FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PAnlc, Nov. 7.—Prince Gregory Ypsilanti, -the :youngest of the five brothers Ypsilanti, is coming to Paris ta prosecute his studies. Ile is accompanied by John Mauls, formerly Professor of Greek literature„ at the Greek College of Odessa, and by two other young men who intend to finish their studies at Paris. We have pleasure in announcing that Madame Pariget has received a letter. from her husband, dated Barcelona, Oct. 27, which gives more fa vouri-,10.e accounts of the health of M. M. Pariet and Bally. A letter from M. Francois, another of the French Physicians, written on the following day, that MM. Pariset and Bally are re coNkrirg ; and on the 29th M. Bally dispatched a few lines to a friend, informing him that he, as as well as M. Pariset, were going ender qua rantine for fifteen days, when they would be 'allowed to leave the town. The two sisters of St. Camilla, who went to Barcelona to attend on the sick, continue to enjoy good health, and are unremitting in their noble exertions. The disorder, however, still rages in Barce lona ; but at Barcelonetta it is nearly extinct. On the 26th rejoical guns were fired, in conse quence of there liming been no deaths or new cases on the preceding day. The population of Barcelona which have left the town have not carried the disorder with them into the villages and districts where they are now encamped ; and the opinion is, that outside of the walls the dis order is not contagious. A vessel arrived recently at Marseilles from Cyprus, with twenty-eight Greeks on board, who had escaped from the massacres perpetrated in that island. The silk trade of Lyons, which has been de clining for the .last month, is resuming its full activity, in consequence of the arrival of thirty ships at Bourdeaux, from America, on board of which are several merchants, who are co►nmis sioned to make large purchases of silks at Lyons. The Russian Colonel Pot'emkin, Princess Ga litzin, and Princess Tourkisxanoff, arrived yes terday at Paris, and alighted at the Great lintel of Rivoli. FRF.NCII FUNDS. 89 f. 50 c. 1590 f. c. Nov. 6, Five per Cents... Bank Stock. VIENNA, OCT. 26. The journey of the Prince de Metternich has given birth to various conjec tures. It is thought that 4tie Court of Vienna, persisting in its desire of settling the affairs of Greece, by means of a Congress, has solicited the King of England to use his influence with Russia to consent to it. The Congress is only to be a repetition of that of Laybach, and will give the Emperor of Russia the same advantage which the former one gave to the Emperor of Austria. , Fit INKFORT, Nov. I.—The Russian Govern- meat has given orders to the want - landing officers of corps and regi:nents, not to give leave of ab sence to either officers or privates, not even for a few days only. All the regiments are to be kept up to their full complement, and recruits raised within the last few months have joined the army for that purpose. A courier from Petersburgh is arrived at Stutt gard, with important dispatches. It is reported he was also the bearer of dispatches for theCourtr of Baden and Bavaria ; indeed frequent commu nications have recently taken place bntween the German States and Russia. AIX-L.l-CLIAPELLE, NOY. 5.—( Extract of a Private Letter.)—The most recent accounts from Constantinople confirm the previous advices, that the Divan had given strict orders to put all the Ottoman armies on the war establishment. In consequence, Tartars have been dispatched to all the Paellas in Europe and Asia ; and it is in tended that the Grand Vizier shall soon repair to the banks of tha Danube. It is asserted that the secret negociations opened by Russia with the Schah of Persia have hat( a successful issue, notwithstanding the great efforts made by the Turkish agents to render them abortive. It is said that Count Lieven, the Russian Ambassador at London, has already dispatched an express to his Government from Hanover, at the close of a Conference with the Prince de Aletternich and the Marquess of Londonderry. We are assured that peace will be the result of these conferences. TRIESTE, OCT. 20.—We have received intel ligence from Corfu as late as the id instant, which communicate positive details respecting the operations of the Turkish fleet. On the 12th of September a strong division of this fleet ap peared in the Bay of Coron, destroyed some Greek vessels which were lying there, and suc ceeded in throwing in supplies of men, munitions of war, and provisions into the fortress after an obstinate conflict with the Greek besieg ing army, who were defeated. The Turks on the 16th attempted a landing at Nodon, but were repulsed by the Greeks; and on the 30th they are reported too have effected that object at Patras. Here it is conjectured the fleet of the Barbary Powers will form a junction with the Turko-Egyptian squadron. RUSSIAN COMMERCIAL REOULATIONS.. ST. PETERSBURG'', OCT. 9.—The following are the regulations (at length) lately issued by his 1114.7Esrry's order, for the trade of the Aleutian Islands, &c. : " Considering that, according to the reports that haves been Lid before us, the commercial relations of our subjects in the Aleutian Islands, and in the Russian establishments along the North-west coast of America, are exposed to all kinds of dis advantages and impediments by the contraband trate ;—consi dering also that the principal cause of these inconveniences arises from the want of regulations on the limits of navigation along these coasts, and of a settled rule for commercial regula tions, as well in the above places as on the just caast of Siberia, we have thought it necessary to determine those relations by the following Ordinance : 1. It is not permitted to ,any but . Russian subjec:k; to com mence the whale .or other fishery, or any branch of industry whatever, in the islands, ports, and gulfs, and in general, along the coast of the North-west of America, from Behring's Straits to 51 degrees north latitude, as well as in the Aleutian Islands, on the east coast of Siberia, and the Kurile Islands ; that is to say, from Behring's Straits to the South Cape, in the Island of Ooroop, viz. 45 deg. 51 min. north latitude. 2. In consequence every foreign vessel is forbidden to touch at the Russian Est.ablishnieros enumerated in the preceding paragraph, or even to approach them within a less distance than 100 Italian miles. Whoever acts in contradiction to this Regu lation shall lose his, cargo. 3. Vessels compelled by stress of weather or wart of provi sions to touch on the'coast, are excepted from this prohibition. In these two eases they are bound to show satisfactory grounds for their approach. Vessels sent by Friendly Powers on voyages of discovery, are also exempted from the general rule, under the restr.ction of being furnished with passports from the Rus sian Minister of the Marine. 4. Foreign merchantmen which touch at the coasts for the reasons above-mentioned, are obliged •to choose a place where' there isa Russian establishment, 5. A pilot shall be sent, if the weather permits, to foreign merchantmen, in order to assign them ;n anchoripg place fit fur such vessels. Every Captain acting to the contrary shall pay a fine of 190 piastres. O. All oared boats belonging to foreign merchantmen, must land at a place pointed out to them, where a whiie.fiag shall be set up during the day, and a light atnight. An Inspector shall sec that no merchandise be clandestinely landed or em barked. Whoever shall anchor at another place shall pay 50 piastres, and he wi.o shall carry on shore merchandise, or other effects, shall pay t 4.10 piastres, and the merchandise shall be confiscated. 7. If it should be necessary to unload a vessel in order to re pair it, the Captain is to be authorised to do so. In this case the Captain shall deliver to the Authorities of the place a state ment of the natureand the quantity of his goods. fie who shall conceal any part of the cargo shall be charged as guilty of con traband trade, and pay a iine of 1000 piastres. 8. The expences which may be incurred in the said places shall be discharged either in ready money or in Bills of ex change. In case the Captain should have no money, and no person will become security for him, the Chief Authority of the place is authorized, on the application of the Captain, to sell a certain part of the merchandise, sufficient to pay the eapences. This sale can only be made for account of the Company, and through the .medium - of the Authorities. It can under no pre text exceed the amount.of the expenses, on pain of tke seques tration of the cargo,•:.ti.d a fine of 1,000 piastres. MISSIONARIES IN PARIS. PARIS, Nov. s.—The Missionaries, who have been conducting their operations with great zeal and considerable effect in nearly all the pro vinces of the kingdom, have now begun to stir at Paris. They will most likely be encouraged by . the new head of the Parisian church, as they are already by the Court. Englishmen will probably scarcely understand what can be the office of those Alissionariq in places where a regular priesthood is established, or what can be the meaning of planting the Cross in a country where it crowns every altar and surmounts every mo nument. The object of these fanatics, then, is neither more nor less than to treat France as a land of heathens, and to preach Christianity among them as they would do among the Hot tentots. Wherever they appear, they, with great pomp, and by the assistance of the Authorities, make a procession, and plant formally the Cross. Sometimes the Authorities oppose them, but are threatened by them with the vengeance of the Court. At Rheims, one of them asked a Sub- Prefect, who refused to countenance his mum mery, " Monsieur, est ce que vous etes las d'etre sous-prefect ?"—(" Sir, are you tired of office ?") —The Chambers meet to-day in their own Halls. Nothing will be done for some time but routine business.—( Times.) The Journal de la Haute Garonne of the 31st ult. relates the following instance of the vigilant watchfulness of the sanitary Cordon on the fron tiers of that department. On the preceding night, one of the centinels hearing a noise not far from him, called out three times, qui vine No one answering, he, after giving notice of his intention, fired his musket, and killed--a large dog. On the south wall of Streatham Church is the following singular inscription :—" Elizabeth, wife of Major General Hamilton, who was mar ried 47 years, and never did one thing to dis oblige her husband !" She died 1746. On Thursday night the house of Mr. LEVY, in Hemmings-row, St. Martin's-lane, was enter ed by some experienced thieves, who, by means of picklock-keys ; opened two doors, and carried off from the back parlour military and court suits of clothes, and other property, of nearly 2001. value. The robbers left behind them a most cu. riously.constructed key, with which they picked the locks, and which is now in possession of the Queen-square officers. LORD AIAYOR'S DAV. Yesterday being the .usual day when thy; new LORD MAYOR is sworn' 100 office, in the Elourt, of Exchequer, the procession, at twelve o'clock precisely, moved from the Mansion House, towards BlackfriarS Bridge, in the following order : The City Marshal on horsebncit.l Waterrnen, with the colours of the Drapea►' Company. A Band of 3lusic. • The Livery' of the Drapers' Company, two and two. The late Lord Mayor's Footmen, in splendid liveries. A Band of Music.' The Lord Mayor's State Coa c ch, ilrawil by sixbay horses, splen didiy caparisoned. The _Lord Mayor's Footmen in rich liveries, with a profusion. of gold lace. A Band of Music. The Lord Mayor's Private Carriage. The Corrine. of NI r. Sheriff Gomm The Carriage of Mr. SberiffV— • ._ _ Several Cariiages of the AMtunexi dosed the Procession. About aalf past twelve the Lord Mayor, with his attendants, embarked at the stairs of Black friars-Bridoe on board the City Bartre and pro- ceeded to Westminster City Barge was accomptinied by the barges of seKer(3l of the City Companies, which, from the fineness of the weather, exhibited one of the most splendid I aquatic spe7.tacles that have been exhibited on a - similar,occasion.—lt having been thought proper to dispense with the attendance of the Horse Guards, the attendance of the renowned men in armour, was also given up, greatly to the regret of the good folks in the city, who by no means approve of economical omissions of this nature. The whole party proceeded ' to Westminster, ,;'here the Lord Mayor was sworn in with the usnal formalities, and afterwards proceeded to the several Courts of Law, and gave the usual invita,tions to the Judges.—Th • Lord Mayor elect, and the late Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, arrived at abotit half past one, and were received by Mr. Baron Graham and Mr ! Baron Garrow. According to custom the latter were covered. The Commox SiAtJEANT, addressing the Judges, said he had the honour to present to their Lord ships, Christopher Nagnay, Esq.. who had been elected by his fellow-citizens to the,high office of Chief Magistrate of the City of London, for the year ensuing. He was a man of amiable character in. every relation of life. His com mercial dealings were extensive, and he had in, variably been influenced in those dealings, by that integrity which was the peculiar character istic of a British mu rchant. lie had already filled the office of Sheriff and Magistrate, with honour to himself and advantage to his fellow citizens. He was known to possess a sincere re gard for his Sovereign, and those institutions,' which he-trusted would be the bulwark of English freedom until time should be - no more. His ;fellow citizens were confident that if the designs of the mischievous should be manifested in an .attempt to disturb those institutions, they would be opposed with effect by their excellent Chief Magistrate, who would not fail, in such a case, to consult the proper legal authorities, and de serve their support by conforming to their legal opinion. Should innovation - be attempted, the • City of London would find him a warm and inflexible advocate of its privileges, and the citi zens were assured that at the close of his Mayor alty, he would have fully discharged all the duties of his high and splendid office. He (the Common Serjeant) had to inform their Lord ships, that John Thomas Thorp, Esq., the late Lord Mayor, attended according to custom, to render an account of the sums due to his Ma jesty from his Lordship by virtue of his office. lie (the late Lord Mayor) had entered office with the greatest. possible portion of the affec tion of his fellow-citizens. Their expectations with respect to his public conduct were there fore very high ; and it was highly pleasing to announce that those expectations had been fully gratified. His Lordship had distinguished him self by punctuclity in official business, by bene volence, by liberality, by hospitality, and by all those qualities which dignified his (ace ; and he retired from that office with the approbation and esteem of all. Mr. Baron GRAHAM then addressed the Lord Mayor Elect.—He regretted the absence of the Lord Chief Baron, and his Learned Brother (Wood), especially as indisposition was the cause of that absence. lie felt pleasure in ob serving that the testimony which had just been borne by the Common Serjeant to his Lordship's character, proved that he possessed the ability as well as the inclination to discharge the duties of his high.and important office. He felt that it would be unnecessary as well as improper, to point out the duties, a performance of which was called for by his 'Lordship's Office. Yet he could not but remark that it was his Lordship's especial duty to preserve peace and tranquillity within the metropolis. They had all witnessed scenes of disorder, and he trusted they would never be observed again. Much confusion mi g ht often b e p reven t e d by timely caution, and it. should never be forgotten that the object of the law was prevention, rather than punishment. The design of every good Government wa s t o protect eac h man i n th e enjoyment of his.own, and to facilitate the fair means of acquiring wealth. It was, therefore, natural that those who had nothing to lose, and were disinclined to adopt fair means in the acquiring of any thing, would be disaffected towards the Government;' and in such a state of things an active public officer must expect to be assailed by clamour,_ Vain, however, would be that clamour, if he conscientously performed his duty, for he would be joined and approved of by all good men. Mr. Baron GRAHAM then addressed himself to the lat e L or d M ayor . Lordship on hi s h av i ng redeemed the pl e d ge He congratul a t e d hi s which his early conduct had given to his fellow citizens when he entered his office. llis Lord ship's political sentiments were generally known, but the lawful exercise of power abolished all distinctions of politics; and as his Lordship was a friend to the liberty of his country, he could not but be an enemy to all licentiousness. Ile would continue to have an opportunity of serv ing his fellow-citizens by a faithful discharge of his Magisterial functions; but he might retire from his more important and more public office, - i 4 the asstipuce that his fell°W -4 itize4s were con vinced that he had disci►arged his duties to the best of his judgment. The usual oaths were then administered to the Lord Mayor elect and the late Lord Mayor, and the accustomed forms were gone through ; after which, Mr. Common Serjeant, in the name of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, invited the Judges to dinner. at the Guildhall.—The mon) , of inviting the Judges of the other Courts to ditvor, was also gone through as usual. At half-past three the Procession returned through Cheapside. The windows were for the must part crowded with fashionably dressed females and chlyfen, but the throng i►i the street was less numerous than we remember to have seen it on similar occasions. The pageantry of yesterday was certainly deficient hi attraction when compared ‘iith many that we have wit nessed. It presented no pompous representation of the splendour of war in acres that are now " with the years beyond the Flood." No knights in armour, accompanied by their Esquires, stalked' forth in the pride of chivalry, as the champions of the new city monarch ; no troop or horsemen cleared the way, and no lengthened tratn of pedestrians, in their ancient holiday attire, ushered in the more glaring display. A small party of musicians led the way down King -street ; to them suc ceeded the servants of the Lord Mayor ; these were followed by one of the City - Marshals, and then the State Coach appeared, in which his Lordship was seated with the usual attendants of London's chief Magistrate. The coaches that followed were not remarkable for their de corations or for their numbers. Thus has the new Lord Mayor entered upon his career, without more of skew than was necessary to save it from the reproach of shabbiness. Out the day was one that deserves to be remembered, from the happy tranquillity that prevailed. This was the brightest feature in the scene, and we trust it may he regarded as an auspicious omen. That extravagant excitement which in former years we have had to lament and to re prehend, was wholly absent on this occasion ; and we had the pleasure of seeing a Magistrate modestly entering ulion the discharge of his civic duties, and not a Demagogue, proudly ad vancinz at the head of a victorious mob to vio late that peace which he had sworn to preserve. The procession reached the Hall before four o'clock, and between five and six the rattling of the. numerous carriages announced the approach of the Nobility and Gentry to Guildhall to par take of the City Feast. THE DINNER. Guildhall, where the City Banquet was given, was fitted up for the occasion in a very superb manner, and a flood of gas light gave full effect to the table ornaments, and to the brilliant dresses of the Ladies. The Eastern tables, which were elevated above the rest, were appointed for the accommodation of the Lords and their Ladies, the Foreign Ambassadors, the Judges, and such of his Majesty's Ministers as attended. The other tables were placed length-ways, east to west, and decorated with temples, arches, allegories, emblems of commerce. &c., and military and naval trophies, with the names of several heroes, who have de served well of their country. - .14.t the end, over the Lord May or's chair, was a magnificent Crown—the p a n ne l s o f th e H a ll were hung with rich• drapery, and when the company were seated, the whole had a very grand effect. A military band was stationed in the music gallery, and played several military and other tunes after dinner. Dinner having,been concluded, and " Non nobis Domino" perform Al, The LORD MAYOR gave " The King," with four times four. It was followed by loud applause. The toast of " The Duke of York"—" The Duke of Clar ence and the rest of the Rayal Family"—" The City of Lon don and its trade" " The Rose, the Shamrock, and the Thistle"—and " The Duke of Wellington" followed.—The latter.was received with warm applause. The Duke of WELLixoTox begged, leave to return his best thanks for the honour which the company had done him ; and in return he begged to drink all their good healths.— Wheerso_ " The Most Noble the Marquess of Londonderry," with three times three, was the next toast. Lord LONDONDERRY also begged leave to express his sense of the honour conferred on him, in proposing his good health, as well as for the kind manner in winch it had been received. He was not prepared for the compliment that had been p7id him, and it therefore was the more grateful to him. —(Applause.) The health of Lord Viscount Sidmouth was honoured with three times three. Lord SIDMOUTIE said, he was highly satisfied with the hon our they had done him ; and in return he begged leave to drink all their good healths. The Duke of YORK begged leave to give a toast, in which he was sure they would all heartily concur—the health of the Lady Mayoress.—(Loud ApplauSe.) The Loun MAYort returned thanks for his Lady, observ ing, that he was desired to say,. that her Ladyship would be happy to see all her friends at the Mansion-house. The Duke of WELLINOTONproposed a toast, which he w a s sure they wo u ld a ll g i ve with satisfaction—" The health of the Lord Mayor.."—(Loud cheers.) The LOAD MAYOR returned his acknowledgments. He was grateful for the honour they had conferred on him. He was sensible of the high importance of the office to which his fellow. citizens had elevated lum ; and he assured all around him, that he would exert himself as much as possible to fulfil its duties with advantage to those who had placed him there.—(Applause.) The Ladies then began to withdraw, passing round by the Lord Mayor's Chair. The LADY MAYORESS also retired to the tea and coffee-room. The business of the evening having been resumed, The LORD DIAL o 4 gave the health of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who returned his acknowledgments. The Duke of YORK gave the health of the late Lord Iltayor. —(Loud( heers.) Mr. Alderman THORP said he felt highly complimented by the toast which had just been given, especially when it came from so illustrious a quarter. He was glad to see his worthy successor surrounded and supported by such illustrious charac ters; and with such advantages he trusted that their new Lord Mayor would go through his honourable office with satis faction to himsaf and advantage to his fellow-citizens.—(Loud Applause. ) s " Foreign Ministers with three times three."—The Portu guese Ambassador, in his own name, and in the ferns of those who were near him, returned thanks for the honour that had been paid to them. _ _ The healthy of the Judges and the Sheriffs having been given, the health of the Members of the City of London in Par liament was announced, and loudly applauded. Sir W. Cu wris rose, and was received with much good hu moured applause. He was glad, in times like the present, to see themselves surrounded with such illustrious honourable company ; what he beheld convinced him that the good old times had come round again. ---(Laughter and cheers.)—The appear ance of the Hall assured him of their loyalty. To say that the City was not loyal, was a libel.—(Much laughter and cheering.) —Men's minds would at tim e s wan d er ; b u t even t ua ll y t h y would come round. So he had found it.—(Cheering.)—He had been returned for the City seven times. He had differed with some of those who had been returned with him ; but the height of glory to which the country had been raised, proved that he had differed from them on right ground•—(More cheers.)—He had been to a distant part of the Kingdom, and oh ! had they been there, as he had, and had they seen what he bad seen, they' wont never forget the events.—(Cheering.)—He concluded with stating, amidst much applause, that if the country were true to itself there was no cause to fear. Alderman BRIDGES and Mr. WILSON returned thanks, and after some further toasts the distingUished company retired . . The tables were cleared away to make room for dancing, which was kept up to a late hour. The'dinner passed "off uncommonly well. The courses and wines provided were excellent; the regulations good; and the general appearance of the Hall most satisfactory. It was half past six when the dinner commenced, and half-past ten when t 1.4 Pike of Yon x, the Ministers, &c. retired. kIEBDOMADARY. SUNDAY, November H.—Twenty-first Sunday after Trinity.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE .r.aSUM AUDEAT LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1821. We received this day the French Papers of Wednesday, from which we give extracts under the usual head of FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. The question of peace or war still remains in the same uncertain state, but it would appear that both Russia and Turkey are completing their regi ments to their full numbers, and are placing their armies in the highest state of equipment, so as to be ready for commencing hostilities at a moment's no tice.—The French corvette La Bonite has arrived at Touloun from Smyrna, which she left on the Ist of October. Rear-Admiral if.tm; IN, with the French squadron under his command, were then at that port, and had rendered important services to the Franks at Smyrna, and particularly to the Greeks, who had been again the objects of persecution, on occasion of the late festival of the Courban Beynam.—Tripoli, Leydt, Latakia, and Rhodes were quiet towards the middle of August ; but in the Isle of Cyprus, the massacres which began in July were continued up to the 17th of Sept., and the conduct of the Turks was marked by the same atrocities which have disgraced humanity at Constantinople and other towns under their dominion. The C reek squadrons amounted to 170 sail, and continued to threaten the Turkish fleets with their fire-ships the latter have succeeded hitherto in avoiding their rencounter, but when the approaching winter compels them to anchor in some port, they will have little chance of escaping destruction. The KING of the NETHERLANDS has been severely censured, on account of the want of that favourable reception in his dominions which our MONARCH experienced through all other places in his continental excursion. But it is by no means reasonable to impute to the K►NG of the NETHERLANDS the churlish torpidity of his subjects. It is well known that a republican spirit has long marked the character of the people of Flanders and Holla►►d, and the mix ture of both was only calculated to increase that spirit; and if the KING were not supported by other Potentates, it is not likely that he would long retain possession of monarchical power. But it is alleged that the KING is under the in fluence of Russia, and more than insinuated that the great Autocrat of that Empire has instigated feelings hostile to this country. But can it be supposed that any political views would prevent that courtesy which one Monarch would natu rally spew towards another, upon an occasion too that rarely could occur? The idea is ab surd, and can only arise in malignant motives or silly conjectures. If our KING was neglected in the Netherlands, the cause must be traced to the boorish democracy of the people, not the Monarch, who is bound to this country by every sentiment of gratitude and justice. The Spanish Cortes had confided to a Com mittee the discussion of certain propositions for the establishments of public beneficence, or in other words for making provision for the poor ; and the Committee has submitted to the House a new project, which is expected to give rise to interesting debates. The Committee, in speak ing of the urgency and importance of the mea sure, express themselves thus :—" In the very bosom of abundance, in a nation which has at all times lavished immense treasures in behalf of the needy classes of the State, the helpless and a bject are still neglected, from the moment wretched- less comes upon them, till they reach the verge of he tomb. 'They are exposed to all the horrors of hunger and nakedness, to the absolute want of moral and physical education, and left destitute, of the necessary means for the preservation of life, and the exercise of their faculties in favour of themselves, or for the utility of their fellow countrymen." These are crying evils from which even the free institutions of Spain Ivill not enable her to free herself, unless her domestic economy
