'where the dark clouds would 'burst - which thcii threatened the political sky. The flameS of war have raged. This ha's occasioned his Majesty to be absent from his kingdom, in order' to carry into effe&, with the utmost prompti.tude; - such measures as circumstances might require. The events of the war, and for which we :ought to be thankful to Providence, have taken a turn favour able beyond all our expe6tations ; so that his Ma jesty's - presence is no longer. necessary with the. army, which is stationed at -no great distanCe froth our own frontiers. " We may, therefore, flatter ourselves with :see— ing his Majesty very soon in the midst, of us ; and I have even the pleasure to inform yon, that, it is his intention to - return to his kingdom without de lay, to which he is called by the interests of his people as well as by his own desire. His Majesty wished to defer the convocation of the Legislative Body, in order to be present at the time ; but willing to conform to the letter. of the Constitution, his Majesty has charged me to.,call you together . to-day in his name. Gentlemen, you will,,therefore, resume your high office. The Sittings of their High V.fighti nesses, which must ta::e place at this time of the year, are always important : this year they will have to deliberate upon the public expenditure, and the means for meeting the exigencies of the State. " Without doubt, other proposals, and possibly some important communications respeEting the pre-, sent stte of affairs, and the consequences likely to result from them, will engage your attention during the present Sitting. ' " Consequently, the Sitting which' I have now the honour to declare opened in his Majesty's name, may be one of the most important, and af ford you fresh opportunities of testifying your zeal - and devotion in his Majesty's service ; and you will therefore 'co-operate with his. Majesty in pro moting the prosperity of the Kingdom. May your• efforts and your deliberations, ender the blessing of Heaven, be crowned with the most happy issue ; and may they give you new claims to his Majesty's confidence ) and the gratitude of the nation ! " I have only to add, that his Majesty's absence bas prevented several projcts of laws, and other ob jeas, from being .ready to be laid before you ; I am therefore charged to inform you, that his Majesty, by a decree of the Eh. instant, has judged. it conve- - nient tha. the Sittings of the Legislative Body, sum- Tnoned for the - Bth instant, should be adjourned to the Ist of December ' CONSTA'AINOPLE, StPT. 8.-Lit was last Sun day that the Grand Vizier and the Mufri. : were de posed. They are exiled to Bruse,..in Asia. The former is succeeded uv the Aga of the JanisSaries, and the: seLond by the _Cadilesqiiier of Romenli. The two Testerdars, or Treasurers of the Miri and tit' the Nizami Gedid, have also been ,deposed as likewise the Bostangi Bashi. What, however, has astonished every body more than all, is the de posing of the Kiaja Bey, " who; for a long time, filled his office with'' the greatest credit, and. en joyed the highest consideration. The•Reis Effendi Las escaped -this measure hitherto ; he is at pre sent - seriously ill ; and this, it is presumed, will furnish him with an excuse to resign voluntarily.. The appointment of the Aga of the Janissaries to the first dignity in the Empire, has, in.all.prObabili ty, taken place with a view to appease the corps 'of 'which he is the Chief, and which was in 'the highest state of ferment. SEPT. 24.--.ACCording to the last reports, the troubles continue tO increase in Romelia. The Army under the command of CADRI PAS.tI4, en feebled by repeated combats, retired towards Porto Grande, where it was almost entirely., surrounded;, and the Rebels, masters of all the passes.leading to Constantinople on the North and on the East, were preparing to deal, the last blow to an Army which could no longer make any effedual .resistance. They took possession of the Aquedu&s of Burgan, which had been confided to the .cate of a body of Janissaries on'whose fidelity it was'thotight that the Porte could rely, and which ha solemnly pro mised not td take part with the Janissaries of Adrianople. The Rebels, had "even fixed the day when they were to take possession of the Palace of Kiatna (Sweet Waters), there, to impose laws upon the Seraglio and the Capital, when the Divan came to the resolution to use every means to allay the tempest. • _. In consequence, CADRt PASHA was recalled and disgraced. The rest of his Army folic wed 11411., They at first occupied the old camp, situated to the . east of Chiflick, and •proceeded then by the channel successively. • R PASHA, Governor of the Dardanelles, was -sent to Silistria and Adrianople' to conclude terms with the Rebels. The principal condition stipu lates, that the Nizami Gedid shall notbe set on foot in the provihces 'which, have oppoSed such a regulation ; and that but a small number of troops disciplined in the'Enropean manner shall be retained, and they shall be placed at Canstantinople, or some city in Asia. General SFR ASTTA NI offered to confirm Count LUDOLEO in the post of Ambassador from the king dom of Naples, being authorised to that effeet ; • but the Count preteried remaining in the service of his old Master s and now the French Ambassador exer cises that office for King JOSEPH. • OCT. 1.--The changes'which have taken place in our Ministry may be considered as consequent upon' the deposing of the. Princes of Moldavia and Wal lachia, (the former of whom is in ' Constantinople, the latter at ,St. Petersburgh). The motives are not equivocal, but chew pretty clearly the new system. of policy the Porte is about. to adopt. The Grand Vizier, when on his way. to Bruse, the place of his exile, was brought back by an Officer of the Porte, arid is now stria!). confined. The • new Vizier is succeeded as Aga of the Janissaries •by Mehemet balyb Aga, Kul Kiaja ; the 'Kioja . Bey'. by the late Grand Vizier's Secretary, Must.apha Effendi ; and the Mufti by the Nakib-ul-Eschraf Duzi Zade, or Chief of the Dcwendants of the Prophet. The two Testerdars, tsehi,:lebt, and Feihz Ullah Ef fendi, are replaced by Osman Effendi, formerly Tshaush Bashi, or Marthal of 'the Palace, and Achmet &y, the Arpa f Emini, or Treasurer of War. SE!LIN, OCT. 16.—0 n the 18th of this Month, in ;he morning, MoltAstEt. BE arrived upon theAus trim) Bank. In half an hour afterwards . ,ppeared CzEitxt GEOILOg, the General in• Chief of the in „urg4at Servians. At sight of him MONASILL BEY was 'struck with aitonisinnetit - and - indignation, . atid, smote- himself several. times across the breast.-- CZEIRNI GEORGE succeeded in composing him, by telling him that ;he had something to communicate tef him. They conversed about an hour, and in the afternoon had another long conference; after which the Servian Commander - returned to his ca►up, and MOHASILL BEY to Belgrade, where he made knaWn to the Chief of the Kerales, KUSANZ - I ALI, the over- tures that had been proposed to him by CZERNI GEORGE. It appears that this interviel,v did net lead to the promised result; for, next morning, KUSANZI ALI sallied out' of Belgrade and attacked the insurgents. He had at first some success, but the Servians hav ing received reinforLements repulsed him, and forced his Kersales to return to the fortress. On the same day, in the evening, CZERNI GEORGE sent three letters to Belgrade by a Turkish prisoner, one for KUSANKI ALI, one tbr MOHASILL BEY, and the third to the towns-people. The contents of these letters are still unknown, and nothing further hay passed. It is still reported that the insurgents. are not satisfied with the last concessions made by the Grand Signior, but that they exact of his Highness to recognize• the independence of Servia," and, it.is believed, that the recent , negotiations had more for their objeet to gain time, than to bring about a sin-. cere reconciliation. NAPI ES, Oct. IS confirmed that FRA. VOLO„ after having escaped from Sora, succeeded in getting to the mountains . in the neighbourhood, where he has joined a ban'd - of other depredators; under the command of a certain Major CAPRAR.A. These banditti infest at present all the country along to Velletri. We are assured that the ruffian PAPADOSSORS, who was said to have been killed by another brigand, has ; after some time wandering in the mountains, embark ed with 15 of his accomplices, on board a fishing-, boat, and sailed for Messina. . According to letter's from Brindes of the 27th of September, the English and other troops re-em barked, on learning that the advanced-guard of Ge neral MA SSENA was approaching Reggio. There are none left behind ,but bands of insurgents in the InciLintaihs. We have intelligence from Battaglia-(in the Pro yince of Prin c ip ato ) that Lieutenant-Colonel CAtiA- COSA. has Cr tto pieces a numerous troop of brigands Who had assembled in the city of Citta. Another band Of about goo strong, part of which' had been :disembarked by a Sicilian VesSel, had taken- pdst at TortoCa... Colonel PI(3.tiATELLI ran thither with the.detachment under his or d ers , ma d e a v i gor Ons attack, and; after killing a part, put ,the rest •to flight. _ 'NAPLES, Oth. 14.--'An Order of his, Majesty has just appeared, which annuls all the &nations 'made by the former Government since the 13th of.lnly, 1799. The properties of the individuals who have follOvved the old Court into Sicily are confiscated. Those, however, whose families have remained in the Kingdom of NapleS, are proVisorily laid under sequestration. The translations to Abbecies, and henefits by the old' Government to persons Whose aversion for the French is known ) , are revoked. The property of .dl insurgents is confiscated. .ROME, .00T. 2l.—The reinforcement of ten thousand men which have lately traversed our Coun iry, will put Marshal MASSENA in a state . to stifle the rebellion completely, The inhabitants of the Pontifical State behaved remarkably well on the late.irruption of FRA. DIA voLo into our territory. Every body took up arms, and the Chief of the Banditti was soon forced to're trograde towards the Kingdom of Naples. TRIESTE, OCT. 18.—There have arrived here within these few days, a great number of Austrian •soldiers, who several years ago, being made pri soners by the French, were sent into Spain, where they were obliged to enlist in the troops, and the -term of their enrolment being expired, they are now returning to their Country. • MADRID, OCT. is said that there arenov at the Treasury of the Mint of Mexico, seventy-five millions of dollars, forming the produce of the mines for the last three years. LONDON.—The. Journal de Frankfort, of the 7th November, and other French. Papers, under .the head of London, oa. 24, contain an article on the subject of the Threshers, dated Leitrim; :061, 12, • apparently translated from the London Papers, which, along with the rest of the account, has the following words : 7 - 7 " The Threshers consist' of a con siderable number of persons of every sea, and among them are several of the rich Landed Proprietors." BERLIN, Nov. s.—Eight regiments, partly ca valry, have this day marched hence for .Stettin. The march of the French troops for Pohnd : is very rapid, and it is confidently said, that Prussian Poland is destined to make part of the French conquered territories. The submission of that Country is ex pee,ed to be more prompt than even that of Silesia ; because there exists.no organized army whatever for its defence, and the energy and promptitude .of the operations of troops flushed with conquest will not afford time for new levies. Besides, it is very' improbable that the Poles will regard as an enemy the only Power willing, and now capable, of effe&- ing their liberation. The circumstances of Poland have for a long time attracted the earnest attention of the political. world. The partition of that King dom was the most infamous a6t that took place in :Europe during the 18th century, and was, perhaps, the principal cause of the fall .of the French Govern ment, which lost all its Continental ascendancy, in suffering a measure which it was so greatly its in terest to prevent. It will 'be a curious 'historical circumstance, that the French were, in the 19th century, masters of the Country in question. It is imaginect.that the Emperor will reside some time longer atierlin, froM which it is said he Will issue his orders respecting the,' different military operatioris, This surmise is strengthened by the circumstance of a great quantity of furniture having arrived by the Spree, and which was placed in several apartments of the Palace this morning, which were previously very ill provided. It is well known that the- Great Palace, in which the Emperor oc cupies the apartments once used by FREDERICK H. was never inhabited by the Court. The- present King"nlways resided,-while in Berlin, in the small Palace opposite the Arsenal. Besides, the cirtum stance of furnishing the Grettt Palace, as above, the orders given for the constitution of temporary • barrallor wood, iq the place Vier, for the tl, - .7conimo,lation of 'ALI., 'équeiTiec, parties of the barge grenadiers, and the gensdarmes d'elite, corroborate the idea, that the Emperor means to,stay sonic time ion der in Berlin. The. l'rince of NEUFCHATEL is lodcred, and has his office, in a pavilion near the Palace, and the Gran', Staff, or Military Head-Quarters, is establish ed in the vicinity Of the Exchange. The Prussian , Court having, in its retreat, taken the articles of most valtie frorn the Palace, especially all the plate, the city of Berlin has. procured a mag nificent and complete service, and obtained permis-• sion to present it to the Emperor. Lmrstc, OCT. 29.----The French Governor of this city, the General of Brigade, MACON, is dead. In the evening all the bells tolled on the occasion, and a • composed funeral hymn was chaunted by torch , light in the great square, by the Pupils of St. Tho-, mas's College. This morning the French troops paraded in front of the hotel, and fired three The funeral was concluded in the gramkst style, and the usual ceremonies were performed in the'Ca tholic Chapel near the Castle, which was richly de corated for the occasion. After these were finished, r ' the .procession repaired to the burial-ground at St. Peter's Gate. In front marched a. party of engineers, n corps of dragoons followed ; the military tumsic was next in order ; a great mimber of Students mar shalled by the Heads of their respedive Colleges, and preceded • by the Catholic Clergy of the city, then walked in regular procession. The funeral car ~was drawn by six horses caparisoned in black. Im mediately after it walked General Vit.mANzi,' Col. GUYARDET, COmmandant of the place ; the Itealor of the University, the Grand Judge, habited in his costume of office, and all the official establishment of the University, made part of the procession ; as did also the Magistrates, the Lutheran Clergy, and 'the Merchants, of the city. Fifty-two coaches closed the procession. The whole was conduced with the greatest order and solemnity. The body - was de posited in the tomb appropriated for the burial-place -- of the Magistrates. FRANKFORT, Nov. 9.--Letters from 'Westphalia state, that the Seignory of Jeva (the only possession which' the Russians held in that quarter, being an inheritance of CATHARINE 11. as heiress of the House of Anhalt-Zerbst) is occupied by the Gallo-Bata , • . vian troops. The Officers who were taken at I-Tariag have-en gaged not to serve against the French and their Al lies during the war. Three or ibur of them, whO refused to enter into such an engagement - , were sect to Mentz as risouers of war. NEW P4RL ME4VT. MEMBERS RETURNED. COUNTY OF NAIAN—CoI. Henry Frederic Camp bell, COUNTY OF FlFE—Robert Ferguson, jun. Esq. COUNTY OF KINCARDINE—Wm. Adam, Esq. DUBLIN, DEc. 1. Tnr.s day intelligence of a very unpleasant nature was received in town from Grariard, relative . t 6 a desperate engagement which took place a day or two since between the Military and a:strong party of those disturbers of the peace . called " Threshers." The latter, to the number of ion, aisembled in arms within about ' three miles of Granard, and threatened immediate destrudion to several persons in the neighbourhood. A strong party of the Cavan Militia, quartered in Granard, were immediately .ordered out, and the Insurgents refusing to disperse, were fired on, and, after an obstinate engagement, routed with treat slaughter. Several of them were and a great number taken prisoners. 'The jails in that part of the country are full of them: • The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE DONVNS, the ATTOR NEY and SOLICITOR-GENERAL yesterday left town to hold the Commission. At the Mayo Ele&ion, held at Castlebar, a duel took place between Mr. W. an Attorney, who acted as Counsel to the. Returning Officer, and Mr. F. an Agent, employed on the EtcOlon, in consequence of a dispute on the hUstings. The fortner.received Mr. F.'s ball in the groin, and his life is despaired of. The Cognoscenti who attended the private re hearsal, on Wednesday last, at the Opera House, confidently say " all is confirmed that was reported" respeaing the great vocal powers of CATALAN'. She is about five and twenty, and in features much re sembles 'Mrs. SIDDONS. Colonel GRRVILLE is said to be very aalve in pre . paring his scheme for private operatic performances this winter, under the patronage of the higher cir cles. BILLINGTON and GRASSINI, it is said, are to be retained, and - the amusement is likely to make a dreat noise in -the fashionable world, particularly as the Colonel, according to report, means to diver - sifythe treat by poetical 'and literary efisions, and to crown all with the substantial gratification of a pie-nic supper. . . An unexpeaed pugilistic contest took place at a public-house in Oxenden-street, on Tuesday even ing,. between Jack Ward, of fighting celebrity, and a Butcher. The parties once befbre had a contest On the stones, in which the strength of the latter prevailed. They met again' casually at the place described, and young Ward, not being satisfied of any superiority in .the fistic art claimed indire&ly by the Butcher, challenged him to fight for a sum ; but the latter would not fight for money. Ward ; therefore, rather than be stigmatised, took him at his word. The fight which followed lasted twenty minutes. In every round the science of the pro fessional bruiser was manifested, and to an ordinary: penator, it would have appeared that the Butcher. stood 'no chance. He, however,', contrived generally to get into his opponent at the end of the round, and give him a heavy fall, whiCh Sysiem ultimately gave him the viaory. Ward was su much hurt as to be carried hoMe. A dreadful accident happened last week.- . --A.s the son of a respectable tradesman near Fuihani was amusing himself with gunpowder, which he had put into ansolct bellow's pipe, to which he had laid a train, it took fire before he. was - aware, and forted the pipe five inches into the tore part of his head but by the skill and unremitting attention of a Me dical Gentleman of that place, lie is now in a fair way of recovery: LULL. EritrOit, Pssasrarii-rirraa, Dec. 4, A statement having appeared in the Morning Papers of this day, signed by 'Captain CLITIt . EROW, respecting what pa sse d a s a meeting between Liens. General BURTON and Mr. - WHARTON, and which statement leaves the Public too dutch in the dark re"- lative to that transaCtion, I take the liberty to re .qUest you will insert in your Paper the following statement as early as you conveniently can : On the 24th day of last month, MajOr-General . ESTR received a letter from Mr. WETARTON, wrote in the county of Durham, requesting him to call on Lieut. General BURTON, in Upper Brook-street, to require some explanation on the aubjeal of An attack made on Mr. WHARTON'S chara6ter, in his Addrest to the Freemen of Beverley, and that in case redress could not be obtained, he would a6l as his friend at any meeting he should fix with the General. On the; follrfaving day, Major-General ESTR call ed at General BURTON'S, and after explaining the nature of his visit, he requested General litaazs TON would inform him on what ground he had founded the aspersion alluded to. General' BUR• TON not choosing to Comply on' this head, Ge neral ESTE desired his pe,rtnission to read Mr. WHARTON:S statement on the' subject sepposed to have occasioned it ; which paper being read; Gen. BURTON said, that be should by no means agree; to Mr. WHARTON'S statement, but .desired it might be read a second time, when Gen. BoaTias: made hit observations upon each paragraph ; Gcnz. ESTE then observed, that, admitting the whole of the General's observations to be founded, yet he did not con ceive General BURTON to be just;fied in the public attack he had made on Mr. WtalaToat's chara6ter; that the offence being of a private na ture, a breach of a private agreement, atonement should lave been sought in a private mariner, befOre it had been aeted upon in a ,publie one, and entreat ed Gen. BURTON:to consult some friend, whose un biassed mind would give it a fair consideration.--s General BURTON declined every thing of the kind. General EgTE then requested General BURTON to take a few hours consideration on what had passed; and he would again call for his determination. Ge neral BURTON replied, there was not the least occasion for giving such triinble, as his, mind was fixed on the subjeCi ; that the publication had by• no means been a hasty one, but \vas the offspring of strong retleation many days after the Eleciicri ended. Gen. ESTE still pressed a reconsideration of the matter, in order to prevent his proceeding; to * the vary disagreeable task enjoined him by his friend Mr. WHARTON. When General Buttrosr, fixed to his principle, desired him to prOceed, General ESTE then read the following propositions ; as received frotri Mr, NV.HARTON.-- , " That Gen.Burron,as a man ofjiistice and honour, should again address the Freemeit Of iteterfey, arid netituritit them, . - that,' upon furtlier. Ancittiry, he finds iiirnsel f iiirstalUm Mthe opirupn he had foruied of the benaviour of iirs la!r Col reattla at the last Eleetion,and I9nger ascribs to bin; the condua ha had imputed to him."-4 ". That, upon further inquiry into tha v - atisaCtionS of the late Election, he finds the opinion lie had Nirlied of the equ dueit of his late Colleagae, their present RLprese:itative was erroneous." . Gen. Burton declared he should not aieree to any such ato:. position. Gen. t. ste h.tving been authorierd ayNli:Whartax .accept.any acknowledgment he might think suffiCient; Geri. Ette proposed that t;en..,Burton 'should draw up 34 propersi_ tion that he himself would accede to, in order to - prevent the delivery of a message enjoined to Gen. Este, in, case /1".) pro per conciliation was offered. General Burton said, that he should not do arty thing of the kind; that he must abide by, his own ad, and was well aware that he was answerable to it, and mentioned a like condua in a former affair. General Este then fixed the meeting, when General Burton enjoined his secrecy. On Monday, previous to the meeting, , General ESTE talked the matter over with Capt. CLITHEROW; Gen. BURTON'S Second, and urged every argument he - could suggest, that some proper concili atory ste p *might be made by General BURTON to set aside the necessity' of going to extre m i t i es , b ut w i thout of fect; when the following circumstances took place near Barnet :—After an exchange of shots, Air: WHARTON :said, that without designing to injure General BURTON in his election, and under a mis conception, he had stated in a letter to• One of hip Constituents, that their joint address had not been written with any view to a coalition, and that he had so done, imagining Gen. BoaToxr had made a like re presentation to his frie n d s; a cop y of which letter he had sent to the Generals and on which the reflec tion complained of was founded ; and lie hoped the General would now do him the justice to explain the circumstances in another address .to the Freemen: This the General declined doing, as being a contra di6tion of what he had before stated, and which wag founded on Mr. WHARTON'S Letter. General ESTE observes, that the ciretirristandeit herein stated to have passed after the exchange of shot, may not be corre&ly stated in the Order they exaaly occurred ; but he does positively aver they were in substance what passed on the grotind ;' and that previous to the final adjustment, Gen.'B.traTo4 asked Mr. WitAttroN if he was satisfied, and if not, he should keep to his ground. Mr. WHARTON said; that he cane there to satisfy his honour, not private enmity, and if Gen. ESTE thought he had done stitTh cient, he should be satisfied ; when Gen. BURTdN said, you have aded as.a brave man ; and that he also bore no enmity, and if you are satisfied, mart willing to shake hands—or words to that effeat ; when Ge neral gsT 4 .-was of Opinidn the matter should drop; and the parties advanced towards each other, and shook 'hands.
