict of " Wilful Murder against J AMES SCHOLFS, ISAIAH d ivers other JOSEPH BaooKt, and SAM UEL SMITH, and divers other persons to the Jurors yet unknown." The four I prisoners, against whom a verdict of wilful m urder was found, were sent to York Castle, o n Wednesday afternoon. —Leeds Mercury. FOREIGN INTELLICrENM HAMBURGH AND DUTCH PAPERS. BERLIN, Nov. 30.—The first account of the battle of Navarin was received at St. Petersburgh on the 19th. It was sent from Florence, and contains a short extract from the report of the British Admiral, and therefore affords no new particulars respecting the Russian division. GRONINGEN, Nov. 29.—The number of deaths con tinues considerably to exceed that of births. In the week ending the 29th, the number of births was only 13, and that of deaths 30. THE HAGUE, Dec. 6.—ln the Second Chaml er of Ne States-General, the Order of the Day was the discussion of the law apportioning the land tax among the provinces for the year 1829, and that for relieving those provinces which are taxed too high in proportion. The Minister of Finance was present to defend the laws. The first was adopted, after a long debate, by a majority of 69 to 15. The debate on the second law is not concluded. The Zeernan's Hoop, Captain P. Krany, is lying at the Helder, ready for sea, and is to take troops to Batavia.-- Dutch Paper, Dec. 7. BERLIN, Nov. 30.—Our Gazette contains a notifica tion from the Minister of Police and Justice, dated the 28th, which announces the sentence passed upon several persons who belonged to the Association, called The As sociation of the Young," which is one of,* secret societies that have been discovered. They are *demised to im prisonment in a fortress for different terms, viz. eleven per sons for fifteen years ; two for fourteen years; three for thirteen ; two for twelve; one for eleven ; one for ten ; two for nine ; three for eight ; and one for six years.

Marshal Count Sandels, late Governor of Norway, arrived here yesterday. It is affirmed, that that high office has been offered to Admiral Count Platin, but that he has de clined, being unwilling to give up the direction of the Gotha Canal till that great national work is completed. Report seems greatly to have exaggerated a circumstance which occurred at Christiania on the celebration of the Union of the two Kingdoms, on the 4th instant, when an indifferent prologue was hissed in the Theatre by some young men, animated by their participation in the festivi ties of the day. Some persons, easily Armed, considered this as an indication of dislike to the Nation and to the Union. According to accounts that are daily arriving, the same day was celebrated at Drammer and other places in Norway with the greatest enthusiasm, and the most ardent wishes for their Majesties ail the Royal Family, and for the Swedish Nation; and on the Bth, being the Queen's birth-day, the city of Christiania was illuminated. His Majesty has ordered strict inquiry to be made into the cir cumstance just mentioned. e' Four couriers have been dispatched from Stockholm and Christiania. 1-IAmauRGII, DEC. S.—The Upper Elbe is now covered with ice, and this morning people crossed it on foot from the Hoopt. The passage to Harburg is also interrupted. BERLIN, DEC. 2.—Accounts from Vienna, of the 28th ult., received by express, say that the Ambassadors of the three Powers left Constantinople on the 15th November : according to some they departed by sea.—Harnburqh. Papers, Dec. 4. - - - - ST. PETERSBURGH, Nov. 21.—His Majesty the Em peror has conferred on Admiral Sir edward Codrington the Order of St. George, of the Second Class ; and on Admiral de Rigny the Order of St. Alexander Newsky.— Count Heydon is promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral, and receives the Order of St. George, of the Third Clam. According to accounts from the Army of Georgia, of the 28th of October, our troops had entered Tauris, the resi dence of the Presumptive Heir to the Throne of Persia.— Alacar Khan, son-in-law to the Schab, and his Prime Minister, had been ordered to defend that place, but when our troops approached, he was abandoned by the Sarda slant, and obliged to fly. However, our cavalry advancing with celerity on all sides, he was not able to escape. He concealed himself in a house in the suburbs, where he was discovered, and obliged to surrender to the Co‘sarks who pursued him. Among the prisoners is also Kelo Hussayn Khan, of Talyche. We found at Tauris thirty-one cannon, nine mortars, two falconets, 1,016 muskets, 10,250 balls, a quantity of artillery stores, and about 6,000 chetwerts of wheat and barley, besides ammunition of all descriptions. General Paskewitch had scarcely received the news of the taking of Tauris, when a messenger arrived with a letter from Abbas Mirza, in which the latter declared that he was provided with full powers from the Schah, at:d would himself enter into negotiations for peace. The place where they are to be carried on will be immediately fixed. On the 28th, General Paskewitch was at Mazandar, and in tended to set out the day after for Tauris with his van guard, and to let all his troops follow. 13cussers, Dec. 7.—The anniversary of the birth-day of his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange was celebrated yesterday, in the manner ordered by the Magistrates. A project of law has been presented to the Second Chamber of the States General, containing some modifica tions in the Tariff of Customs. grociatotm, Nov. 23.—The official Gazette ennouneee that the King has approved of the measure taken by the Chancellor in prohibiting the publication of the Journal Argus 111. It will he succeeded by another Journal, to be called the .Ncu, Argus. We have already seen French corn offered for sale in the market of Amsterdam, togetLer with those of the north of Europe. Another circumstance equally remarkable is, that while corn is sent from various parts of Europe to Great Britain, we receive some from that country. The Countess of Elgin arrived on the 2d at Ostend, with a cargo of wheat from London.—Brussels Paper, Dec. 8. STORMY NmirT.—Last night there was such a storm of rain and wind, as has not for a long time been experienced in this city. We fear that ere long we shall have disastrous accounts from sea.— Glasgow Free Press. INSURRECTION EXTRAORDINARY.-It ap pears that for some time the girls who are confined at the wrong side of the House of Industry, have strongly re sented attempts that are being made, by teachers whom they think unqualified, to impart to them religious or moral instruction. Monday the smothered mutiny broke out with a degree of fury that entirely ba ffl ed the ordinary powers of the House. It was found necessary to procure the intervention of the Mayor, one of the Sheriffs, and the entire of the City Police, by whom the insurrection was, of course, quelled.— Waterford Mirror. A LION KILLED BY A YOUTH OF FOUR TRIM—When the Regiment now stationed at our Bar racks was encamped one evening near a Burmese town, about tlit' dawn of morn, a lion, of tremendous size, ap proached to the skirt of the camp, and dexterously stole away the stripling, and after conveying him a short dis tance in his mouth by one of his arms, he was discovered by the sentinel and some of the soldiers, who- were about to level their muskets at the beast, Lot the lad perceiving this, beckoned them to desist, and immediately drew from one of his pockets, with the hand at liberty, a sharp point ed clasp knife, which be instantly thrust into the animal's heart, and the beast, after mangling his arm with his jaws, dropped down dead.

We received last night Hamburgh Papers to the 4th, Dutch Papers to the 7th, and Brussels Papers to Ihe Bth inst., extracts from which are inserted in a preceding column. An article, dated Berlin, Dec. 2d, states that accounts from Vienna of the 28th ult. received by express, mention that the Ambassadors of the three Powers left Constantinople on the 15th Nov. According to some they departed by sea. This is the same report which reached . us through the Augsburgh Papers. On the receipt of the intelligence of the battle of Navarin, the Emperor of RusgiA conferred on Sir E. CODRINGTON the Order of St. George of the second class, and on Vice-Admiral de RIGNY the drder of St. Alexander Newsky. His MAJESTY promoted Count HEYDEN to the rank of Vice-Admiral, and conferred on him the Order of St. George of the third class. The reports which prevailed yesterday of ABBAS DZI RZA having sued for peace after the Russian troops entered Tauris are confirmed. Negotiations for that object would immediately commence.

VIENNA, Nov. 24.—Three Months, 9 49. We have copied into our pages, from our Cotemporary, the Times, a very interesting article, giving a detailed account of the state of affairs at Constantinople, as described in mercan tile letters received from thence. It refers prin cipally, however, to a period prior to the 7th, and consequently antecedent to the date of the last official advices. We believe that no intelli gence from Constantinople later than the com mercial letters received yesterday, some of which were dated the 12th, have reached this country, excepting the Reports, by way of Bucharest, of advices having been received there of the depar ture of the Allied Ambassadors OR the 15th ult. The non-receipt of further despatches from them is not easily explained, unless it should prove that the Ambassadors had actually quitted Con stantinople by sea, and instead of proceeding to any port of the Black Sea had passed through the Dardanelles into the Mediterranean, in which case a longer period would necessarily elapse before despatches could be received from them. This seems to be the only reasonable way by which the delay in the receipt of further com munications from Mr. STRATFORD CANNING to the Government at home, can be accounted for. Since writing the above, we understand that a report prevails in the City that our Ambassador has arrived at Corfu. No such intelligence had reached Government at the time our paper went to press. It is said in letters from Vienna that the Army of Observation which was to be assembled on the frontiers of Hunga r y will be very large: two regiments of Bohemian Cavalry had received orders to proceed thither ; and a great number of Officers, absent on leave, have received imme diate orders to join their respective corps• Philadelphia Papers have been received to the 21st ult. from which we extract the following : It is stated in the Portland Gazette, that the Governor of Maine has taken measures to assert oar rights with regard to the land claimed by the British. What these measures are is not said, but as the Gazette alludes to an apparent intention of the British to make a point of legal possession b the exercise of jurisdiction, one of the measures may be supposed calculated to countervail or neutralize this purpose. By the late fire at Mobile, the heart of the town has been destroyed; the destruction occasioned by its ravages has been estimated at from half to a million of dollars, but it will be impossible to say, for some time yet, any thing near the actual amount of the loss. Fortunately this awl event was unattended with the lose of lives. • A letter from Barcelona of the Ist instant states, that FBILDIWAND had declared the port an entreput previous to his entry into that eity on the 4th instant.
