FOILEIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, J. 7.—Yesterday, after Mass, which the -King heard in his apartments, his Majesty revived the Ministers, the Duke of Richelieu, tfie . Chincellor, several of the Marshals, a great =Triter of Generals, and the Neapolitan Am bassador. The Journals of Frankfort, Augsburg, and other towns in the south of Germany, which two days ago announced the arrival - of Austrian dis patches relative to the acceptance of the Russian 'Latin:4nm by the Porte, now maintain a remark able i silence on that subject. T be ...V urea bui2g Correspondent states, that .the _Admiral of the Greek fleet is one of 'the" most dlstinguishd inhabitants of the Isle of Hydra : his name is Tumbaze. The names of the Com manders of the four divisions of the fleet are Cholocas, Apostolo, Vocos, and Botaze. FRANK rola.; J AN. 2.—Last Sunday (Dec. 30), the unexpected news thatthe Porte had acceded to the conditions prt.scrlbed in..the Russian u/ti =slum, and that consequently there would be 1;k) • war circulated' through our town. An ex press, dispatched from Vienna on the 26th of lyttcember, had, it was said, brought this strange iufrlligence. The details were promised on the fcalowint , day, but the next day came and brought no confirmation. It was then evident enough that it was only a report spread by some specu lators who wished Ao sell, and who in fact ,suc cf;..eded in raising the price of, stock. All reflect iu persons know well 04 the adjustment of the difficulties between the. Porte and Russia is farther distant than ever. VIEVVA, DEC. 26.—Accounts from Constanti nople, dated the Bth December, which make no mention of the revolt of the Janissaries, nor of any disturbance, communicate the following news The energetic representatiOns of the English and Austrian Ambassadors, relative to the va rious excesses committed by fanatical individuals, have attained their object. On the 3 : out of No vember a Government order was published,which prescribes great severity against all excesses of th:s kind. It is as follows : " The perfidy of the treasons and revolts hatched by the Greek nation have united the Mussulmans of all classes undpr. thc:r standards, and have caused them unanimously to assume a warlike attitude. _ _ " But it belongs only to the Government to punish the sedi tious Rajas, who are really guilty of high treason. !This duty it will perform with zeal, when those who are convicted of this crime foil into its hands. . • " On the contrary, those apinst whom there is no ground of reproach, who prosecute their occupations in a peaceable and honourable manner, ought to be placed out of the reach of dan ger, and protected by all possible means: ‘` For this reason, some tune ago the most formal orders were dispatched on this point to the authorities, and firmans have been published, in virtue of which the innocent Rajas are neither to be vexed nor pimished • and the subjects of powers in peace, and maintaining friendly relations with the Ottoman Government, as well as all those who depend upon the sublime Porte, are not to be expoied to any insult or any danger. , • Neverthelesss, immoral, evil-disposed, and infatuated men, have transgressed the orders of the Sublime Porte, and com mitted acts altogether oppoied to the intention of Govern ment, which has thereforp found it necessary to order the arrest and the rigid punishment of the persons who engage in these enzeis es. " The Sublime Porte confirms, in the most express manner, by the present rescript, all previous orders of a similar'nature. Henceforth, then, let care be taken not to insult in any manner whatever the peaceable Rajas, or those who regularly follow the.i.-.7 occupations and let the same conduct be observed to wards the subjects of friendly powers.' This new and precise order is there fore addressed to all magistrates and officers of police, to take particular care that no injury or insult be expe rienced by the Rajas who have taken no part in the re4olt and conspiracy, or to the subjects of foreign Powers who maintain relations of peace and amity with the Sublime Porte. 'Let every perverse transgressor of this .order,. who shall thus Offend our sacredlaw, be punished in the severest Manner by the Chief of the corps. to which he belongs. e• The present ordinance, thus renewed, which is •to be strict ly enforced, with the particular prohibition of all abuses by lear.a of fire-arms, is addressed for that purpose to sitcom znanders and magistrates in order that they may superintend, its•execution, and be personally responsible for the same." The dismissal of the late Reis-Effendi caused ,sortie interruption in the diplomatic negotiations, brat within the last few weeks different confe rences have taken place with the foreign Minis ters. The present Reis-Effendi assisted at these conferences, as well as the Kadiasker of Ro melia, and Ganil-Effendi, one of the most ex perienced Statesmen of the Turkish empire, wbo occupied the post of Reis-Effendi until the Greek insurrection broke out. By direct and authentic news from Teheran, dat.ed- Oct. 19, we learn that the Persian war is either at an end, or-nearly terminated. Nothing was known at the Court of Teheran beyond the irruption of Prince Mahomed-Ali Mirza into the Pachalick of Bagdad ; but it is stated that no orders were given for this irruption, which has besides had no result of any consequence. It is• ass.erted that nothing was known of the military operations on the Upper Euphrates; that the Governor of Tabris, Abbas-Mirza, second son Of the successor of the Schah, had never beenau thotrised to commence them; and that if hostili ties had taken place-in Armenia, they can only be attributed to the Kurds, who are always in cih4ed to war and pillage. But whatever be the case with regard to these anterior events, it ,is certain that the Schatz of Persia has declared in ti:e :post positive manner that .it entered in no reEpe.ct into his views to commence a war with the Porte ; and that precise • orders had been transmitted to the two Princes not to permit any hostility against the Turkish provinces. It now remains to be known whether, after the receipt of this news, the Porte will withdraw the decla ration of war issued against Persia. HAGUE, JAN. I.—The expenceS of the Extra ordinary Budget for 1822 are fixed at 50,875.052 florins, and the ordinary expellees at 18,688,856 florins, besides a credit to the extent of a million for unforeseen expences.—The Court of Cassa tiou has this day decided a case, according to which a Frenchman not naturalized, however long he way have resided in Belgium, cannot be the witness to a will. This decision is appli cable to every public act. SPAIN. MADRID, DEc. 27.—The Provincial Deputa tion of Catalonia sent, on the 10th instant, an Address to the King. The petitioners declare their aolichment to the Constitution, which, they re I'd 0, the, plank which saved them from des.. pottsm and they address to the Throne their - wiskes 7 and those of 'the province of which they are the organs,- that no attempt should be made against their national liberties, or the prerogatives of the Crown, and pray, that . .if the Ministers have attacked the liberties of ihe country, the'y may be judged and - punished according,to law. Don Alejandro O'Donnell, the Commandant at Vittoria, having taken the necessary precau tions to, stop the.PrOgress_of the insurrection in Navarre, writes that on the night of the 22d he had received . official intelligence of the defeat of the disaffected, by the troops under General Lopez Banos, who had pursued as far as the mountains of Andia.—(ilioniteur.) SAME DATE.—(Extract of a Private Letter.) — The Government propose sending immediately some troops to bring back Seville and Cadiz to their obedience. It is certain that on the 24th the Council Of State assembled in the' morning, and received a communication from the King, desiring them to propose to. Government the measures to be adopted in case it should be com pelled to resort to military force. A Committee of the Council or State was instantly appointed to consider of these measures, and the Sitting did not close till six o'clock in the evening. The discussion in the Council was very animated. General Castanos expressed himself with great energy against the transactions of Seville, which were defended with not less warmth by General B—os. At length the majority of the.Coutt cil having voted ,with General Castanos, orders were, it is said, immediately dispatched for the march of several corps, and General Campoverdo, Commandment of Grenada, appointed to the command of, the troops sent against Seville. Colonel San Miguel, one of the Editors of the Espectador, has received orders to repair to Sara gossa. Riego is, gone to the ASturias with his youug wife.—(Constitutionnel.) SAME DATE.—(Extract from another Private 'Letter.)—The affairs of Andalusia are every day assuming a character more alarming. An extra ordinary courier has brought an account of new troubles at Seville. A battalion of the garrison threatened to proceed to the greatest excesses. These troops e.ve❑ went so far as to contemplate the putting to death any person who might pro pose to obey orders emanating from the present Ministry.—Valencia has entered 'into the new confederation ; and the representation it has for warded, it is said, yields in nothing to those of :Cadiz and Seville. On the contrary, the whole dr Galicia is restored to order.—Discontent has shewn itself in several, parts'Of Catalonia: - The example of Navarre, the violence of certain au thorities, and of several corps stationed in the province, appear to have occasioned those new troubles.—Madrid enjoys a provisional tranquil lity, for which it is indebted to the firm attitude of the Authorities; and but for• which they ,would be exposed to all the fury of the revolutionists. Fortunately they do not allow themseiNes-to. be overawed.—There. is nothought of any chanae of Ministry. The Minister of the Interior, gece, narres, will, perhaps, hethe first who,, either vo luntarily or by order, will abandon his post.— Several regiments have received orders to march for Cordova, to augment the number of troops assembling under the command of General Daoiz, who ivill at last have to enforce the orders of the Government in the south of the Peninsula. In speaking of the Cortes, the journal of Cadiz. says—" It is reported-that. there have arrived at Madrid rope-dancers and players with cups and balls of elaraordinary skill, who reckon upon amusing the public during the carnival, and even until the month of March,, by showing the white black and the black-white. They have esta blished their theatre near Donna Maria Arragon (it is there the hall of the Congress is situated;) but in so cold a season the people, instead of this sedentary recreation, will doubtless prefer the more agreeable amusement of moving the arms in the game of Rackets; and thus employ their strength in a sport more useful to their cause." A convoy from America was in sight of Cadiz on the 18th, and the frigate Anil which escorts it, has on board two millions of hard dollars. — (Journal des Debuts.) DEC. 28.—Brigadier Jauregui, who has usurped the command of Cadiz, issued a proclamation on the 17th, which states as follows :--" I have re ceived the Madrid Gazette of the 12th, which contains the answer of the Cortes to the Ring's message. I have at the same time received two Royal ordinances ; one of which appoints the well-deserving patriot Don Jacinte Romavate, brigadier of the national army, Military Com mandant of this province—this is the same per son whose dismissal had given occasion for re monstrances from the authorities of this city. The other Royal ordinances gives us for chief, Don Joachim Escario, who occupied the same situation at Burgos ; a man who has suffered for the cause of liberty, and who had the glory of assisting the Empecinado in combating Merino. —I request the public to take into consideration the qualities of the two patriots who are about to arrive, and take upon themselves the offices which I have provisionally held."—(Drapeau Blanc.) BILBOA, DEC. 29.—( Extract of a Private Let ter.)—The 26th, 27th, and 28th, were for Bil boa days of disquietude. All the villages of the environs (one only excepted) revolted, and threat ened the whole province. Bilboa was nearly taken by the insurgents.— On the 28th, an emis sary, sent by the Chief of the insurgents, fell into the hands of one of the, pat:cots, of our guard, who conducted him to the town-house. Our Magis trates have the reputation of being Serviles, and many persons are of opinion that the whole of this affair was concerted by them.—The Captain of a company in the regular guard is said to be compromised by the dispatches found upon the emissary of the insurgents. He is put under arrest, and is to be tried by a military commis sion, according to the martial law published on the 26th.---(Journal des Debuts.) IRUN, JAN. I.—We have no letters from Pam peluna to-day. The last were dated the 27th ult. They announce that the greatest consterna tion prevailed there.—On the 25th and 26th there was a serious quar el between the students and the mien number of troaps remaining in the garrison. • A. fusilade took place, and 8 or 10 men were dangerously wounded.—The same let „ters observe, that it would be very difficult to give accounts of what is passing, throughout N. arre. We have beeit - giVeti to understand that the- insurgents, whose, prinvipal places of meeting were the 'tnouittains‘ootuncal and San- Ittescai haVe been beaten. JCis added, that thou sands of these insurgents cannot stind against a fe y regular troops. They have asked and obtained per-, mission - to return to their homes. As yet, however, we have not seen the troops return to our garrison. On the 26th, 27th, and 28th, there was fighting at Bastana,-Lesaca, and Vera. No force could be found to oppose six hundred insurgents on their first appearance, except 150 men belonging to the Custom-house at Bastans ; these domaniers were beaten ; but at: Lesaca and Vera, being reinforced by militia from Irun, Oyarsun, and some other neighbouring villages, they succeeded in putting the insurgents to the rout. The num ber of dead on both sides is said to be one hun dred. On the 30th we . perceived from lrun about one hundred - armed men on the mountain of San Marical. Fears being entertained that they would pay us a visit, several persons have begun to prepare for flight.—(Journal des Debuts.) IRELAND. [From the. Limerick Chronicle of Saturday.] A King's Messenger arrived here on Wednes day afternoon, with a respite, directing that the execution of Martin and John Grady, (brothers,) who were to be hanged on the follow ing day, at Shanagolden, pursuant to sentence at the last Commission, should be postponed un til further orders. Yesterday's post brought an order, that they shOuld be transmitted to the Penitentiary-house at Cork, and delivered into custody there ; and this morning, pursuant to said directions, they were sent off under a mili tary guard. The commutation of sentence was received with great gratitude by the convicts, and it is hoped will have-a salutary effect on the peasantry, who must be convinced of - the huma nity of the Government, in.-endeavouring to stop the effusion of human blood, - though the crimes which have been committed in this county call . loudly for commensurate chastisement. On Monday night, a party broke into the house of John Madden, near Carrigtoher, and, after beating and abusing the family, carried away his daughter, not thirteen years old. Shortly after .ttrey left the dwelling, the horse on which she rode - fell, and the girl's leg was broke, which did not prevent the fellows from continuing their 'course. As morning approached, owing to the alarm made by the girl,. the 'party be gan to separate, and the man behind whom she rode put her into a house in the parish-of Castle Connell, the owner of which conveyed her .to the Rev. Mr. Crampton, who procured Mr. 'DUngan, Surgeon, to set her leg, by whose hu mane and skilful attention it is hoped a speedy .recovery will be effected. The houses of Denis Winery, Mathew Hayes, 'Matti Ryan, Thonias Halloran, WidoW Hayes, Darby Wyatt, Thomas Hanrahan, and David .Cro neen, 'in the Baronies - Of Coshtna and Small. County, in this county, were'broken - - into. since, Monday last, as were also several dwellings in the neighbourhood of Kilcullane, by banditti,, who searched for arms. Having got none, they "insisted on money, and from several of the in habitants they- took...even .the pewter off their -dressers. We received the following yesterday, from an intelligent and highly respectable Magistrate, who has authorised us to mention his name, if necessary I have perceived, with much sur prise, that flattering reports have been made in your Paper of the state of this county during the Commission, and since that period. Unex pected public and private business has pre vented an earlier observation. Happy should I be to think there were any real grounds for such reports ; but, to prove the reverse is the case, I beg to inform you, that while the Commission sat, several outrages were committed in the south and east quarters of the county, and both arms and money procured. Since that period, the ruffians have attacked, for the 3d and 4th time, several houses in the south quarter, and obtained, on the night of the 30th December, a large con tribution, though spiritedly opposed by one far mer, in Upper Sunville, who had 3 former visits. His house was well marked by musket and other balls. Since that period, other houses were vi sited, and though the Rifle Corps were out near them, the business was done so quietly that they were not noticed." The Iligh Sheriff' of ' the county of Kerry ap prehended a man named Quill, near Ballyseedy, in that county, on Wednesday morning last, who, it is said, he' has strong grounds for supposing was concerned in the burning of the Sheas in the county of Tipperary.

CAMBRIDGE.—We have been obliged to defer the insertion 'of the following letters from Br. the Rev. G. A. Browne,W. New Cambridge Lodge, to the Editor of the Morning Chronicle, respecting the cause of Greece, from the many interesting ac counts of Provincial Meetings, which it has been our duty to lay before our Readers. These letters are well worthy of the most serious - attention, and our only regret is, that it is not in our power to add the letter of the NI. W. Grand Mas ter, His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, to Brother the Reverend G. A. Browne ; for those who have, had the good fortune to hear the Grand Master illustrate the principles of our Order, and point out the course of conduct which those principles prescribe, must know that his Royal Highness's letter, on this occasion, contained a most able and emphatic ex position of our Masonic duties, and such forcible observations on the impropriety of allowing our feelings to carry us into the consideration of any subject which 'Might in the remotest de gree be consideredyoliticaL, as will effectually deter the,Mem bers of the Lodge in question from again discussing, either in public or private, matters of which, asAlasons, we ought to be en tirely ignorant.' We approve most highly the immediate acknovi ledgment which followed the letter of the M. W. Grand Master, on the part of Brother the Reverend G. A. Browne, of the er rors into.whieli the Brethren of the New Cambridge Lodge had inadvertently fallen ; and we trust that the example of so respect able a Lodge, acquiescing with that ready obedience which our system requires in the mandates.afour rulers, will always have its proper : , weight with any Lodge which may unfortunately be pieced in a similar situation ; if, indeed, the influence of such an example can be necessary,_in the highly improved state of respectability and disciplineinio'whiekilfecraft has been brought by, the -personal and' exertions, -, 4nd the zeal and ability, of our present most Illustrious Grand afaiter.

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Trinity College, Dec. 23. Sig—ln your Paper of Saturday you have given publicity to a letter of mine inclosing a donation in behalf of the Distressed Greeks; in consequence of your having done so, I must trouble you to insert the letter I am now addressing to you. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, Grand Master of our Fraternity, has expressed to me, by a letter this morning, his ex treme disapprobation of the conduct - of the" Cambridge New Lodge," and of myself, as its Master, in having voted from the funds of our Lodge a subscription for the purpose which my letter announced. As a Mason, I do not presume. for one moment to call in question the justice of his Royal Highness's sentiments on this occasion. I am satisfied that they are dictated by his ar dent zeal for the interests of the Craft, and his apprehension lest his silence might be construed into an approbation of what his, R. Highness and others conceive to be an introduction of political topics into the bosom of a Lodge of Masons : I must, therefore, request you to withhold from the. Committee the sum which I had enclosed to you as the donation from the Lodge, and to add it to the sum which, as an humble individual, without any poli tical object in view, but merely from a desire to assist the cause of suffering humanity, I had ventured to subscribe. No one but myself , has been to blame in this transaction. I pro posed the Resolution in our Lodge, and I urged its adop tion. I must now, therefore, beg leave thus publicly to offer my apology to the Grand Master and the Brethren, for hav ing outstepped the limits of our masonic duties ; though I have erred as a Mason, I trust I have not done wrong as a man ; and I humbly hope that the Craft will extend to wards me that forgiveness which Masons are not slow in bestowing upon their repentant Brethren. By giving this early publicity to the declaration of his Royal Highness's sentiments, I shall, I trust, prevent any other Lodge from being led away by the unguarded conduct of the " Cambridge Lodge." The subsCription will, be returned to our Secretary on the 27th (St. John's Day), and a due notice of the transaction will be enter ed in his minutes. Allow me shortly to add,' that the motives which induced his Royal Highness to address Me - on this unfortunate occasion, are, I am satisfied, no other than, what do honour to the situation lie holds, and must endear him still more to the Craft at large. Masonry may exult in having her chief rule and authority confided to one whose judgment is warped by no prejudice or partiality ; who, in all points that are submitted to his consideration, looks only to what is the peculiar duty of a Mason ; and who in his presiding Chair of Justice, is always seen to keep the balance even. Equato examine lances sustinet. Here, Sir, I beg leave to close this letter, and as you had inadvertently inserted my first letter, though I had meant it to be private, you will, I trust, oblige me by inserting my second. As to thesreat. question of the deliverance of the Greeks from their long and unmerited bon (lege, there will not be wanting oppoiothities when I may es: press my sentiments unfettered by ink Masonic obligations. . I have the honour to remain, Your most obedient Servant, G.A. Bnowyr`: SOMERSETSHIRE. BATH.- , On Thursday, the flth tilt., the members of the. Royal York 'Dodge of Perfect Friendship celebrated the festival of st. John the Evangelist. The Brethren assembled at the Masonic Hall at three, and were engaged in business until five o'clock, when the Lodge was adjourned to York HOUse, where a truly sumptuous banquet was prepared by Mr Reilly. At six o'clock the chair was taken by C. K, K, Tynte, Esq., M.P., the P. G. M. supported by the P.G.C. and- W.M. of the R.Y.L. of P.F. About 60 of the Craft were .prek sent (including some visiting Brethren from the of ;1 Bristol, the .Royal Cumberland and the Virtue Lodges of Rath,, &c.) After Non nobis Domine had been admirably sung by , Brothers Sir W. Bagshawe, Cripps, J. and A. Loder, many Masonic toasts and sentiments were given in due form. Dur- , ing the evening there were several most eloquent addresses ; and the-hilarity of : the meeting was heightened by some'eXcel lent singing. The company departed at a moderate_ hour; gra - - - - tified with the pleasures of the festive board, and delighted with the transcendently superior charms of the.. 6 feast of reason and. the flow of soul,' which beamed throughout the evening. .

The statements 'contained in Mr. LovEDA petition to the French Chamber of Deputiec, which appearedin our Paper of yesterday, wia excite a deep and painful interest throughout this country. Mr. DoucLAs LovEnAY was among the num ber of our countrymen who, on the final settle ment of peace with France, established thernselvesi with their families, in, the capital of that. kingdom. In the month of June, 1816, he returned to Eng land, leaving his two daughters at the boarding school of a Mademoiselle REBouL, to whom he also sent his niece, a daughterof the Governor of Benares. The education of these young ladies was to be entirely confined to accomplishments., and their preceptress solemnly engaged not to interfere with their religious faith. Depending on the promises and high character of this lady, Mr. LovEnay, if we rightly understand his narrative, absented himself from Paris for about five years, without feeling any uneasiness on account of his niece and children ; a fatal se curity? which is now-, no doubt, the occasion of much bitter self-reproach.—ln July last he an nounced, by letter, his intention of removing them from the - school. Ma.dlle. Reboul intreated that the youngest lady, at least, the niece, who was only fourteen years pld, might be allowed to, remain with her, protesting to Mr. Loveday, that it would be an injustice to entertain any appre hension on the subject of religious principles.— The same assurance was confirmed by his daugh ters when he at length returned to them, at Paris, September.—But as the time approached when the two elder ladies (one of whom was now of age) were to leave the school, a disclosure be came necessary, which at once converted the too easy confidence of the deceived father into dismay and indignation. " On the 23d of Oc. tober," he says, " my two daughters declared to me that they were Roman Catholics,' and that their firmness and faith were not to be shaken." —Their minds, it appeared, had been forcibly and unsparingly acted upon by terrific images of future punishment', by sophistical applications of the sacred text, and by stories (which, strange t o say, have their effect even in these days) of mi racles perfOrming at Amiens, and the apparition of a bleeding Host. Their conversion, as they affirmed, had been the work of a single fortnight ; and they strongly, but untruely, denied that Mademoiselle 11,EuouL had taken any part in the transaction.
