NAPOLEON IN BERLIN. After the Prussian troops had evacuated Ber -1 in, the administration of foreign affairs was car ried on there by Prince Hatzfeldt, one of thf duties of whose office was to despatch a (lON report to the King so long as the communica tions remained open. At noon on the 24th of October, the French advanced guard entered Berlin, and the next day was followed by the corps of Marshal Davoust ; and on Sunday, the 26th, a deputation went to Potsdam, to com pliment Napoleon on his arrival there. Prince flatzfeldt was at the head of this deputation, and was received, as is said on such occasions, " very graciously." In the evening of the same day, the Emperor went to Charlottenburg, and at four o'clock in the afternoon of the 27th, made his public entry into Berlin. At the Brandenhurgh gate he was received by a depute • tion of the chief magistrates, who came to pre sent him with the keys of the city : without deigning to honour them with a look, he rushed by, and they were told to follow him to the palace ; there Napoleon received Prince Hatz feldt with great coldness, and finally told him that he did not require his services. Astonished at this reception, the Prince went home, and sought in vain the key of his house ; the next day an officer of the gendarmerie waited upon him with an arrest, and conducted him on foot to the Palace guard-house. The Princess, ig norant of the cause of this arrest, hastened to the palace of the Princess Ferdinand, and there re ceived from her husband a note written in pencil, mentioning what had occurred, and beseeching her to go herself to the Emperor. She flew to the palace, and found that Napoleon had ridden out to inspect the troops of Davoust. One of the Royal servants, who knew her, told her that Duroc was at home, and conducted her to him ; she was most kindly received, and Duroc had the Prince brought from the guard-house into hits own room, at the same time promising to take an opportunity of speaking to Napoleon, whose return being just at this moment an nounced by the drums, he had only time to lead the Princess to a place which the Emperor must pass, and went to meet his master. When Na poleon approached the Princess, he inquired her name, and immediately ordered M. de Segur to conduct her to Marshal Berthier, but she had only been there a few minutes when he sent for her. The antechamber was filled with officers of the Emperor's suite ; beyond this were yet two apartments to cross before she could reach Napoleon's cabinet. As she opened the door, he came towards her and said, " You tremble, Madam ! approach, I am not so formi dable." He then inquired after her family, &c., and conversed with her for more than half an hour upon all sorts of indifferent subjects; at length the Princess reminded him of the object of her visit, upon which lie asked her, whether she knew the cause of her husband being arrested ; she replied in the negative ; he then rang for Berthier, from idiom he demanded Prince Hatzfeldt's letter. " You shall judge yourself, madam," said he; " if this letter is your husband's, he is guilty; if not, I will give you all possible satisfaction." The Princess, having looked at the letter, an swered, " The hand-writing is certainly that of my husband, but he is a man of honour,—he is well known,--he can have written nothing that could compromise him ; let him be called, Sire, and he will justify himself." Upon this Napo leon took the letter, folded it, and returned it to the Princess with these words, " Here, take the letter, and then I shall possess no proof agains your husband—lead him home, he is free.' Here ended the farce, which, probably to in• crease the effect, appeared to have been first ar• ranged as a drama. , -•- United Service Journal. CANADA SPORTING CLUB. (From the Montreal Herald.) BAG Fox UUNt.—The bag fox hunt of Wednesday last may, by some, be considered as a total failure in this club. Reynard was turned out precisely at ten a.m., and about twenty minutes' law was given him before the dogs were laid on. He appeared in the very best order, rather under size, sleek, and nimble, with a noble brush, that brought up the rear like some fairy pennon, full and flowing—and fairy indeed it proved, as the result of the day's sport will abundantly exhibit ; for it appeared to have swept every vestige of scent and savour of his footsteps, and naught remained as a guide to his movements to dog or huntsmen. This was, indeed, a most serious disappointment to the many who were assembled to witness what was anticipated by all would be rare sport ; and the rarer, indeed, such kind of sport is, the better it will be for this club. The morning had all the mildness of an au tumnal day—not a breath of air seemed in mo tion. The ground was completely saturated with previous rains, and the general impression was, that it would be an admirable scenting day. But, when the dogs reached the spot where reynard was unbagged, it was like the confu sion and dispersion of the Babel scene. They spread about in every direction, without knowing which way to lead off; and such a gabberini , they set up, that it might convince a reasonable one there was foul play going on. Reynard was turned out in the field on the east side of the road after passing the bridge. He was no sooner at liberty than he immediately struck for the road, took to the opposite field, and suddenly tacked to the south, and was last seen by the sportsmen enjoying a slight respite, and an ap parently agreeable view on a small hillock, about a quarter of a mile from the first starting place. The dogs, however, could not follow him even to this spot ; but, on being led u?, gave due notice of his having been there, although they could not lead away. They now turned towards the road, and after much close examination, crossed it, and, occasionally giving tongue, reached the river side. They finally came up by the Nuns' Farm-house, and were then called off by the huntsmen, and taken back to where the fox was last seen ; and the small stream was closely examined on either side, to ascertain whether he had crossed it on the St. Gabriel Farm, but with no success. It was now decided by the sportsmen that reynard had taken to cover, and it would be best to strike for the large wood.— A part of the dogs, however, seemed to be dis satisfied with their former examination of the river side, and led again down upon us, andafter passing the Nuns' house, they touched upon reynard's footsteps, and breaking away, they re crossed the road ; but with much difficulty touch ing upon his track only occasionally, they creased the small stream back of St. Denis, and were at fault in a ploughed field. Here Mr. Ogilvy had seen the fox pass but a short time previous, and kindly pointed out the direction re) nard had taken. The dogs experienced the utmost difficulty in tracing him along, occasion ally sounding a cheering note to encourage the sportsmen. In this way reynard was tracked About six miles, wh t . was found quite useless to pursue further, ai he sport was closed for the day. It was q; c. dark beforc the party reached home. It can only be observed, in ecitclusion, that the dogs were indefatigable in their work, and gave the greatest satisfaction by their untiring engagedness. They did as much as dogs could do, and more could not be expected of them.— That the day was a bad one for a scent was fully proved, although much to the dissatisfaction of all who had ventured forth for diversion. Had such expedients been adopted as are usually re sorted to in the case °la bag fox-chace in Eng land, fine sport might have been enjoyed. Ex perience, however, is a better schoolmaster than precept ; and hereafter it is to be hoped that similar disappointments will not occur. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From tke Massager des Chambres of Wednesday. FRANKFORT, DEC. 23.—1 t is no longer doubtful that Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg has obtained the suffrages of the three Powers (parties to the treaty of London), to have the sovereignty of Greece. Prince Leopold, the King, his father-in law, and the English Cabinet, appear to desire that he should have the title of King, but France and Russia have not given their assent to this wish, hav ing already expressed on several occasions their /pinion that the Royal title and dignity had been lavished with too much ease to certain Powers of the fourth order. The honours of Royalty have become, as it were, vulgar in Germany, so that the Duke of Oldenburgh of the Royal House of Holstein has not yet thought fit to make use of the grand ducal title which includes that of Royal Highness, and which was given to him by the Congress at Vienna. PARIS, DEC. 30.—The Moniteur of this day con tains two ordinances, one dated the 2d, which regu lates the application of the sum of 37,866,500 francs for the special credit granted by the law of the 2d of August, 1829, for the Departments of Ecclesias tical Affairs and Public Instruction during the year 1830; the other, dated the 6th of December, regu latiNg the application of the sum of 8,116,000 francs, granted by the same law for the ordinary expenses of the department of Foreign Affairs during the year 1830. NAPLES, DEC. 14.---The extraordinary expences caused by the journey of his Majesty have rendered an augmentation of taxes necessary, and caused ge neral discontent. The severity of the winter, and the high price of wheat and maize, give reason to apprehend serious troubles. It is to calm the po-: pular effervescence, which becomes more and more manifest, especially in the Abruzzos and the Terra de Lavoro, that our Ministers have invited Admiral Heiden to come and pass the winter with . all. his fleet in our fort. The hotel which the Russian Admiral is to occupy, is already fitted up, and the necessary preparations are making to accommodate the Russian ships ha the port. It is said, that his Sicilian Majesty has desired another remittance of one million of ducats. It seems that the million sent beforehand to Spain will scarcely suffice to pay the expence of the fetes." FRINCII FUNDS.—PARIS, Dec.

Thus his Highness is placed at the head of the War and Navy departments, which from January 1, 1830, will be superintended by directors•general—viz., for the Marine, Admiral Woollenbeck ; and for the Army, Lieutenant-Ge neral de Ebrens. The Portuguese emigrants, who have been at Bruges since the month of May, began to leave that city on the 20th. All the subalterns and privates women, and children, went to Ostend to embark, it is said, for Rio de Janeiro, with the others who are still at Ostend. The officers and private indi%iduals have remained at Bruges. Many of our rivers are frozen over so as to bear foot passengers.

A supplement to the Norwegian Gazette of the 30th of November contains a notice to no fewer than 278 debtors of the Norwegian Bank, to repay the principal and interest of the sums lent them, within four weeks, on pain of having their real property sold. The MeeMorgave says, " As we find the magis trates and representatives of the town of Drammen one of the least commercial towns in Norway, on the list, this notice may probably be considered in the same light as certain notices of our Bank, otherwise our Norwegian brethren must be reduced to a lamentable condition by the loan of the Bank." HANOVER, DEC. 20.—1 t is said that our Govern ment intends to appoint a Director-General of all the high schools in the kingdom. M. Kohlerausch, Councillor and Director of Schools in the service of Prussia (a Hanoverian by birth), is said to have re ceived an invitation to fill this office, and will pro bably accept of it.

A z, • , - ele t t rt * a , • . LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2, 1830. Despatches were received at the Foreign Office this morning from H. ASHTON, Esq., the British Charge d'Affaires at Rio Janeiro ; and from the English Consul resident at Buenos Ayres. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 26th Dec. contains an account of a splendid entertainment given by the French Ambassador to the Turkish Authorities; but it does not seem to have passed off with such eclat as that given by Sir ROBERT GORDON : CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 27. On the 22d instant Count Guillemenot celebrated th e Saint's day of the King of France by a grand ball and supper in the hotel of the Legation, which was splendidly illuminated. The entertainment was in every respect brilliant, and the difference between this and the celebrated fete on board the Blonde was so remarkable, that it must not be passed over in silence. The Turkish great men, Ministers and guests, were not mixed with the European ladies, as on board the frigate; they kept in a room by themselves, and there conversed with the Ambas sadors and Ministers. Sometimes one or another went alone into the drawing-room to see the dancing. Their attendants were wholly separated from them : A room was set ap art for smoking. No Mussulman took part in the ball, except Arend Bey, Aid-dc tamp to the Sultan, who danced a cotillion in Eu ropean shoes. When supper was served up, the Turkish grandees and Ministers were conducted by the European Ambassadors to the table (for seventy) prepared for them, and so placed that an European Minister was seated among three or four Turks, and an interpreter. The ladies took their seats altoge ther, its the centre of the table. No Turk was asked to drink wine, when a toast was proposed to the health of the Sovereigns, on which every one arose. Sherbet was presented to thern, but some preferred Champagne. The Mahometan guests were Silihdar, Bekir Aga, Caliwedschi Buschi (a Colonel of the Sultan's Guard), his two Aid-de- Cainps, Aroni and Ahmed Bey (two of the Sultan's Chamberlains), the Seraskier Dewlet Naziri, the ('apitan Pacha, NUM Pacha, the Kopyrbaschi, General of Artillery, the Reis Effendi with his Pri• sate Secretary, the Moklubdsch, Secretary of the Grand Vizier, the Chief of his Office, and Terch nifaldschi Effendi, or Chief Master of the Cere- monies. The entertainment will now soon take place which the Sultan is preparing to give to the European Mi nisters, in the Grand Hall of the Divan, in the Arsenal. According to all appearance the Sultan himself will be present to witness the diver sions and European customs, and then to determine how far the permission and introduction of them is compatible with the Mahometan law; for many irregularities that took place on board the Blonde must be highly displeasing to the orthodox suc cessor of the Caliphs. It cannot be denied, that if the steps taken to promote civilization are to be useful, it cannot be effected at the expense of mo rality and of their religious sentiments, which corn. mand reverence among every people not wholly degenerated. The example of decorum and tem perance set by the Europeans would undoubtedly have a favourable influence on the minds of the Orientals; whereas, the charms of temptation, and the transgression of a law consecrated by long and strict observance, must lead to consequences inju rious to morality. Adrianople was evacuated on the 20th by the Russian troops, on receipt of the news of the giving up of Ghuergevo. It is said that the Russian head quarters will be for the winter at Bow gas. Adria nople is to be occupied by regular troops, under Alisch Pacha; the Pacha of Scutari, with his Alba. nians, being ordered by the Sultan immediately to return home. Count Alexis Orloff and M. Butenieff, Russian Charge d'Affaires, arrived here to-day from Ro deilo, on board the Turkish steam-boat. Accounts from Smyrna say, that M. de Ribeau piere is now at Napoli, as well as the President of Greece. The following are extracts from Buenos Ayres Papers to the 10th October inclusive : BUENOS AYRES, SEPT. 26. The news from Patagonia continues to be very distressing : the Indians ►had taken away cattle, and threatened the town of, Del Carmen. The inhahl. tants were in a state of great alarm.

OCT. 10.—Our columns of to-day contain various Government decrees, &c. issued chiefly with the view to raise the credit of the paper currency, and the effects thereof are sensibly felt. Ounces, which during the week were done at 120, are now at 92. The decree inserted in our last, rendering time bargains in specie and in the public funds illegal, unless for value received, will impede if not entirely put a stop to speculations in that way. The for mation of the sinking fund, and the capital for its support, is a bold important measure, and must assist the currency, by taking so much out of cir culation. OCT. 3.—We understand that Mr. Parrish has received by the packet the most complete approba tion from the King's Government of the steps he took, in the month of April last, to resist the at tempts of the delegate authorities to force the British residents in Buenos Ayres to take up arms. On the 27th ult. Colonel Parkew, with thirty men, attacked a party of 300 Indians, two leagues beyond Roses, and succeeded in taking from them about 3,000 head of cattle which they had driven from the different estancias on the left side of the Saloadillo. BUENOS AYRES. The Government has resolved that the sum of 100,000 dollars Six per Cent. Stock, voted to the late Governor Don Manuel Dorrego, is in strict jus tice a debt due by the Republic to his family, and has passed a decree ordering the mode of payment. The widow of Dorrego, acknowledging the re ceipt of this decree, states that her unfortunate hus band, in the short period that intervened between his sentence and the execution of it on the fatal 13th December, had devoted his thoughts to his country, and desirous of alleviating the urgent wants of the province, and rewarding an army which had just returned from gloriously combating for the rights and honour of the country, he had enjoined her to place at the disposal of the Government a third part of the said 100,000 dollars. That an injunction so sacred, on account of the moment in which it was made, renders it her duty to overlook the situation of his two orphan daughters, and she therefore re quests the Government to accept this portion to the said stock. The Government has, however, declined to as cept this generous sacrifice. The following letter has been received from the Agent to the North and South American Coffee-house, dated Buenos Ayres, Oct. 11 : " The Government of this province, since the termination of the civil war, is almost solely occu pied in efforts to restore public credit, especially that of the paper currency ; new taxes have been imposed, and other expedients resorted to, and a sinking fund established for the gradual redemption of the bank-notes. These circumstances, and the probable continuance of peace, have had a corre sponding effect upon the money market. Doubloons, which were at 120 paper dollars, have fallen to 92; and exchange upon England, which was at 7}d. per dollar, is now Sid. The other markets have like wise improved. The new Ministers have a diffi cult task to make head against the poverty and desolation which the late domestic war has occa sioned. The provinces seem disposed to act in concert with the present Government of Buenos Ayres, and there are prospects (distant, perhaps) of returning prosperity. The Gaucho troops of Don Juan Manuel Roses have in greater part re turned to their homes. Lavalle's military have been discharged or dispersed, and Lavelle himself has quitted Buenos Ayres ; such has been the result of the revolution of December last. The party now in power is composed of what may be termed the moderate federals. Garcia, the Minister of Finance, has considerable talents, and is withal an excellent courtier, and can make promises with all the since riiy, and refuse favours with all the grace, of gentle men of that class. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Don Tomas Guido, is a sensible, clever man. We have, however, an Ultra Federal party, who exclaim against the lenity shown to the Unitarians, and call for punishment upon those who put the late unfor tunate Dorrego to death. The Unitarian party are quite chap-fallen, many of them hare left the country, fearing mishaps. The public prints now speak of Governor Dorrego as an illustrious vic tim or martyr,' the pacificator of the Republic,' &c. Posterity will do him justice. The new Go vernment of Buenos Ayres is in some respects stronger than that of Dorrego's, it is not so exposed to the bitter rancour of party as was the latter's, and it from necessity possesses greater powers ; be sides, misfortunes have tamed the nsore violent spirits—the talisman is broken, and events have proved that the Federals have had a more correct knowledge of their own country than the opposing party." We have received the following this morning Prom our Paris Correspondent : " PARIS, DEC. 30. " No further indication of the line of policy to be pursued by the French Cabinet in the approaching Session has been allowed to trans pire since I last wrote to you. All Paris, in fact, from the King to the lowest of his subjects, is at this moment engaged in such a round of feasting and visiting, that there is little time, and not much inclination, for engaging in poli tical or party discussion. It is natural, however, that those who are dissatisfied with the existing order of things should be the first . to break silence ; and from these, accordingly, we have occasional attempts at a renewal of the system of agitation which has been so incessantly pur sued since the accession of the present Ministry, on the Bth of August last. A refusal of the Budget, under certain modifications, appears to be the weapon on which the opponents of the Ministry are to place their chief reliance in the approaching Session ; but, in the mean time, societies continue to be formed in all directions, for the ostensible purpose of resisting illegal taxa tion. These societies appear to me to have acquired an extraordinary degree of importance in the eyes of the public, from the mere opposi- Lion they have received at the hands of the Ministry. That opposition has necessarily im pressed the public with the belief, that some de sign had really been entertained in the Cabinet of levying taxes by unlawful means, since other wise it was not easy to understand how any ne cessity could have existed for the violent and ex traordinary measures adopted by the Ministry, for the purpose of impeding the circulation of the obnoxious resolutions, and afterwards of ? unishing the individuals by whose means the circulation was effected. If the Cabinet had really entertained no such intention as that against which the projected associations were in tended to provide, it might surely have afforded to disregard all the acts and resolutions of such • associations, as undoubtedly they would have been in England, under any Ministry whatever. As ' the Minister has exposed his sensibility to these attacks it was not to be supposed that any indication of weakness would be overlooked or neglected by his numerous, watchful, and well organized antagonists. A new system of agi tation has accordingly been put in motion, in the form of an application by the electors of the Departmental College of the Seine and Oise to their representatives in the Chamber of De puties, Messrs. Berard, Bizemont, Bertin de Veaux, de Jouvencel, Charles de Lameth, the Baron Lepelletier d'Aulnay, and the Baron Oberkampf. The object of the application is to request the representatives of the department to hold a consultation together, on the subject of the expediency of a refusal to pay a tax unauthorised by law, and afterwards to advise their constituents on the subjects. Al though not all belonging to the same political party, nor sitting in the same division of the Chamber of Deputies, the representatives of this important department, after consulting together, have concurred in addressing a joint and unani mous letter to their constituents, in which they express their opinions on the subject submitted to their consideration in strong and pointed, but temperate language. The conclusion of their letter is to the following effect : " Every tax exacted without having previously " I obtained, in terms of the Charter, the consent of " the two Chambers, and the sanction of the " King, or without having been discussed in a "' Chamber of Deputies elected according to the " ' forms prescribed by law, is an extortion forbidden by law, arid liable as such to be repressed. It is "' the duty of every Frenchman attached to our " institutions, and to the august family by whom " ' they have been given us, to refuse such a tax, " ' and to pursue the receivers and collectors of it, " ' or such as would attempt to levy it, before the " Tribunals. The exercise of this right is the legal "' arm which we are authorised to employ for the " purpose of arresting the progress of any guilty or imprudent Minister who should wander from the "' line of honour and duty, and who should show himself unworthy of the Prince who has chosen " ' him, forgetting that the Charter is a pledge of " ' peace to France, and a monument of glory to the "' House of Bourbon.' " You are, no doubt, aware that the bar of this country, as I believe it to be in each of our own three kingdoms, is, in the best sense of the term, an association of liberal-minded individuals. This is a result which seems necessarily to arise from the exercise of a professsion which, if it does not require the highest mental powers, demands, at least, an intimate acquaintance with human nature, when successful appeals are to be made to juries selected from the great mass of the people, and a degree of general knowledge and intelligence beyond the mere technicalities of the profession considerably above either of the other professions, which are usually distin guished as the learned or the liberal. The bar of Paris have lately done themselves the honour of electing the elder Dupin to be the Batonnier, or head of their order, and I do not mean to exaggerate the compliment I propose to pay him, when I compare M. Dupin as a skilful advo cate, a powerful speaker in the Chamber of Deputies, and a man of great and al most universal knowledge, to the gigantic intellect of Henry Brougham. On the occasion of his election the new Batonnier pronounced an inaugural discourse, intended chiefly for the benefit of his younger brethren, which, as it appears to me, would not have been unworthy of the man to whom I venture to com- pare him. I shall take the liberty of extracting a single passage, for the purpose of affording you some idea of the mind from which it emanates. • It is from the peroration : " ' Gentlemen, and dear brethren, let us love our " ' profession, it is the surest means of finding suc •• • cess and enjoying happiness ; nay more, let us " endeavour to honour our profession, and with " ' that view let us never fear to form too high an ‘" idea of it. This sentiment can never be im " puted to us for vanity, since it only engenders " fresh obligations. To eialr it is to say that we " can only attain with difficulty all the duties and " the sacrifices it imposes on us, and all that it re ," quires of application of capacity and devotion.— " ' If, after this, the modern remains inferior to' the " ancient bar, it will be our own fault, for great oc " casions of acting and of speaking will not be " wanting to us. In our days, in fact, tke pro " fission of an advocate has acquired additional " importance in the developement of our institu " ' tions, by the establishment of a representative " government, by the publicity of debate, by the " liberty of the Press, and by that national tribune " which, by varying only the forms of language and " ' discussion, is to us a mere continuation of the " profession of an advocate, since it gives us an ad-.. "' ditional cause to defend, the cause of our country. " A Constitutional Government is eminently " the government of law. The word legitimacy, " ' in its widest application, has no other meaning, "' and however railed at by the factious, it will " ' always be that which is most holy and most re " ' spectable in our eyes. Interpreters of the legis " lature, we will know how to watch the terms " with which we ask its support, the friends of " good order and of rule, and therefore the irre " concilable enemies of arbitrary sway, every " ' offended law will find in us defenders. Faithful "' to our oath to the King and to the country, the " ' steady organs of justice and the laws, and cape "' cially of that fundamental law, which we have " sworn, like the King himself, and with him, to " obey, it is not to be doubted that public law and " ' private right will find us ready in every emer " ' , gency for the duties of our profession. " It is in the bosom of our order that the type " should be found of that civil courage, which, in " ' the great trials of social life, makes man capable "' of the most generous efforts, and the most " ' rigorous sacrifices, to obey his conscience and " remain faithful to his conviction. This kind of " courage does not require vigour of body, but " only strength of mind; it rests on fixed princi "`plea, of which it renders a good account; it gives . _ " an accurate view of the rights to be exercised, " ' and the duties to be fulfilled, requiring the firm _ K' nags of virtue and the consistency of wisdom, '" which no reverse can shake or overturn.' " Our Correspondent, Mancuniensis, is quite right in saying we are not to be held responsible for the opinions of our various correspondents on Church Reform, nor to be considered as adopting the views of the several writers of whose books we have, in general, spoken fa vourably. We recommend the friends of the Church to he extremely cautious in the alterations they propose in reference to making the Church independent. Great changes are required un- DAY' ♦i ONE o'CI.oCi.
