FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, DEC. 14.—The departure of the Duke of Wellington for London appears to be retarded 'for some days. Ilis Grace will be present at a grand diplomatic dinner, which the Duke de MOutvoorency gives to-morrow. -At half-past eight o'clock last night the King successively transacted business with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Marine. At eleven o'clock this day the Duke de Mont morency had an audience of his Majesty. In the afternoon, the President of the Council of Ministers also held a consultation with his Ma jesty.—( Journal des Damts.) They write from Bordeaux, the 10th Decem ber—" Last night a Spanish courier from Madrid going to Paris, and two English couriers from Paris for Madrid, passed through our city." All the libraries in the Palais Royal have re ceived orders, no longer to expose to sale the work, entitled—" Collection of Authentic aka ,:nents respecting the Captive of St. Helena." The same measure was then adopted with respect to the 'Works of Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, Hel- Netitm, kc. M. Llorente,•a Spaniard, author of the History -of the Inquisition, and ,other works eminently sublime in the eyes of the Con stitutionnel, has been ordered to quit Paris in the space of 24 hours. Reports have been circulated of a peace be tween France and Spain. The persons who spread these reports seem to be better informed on the subject than we are. We have never ceased to demand of them the explanation of one thing, which still appears so problematical. They say that peace is concluded. We ask with -whom ? Is it with the Revolution of Spain ? But will they tell us what are the conditions of that peace ? What guarantees does the revolu tion offer to legitimacy ? What pledges does legitimacy give to the -revolution ? Shall the latter continue as it still is ? Will it fulfil to morrow .what it has promised to-day ?It would be impossible for us to answer those questions. — We know nothing further upon the preliminaries -of this enigmatic peace. Who has heard Beg°. ciations upon this subject'? Where are the diplo matic notes, or the declarations of principles ? Who has prepared this peaCe? Who is it that has concluded it? Can any one shew us the signature of the revolution.? or of legitimacy ? Do not these re semble a little visionary tale ? What import ance can be attached to these rumours ? We are told, indeed, that peace has been made, but no one can tell us where, between whom, or how, and on what condition it has been made. It is true that peace has been spoken of at the Ex change ; but brokers are not Plenipotentiaries, nor is the Exchange a Congress. It is also true that peace is spoken of in the Journals, but the articles of Journals are not diplomatic notes, still less treaties of peace. Thus in the impossibility of resting these rumours upon any rational foun dation, we remain in a state of uncertainty until a new order of things take place.—(Quotidienne.) CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 10.—The two follow ing letters from Constantinople, dated November 10 and 11, are in the _Augsburg Gazette. The first says, " The fears which I have entertained since the dangerous measures of Government relative to money and bullion are rea lized. The discontent of the people and of the Janissaries broke out to-day in a manner so as to disturb the repose of the capital. The Janissaries advanced from all sides towards the Seraglio, and manifested their hatred for Haleb Effendi, and even for the Sultan. _ • " Seditious cries were uttered, and a violent tumult prevail ed round the Palaces. No Christian dared to shew himself in the streets. The Sultan, suspecting some great danger, endeavoured to allay the storm by throwing handfuls of gold among the soldiers; but he purchased a momentary calm at a dear rate. Haleb Effendi is said to have sacrificed his treasures on this occasion, but he will hardly escape destruc tion, the people are so much enraged against him. The Grand 'Vizier, who endeavoured to restore order with the Asiatic troops, was received by the Janissaries with loud imprecations. " The plague has made fresh progress for 15 days. " The Porte preserves profound silence relative to the events in the Morea, in Thessaly, and in the islands ; and this silence -seems to indicate every thing which the Greeks could desire. " Three Tartars arrived from Trebisond have brought news that the Persians had gained a victory. The Divan, it is said, immediately ordered the Pacha, who commands on that side, to conclude peace, even on disadvantageous terms. It remains however to be seen if the Persians will not profit by the embar rassment of the Turks to continue the war. " P.S. Nov. 12.—The capital is somewhat more tranqUil.— The Sultan has been obliged to make great concessions to the Janissaries, for it is announced that Haleb Effendi and Barber Baschi are banished into Asia. The Grand Vizier, who has been very generally hated since 'he caused so many Turks to be put to death, is to be depriVedof his,office. The Janissaries .;say, that Haleb Effendi is become a Giaour. The Bostandgt Paschi, it is said, will succeed the Grand Vizier. It is no . however supposed that these ,measures alone will -t.tore tran - quality. The Janissaries will make use of the victory which • they have gained, and ,Haleb Effendi will hardly escape from the fury of his enemies." (From another Correspondent.) " Nov. 11.--We have suffered - a crisis to-day, which has :inenaced the life of the Sultan and his Ministers. The Grand 'Vizier has been violently insulted by the Janissaries, who de -rnand his head and the head of Haleb Effendi. , At the moment of danger, he called out the Asiatic troops from the camp of Bujukdere, under the orders of Ibraham Pacha; a bloody contest was the result, in which the Janissaries were victorious. 1 have ventured into the streets, but having found them filled with Janissaries, immediately returned home. The Sultan, it is said, has sent Haleb Effendi away. Should this news be confirmed, the, Janissaries will demand Much greater sacrifices from the, Sultan. the crisis has been cruel, but from what we see, much greater events are in preparation." • _ VIENDLA,, DEC. 2.--According to the latest ac counts from Constantinople, of the 9th and 11th of November, important changes have taken •place in,the Ministry. For a considerable time past the complaints of the Janissaries have become more vehement and loud against Halet Effendi, who, it is well known, has for several years exercised the most decisive , influence on the affairs of the state, as President e Council ) and latteily as Keeper of the Seals. At the beginning of November the veterans of the corps assembled to draw up a petition to the Sultan, in which, in respectful but fun language, they pointed out that favourite as one of the chief authors of the evils that had befallen the Otto man empire, and requested that he might be re moved from office. Abdallah Pacha, who enjoys high credit with the Janissaries, and has several times succeeded in making them return to their obedience, took it upon him, at their request, to present their petition to the Sovereign, and ac companied it with an energetic memorial of his own. _ . Sultan Mahmoud was resolved, first of all, to convince himself by his own eyes of the truth of the statements. He traversed the streets of Con stantinople on the 9th in the strictest incognito, as he now frequently does. The most profound tranquillity prevailed. He spoke with several persons who met him. The information which he obtained on this occasion decided his purpose. In the same night the Grand Vizir, Salih Pacha, and the Mufti, both creatures of Halet Effendi, were deposed, and the seals of the Empire given to the above-mentioned Abdallah Pacha, witi; latterly commanded the army sta tioned att Scutari. The vacant place of Mufti was given, to Sidke Sadi, the memlter of the body of Ulm* who, as President of the Conferences, was present at all the negociations of Lord Strangford with the Turkish Ministry. It was easily to be foreseen that these mea sures would be followed by others. In fact, Halet Effendi himself received orders on the 10th, in the afternoon, to leave the capital; a Capidgi Baschi accompanied him to Brussa, where he is to await his further destiny. At the same time the head barber, and the Chief of the coffeehouses, two officers of lialet's family, in the interior of the seraglio, were dismissed and ba nished to Asia. The fall of that powerful favourite will probably be followed by the re moval of many others of his adherents. The reports latterly circulated, of discontents having broken out among the Janissaries , in the capital, are false : tranquillity has not been a moment disturbed. The Government is vigilant to preserve it, and the Sultan endeavours to con vince himself personally that his orders are exe cuted. S EMU ( 4 7, Nov. 26. r.m.—Christians just arrived from Belgrade say—" A. messenger from Con stantinople had arrived there in six days (he must therefore have left that city on the 20th) with news that the discontent of the Janissaries and people had at length broken out into acts of violence.; that Sultan Mahmoud, to save his life, had caused Valet-Effendi, the Chief Barber, and the Grand Vizier, to be beheaded, and the other Ministers to be sent into Asia." Another ac count says, all the Ministers had been cut to pieces by the Janissaries. These are the state ments of the travellers from Belgrade, which we, however, cannot in the least guarantee. It is certain that on the sth Nov., satirical songs on llalet-Effendi were publicly sung in all the suburbs of Constantinople, and that they contain ed the most violent abuse and threats against the Sultan himself. A copy of these songs is in the hands of the Paella of Belgrade. FRENCH COMMERCE AND MANUFACTURES, ( Extract of a Letter, dated Paris December 14.) It will be remembered that the Journals lately stated that the Council-General of Commerce had presented an Address to his MAJESTY, peti tioning strongly in favour of the preservation of peace. The same Journals contained shortly the substance of that representation. A petition for peace from such a body could not fail to ob tain attention. The Council-General of Com merce is composed of the most eminent merchants and bankers, not only in the capital, but in the other cities and sea-ports of France. It consists of about 50 members, 20 of whom are nominated directly by the Minister of the Interior, and the rest by the Chambers of Commerce. His Ex cellency is President, and appoints the Vice- President. The opinions of such a body are not likely to be factious or revolutionary, and there is every reason to suppose that the Cabinet did not think its advice unworthy of attention, though its representations have hitherto remained unpublished. The Council-General of Manufactures have likewise presented an energetic remonstrance against the commencement of hostilities. This Council, like that of Commerce, is composed of the most eminent individuals, whose capitals are invested, or whose labours are employed, in manufactures, whether resident ih Paris or in the provinces. The Minister of the Interior is like wise its President, and has the nomination of 20 of its Members. : It may seem strange that both these bodies sho r uld have left their petition in the hands of the ve'ry . Minister who presides at their meetings, •and not have insisted on.carrying•them directly to the fobt of the Throne. Hence re sults the care witlywhich their representations have beeii,kept from the public. Of the latter have been so -fortunate as to obtain a copy, and shall lay before you the principal passages " Sire,--The Council-General of Manufactures, called by the confidence of your Majesty to give your Majesty its opi nions on whatever interests that important branch of the public prosperity, would think that it failed in its most imperious duty if it did not respectfully express to your Majesty the alarms and anxiety which are produced by the sinister reports of an approaching war with Spain. " The recent depreciation of the public funds is but a feeble indication of the terror which is manifested in our warehouses and manufactories. In the latter that terrior has been more striking than on the Stock Exchange, and its consequences are still more lamentable. In the speculations of the public funds, the least combination of circumstances—the most feeble ray of hope—can lead to a salutary re-action ; but among mer chants and manufacturers, when confidence is once shaken, credit is contracted in a frightful degree, and the effect exists long after the cause has disappeared. The dealers, dreading the stoppage of their sales, have counternmnded the orders which they had 'given. Already in several manufactories workmen have been dismissed. What would be the conse quence if our fears were realized. " Considerations of a higher order, and worthy of particular attention, have•fixed the solicitude of the Council of Illanu. factures ; these considerations it takes the respectful freedom of submitting to the enlightened view of your Majesty, as the 'necessary results of a rupture with Spain. Considerable %ums are due by Spain to French manufacturers. The first act of hostility on the part of France would lead to the sequestr:ation and loss of the funds and the credits of French sub jects, and all our relations with Spain would be broken ; while the merchants of other countries would not only be maintained in their rights, but would not fail to obtain privileges in fa vour of the neutral or friendly flag. " But this is not all. A crowd of adventurers, whose mis chievous activity has been chained for some years by the peace, expect with impatience in our own ports, and those of the Penin sula, a rupture between the two countries, in order to obtain from the Spanish Government letters of marque, authorizing them to pursue on all seas our shipping, ill prepared for attacks of this kind. On the other hand, the commerce of the American colonies will fall entirely into the hands of England and the United States. The habit of dealing with their merchants will prevent for a long time our intercourse with several important regions, where the use of our language and other circumstance s had created dispositions favourable to the consumption of our commodities. " No military success can indemnify French commerce for the disadvantages of commencing hostilities ; the Council ze strains itself from reflections on a reverse. " The members of the Council General of Manufactures, as heads and directors of establishments which employ thousands of individuals of the most improvident classes of the nati'on, bear witness to the justness of the alarms which the manufacturers express on the dangers to which the interruption of the labours of their workmen would expose public order, particularly in the cities. These manufacturers justly point our attention to the circumstances, that provisions and articles of the first necessity have, for some years past, been at a very low price in France, while wages, on the contrary, have risen; that a great number of labourers habituated to a country life derive from that state of things facilities of obtaining ease and comforts which they could with difficulty renounce ; and that, in fine, malevolence might be easily listened to by such a population addicted to activity, and for a long time familiarized to dangers. " The Council General of Manufactures checks in itself even the idea of darkening the presages which its duty compels it to declare ; but it has not heard without painful surprise, as mo tives and argument decisive of hostilities, expressions which are familiar to flatterers of all times, and which appear in pre sent circumstances only a parody of the adulation with which the Imperial Government was intoxicated in the last moment oflits existence. The true glory of the Bourbons has long been attached to acts of justice, prudence, and love for French men. " The heir of the throne of our ancient Kings has illustrious examples before him to induce him to teach to Europe anew, that twenty-five millions of men compose the family of a King of France. " United in love for the immortal author of the Charter, your faithful subjects, Sire, approach with confidence the throne of your Majesty, and implore your Majesty to maintain a peace so necessary to complete our institutions, and to favour the de velopements of that commerce and industry which are destined to replace France in the rank to which she is' entitled among the nations. " Full of hope in your royal paternal bounty, we are with profound respect, " THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL 'OF • MANUFACTURES." It is reported that an address of this kind was first suggested by M. Ternaux, the Deputy for the department of the .Seine, who, as having 30 different manufacturing establishments in different parts of France and of Europe, was best entitled to speak with energy against a war by which all manufacturing industry would have bee❑ so deep ly injured. For thus stirring in the cause, though one of the most respectable members of the Le. gielature, be has been taunted by the Ultra papers as interfering with the state. when he ought .to be attending to his manufactories, and desired to renounce politics for his cashmeres and merinos. Having obtained with difficulty a copy of the original project which he presented to the Commission appointed to draw up the address, I now send it to you. M. Ternaux, it will be seen, found his representations in favour of peace more on reasons of state than the ad dress that was finally adopted. The. two first paragraphs of M. Ternaux's pro posed address are the same as in the preceding : it then proceeds thus : " It does not belong to us to discuss whether, without offending against the laws of justice and morality, the right el interference in the affairs of a country can be exercised by one state with respect to another equally independent; or, sup posing this right to exist, .whether France and the Allied Powers are placed in a situation which renders it necessary for them to exercise it with regard to Spain. " We shall not examine whether it is prudent for the ab solute monarchies of the West and the North to confederate, in order to control or judge the operation, more or less regular, of the wisest monarchical or constitutional systems of the south— whether several or some of the latter would act conscientiously and wisely in supporting the pretensions of the former—or whether the federation of absolute or even of constitutional governments may not provoke or justify the same measure on the part of the republican governments, each party acting ac cording to their own views of their respective interests. " As little does it belong to us to describe what humanity might have to suffer from an armed intervention, which, by exasperating party hatred among our neighbours, would give more bitterness to the civil war ; how much moral feeling might have to regret the giving assistance to the cause of men whose pretensions and opinions are .supported by foreign bayonets against those who defend the independence of their country ; or, finally, to inquire whether Majesty itself would not be compromised by an interference which might occasion in Spain a repetition of our horrible crisis of 1793. " All these considerations must be too well appreciated by your Majesty's wisdom and high views of policy, for us to need to suggest them as' motives for averting from your sub jects the evils of a war, the engaging in which would be so in fatuated with respect to our interest, that the advice could-only be giyen by men constantly accustomed to sacrifice the public welfare to their self-interests or their passions. " sire, we do not fear -to state, that were even the most bril liant success toattend our:anus, no useful result would be ob tained for France; on the contrary, independently of a dread ful loss of men and money, the chief burden of which falling on France, would place her, after having exhausted herself, at the mercy of allies who excite her to go to war ; we should, from that moment, and for an incalculable time, see the agri culture and the manufactures of France languish. The pay ment of the French creditors of Spain, who are very numerous, would be suspended, or perhaps entirely cut off, as well as our commerce with the whole of the Peninsula ; whilst our rivals, consulting their interests better, would profit at our expence by all that our want of foresight would cause us to lose. How much more unfortunate would be our situation if our arms should experience the reverses to which they might sustain from a people driven to despair ? The importance - of the enormous losses to our commerce which would inevitably result from such an event, is not the only misfortune which we ought to dread from a war of opinion rather than of necessity. Its result would infallibly be to en. danger the social order by which we are governed, by giving power to the factions which are in motion around the Throne, some of whom would derive from success pretensions for the re turn to an ancient ordel of things which can no longer exist; whilst others would see in a reverse the oppoefunity for reviv ing anarchical chimeras, which might compromise along with the constitutional charter, the existence of your dynasty and the safety of the Throne—of that protecting Throne around which all Frenchmen will rally, fully convinced that it is under its tegis they will find true liberty ; and that if the irritation of parties may occasionally injure the State, and retard the course of prosperity, which must result from the masterpiece of mo dern legislation, the light cloud will he dissipated by your wis dom and firmness in support of your work. " Full of confidence in your paternal kindness, we respect fully subscribe ourselves your Majesty's faithful subjects, -" THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL COUNCIL OF MANUFACTURES." NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, DEC. 14. in Consequence of the restoration of order, the naval force in the Tyne has been relieved from the laboriou s duties which they have in long performed, and his Majesty's ships Egeria, IVi r lnrod, and Swan, have sailed from the port. Previous to their departure, the Mayor of Newcastle, ROBERT BELL, Esq. (whose exertions were truly indefatigable during the whole period of- the disturbances), conveyed to Captain NicoLAs, of the Egeria, the senior officer, the cordial thank* of the civil authorities to himself, Captain Rocur OnT, of the Nimrod, Lieut. STEWART, late of the Swan, Lieut. APLIN, now of the Swan, Lieut. STEWART, first Lieut. of the Egeria, who commanded the boats, and the Officers, Seamen, and Marines of the several ships, for their zealous and indefatigable exertions in support of the civil power, and in preserving order on the River. Neither have the Gentlemen interested in the Coal-trade been deficient in expressing their gratitude. At a general meeting held on Wednesday, the thanks of the body were unanimously voted to the naval force, for their great and eminent services in protecting the Trade of the River during the late disturbances. The acknowledgments of the civil au thorities, and of the Gentlemen interested in the Coal-trade, have likewise been conveyed to Colonel Holmes, of the third Dragoon Guards, ,Lieut.-Col. Brandling, of the Northumber land and Newcastle Volunteer Cavalry, and the Hon. Captain Liddell, of the RavensworthCavalry, for their services in sup port of the civil power, and for the exemplary conduct of the troops under theii command. The following are copies of letters addressed to Lieut.-Col. Holmes, of the 3d Dragoon Guards : " Clerk of the Peace's Office for Northumbertlnd, Newcastle, 12th December, 1322. " Srn,--I am desired by the Magistrates acting for Castle Ward, in the cotthty of Northumberland, to convey to you their sense of the obligation you have conferred upon them, by the manner in which you have performed a very important and arduous duty, during the late disturbances among the keelmen of the port of Tyne ; and I am, at the same time, deSired to say, that the Magistrates request you will be pleased to con vey to the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the distinguished regiment under your command, how highly they appreciate the zeal, firmness, and uniform good conduct they displayed on all occasions, while employed in assisting the civil power.

[lt is not a little extraordinary, (says our Correspondent) that 'rim VERY HANDSOME LETTER transmitted by the Right Hon. the Home Secretary, two or three weeks ago, to Colonel BRANDLING, the Commanding-officer of the Northumberland Yeomanry Cavalry, which was the medium of conveying his MAJESTY'S most gracious Thanks to that distinguished Regi ment, for their services and exemplary conduct during the stoppage of the Tyne Keelmen, has not been submitted to the public.—To whatever cause the omission may be ascribed, the Corps cannot possibly regard the circumstanceotherwise than as acting in diminuendo of their well.earned popularity.] THE LATE TRUE BRITON. IN THE MATTER OF STOCKDA LE, A BANIC' RUPT, ex-parte LORD KENYON. The Commissioners under this commission , Messrs. MITFORD, GLYN, Twrss, and METCALFE, were occupied a considerable part of yesterday and Saturday, at the Southampton Coffee-housei in investigating a proof of debt to the am ount of 5,0001. tendered by Lord KENYON against the Bankrupt's estate. The case for the creditors • was conducted by Mr. G: PHILLIPS, as Counsel.and Mr. H. NEELE, as Solicitor; th at of Lord Kenyon by Mr. MARRYATT, as . Counsel, and air. EDGE, as Solicitor: On the part of the creditors it was contended, that Lori Kenyon was a partner with the bankrupt, as proprietor the True Briton newspaper, and therefore liable for all th i e debts of that concern. lie could not, therefore, be aloe° to prove in competition with his own creditors. From the evidence of the bankrupt, it appeared that the True Brit oll _, was established in the spring of 1820, Messrs. Swift, Ber l e' 'and Stockdale, were the proprietors; but all the funds were W be supplied by Lord Kenyon. His Lordship was to be th e appellee in all disputes between the parties, and the pa was to be conducted on strict constitutional principles, cru d and religious, of which Lord Kenyon was to be the judge. Lord Kenyon was also to apportion the profits of the Paper among the parties, according to the quantum meruit of their exertions' —He had also the power of dismissal : and in the event of the profits of the Paper becoming large or enormous, he was at liberty to apply them to the support of other Papers, the dir tribution of tracts, and the assistance of such charities as his Lordship might think fit. 111r.MAR1tYATT contended that from this evidence it was iv': possible to fix Lord Kenyon as a partner. His Lordship 1109 merely as the friend of the parties, assisted them with money' and had taken upon himself the office of arbitrator in case airy disputes should arise among them. He had not, in any in stance, appeared as a partner, nor had he in the slightest der' participated in the profits. Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS, on the other hand, argued at con siderable length, that the fact of Lord Kenyon's joint Po' prietorship in the True Briton Newspaper had been cleari e l established. It was true that his Lordship had not der any profit from it, as it turned out, but he might have der ive "' considerable profit. Lord K. was known to be a very el ls ' ritable man. Ile profits might perhaps exend .500 y t chs; rities, and if the of the True p Briton had amounted that sum, they might have benefited him to that amount, Wi asmuch as he could apply them to that purpose, instead t : a drawing upon his private property. But the paper bene fi .„, his Lordship in another, although not in a pecuniary, in a way, however, which to a person of his Lordship's rn, and consideration in the country was much more imperta°,, He was known to be the head of the Anti-Catholic party this country, and for the purpose of furthering the o bjects . that party he had established a Newspaper, devoted to its W terests. His Lordship must therefore bear the consequence9t; and it was only one proof, among many, of the unfortt los issue of political speculations. The COMMISSIONERS were clearly of opinion that the f°: t , of a partnership had been proved ; they therefore decided Lord Kenyon must pay off all the debts of the True Brl ir , before he could be allowed to come in and prove against ' 7 Stockdale's private estate. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. 4 ,, By private expresses received early this nio'", A te° ing, information has been communicated from Paris, . 1 I 0 late in the evening of Saturday last.

On the Royal Exchange an operation was effected:fir morning, which, no doubt, will cause a rise in public Toe rities at Paris to-morrow afternoon. A very small sumo'oo Spanish Loan of 1821 was purchased at 60, and an expres s ., instantly dispatched to Paris quoting a considerable ad'l.;4oi It is by such operation that the impossibility arises of int,,ne'vti; the public opinion on public affairs from the prices of V' e fe nental European securities.
