FOitEIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, JAN. 17.—Yesterday evening the I):lchess of Orleans was happily delivered of a i';-ince, who has received the title of Duke of ivzmale. Yesterday the funeral of the Duchess of Bour bcit took place without pomp, as directed in her lore than fifty sailors have been lost on the coast of Dieppe in the late storm. • ADeputation from the Chamber . was selected es the desire of the King, to attend the solemn peremonies to be performed on the 21st, the an niversary of the death of Louis - XVI. From the East of Europe it is stated, that the Greeks of Cassandra, who lately were defeated there, have resumed offensive measures on the rr:ival of a reinforcement in the Gulf of Con teTsa, and have advanced to Panomi, a place aLout 15 leagues distant from Salonica. We have received from Barcelona, dated the 21 Jan., details respecting the events that took place on the 30th Dec.—The Captain General Villacampa, in vain used every effort to bring back the soldiers, to their duty. Two regiments oi artillery, - which Were at Santander ) set at nought his authority, and marched for Barcelona. WI the intelligence arriving of their march, the Commandant of the National Guards of Barcelona Le - at the Generale, and assembled 6000 militia, who sent forth a detachment to receive the two initurg,ent corps. After useless harangues ad tressed to the factious by General Villacampa, that faithful Commandant fled from a rebellious t.ity. It is believed that he has proCeeded to Madrid. The factious have si g ned an address to the King, entitled, " the Glorious Day of iliacelona."—,(Gazette de France.) FRENCH FUNDS. Jan. 18, Five per Cents. AN. 18.—The Duchess of Orleans slept little in the night, but both she and the infant Duke d'Au male are doing well. The merchant ship La Papillon, which left Constantinople on the 15th of last Dec - ember, is lately arrived at Toulon, and brings the follow hig intelligence :—" Every preparation for war i going on at Constantinople, and the fortifica tions which surround the town are . beginning to auume a formidable appearance. The Grand Signior passes daily in review the numerous bo dies of troops which pass through Constantinople, on their way from Asia to the Danube." The following is the substance of our corre spondence from abroad, received this day : " Artillery and munitions of war have arrived at V . ie Russian quarters on the Banks of the Pruth. Saiih Pacha, the Commandant of Jassy, has re ceived orders to evacuate Moldavia, and to send. the heavy artillery to Brailow; but the Janissa ries in his army would not allow the artillery to be taken back to the Danube. A great fermen tation reigns among the Ottoman troops at Jassy. it is asserted that the Div:sn has requested; through the English and Austrian Ambassadors, a third delay, for replying to the Ultimatum of the Russian Cabinet." In Sweden, the army is to have an increase of rainy battalions of Chasseurs: I:.NCIi FUNDS. :Inn. 17, Five per tents Bank Stock 85 f. 80 c. .1333 f. c. PETERSCLTRGii, DEC. 26.---Nothing transpires h.t!re respecting the progress of the negociations, (kr of the resolutions of oar Court ; but we can azlrrn that hitherto no species of arrangement as been concluded ►cith the Ottoman Porte. CortFu, DEC. 3.-Arta was taken by assault by the Greeks, on the 10th December. After two murderous combats, on . the 23d and 24th IV:ivernber, the Greeks entered the. town, making known to the three Pachas, who still held the etadel, that, if they wished to avoid a further _effusion of blood, they hadbetter capitulate, and surrender a place which .they could no longer ri,aintain. On their refusal the Greeks attacked th,c;.. place ,at three different points ; Bozaris, the S:tliote Chief, and Hvsios, the Acarnanlan Chief, panted the standard of independence, at the yarn; time, on different points of the ramparts.— The enemy abandoned the ramparts, and th rew theinselves into the Citadel, where, assailed by a superior force, Pacha hey was reduced to the last extremity, and surrendered at discretion. The principal prisoners taken by the Greeks at Arta are the above-named. Ismail Paella. Bey, Pacha ofianina ; Ismail Pliassa, Pacha of Berat, t;:e eapit.ai of Lower Albania ; and Hassan Pacha. besides the treasures of, these three Pachas, there was also found in the place a part of the wealth which the Turkish troops had pillaged some months before in the town of Calarita. Arta is the key to Epirus Acarnania and'Etolia, 8:i which it commands by its' position. The Greeks intend to appear to make it the centre of their military operations. Boyars marched from' Arta on the 2d of De ce:mber, with 2,000 men, to' punish a tribe of Albanians, who had violated a convention of neutrality, concluded between the Suliotes and them, last Spring, and had set fire to a Greek yllage in the district of Paramythia. There remain 14,000 men at Arta, and 1,200 fnen occupy the advantageous position of Placo, near Janina. These troops consist of Suliotes, Acarnanians, Etolians, Tookedes, and Chirnar kiotes, all inured to feigue and privation. AUGSBURG, JAN. 12.--It is reported that Prince Demetrius Ypsilanti is to assume the command in chief of the Greek troops sent to wrest Candia from the dominion of the Turks. . The blockade of Patras is continued by the Greeks, who have repulsed several sor:ies. Co lQcotroni, who commands the Greekk, has re ceived some artillery,' and several skilful artil lf±ry officers, who have recently arrived in the Morea from the West, are procee - ding to join him. Jussuf Paella has thrown himself into Patras, and s:•erns resolved to defend it to the last extremity. F ItANItFORT, JAN. 10.—It is asserted that the losses sustained by many of our speculators, in cousequence of the false intelligeree published by the house et Rothschild in order to raise the Austrian funds, are very considerable. We learn from. Petersburgh that the Cossacks of the Don have received orders to proceed to the Dniester, where they will be informed of their ulterior destination. SPAIN. MADRID, JAN. s.—An express has arrived to day from Barcelona with a representation from the military and regular troops in that city re questing his Majesty to dismiss the present Ministers. We know that the public tranquillity was not interrupted either in Barcelona or in any part of that province. [PRIVATE CORRESPONDENGE,..YAII. 6.] By this time the factious at Seville are in the hands of justice ; for, according to the latest accounts, Gen. Campoverde was marching on that town with several regiments and some artillery to execute the orders of the Government; and as most. of the inhabitants impatiently await his arrival to shake off . the despotism of the revolutionists, we are almost certain that tranquillity will be established in that capital on the arrival of the troops. At length the King has decided respect ing the change of his Ministers, and their Ekcel lencies.are to remain in office. The King after having directed the Council of State to present him the names of the Candidates, first applied to the liberal party in private to ascertain their senti ments.on the Ministers proposed by the Council. This' party, loudly spoke against the new nomi nations, upon which his Majesty directed this party to ; give hhn another list of Candidates, chosen from among 'the', Liberals. This done,: the Kin;" next consulted the majority of the Cortes, who disapproved of- these men: every where the same difficulty presented itself, and on whichever side the King turned, he found only' parties and passions. 11i4 Ma jesty was in this predicament when the pre sent Ministers requested _leave a second time to resign ; not only, however, did the King de cline to accept their resigoarionc, but he added, that he considered his fate as connected 'with that of the Ministry, and perceived tie must either stand by it or fall. " If," said his Ma jesty, " a sacriligeous hand dare to attack the Throne, or attempt to infringe the laws, it is possible that my fall is inevitable ; but I am, notwithstanding, resolved on maintaining my dignity, and punishing those who are diso bedient to the C overnment and the orders of the King." His Majesty added, that he would pre sently inform them what was necessary to, be done to bring back the disaffected to a little reason. Murcia has declared itself hostile to the Go yernment. [Another Private Letter of Jan. 7.] Various rumours are in circilation respecting the change of Ministry ; but it is believed that before any change takes place, the effect of some great measure will be tried. A letter from Irtm, contained in the Universal, states that notwith standing the supplies of arms and munitions which they have received the Servile insurgents have made no head. CORTES EXTRAORDINARY. The Penal Code is still under discussion. The Sitting of the 4th was interesting enough ; the point in discussion related to the subjection of Ecclesiastics to the Civil Tribunals, in like man ner as other citizens, excepting for offences against the Church discipline, for which they are responsible to their ecclesiastical superiors. The article was approved.--In the Sitting of the Gth, various articles relative to the appointment of the new Provincial Governors were discussed. CADIZ, DEC. 28.—The Journal of this city contains various intelligence from South America, referring to private letters. One from Porto Rico, of the 2321 October, says, " a vessel which arrived here yesterday, from Puerto Cabello, states that Col. Alejo is in the open country witl► '2OOO men, chiefly cavalry, and that his brother, who commands a guerilla corps, has been joined by 800 men, who have come over to him from the troops of Bolivar, among whom there seems to be much discontent, especially among the peo ple of colour, who come from all quarters to join these two brothers, who defend with enthusiasm the cause of Spain. General Morales went to Curacao, to receive from the emigrants in that island 50,000 piastres, which they had offered for the pay of our troops, of which they deliver ed to him 30,000, promising to remit the remain ing 20,000 in a month, with a quantity of arms, ammunition, and clothing. Some of the emi grants returned from Curacao with General Mo rales to Puerto Cabello, where it is believed firmly that by next Christmas the city and pro- Vince of Caraccas will be in our power, consider ing the forceslvhich are assembling for this purpose. Bolivar has retired towards the mountainous country, harassed by our guerrillas in all direc tions. Two of our privateers fitted out at Puer to Cabello have taken many prizes from the In surgents." Letters from Vera Cruz of 28th October, an nounce the evacuation of that place by the Spa nish troops commanded by General Davila, and its the occupation by the Insurgents. No dis turbance of any kind had occurred.=Let ters from the Havanna!), Bth November, are also inserted in our Journals, announcing the surren der of Carthagena to the Insurgents, and the en trance of San Martin into Li►na • on the 13th July, which, it is stated, will inevitably be fol lowed by the loss of the Isthmus. CEUTA, DEC. 26.—The latest official accounts respecting the civil war in the Empire come down to the 7th instant ; they state that the people of Tetuan would not receive the Com missioners of Muley Soliman, because there had arrived just before a courier from Old Fez, with letters from Maley Zeid, who, according to a confidential letter which Piloty has written from New Fez, appears to have certainly entered that city on the 21st of last month, at the head of 1600 men, and surrounded by a great multitude who went out to meet him. This event, and that of Tetuan, have so offended his Majesty, that he has sent 10,000 cavalry to the latter City, with a sufficient number of artillery for the ser vice of 4 mortars and a 24 Pounder, all corn maaded by the General of the Negroes, called • Alcaide Farasty, He has also sent 2,000 spades, shovels and pickaxes, to destroy all that the ar tillery may leave standing of that unfortnnate place. It seems that the principal attack is to begin on the 7th, and that his Majesty intends to proceed to Tetuan immediately after the 3d day of the festival of Milud, which the Mussul men begin on the Bth. MURCIA, DEC. SO.—Among the occurrences of these few last days, the . Proclamation of the Po litical Chief Saavedra deserves , especill mention. This curious document is dated the 27th : • Murciano ! This evening I received, by express, a dispatch from the Government, and immediately resolved to assemble the Authorities and Officers of the Militia, to acquaint them with its contents, and determine what was proper, " conforma bly to the sacred oath which we have taken, not to obey the present Ministry." He adds, that the Authorities being as sembled, the dispatch was found to contain the Resolution of the Cortes, that there Were grounds for proceeding against the Political Chief of Seville. The Junta of the Authorities do not publish this in obedience to the Minister of the Interior, but because the arrival of the express is known, and they think fit to let the people know what it brought—protesting that they will - never violate their oath, but rather perish than de part from the path they have taken, which they think to be the only means of supporting the Constitution and liberty of the country. • PORTUGAL. , LISBOIV, DEC. 30.—The chief subjects of dis cussion that have lately occupied the attention of the Cortes, are the project of the Constitution, and the establishment of a National Bank at 'Lisbon. The opinion of the Committee of Finance on the foundation of public banks, applied to the redemption of the paper currency, was first intro duced to the Cortes in the Sitting of the 13th of December.—The Committee states, that on ma ture consideration of all the memorials presented to it on the subject, it judges that this is as fa vourable a 'moment as can be wished for the foundation of a public Bank, which, besides car rying on the operations usual in all the most re spectable banks in Europe, may concur at the same time in the extinction of the paper cur rency. The quantity of the latter now in circu lation does not exceed 9,000 contos (a conto is a million) of rees, which is far less than the amount of the specie existing in the country ; since it appears that in the mint of Lisbon alone, there have been coined since 1807, 19,800 contos of rees in silver ; to this must be added the silver coined before 1807, which constitutes about the seventh part or the coin in circulation. The Committee does not hesitate to say, that the greater part of this money actually exists in the kingdom, and though the balance of foreign trade is in general' unfavourable, and large sums in silver go out of the kingdom, yet the * Portu guese gold coin, and the Spanish patacas, which never go out of the kingdom, are more than equal in value to the silver exported. The pro ject of the Committee, consisting of 31 Articles, was successively discussed in several succeeding sittings, and the diseussion was concluded on the 27th of December. All the Articles proposed by the Committee were approved, most of them without- any debate; some gave occasion to pretty long arguments for and against them, and a few changes were agreed to. The Charter of the Bank is for 20 years, during which no other Corporation of this nature shall be established in Portugal, with the privileges granted to this. The 9th Article, allowing the Bank to discount and negociate bills of exchange, and all similar papers, usual in commercial transactions, caused a long debate, but was approved. The 10th and 11th Articles, allowing the Bank to lend its finds on all species of merchan dise and moveable property, and also on real property, with power to sell them 101 en the debtor shall not repay in due time the sums so lent, .were both opposed, but carried. The 23d Article, enacting that " the Bank, in return for the privilege granted it, shall contribute to the re demption of the paper currency, by lending, in the first year of its operations, 2,000,000 milrecs, or bank-notes, at 4 per cent. interest, to be paid into the treasury In 20 equal payments," was opposed by several Members in a long debate, but was carried without alteration. The 31st is, " To avoid the forgery to which the . actual paper currency is subject during the time it is to re main in circulation, the Government is autho rised to make the necessary disbursements for the purchase of plates of the invention of the cele brated artist, Perkins, to make new paper cur rency to be substituted for the old." . NEW SOUTH WALES. We have received Sydney Gazettes to the 11th of August, inclusive. Govefnor MACQUAILRIE had returned to Sydney about the middle of July, from a visit of inspection to Van Dieman's Land, and an official account of the present state of that Colony was published in the 4th-icy Ga zette' soon after his arrival. We believe it has already been made public in this country, but a brief sketch of its contents may not be uninte resting. The Governor notices, in appropriate terms of commendation, the numerous most essen tial improvements which had taken place at Ho .bart's_Town, and other parts, since his previous visit in 1811. The number of well-built houses in Hobart's Town are stated at .121, and the po pulation at 2,700 souls. He particularly notices the •erection of a Government House, hand some Church, a commodious military barrack, a strong gaol; a well-constructed hospital, and a roomy barrack for convicts. There was also considerable progress made in the building of a substantial pier at Sullivan's Cove, which, combined with the natural facilities of the place, will, it is alleged, render it one of the best and safest anc!iorage,s in the world. He passes an apparently %veil merited encomium on the indus try and spirit of enterprize manifested by the in habitants of Hobart's Town, and gives due share of praise to Lieut. Governor Sobel!, for his wise regulations and judicious arrangements, as hav ing excited and fostered that disposition, on the part of the inhabitants, from which all the im- provements enumerated have resulted. The Go vernor makes an equally favourable report with regard to the advancing state of • the • settle ments at Port Dalrymple, Launceston, George Town, &c. Three lines of roads are in the course of formation from the capital to various parts of the island, one of them extending to the distance of I'2o miles. The geheral population of Van Dieman's Land is stated at 6372 souls, exclusive of the civil and military officers; and it contains 28,838 head of horned cattle, 182,468 sheep, 421 horses, and 10,633 acres of land in cultivation. By the introduction of \ the Merino breed of sheep the quality of wool grown in the colony was rapidly improving, and it was ex pected that it would soon obtain such a degree of perfection as to render it a most valuable ex, port to the mother country. The detachments of the Ist Royal Scots, the 24th, 30th, 34th, 45th 53d, 82d, and 89th regiments, stationed for some time in New South'Wales, had embarked at Syd ney, and were to sail on the 16th of August to join their respective regiments in India. It ap pears from these papers, that the crime of forg ing upon the New South Vales Bank had al ready made its appearance in this colony.— On the 6th of August no less than six men had been tried before the Supreme Court for forging, and uttering knowing to be forged, 101. notes. Four of them were found guilty.—The Gazette of the 11th of Augast'says—" About 2.5 minutes past six, on Wednesday evening, a gale of wind set. in from the southward, which in a few seconds becatn'e a complete hurricane; it, was attended with a fall of rain and a slight shower of hail. The buildings of this town, par ticularly those in exposed situations, were fairly made to totter, and the windows threatened to fall in en masse. We have never, at least tor a number of years, witnessed such a furious gale; which was not, we are happy to say, attended with any disastrous consequence, either on shore or afloat." FOR. THE SUN. Mn. Enrroi—l have read with the greatest astonishment in your Paper of Saturday last (this moment received) a Letter, signed " An English man and a Freeman of Cork," announcing the commencement of a Public Subscription for our Starving Peasanky, here in Ireland. I wish this Gentleman had not been ashamed, in so chari table a cause, to attach his signature to the Ad dre:s, for I have no hesitation to say, that until he does so I shall strongly suspect hint to be no Englishman, no Freeman; but a true-born Irish man, and a Roman Catholic into the bargain, whose principal object is to have it supposed in your Country that the present organized Conspi racy in Ireland has no connexion with Popish in fluence, is partial, and originates from national distress alone. I have only to observe, Mr. Edi tor, that had there existed any occasion at pre sent for raising futrds towards relieving general distress here, measures of precaution would have been adopted, not in London, but in Cork and Dublin, to alleviate, if not avert, so awful and horrible a calamity as famine. But, Sir, the strongest proof I can afford you of the statement of your Correspondent being, if not an absolute falsehood, at least a forced exaggeration, is this conclusive reply which I return him, and chal lenge him to refute—that of the many thousands who have, at various times and places, appeared in arms, and who necessarily must have been the most demoralized and most necessitous of those STA ItirlNG Peasants, not a man of them ever even asked for, much less car ried off, either money, plate, moveables, LI - QUO as, or provisions of any kind ; their sole demand was arms, lead, and gunpowder ; and in a few instances where THEY were not to be ob tained, a SMALL stipulated sum, as declared ex pressly to buy those munitions of rebelliob and massacre. That partial distresses may exist, I will not deny ; but 1 do assert, in no greater de gree than what this unfortunate country, under the dominion of priestcraft and superstition as it is, has been constantly subject to in years pro ducing a less abundant harvest, and a greater degree of tranquillity than the late season has afforded. Certainly, as yet there has in the con duct of the peasantry been no appearance of starvation ; and silly from the dryness of last summer's turf, there should be any general want of fuel, I am at an equal loss to imagine, as the poor are in the habit of making up their little firing and carrying it home, long before the period that the late floods set in. The object of your Correspondent is, I much fear, to delude and draw off the ,attention of Parliament from the true source and origin of the present insurrec tion, which on the testimony of one of the con spirators (F,.‹-ily), executed under the Special Commission at Limerick, has been organizing, gra dually but secretly, for eight years past, he having (as he confessed) been sworn a Member of the Union in the year 181-1, which year witnessed the establishment of the Jesuits in' Ireland. Of this, Sir, you may rest assured, that should any decided appearance of scarcity spew itself, the Subscription towards its relief will emanate here; and until then, [ beg, through your ad mirable Journal, to present my compliments and recognition to your Correspondent, in his real character, not of " An Englishman and a Free man," but of a true-born Paddy and a Jesuit from Cork.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obe dient servant, HARCOURT LEES. Black Rock, Wednewlay, Jan. 16. P.S. In' The Aniidote of next Saturday you will observe my 15th Letter to the People of England, which will perhaps explain the real object your Cork Correspondent has in view. RALPH 1, IMBTON had nearly met with a serious accident a few days ago while hunt ing. His horse after taking a leap fell, and Mr. Lambtou was thrown on the ground, one of his feet remaining fast in the stirrup: the spirited animal immediately rose and galloped off. For tunately, Mr. LamnroN had not been dragged many yards when the buttons by which his boot was fastened at the knee, gave way, and his leg was thus released from the boot, which con tinued fixed in the stirrup.—To this providen tial circumstance Mr. Latubton, who, we rejoice to hear, receiyed no material injury, perhaps owes the preservation of his life.--(Durham Ad vertiser, Jam 17.) 13110:..PARTE , s WiLL.
