.FOREIGN IN'FELLIU FACE. PARIS, DEC. 9.s.—The King transacted busi- Le',4 yesterday with the Minister of the Interior. The Aug burgh Gazette publishes the follow. ing article, under the head of Herrnanstadt, D S " The news from Walachia and Mol- av;a- contain only recitals of the massacres and cruelties daily committed by the barbarian Mus sulrnans. • Several Turkish Generals arrived on the Ist of December at Jassy : they come direct from. Constantinople, and declare openly that the Porte has rejected all the demands of Russia; but what k almost incredible, if the ignorance and presumption of the Turks were not well known, is to - hear them say that • they will take advantage of this war to reconquer the INtorea. All the churches of the two Principa lities: which escaped the first devastations are abandoned to the profanations of the Infidels. — To irrdtate the Christians, the ferocious Janis saries walk through the streets_ clothed in the sacerdotal habits, and carrying the sacred vases. -.'The priests arid nuns are massacred, maltreated, r sold. All the Pachas of the frontier provinCes -73..te deposed and replaced by others, who, to shew their devotion to Islamism, are guilty of the most odious atrocities against the Christians."— ( Ilion/tent .) FRENCH FUNDS. Dec. 24, Five per Cents. B6 f. 20 c. Bank Stock 1592 f. S 0 c. ODESSA., Drc. 2.—We have news from Con :staiitinople of the 25th of November; that ca pital was then the theatre of frightful . events. The Ministers of England and Austria had had a conference with the Reis-Effendi on the 23d, to induce him to accept the ultimatum of Russia. The two Ministers had likewise an audience of the . Sultan for the same object, but with out effect. His Highness is said to have re plied, that he never would renew the privi leges of the Greek nation, and consequently that he never would agree to the conditions offered by Russia. lie added, that the Greeks had deserved the chastisement which theysuffered, and that they could only be treated as rebels. When the two Ministers were returning to Pera, under an escort, they are stated to have been in. suited by the people. Pistols were even dis charged into the house of Lord Strangford. It is said that the Sultan vainly endeavoured to put an end to these excesses, and that the Janissaries directed the most violent threats against the Sul tan himself, who had promised them, on the 6th, the pillage of •the quarter of the Franks. This news is said to have been dispatched to Peters burgh by a special courier. The Russians are already forming magazines of military stores on thejfrontiers, and the aspect of affairs is warlike. VIENNA, DEC. 13.—We are in the usual state of uncertainty respecting the events of Constan tinople. The ordinary courier which we expect, will only bring letters down to the 26th of No vember The Court has not 'received accounts from its InternUncio. The Military Governors of th: l frontier provinces have sent couriers to Vienna, but they could only announce the re ports spread at Belgrade, respecting the as sassination of the Sultan. We begin to give credit •to that terrible and decisive catastrophe. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, DEC. Funds have fallen at Vienna. 20.—The Public All the commercial letters from Russia, Po land, and Prussia, are now warlike. The Austrian troops continue to march into Transylvania, and the other adjoining provinces. The army to be assembled in the provinces bor dering on the Ottoman territory will amount to about 100,000 men. The report of the insurrection of the Janissa ries at Constantinople gains strength. The next courier it is hoped, will decide this event. Clr.m ~ DEC. 18.—According to letters from Lower Italy, the greater part of the Austrian troops stationed in Sicily have lately been con centra.ted at Palermo. It seems that the Aus trian Commandant mistrusts the Sicilians ; for all the national guards, which were still embodied, have been disbanded. A;ZIREMRERG, DEC. 15.—(EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE CO/{MUNICATION.)—The news whidi we receive to-day from P-ussia is extremely interesting. In consequence of an order issued by the Cabinet, all the for. tresses near the frontiers of Turkey are to be placed in a re spectable state of defence. Engineers have already arrived at Rriael, where they had several works begun. The old works are repairing, and the outward fortifications will be considera bly increased. Ry virtue of an order from the Emperor, Mr. Foster, Gene ral-in-Chief of the Engineers, is making a tour, to visit the [Names, and to take such measures as circumstances require. A numerous corps of troops is to assemble near Caminiec, in .Podolea. It will have a park of above 100 pieces of artillery, as well heavy cannon as field-pieces. Several regiments of foot have just arrived at Choczim.— They are to form a part of the garrison of that fortress. It is affirmed that it is intended to open a formal loan in fa vour of the Greeks under a high guarantee. NUREMBERG, DEC. 17.—We communicate the following accounts from Constantinople, which come down to the middle of November, and are from a Frenchman now in the city, who is well informed. There were still very different opinions in the Divan respecting the demands of Russia ; these opinions are in all likelihood only politically different, for at the bottom all the Members of the Divan are probably animated by hatred to Russia, and would willingly reject all its demands if they did not fear the consequences of such a step. But they are not agreed upon the manner in which they shall proceed. Some ad vise concession to avoid a war; the others are for cutting through the knot with the sword. The Grand Vizir is at the head of the first party, and seems to be on particularly good terms with Lord Strangford. The Reis Effendi was likewise inclined to this party, but his advice excited the displeasure of the Sultan, and has unexpect edly eauaed his dismissal from office, which was communicated in an order addressed immediately from the Sultan to the Grand Vizir, and was wholly unlooked for by the latter, How ever, there had for some time hem a misunderstanding be tween these two high clii;:ers. Among the Members of the Divan, there are also some obstinate individuals who behold with great dissatisfaction even Lord Strangford's interference in this business, and would willingly free themselves from it' The Chiefs of the Janissaries are the principal adversaries of the ,Europeans in ke.neral, and of.th:• Russians in particular. The Porte never will or can consent to grant new rights in favour of the Greeks, and if it did so, it does not appear how the Greeks would be able to exercise these rights. A general insurrection would rather ensue. It is now known that all hopes of seeing a Russian Ambassador at Constantinople are in vain ; nay, a categorical period is now spoken of, within which the Porte must declare itself, otherwise its silence will - be considered as a declaration of War. The Turkish fleet is in bad condition, and will not be able to put to sea again before the Spring ; for this reason a number of small vessels have been fitted out, in order at least not to leave the Greeks in entire possession of the Archipelago, as they now are, and from. which the Turkish fleet could not expel them, when it cruised in those seas. Every thing relative to the war with Persia is kept quite se cret. It is known, however, that the Persians have been hitherto victorious, and that the Porte has not a sufficient force to oppose them ; it is now said, however, that great armaments are making in Asia. Our accounts from the Mores, up to the 14th November, say that the hope that the Turks would not undertake any thing of importance this winter, is fully confirmed, and the Greek Chiefs flatter themselves that they shall be able, before the Spring, to destroy the Turkish power in the Mores by means of the inhabitants of Corot; Patras, and Artos. To be secure, however, at all events, the Mainotes have requested the supreme Senate at Calamata, and the Ecclesiastical Synod, to remove to Napoli de Malvoisia. But this proposal has been rejected for the present. The forts of Passara, Chielisa, Misitra, Illalvoisia and Mains, which had been much damaged in the late campaign, have been entirely repaired, to secure against the future eruptions of the Turks, the country of Sparta or the Mainotes, which is wholly delivered. The differences between Demetrius Ypsilanti, the Senates, and Military Chiefs, continue. The latter are all inclined to recognise as Archistrategos the brave conqueror of Tripolizza, whose heroic courage is generally admired. The choice must, however, be made in a General Assembly, which will speedily be convoked. A strong division of the Week fleet covers the ports that have been delivered. Musacit, DE C. 15.—Count Arco, President of the Court of Appeal, lately received an anonymous letter, calling upon him to issue a new law in criminal matters, and threatening him with the fate of Kotzebue, unless this law was promulgated by the Ist of October (what year is not said.) The letter is dated 20th November. In consequence of this letter an advertisement has been inserted in the newspapers, addressed to the writer, in which he is told that what he desires tends to a change in the laws, which, by the Bavarian Constitution, cannot be Made ex cept by the King and the Chambers, and not by the President of the Court of Appeal, as the anonymous writer erroneously supposes. If, therefore, on reflexion, he considers his plan as useful, he will do better to present a petition to the Chambers, in their approaching Session, than any longer to cherish the idea of perpetrating a crime which would be wholly useless towards the attainment of his object, and fatal to himself. FassexroitT, DE c. 20.—1 n the sitting of thc. Diet on the 7th, the President proposed to defer the discussion of the dif ferences between Prussia and Anhalt Coeth en, because a Con vention respecting the navigation of the Elbe had been conclud ed, and there was great reason to hope that these differences would be determined amicably. The Prussian Minister being persuaded that the difference was probably already adjusted, or certainly was very nearly so, declined entering on the subject. Most of the Members approved of the proposal of Austria, only the Minister of Anhalt expressed the readiness of the Duke to come to an amicable arrangement, as he has repeatedly proved, but that having consented, out of regard for the Court of Aus tria, to adjourn the Diet till the 7th December, and, conse quently, the discussion of his grievances, till the 13th Decem bers The Minister has positive orders to refuse his assent to a further prorogation. The Diet resolved to defer for six weeks the decision of the affair, hoping to receive shortly the ratifica tion of the Convention for the navigation of the Elbe, and in tile expectation of an amicable arrangement between the two pal ties. TRIESTE, Dr.c. I:l—According to the latest accounts from Candia, the Greek Insurgents had made incredible progress, and kept the Paella and the Turkish Authorities blockaded in the city of Candia. They had seized on the fort of Karabusa, one of the most important positions in the island. The Turks, who had hitherto received assistance from a division of the Ot toman fleet stationed in the neighbourhood, are in the most critical situation. The Greeks, who are animated by despair, are five times as numerous as they, and dal!' receive reinforce ments by sea. The most remarkable Ordinances of the Ecclesiastical Synod of the Nlorea are— " 1. One to modify the rigour of the fasts for the whole time that the war for liberty shall continue. " One forbidding to consider as dishonoured women who may have been ill-treated by the barbarians during the horrors of war, since, according to the usage of the Greek Church, they must be looked upon as victims and martyrs for the li bel-Et), of the people. " 3. An Ordinance prescribing prayers for the Greeks, who since the beginning of the holy war have perished in all coun tries for this great cause.—(The same Synod enjoins all the faithful to regard as a holy martyr the Patriarch who has been put to death, and to condemn the new one as impious, an in truder, and a heretic, and not to listen to or follow in any man ner his pastoral instructions." Atrossu FIG, DEC. 11.—The Austrian Observer of the 12th, 13th, 14th and has nq news whatever from Turkey. Fnom THE MAINE, DEC. 12.—According to late accounts, hatred to all Christians is said to have attained the highest pitch in the Barbary States, so that the Porte, in case it should be involved in war, may probably derive great support from them. The invasion of the Persians is considered at Constantinople as a diversion contrived by a great European Power to favour the Greeks. This statement is designedly circulated to inflame the hatred and fanaticism of the Turks. The fortresses on the Danube are full of Asiatic troops.— There have been mans• executions in Servia, because connec tions have been discovered between the Serviana and the neigh. bouring d acedonians. BVP.SlNG.—Yesterday, while two, children, who had been locked in a room by their parent, its Goodge-street, Tottenham-Court-road, were playing together, one of them had its clothes in a blaze, in consequence of a spark flying from the fire ; the other, in endeavouring to assist it, burned itself dreadfully, and was so much in jured that it shortly after died. INUNDATIONS AND EFFECTS FROM THE LATE WEATHER. FLOODS IN WESTMINSTER .—T he neighbour hood of Westminster Hall, Abingdon-street, and Milbank-street, were yesterday afternoe:, thrown into the greatest alarm, by the unArsually high rising of the spring tide, aided by the floods oc casioned by the late heavy rains. By three o'clock the wharfs, &c. behind these streets and fronting the River were completely overflowed ; the greatest difficulty, in many instances, being in the way of getting the different cattle out of the stables. The timber, straw, &c. that were susceptible of motion, on the approach of suffi cient water, began to float, and the wharfs thus became the scenes of confusion that soon spread terror around the neighbourhood. By four o'clock the currents from the Thames began to make their way into the main streets, and Mil bank-street in particular, as well as Vine -street, the Horseferry-road, and other outlets from it, were soon overflowed, so as to become impassable except to horses, carriages, carts, &c. Many of the old houses in this street were visited with peculiar severity, as, instead of being approach able by steps ascending, they are entered by going down one or two steps into. the parlours. The house of Mr. Blackman, the King's Arms, facing the large stone-yard which belonged to the late Alderman Staines, presented an .extra ordinary appearance. .The street in other parts is narrow ; but facing Mr. Blackman's house there is a large space, which collected an im mense quantity of -water, and formed a sort of lake; and when the water entered Mr. Black man's house, it rushed through with an im petuosity that no precautions could impede. The parlours, tap-room, &c. were soon seve ral feet 'deep with water. The house, though its visitation was not singular, became the point of attraction, from its conspicuous situation, as well as from several boats having passed from the Horseferry-stairs, and appearing in the streets, conveying the inhabitants to and from their houses, and carrying those who had no other means of passage. The extensive damage that was here inflicted, and the obstructions which were presented to all business, exceed de scription ; and as the flooding of the streets,which already displayed so appalling an appearance, continued till past five o'clock, the time of flood tide, the situation of the inhabitants was most painful.--The impetuosityand extent of the Thames overflowing its ordinary bounds, were, however, still more furious up the bank, and beyond Vauxhall-bridge. By the Millbank wharf, which is beyond the Horseferry-stairs, whence so many boats came to the relief of the passengers and the inhabitants, the water rushed down into the surrounding fields and streets, Mr. Johnson's ex tensive premises, the market-gardens, &c., lay ing the whole of them under water. But. even this extensive scene of devastation was surpassed by what took place between four and five o'clock, by the breaking and overflowing of the bank beyond Vauxhall-bridge : through this breakage in particular, the water hurried along with cataract fury, covering the surrounding fi elds, gardens, &c. Vauxhall-road, down to the Sewers bridge, approaching Pimlico, was laid under water to the depth of several feet, so that even horses and carriages could not pass along with out being mare than half under water. The sur rounding scene, however, was the most afflicting that was any where to be beheld : the laying under water of the neighbourhood near the Penitentiary was injurious enough, but the devastation and cala mity were most distressing that were thus conveyed into a new but rather an extensive neighbourhood, on the left of theVauxhall-road, consisting of small houses, built on the ground, and many of them of more than a sufficiently slight structure. The ground and roads about them, and leading to them, were filled with water to the depth of several feet, so that boats passed along with the greatest facility where there were not the impediments of high fences, walls, or the like.— Along some of the lanes and roads the water hurried down with as much force as if it were descending from hills ; and many of the inha bitants, who had already retreated from the par lours to the first floors with their children, move able furniture, &c. became apprehensive for their personal safety. Then commenced proceedings of the most distreSsing nature ; females, chil dren, &c. being carried from their dwellings in boats or in men's arms, with as little ceremony arid consideration AS attend the efforts at rag ing fires to rescue endangered lives from the fury of an overwhelming element. Conster nation appeared every where. Hundreds of families were all thus hurrying from their homes, apparently only anxious for the pre- . servation of existence ; and the danger in many instances, to men who waded in the water so burthened, was imminent ; to such a depth were the. places overflowed. The main road from Vauxhall was covered with boats, and horses being conveyed, or conveying their riders, to places of safety.—Fortunatelj the wind was southerly ; had it been northward, experienced men state that the flood must have been still wore „.. • destructive and extensive. WINDCOR, DEC. 27.—We now have here the greatest Thames flood that has been since 1809, when the great flood carried away the fifteen arch bridge near Eton. It is awful to see the country from Maidenhead-bridge to Chertsey ; on each side of the Thames all covered with wa ter; farmers obliged to move their cattle of every kind from their home ; fields and meadows covered with water over hedges and ditches ; no thing to be seen but the tops of the trees : the lower part of Windsor Little Park is all covered. —ln Eton many of the houses are flooded : in the shops the water is up to the counters; there are carts and boats to take the passengers to and from the Windsor side : it is up so high at the Swan Inn, that every horse is obliged to be re moved ; and in many of the cellars the water is five feet deep ; no carriage can come by Datchet to 'Windsor. The tide of the Thames flowed so high on Thursday, that many houses on the Rotherhithe side of the water have above three feet of water in the lower part. Surrey-street and Craven street, in the Strand, also felt its effects, as well as many parts of Wemminster. On Thutsday the water reached within a Loot of the summit of the terrace fronting the new Custom-house. The neighbourhood of St. George's-fields was yesterday even ing, in many parts overflowed. Most' of the kitchens in Great Surrey -street were about a toot under water, and the lower part of the houses in Union-street, ,Ba*ll:side, &c., were also in a state of immersion. Bankside, particularly, from its vicinity to the river, and the several streets adjoining, were completely covered by the flood. The Portsmouth mail was delayed at Kingston yesterday morning upwards of an hour, in consequence of the waters being out. The northern mails have been stopped two days by the inun dations. At Newport-Pagnel the coaches could not pass the bridge, owing to the floods. The York House mail coach - was nearly upset on Wed nesday night. Poles are now affixed on the banks of low lands to indicate the depth of water on the roads. On Thursday there was a tremendous storm of thunder, lightning, hail, and rain, at Oxford, which continued nearly an hour with unabated fury. The rain literally came down in torrents, the streets throughout the city were like rivulets, the thunder was awfully loud, and the lightning extremely vivid. The flood at Frame, on Sunday morning last, occasioned by the tremenduous storm of the preceding evening, was higher than any that has been known in that town for nearly sixty years. The darnage sustained amounts to several thousand pounds. The waters in the neighbourhood of Cambridge (says the Cambridge Chronicle) have risen higher during the present week than we remember to have observed for many years. The meadows near the banks of the Cam are overflowed, and in many places the rcr.ds have been rendered nearly impassable.— The waters in the fens are unusually high. At Bristol, and many other places, the heavy rains have been accompanied with violent storms of wind, thunder, and light, ping; unroofiing houses, blowing down stacks of chimneys, and in some instanc!s, burying the unhappy inmates under the ruins. On Tuesday, says the Bristol Gazette, the. Birmingham mail, which usuaily arrives in this city at six o'clock in the morning, did not reach its destination until one o'clock at noon : it was stopped at. Norton Mills, between Tewkes bury and Gloucester, where the water was nearly six feet deep ; the guide of the road being lost, the horses soon got off their legs, and the greatest danger was evident : to increase the dif ficulty, Shurrner's stage-waggon had also been stopped inits pro gress, and was rendered immoveable : one of the horses of the latter was drowned, and another died soon after ; but by the great exertions of the coachman and guard, the passengers and mail horses were preserved : the former were obliged to go back to Tewkesbury ; the parcels and luggage were left behind, and the mail of letters conveyed at length to Gloucester, from which it reached this city, as before stated, about noon. No other coach reached Bristol from Birmingham during the day, arid this morning, (Wednesday) the mail was three hours aecer its time, being obliged to go round by Cheltenham. In consequence of almost incessant rains, observes the Wor cester Journal, there has been a rapid succession of floods on the river Severn during the last few months. Yesterday afternoon the inundation had ettained a very unusual height, though nearly 2 feet below the flood of 179,5. The lands on both sides the river are flooded tu a great extent. Of course travelling has been much impeded in various parts of the country : Yester day, Tuesday, the 23d inst., the coach did not arrive in this city till 12 o'clock. This day, the waters had risen so high as to im pede the passage over Tewkesbury-bridge ; in consequence of which the guard was obliged to take a boat, swim a horse by the side of it, and thus gainiro the road which was not under water, mounted the horse, and proceeded for this city. The barometer stood this day (Wednesday the 2fith inst.) 28 3-10 the—a very unusual depression. We have at length some intimation of the approach of winter ; snow fell on some of the hills of this county on Sunday, and this morning Fahrenheit's thermometer stood at the freezing point. The late incessant rains have caused a greater flow of water throughout the low lands and valleys in our neighbourhood than we have heard of for many years. The London road, near Caxton, Huntingdonshire, was on Saturday night for some time impassable for any kind of carriage, and the Edinburgh mail was detained full six hours, until the fall ing of the water enabled it to effect a passage. At the village of Gorimanctiester, nearly every house has been filled with water by the overflowing of the Giese, and some of the inhabitants were compelled, after making their lower doors and windows as close as possible, to.eject.their unwelcome visitor from their chamber windows by buckets. At Wansford the Nene rose so high as to inundate the yard of the Haycock-inn ; and we be lieve every village situated in the valleys through which the Ouse, Nene, or Welland flows, has Experienced some inconve nience from the sudden rising of the water. The fens of Lin colnshire are for the greater part three or four feet under water. At Spalding and its neighbourhood, the Welland rose so high on N'V ednesday morning, that the inhabitants resident near the river on the Deeping-roud, were called from their beds at four o'clock, to assist in erecting a water-tight fence on the crown of the road, to prevent the hood flowing over to the fields on the opposite side ; numbers of horses and carts, and a very great quantity of men, were employed on Wednesday, to check the inundation ; and, notwithstanding their efforts, we learn that at half-past seven on Wednesday evening; the water had increased so much as almost to bid defiance to their attempts to arrest its progress.—(Stainford News.) A very heavy thunder storm was experienced on the 18th inst. at Blandford and the neighbourhood. The tower of Wareham Church received considerable injury by the lightning on that day.—( Dorchester Journal) The continued rains have considerably injured the lands in most parts of this county: All the moors And low grounds pre sant vast sheets of w:Lter. The sheep in many places are suf fering by a disorder incidental to them in wet weather.--(Taun ton Courier.) The dreadful gale of wind that blew with such awful furs, over this town and neighbourhood on Thursday night appears to have been general throughout the Kingdom. The effects have been extremely destructive in many places, but the mis chief in this town and its vicinity has been comparatively light. (Ibid.) EXTRACT OP A LETTER FROM STAINES, 26th DEC. " My dear R.—My journey in quest of health has not yet been propitious in its direct object, but otherwise has proved sa tisfactory. I left London in the Old Salisbury coach about four o'clock on Monday afternoon. It rained heavy, and the night fell dark as pitch. Two miles and a quarter short of this place, our coachman pulled - up in consequence of a terrible outcry of distress. He took the coach lamp in his hand, and turned it to wares' the place from whence the sound proceeded. 1 looked out of the coach, and saw, by the glare of the lamp, a man's head just above water, about 12 or 15 yards distant, and near to him two wheels, half above the.surface. It was plain that a carriage had been upset, and that the man was in jeopardy. I made haste to get out of the coach to lend a helping hand for his salvation ; and forgetting that I was an invalid, ran knee deep into the water, which flowed to. the middle of the high way, without thought or fear. The coachman hollowed out that the water was very deep, and that I was in danger. I re turned to consult what should be done, but getting impatient lest the man should sink front sight, I rushed towards him, and before I got half-way sunk to the neck. As I could not swim, and the bottom, muddy, was entangling my feet, I was glad to sprawl out again, which, with some difficulty, I performed.--Inow asked the company to; join hands, and let me go in first ; but, none having yet paid earnest, they were unwilling, like the cats, to wet their feet. I then thought of unharnessing the horses, so as to get traces and reins for a safety-rope ; but the coachman produced a snare set of traces, and these, tied toge ther, were sufficient. One end was made fast round my body, and the other held by lusty fellows, now made all safe for me. I advanced towards the e; eect in distress, but coming to the deep water, again plumped in to the neck,and falling for warel,had to be dragged ashore like a log. I Was in a painful suspense for a few moments how to get at the men, but seeing that one of the wheels might be reached by an efibrt, I made towards this, and getting hold of it, passed to the other, and from thence by making a long arm caught hold of the men by the collar. He held fast by something; I did not see, I siTpose the pole, and bawled out continually to save his horses, of which I saw nothing. Having made good my gripe, I called on the people on shore to haul away, which they did. I tore the man from his hold, and we were together dragged to land. Through the deep water it was well enough, but as I had to be dragged some yards along the shallow, I was almost pulled in two, while the buckle of the trace sunk into my left breast, where I had the blow from the trunk last October. This I liked roost, but now I think all is well. We had the poor man, a London post-boy, thrust up be hind the coach I mounted and held him on till we reached a .house half a mile on the way here,where he was attended to. I came on to this place, wherel got a comfortable bed, which, by the Doctor's advice, I kept all yesterday ; I am now up pretty well, and shall proceed to-night towards my destination. It is ascertained that the poor man must have been in the water an hour ; and could never have been more elevated than to save suffocation. He has been taken to town, and I trust may re , cover ; the horses were got out soon after one of them dead." • TO CORRESPONDENTS. For Mr. PINSENT'S Letter to the Right lion. Taos.

SOLEN QUIS DICERE F.iLSUM AULII,4T LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9_9, 1821. The remaining French Papers of Tuesday, as well as a Flanders and a Hamburgh Mail, the Nuremberg Correspondent to the 18th inst., and Frankfort Papers to the 9.2 d, have arrived since our last, from which we give extracts in our pre ceding columns. They bring no confirmation of the reported insurrection at Constantinople, but it would appear that credit was bi.giuning to be attached, at Vienna, to this terrible catastrophe It is true, that a letter from Constantinople is said to have been received in London, dated the day alter the insurrection of the Janissaries is stated to have taken place, and which letter takes no notice of such an occurrence, but on the contrary represents the City to be tranquil. The • receipt of this letter of course diminishes the de gree of reliance which was placed on z.evolu tionary rumour, though, from the probability of error as to the dates, the credibility of the story is not yet destroyed. It is impossible to decide on this question, until further accounts shall have been received. We look for them with anxiety ; and in a Co.* days we shall doubtless be put in possession of the truth. • MEXlCO.—(Extract of a Letter.) " CIIARLEqTOWN, (S. C.), Nov. %8.--You wi!l see by the Havannah Papers, that the whole. of Mexico was said to be in possession of the In surgents. This account is premature, for La Vera Cruz had not surrendered when the last account left. That place is to Mexico 'hat Cadiz is to Old Spain, a strong bulwark. The Governor, D'AvILLA, is a firm friend to the pa rent Constitution of Spain." (Extract of a Letter from Havanaah, Nor. 14.) " I am sorry to inform you of the loss of the American ship Packet, Capt. LEA mr, who on her passage from Cadiz to this port, was wrecked off Cayo Rarnano ; the whole crew, with the excep tion of 3 seamen and a merchant, who was passenger on board, perished. The Captain was among the number who escaped drowning, but he died afterwards of thirst on the quays. As yet w. have no names of the passengers that. were oa board." PIIILADELPIIIA,NOY.24.—Arrived the Schopuer John Brown, from Curacoa; the Captain reports that, by arrivals from Laguira, the greatest tran quillity reigned there and at Carracas. Produe was coming into market in great quantities, and considerable shipments were making. HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, DEC. Al though the commerce of this country is much depressed, I am happy to observe that its agri cultural prosperity is far beyond what it ev r was : this is in a great measure owing to the spi rited exertions of the Earl of DALHOUSIE, and. to the continued support of Sir JAMEA Knx Pr to the Agricultural Societies established by his Lordship." Letters from Sidney, New South Wales, dated the 25th of July, have been received. Governor Macoc.;attaiE had just returned from a visit of inspection of the lower colony (Van Dieman's Land), and many useful and necessary reforms were expected to result from the perslnal view he had taken of its situation. Among these, none appeared to be more imperiously called for than the establishment of a separate Court of Justice at Hobart's Town, the want of whi, h was se verely felt among a population every y ear ra pidly increasing by the acquisition of new settlers. Extract of a Letter, dated Bayonne, Dee. 17. —" A commotion of rather a serious nature has taken place in Navarre, where 300 or 400 men of the lower classes have assembled in a .tumul tuous manner, and destroyed several. of the stone pillars set up in honour of the Constitution, but vigorous measures have been taken to . reduce and punish the offenders.
