This cir cumstance, viewed,in connexion with several sub- . . sequent arrangements, - affords ground for believ ing that Verona will continue for some time longer to be the central point of the important discussions which have been the object of the as sembling of the principal European Cabinets. The influx of strangers of every rank and country has continued ever since the impediments which were opposed to.aresidence in Verona were. in. a great part . removed. The inns are not capable of containing all the new corners, and the smallest • room' lets for • a ducat per day. The Emperor Alexander has purchased, at a high price, several works of art, with which he intends. to enrich the • country he govern's. It is reported that this Mo ..

FROM THE FRONTIERS OF ITALY, NOV. 17.—We have at length received news from Greece down to the 24th of Oc tober, which arc consequently the most recent that it is possible to have. It appears from them that Chourschid Pacha had still his head-quarters at Larissa, and that the news of the pretended evacuation of that town was a fable, which it was easy to suppose—for Larissa is the chief place of arms, and the most important fortresS in Thessaly in the hands of the Turks; and even if' they had been defeated, or constrained to retreat, they would have left a sufficient garrison in Larissa, which is in a condition to make a long defence. The reports which have been spread on the faith of mer chants' letterS of the retreat of the Turks into Macedonia, and the entire evauation of Thessaly, are equally fabulous with the statement of the pretended occupation of Larissa, by the Greeks. What may have given rise to these reports is, that Chour chid has several times left Larissa, and gone to different parts of Thessaly to organise fresh troops, to review different corps, to take measures to prevent a new occupation from Epirus, or as it is reported from several quarters, to restore order in two corps which were in a state of complete disorganization, which had committed various cruelties, and had in consequence had serious affrays with the inhabitants of Thessaly. There is no thing at all said of the Greeks having advanced beyond Liva dia. On the other hand, a report which was circulated at Corfu, and thence propagated to other places, that a considerable corps of the army of Chourschid Pacha had lately advanced by the Thermopylx to attempt ,another invasion of the Morea is not confirmed. hitherto no offensive measure has been taken either for Thessaly or against it, but preparations for an expedition of this nature are making in Epirus, where Prince Maurocordato has been actively engaged for some time in organizing fresh forces, in which he is said to have succeeded beyond 'all expectation. Ile is acknowledged, at least for the moment, by those who command in these countries as their Military. 'Chief, and he directs their operatithis... We have, it is true,.no'nreeise idea of these operations ; it - is how ever known that by means of a corps posted 'near Relarites and Mazzova, Maurocordato has wholly intercepted the com munication between Janina and Larissa, and that this corps has lately been reinforced to enable it to penetrate into the in terior of Thessaly, and effect its junction with Diamenti, who has advanced to Alasona. Chourschid, to hinder all his eons munications with Macedonia from being cut off, has deter minded to send tlie reinforcements which hehas,received from the Danube to Klinovo, where he has passed eight days.— . These measures show that the danger must have been urgent on that side, since he sent his best troops thither. Maurocor. dato is said to have appeared in person before Arta, whither the Turks beaten in Epirus have retired. We do not know what means he possessed to attack .it, or whether he may hope to make himself master of that place, and then advance against Prevesa. The forces of the I%loreots are still kept in the Penin sula, from whiCh their commanders do not think of removing them till the fortresses are taken. The negociations with the Governor of Napoli di Romania continue, but the surrender has not yet taken place, though it appears not to be distant. Patras is blockaded, as it was before the expedition of the .Turks in July, but no attack has been made, the blockading corps. being too weak, and destitute of ammunition. Coron and Modon are still in the hands bf the Turks.—(Nuremberg Cor respondent,'Nov. 25.) [From the Austrian Observer of Nov. 20.] • VIENNA. Nov. 18. I Metalli q ues 86 k Bank-Shares - .- 932 2-5 Nov. 19'. i f 11 B i a etai nk i s ties es - -02 /1 7 7 ,71 1 0 0 General and Field Marshal Baron Laudon died on the 22d Sept.. at his. seat IPadersdoril;. near Vienna. He was descended from an ancient and noble family in the county of Ayr, in Scat. land, a branch of which settled in Livonia, in which. province he was born.at Tortzer in 1767. He first served in .the Russian arniy as "Aide.:de-Camp to 'Prince Potemkin in 1788, and was sent with the'news of the taking of Oczakos to the Austrian head,quartersovhere his uncle, the celebrated Field .Marshal. Laudohn procuied him -'from Joseph H. a commission in the Austrian army. He distinguished himself-in all the campaigns during the wars brought on by the French Revolution, and de servedly attained the - highest honours SPAIN. Of tlie a rticto which, : emain to be noticed the Madrid Pap ers received ,yesterday, the most imporfant are those • whidt have reference to . the fall of the funds, and . to an invasion by France. The observations on these subjects, in the Journal des Debuts, and other Paris Papers, appear to have strongly excited the attention of the public in Madrid. The following article is from the Universal of the 22(1: " When we - received intelligence of the depression which had been experienced in Paris, in the French and foreign funds, we diligently sought to ascertain what could have produced so ex traordinary a phenomenon. We immediately guessed that the avarice of certain speculators had been the principal cause, and subsequent information which we have published tended to con firm our suspicions. We now observe an article in the Mani ten r of the Bth, which seems entirely to corroborate our opinion; and of which we subjoin a literal translation." [Here follows an article quoted by the Moniteur from l'Etoile, relative to the reports which had prevailed on the Paris Ex change, and on the fluctuations in the money-market.] " Our private Correspondence from Paris, received by the last post, also alludes to the same circumstance, and .a letter dated the 10th contains the following :-- " It is difficult to ascertain whether the news which has been circulated respecting the resolution adopted by the Congress for, forcible interference in the affairs of Spain, occasioned the late depression of the funds, or whether, on the contrary, the sensa tion experienced on 'Change occasioned the invention of the said news, in order to explain the circumstance. On the other hand, it is affirmed with tolerable certainty, that the house of Ou vrard, whose want - of • resources is notorious, had concluded a loan of 20 millions of francs with the self-styled Regency of Urgel ; and, to avoid losing the whole capital, shares were ne •gotiated on the Exchange at 15 and 20 per cent. It is now ascertained who was the real lender of these 20 . millions, and that the house of Ouvrard was merely the agent. Every one is now convinced that the French Government has fallen on this way of openly assisting the factious of Spain. A circumstance tending to support this opinion is, that within these few days the bills of the frontier towns of Spain have been much in re quest,. and that considerable remittances have been made to those towns from Paris. There has as yet appeared nothing which can fix public opinion. " Some persons allege that the two Governments at present existing in France have each a plenipotentiary at the Con gress.-that M. de Montmorency represents the Ultras, and follows the instructions of the Pavillon Marsan ; and that M. de Chateaubriand represents the King's Government, and follows the directions of M. de Villele. It is evident that the first Minister must invoke war and destruction upon the Peninsula, and that the second will only accede to an in tervention is the way urged by the Journal des Debats, and to a disguised war, like that which has hitherto been car ried on.' " • " We have translated the above letter literally, to afford an idea of the rumours whieh were circulated in Paris, from the 6th to the 10th, and which occasioned the "variation in the pub lic funds. For our part, we repeat that which we have befbre said—if Europe wish to ensure her own and our tranquillity, let her respect our rights as we respect hers : if it is wished that the Spanish revolution should not overstep the boundaries which it has,sworn to maintain, let not the Spanish people be irritated by scandalous acts of injustice ; let not their national pride be wounded, by requiring that they should act a dis graceful part, unworthy of an independent nation. For two years, the Austrians have occupied the kingdom of Naples; they are there yet, and cannot venture to abandon their post. But what would be the consequence, were foreign troops to presume to invade Spain, in order to compel the Spaniards to accept a Government which they do not approve ? Jt would be necessary to station a sentinel at every door, and even that would be insufficient. Those very individuals who are now destroying their country to open a road for foreign troops, would then be the greatest' enemies of the invaders ; and the Peninsula, which i s now the cause of so much anxiety to the great potentates of Europe, would be for years and years the terror of foreign des pots, and would ultimately effect their annihilation. M. de Pradt has said, and we agree with him, If war be declared against Spain, we shall hear the first cannon, but the child yet unborn will not hear the last.' " A translation of the article in the Journal des Ddbats of the 9th of November is given in the Espectador of the 22d, accom panied with some notes; and farther observations are promised. After charging the French Government with supplying the in ' surgents with money and arms, and secretly keeping up a civil war, while the official correspondence with the Cabinet of Ma drid breathed nothing but peace and good faith, the Spanish journalist thus very briefly but pithily notices the pointy, recom mended to be made on Madrid :—" These folks (says a cele- brated man, speaking of the Ultras) have learned nothing, and have forgotten nothing. It seems they do not yet sufficiently understand how little dread the people of Spain have for such pointcs. If, however,. they wish to know it, let them ascend the Pyrennees, and take a view of Spain. The unburied bones of 500,000 Frenchmen will answer the question." On the assertion of the Infantes being in danger, the Espee. tador says—" There -is in Spain no insane faction capable of committing the aggressions here supposed, or of giving the law to the men of the revolution. A few hundreds of evil-disposed men, under the mask of patriots, scattered over the Peninsula, but equally well known and detested, cannot mislead those who have sworn to support the Constitution of 1812. These falsehoods are invented by the French Ultras, with the view of discrediting our revolution in the eyes of Europe." On the passage which speaks of " the furious debates in the Cortes, and the violent measures recently adopted," the follow ing observations are made : It is certain. hat in the sittings alluded to, there was that warmth which must necessarily . arise in every Legislative Body whenever great questions, tending to suspend or to abridge the most sacred rights of nien, are discussed: but calling that warmth fury comes with a very bad grace from a Paris Editor. Such an epithet appearing where the debates of the French Chamber of Deputies are published, seems ridiculOus eiviugh. In our Cortes, with whatever warmth the Deputies speak, they never descend to personalities. " As to the measures adopted by the Cortes, it cannot be denied that some of them are severe, and we hope so6n to see the time arrive when the nation may without inconvenience re peal them ; but at the same time we cannot comprehend how the Journat des Debati, • ivhich is the organ of a party that, in. and out of the Chamber, has always called for and at last esta blished a multitude of laws of exception, can call those mea sures violent, which our Cortes have thought it necessary to adopt, in the critical circumstances in which the nation is placed by the perfidy of a foreign Government" Two numbers of a Paper called the Zurringo, were publicly burnt by the Cazadores of the Madrid Volunteer Militia, on the morning of the 21st. No distinct account is given of the cause of this proceeding, but it appears incidentally that the journal had given offenee by the insertion of some articles on the subject of 'a plan for changing the Constitution. The Universal, which disproves of such literary autos daft in general, seems to think that this example was excusable. The following are part of the observations made by that paper : "'The public writer who seeks distinction by propagating and even attributing to the nation, anti-constitutional views, at the moment when we are protesting in the face of Europe that our wishes are limited to maintain the constitution to which we have sworn—who publishes anarchial and subversive princi ples, at the moment when the enemies of our liberty, ex ternal and internal, are endeavouring to calumniate our prin ciples--whO lights up amongst us the torch of discord, and seeks by every means to introduce distrust and disunion, and at the moment when the friends of liberty ought to be more than ever united—such a writer neither loves his country, how ever loud his cry of patriotism may be, nor liberty, however much he may, assume its mask. Nay, we will venture to say that in the eyes of .every judiciotis man, he must pass for One of those instruments of which our enemies avail themselves to ruin us:" • _ • _ BARCELONA, NOV. 11.—A horrible discovery was made on the. evening of the 9th, of an unfortunate ecclesiastic, who was heard by some of our national volunteers groaning in an inqui sitorial cell, in the convent of San Francisco. Immediately on hearing of the circumstance, the Fiscal, Don Antonio Oil, ac companied by several other Civil Officers, proceeded to the place for the purpose of ascertaining the truth of the report.— After a good deal of diffiCulty they at length succeeded in get ting int) the interior of the convent, where, in a cell, the atmos phere of which was so. impure that it wa' next to impossible to enter it, they discovered the unfortunate. Father Puig stretched on a heap of filth. On being removed into the light, the poor man exhibited the most disgusting and deplorable appearance. He seemed to be about 30 years old, and was so exceedingly ex hausted that he was only able to utter a few scarcely audible words. Every possible kindness and attention were shown to wards him, and when the Fiscal assured him that he should not go back to the _Monks, but should enjoy the free air and the rights of a Constitutional Spaniard, he raised his eyes to Hea ven and uttered a deep sigh. The only cause assigned by the Vicar of the Convent for this horrible treatment, was the pre tence that Father Puig was insane ; that on one occasion lie had presented himself in an indecorouS manner in the choir, and on another had run away as far as to the river Elobregat. He confessed that the unfortunate man had been about a year and a half confined in that prison by order of the Guardian, but said that he had always been supplied with food ! The Jailor who inflicted this inhuman punishment on the unfortunate Puig, has been condemned to remain imprisoned in the same cell in which his victim suffered, though it is now in a much cleaner state than before. In the registry of the convent were found several papers which had lately been placed there : a bronze foot of a box for containing the host, a large sword, a packet of sack-cloth, an inquisitorial auto da fc recently drawn up, and a list of the battalions of Faith.—Father Puig has been conveyed to the hospital of Junqueras, where every possible Care is taken of him.—(Spanish.

These will show you the feeling Which exists here towards independence : already there is a national cockade, which appears to be generally worn, and the Brazilian flag will be displayed on the day on which the Prince Regent is proclaimed Emperor of the Brazils, by the title of I)on Pedro the First. To-morrow is tLe day said to be appointed for this festival, and the .coronation, it is reported, will take place on the Prince's birth-day, the 12th of October. " To-day the Camara have paraded the streets with a prods , oration, the purport of which is to warn all evil-disposed per sons, that 30 days are allowed them to take their departure from this country ; and those found after that period speaking agaiast the Government will be treated as traitors. " At present every thing appears quiet ; and we sincerely hope that as soon as all these weighty matters are settled, that confidence and business will be fully restored." EDICT. The Senate of this city, in compliance with the dispatch of the Secretary of State, dated the 20th, orders the publication of the following DECREE. It being possible that there may still exist in Brazil persons who dissent from the great cause of political independence, which the people have proclaimed, and I have sworn to defend ; and who, either from gross ignorance or blind fanaticism in opi nions, may circulate rumours injurious to the union and tranquillity of all good Brazilians, and even seek to make proselytes to their errors ; it becomes an imperious duty to remove or prevent this evil, by • separating the perfidious, and expelling them from Brazil; in order that their ac tions, and the expression of their depraved opinions, may not provoke the good and loyal Brazilians into civil war, which it has been my most earnest wish to avoid. And whereas I always wish to reconcile grace with justice, and the public safety with the supreme la* of nations, I have, with the concurrence of my Council of State, thought tit to order as fol lows :—A general amnesty is granted for all past political opi nions, down to the date of this my Royal decree, excluding, however, those persons who are already in custody, and in the course of trial. Every European or Brazilian Portuguese who ' embraces the present system of Brazil, and is ready to defend it, shall, by way of distinction, wear on the left arm a green flower with the inscription "Independence or Death." Those, however, who will not embrace the system, ought not to parti cipate with good citizens in the benefits of a society whose rights they do not respect; and must therefore depart from the places in which they reside within the period of thirty days, and from Brazil within four months, if in inland places, and two months if in maritime towns, reckoning from the day of the publication of my Royal Decree in the respective provinces of Brazil in which they may reside ; they being still bound to ap ply for regular passports, Meanwhile, should the said system, and the sacred cause of Brazil, be attacked, either by speech or writing, the persons so doing shall be summarily proceeded against, and punished with all the rigour which the law inflicts on criminals guilty of high treason, and disturbers of the public peace.

Honourable Paulistanos,--Nhe love which I consecrated to Brazil generally, and to your province in particular, (it being that one which first declared before me and the whole world, the Machiavelian, disorganizing, and factious syStem of the Cortes at Lisbon), caused me to come among you to consoli date the fraternal union and tranquillity, which wavered, and was threatened by disorganizers, whom shortly you will know personally, when the deposition of the witnesses are closet:li which I have ordered to be taken. At a period when more than content to find myself among you, I received advices that from Lisbon the traitcrs of the na tion, its infamous Deputies, intended to attack Brazil, and to force its defender from among ydu, it behoves me, as such, to take all 'measures which may suggest themselves to me; and in order that these may be •determined on with such maturity of thought as such a crisis requires, I find myself obliged, in order to serve my idol 'Brazil, to separate myself from you (which I must regret), to return to Rio, to take advice from my Councilors, and to adopt such measures as may meet such high occurrences. I assure you that nothing could be more sensible to me than that I feel at separating myself from my friendly Paulistanos, to whom Brazil and myself owe the good we possess, and what we hope from a liberal and' wise Con stitution. Now, Paulistanos, it only remains necessary to preserve union among yourselves ; not only because this is the duty of every , good Brazilian, but farther, because our dear country is threa tened to suffer war, which will not only be waged against us by troops sent against us from Portugal, but likewise by her servile partizans and vile emissaries which exist among us, betraying us. Whenever the authorities administer to you that impartial justice which should he inseparable from their institution, in form me of it, and I will apply the remedy. The device of Brazil should be " Independence or Death." Know that when I attend to public affairs, I know neither friends nor favourites on any occasion. Remain tranquil.
