A despatch, of which the foWowing is a copy, has been receiv d at this office, addressed to Viscount Palmerston, G. C. B , her Nlaj , sty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, by Colonel Sir Charles Fa-lix Smith, C. 8., commanding the fore( s in Syria : St. Jean d'Acro, Nov. 5, 1840. My Lord—On the 29th ultimo, it was finally deter mined between Sir Robert Stopferd and myself, that the siege of Acre should ba undertaken. I accordingly de taeised Omar 11,/ fur the purpose of advancing- from Sidon, n 'tit two thousand Turks upon Tyro, and thence to oc cupy the Pass of the White Mountain to the northward of this place ; and on the 31st the Admiral made sail from Beyrout Road,, Navin,; previously embarked in the squad_ sou three thousacd men, under the immediate command of the Pac . .la.. Selina, and small detachments of royal artil lery and sappers, under Major Higgins, of the former corps, and Lieut. Aldrich, royal engineers. Omar Bey reached the positkm assigned to him at the same hour on the 2d inst, that the fleet appeared off Acre. Owing to light winds, the ships did not get into action till two p.m., oil the 3.1, when an animated fire commenced, and was maintained; without intermission until darkness closed the operations of the day. About three hours later the Givernur, with a portion of the garrison, quitted the town, which was taken poftession of by the allied troops at day-light the following morning. The moral ioduoace, on the cause in which we are engaged, that will result from its surrender, is incalculable. During the bombardment, the principal magazine and the whole arsenal blew up. By the explosion, two entire regiments, formed in position on the ramparts, were an nihilated, and .every living creature within the area of 60,000 square. yards, ceased to exist ; the loss of life being variously computed front 1,200 to 2,000 persons. Those who nsay have been inclined to doubt the fighting qualities o 4 the Egyptian traops, might acquire a lesson from the example of their endurance, if they could but contemplate the devastation and scene of horror by which this once formidable fortress is enshrouded. To the Royal Navy, I should be guilty of great injus tice were I to attempt to record services that will be so much more ably detailed by their gallant and respected Commander-in -Chief, whilst the early departure of the dis psteh vessel for Malt..., and the labour that has devolved on me within the walls, alike deprive ate of the means of transmittin g returns of orduance,ammunition,trcasures, &c. &e., that have fallen into the hands of the captors, and of giving your Lordship an approximation, even to the amount of prisoners (over three thousand), as many are still coming in, and others are dragged in numbers from their places of refuge and concealment.

Sir— You will be pleased to acquaint the Lords Corn- missioners of the Admiralty that the town and fortress of Acre were taken possession of by the allied forces under my command this morning, in the name of the Sultan. The circumstances which led to this result occurred on the 3d, when a heavy cannonade from the ships and vessels, beginninr , at two p.m., and ending a t fi ve , com pl e t e ly de molished'the town, and materially damaged the fortifica• tions, inducing the Egyptians to evacuate the place in the night. A tremendous explosion of a large magazine of pow der took place about four p.m. on the 3d. . The attacks were made upon the west lines, and the south face of the works, the former composed of the fol lowing ships, viz. Princess Charlotte, Powerful, Bellero phon, Revenge, Thunderer, Pique, under the immediate command of Commodore Napier (as I thought it advisable to accompany Colonel Sir Chas. F. Smith in the Phoenix steamer, to be ready to take advantage of any breach that might be made in either of the two sea faces of the walls of the place for an immediate assault.) The south face, being a more contracted anchorage, was occupied by the Edinburgh, Benbow, Castor, Carysfort, Talbot, Wasp, and Hazard, the destruction caused by the fire of the ships on both sides, sufficiently proves its rapidity and precision. Rear-Admiral Baron de Bandeira, in the Austrian fri gate Medea, and the fluerriero, under the command of his Imperial Highness the Archduke Frederick, with the Austrian oorvette Lipsia, rendered much assistance. Rear- Admiral Walker Bey, in the Sultan's ship Mookuddimay i• hive, of 74 guns, took up a most favourable position op posed to the south face, and did good service. The steamers Gorgon, Vesuvius, Phenix, and S:romboli fired shot and shells into the town with much precision, and it is generally supposed that shells from the Gorgon occasioned the destruction of the powder magazine. A flag of truce having been offered by fhe Turkish Ad miral and rejected a short time before, I did nut think it necessary or becoming that the summons should be re peated, particularly as hostilities had already commenced, and the ships and steamers had been fired upon as they approached the walls. I have not been able to ascertain the number of troops in the town of Acre at the commencement of our fire ; they have been estimated at four thousand five hundred, besides a body of cavalry outside the town of eight hundred : many lives were lost by the explosion of the magazine : seven hundred Egyptians and two officers of rank came in this morning with their arena and surrendered themselves as prisoners. To Colonel Sir Charles Smith devolves the task of putting the town and fortifications into a posture of de fence, arid I am happy to find that his health enables hint to perform this duty with his usual intelligence. A great quantity of arms and ammunition were found at Acre, and the fortifications were fist getting into a state of preparation against attack. I am much indebted to Captain Edward Boxer, of the Pique, and to Captain Codrington, of the Talbot, for the excellent surveys which they made of the shoals round Acre. ohich enabled the ships to go in without risk of getting ashore. I return a list of the killed and wounded in the Allied squadron ; but the damages to the masts and rigging can be made good, without the ships being sent off the station. The success of this enterprise, so important in its re sults, has called for my acknowledgment in general orders to the officers and men of the combined squadrons, whose united exertions had so musk contributed to its attain anent.—l have the honour to be, &e.

Whitehall Treasury Charnbeis, Dee. I, 1840. MISSION OF SIR MOSES MONTEFIORE. ( Abridged from the Oriental Observer of Nov. 9. ) As Sir Moses Montefiore, after having been eminently successful in obtaining the objects of one of the most honour able missions ever entrusted to man, is about to leave Con stantinople on his return home, having accomplished the immediate views of his brethren in Europe, he has since devoted his whole attention to the permanent amelioration of the condition of the Jews in general. The most important of the various benefits resulting front his visit is the adoption, by the heads of the Hebrew nation, of a recommendation of Sir Moses with regard to the education of youth. An admonitory proclamation of the:Chief Rabbi enjoins all parents to have their children instructed in the Turkish language, a competent knowledge of which will not only open to the Jews a new field of utility, but will tend greatly to improve their social position. We proceed to present to our readers a translation from the Turkish of the Chief Rabbi's address to tl.c people : '° Translation from Hebrew of the Admonitory Proclama tion of the Chief Rabbi, addressed to the Jews inhabit ing Constantinople and the Ottoman Empire. " Praise be to God, we, under the reign of our pi eaent just and gracious Sovereign, enjoy ease and security. In order to make known to you all the contents of the Ilatti Sherif, last year promulgated at Gulkhane, it was trans lated into Hebrew, and copies were sent, not only to you, but to every community of the nation distributed over the empire. For this great benefit we are in duty bound to offer up constantly in our temples, before the Holy Pen tateuch, supplications for his Highness the Sultan. The motive of the present, however, is to state that, since it is proper for men to use all diligence in acquiring knowledge and learning, and as we have seen that, in the reign of the present Sovereign, persons devoting themselves to science and literature attain consideration and respecta bility, whilst none of our people have yet shown a taste for erudition and the acquisition of other languages ; from this time henceforth let the children of our nation learn to read and write the Turkish language, whereby, it cannot be doubted, they will obtain many precious advan tages. Therefore, hereafter I enjoin all of you to be par ticularly attentive to have your children taught Turkish, and other branches of education, and to pray daily and perseveringly for tho prosperity of the Sultan. " And now may the God of glory bless his Ma',esty, guard him safely from all the evils of exist e nce, an d secure him perpetually on the throne of the succession ! •Amen. Ist Hashvan, 5601." On the eveniug of the 28th ult. Sir Muses Montetiote was admitted to an audience of the Sultan, is order to present an address expressive of gratitude for the justice his Majesty had shown the Jews in the affair at Rhoits. Sir Moses was accompanied by George Samuel, David Williams Wire, Esq., of the City of London; and Dr. L. Loewe, attended by Mr. Pisani, first dragoman of the British Embassy. They were pt./ceded by torches, and escorted to the Palace by several cavasses on horse back, and a military guard of honour. Oa reaching the Palace they were received by his Excellency Reschid Pacha, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and his Excellency Riza Pacha, Governor of the Imperial Establishment. Coffee and pipes were served, and, after a short pause, the visitors were conducted to the hall of state. Sir Moses having been presented to the Sultan, who was seated on a divan, read the following address:— " May it please your Imperial Majesty, " In the name of my brethren who have deputed me, I come to lay at the foot of your Imperial throne the grate ful homage of their respect. " England my country, and other enlightened nations of the earth, heard the cries of the suffering and perse cuted Jews at Damascus and at Rhodes, and they hastened to offer to the sufferers their sympathy and affection, but the Lord God who ruled' over all prevented the necessity of their aid at Rhodes, and inspired your Imperial Ma jesty with wisdom, justice, and the love of truth. Under your righteous direction the oppressor was laid low, the designs of the wicked made known, and the innocent de livered, I therefore crave permission to offer to your Im perial ;Majesty the profound gratitude of the hearts of our people, and to utter our prayers that the merciful God may bless your Imperial Majesty with length of days, with wisdom, and honour, and riches, and so direct all your ac tions that your name may be inscribed in golden characters for ever, and the memory of your deeds smell as sweet as a garden of roses. In ancient times the Lord God brought our people ont of Egypt, and for ages they dwelt in the land of Pa. lestine ; to them were committed lively oracles of Gad, and, though now dispersed amongst the nations of the earth, they arc numbered with the most peaceful and loyal su b.. j ec ts, and by i n d us t r y t h e y have augmented the ri c h es and prosperity of the countries in which they live. They look with love and veneration upon that land where their forefathers dwelt ; they pray that all who live therein may enjoy the shadow of your sub:ime protection, and in peace be permitted to worship the G o d of their fetkers. Their prayers ascend to Him whose wisdom is absolute, whose decrees are fixed and immutable, whom none can withstand, that lie will make your enemies bite the dust ; that they may vanish as the morning dew, a n d flee away as chaff before the wind ; that your Throne may endure for ever, and that all who li v e un d er your sceptre may have peace ; sitting under their own vines and under their own fig trees, none daring or wishing to make them afraid." This was repeated in Turkish by Mr. Pisani, and the re. ply of the Sultan was to the following effect : " The communication made and the sentiments ex pressed by the deputation have given me great pleasure. I was greatly affected by the occurrences at Damascus, but endeavoured to offer some satisfaction to the Israelite na tion by giving orders that justice should be done at Rhodes. The Jewish community will ever enjoy under me the came protection and the same advantages as arc accorded to all the other subjects deny empire. " I grant the firman the deputation have asked for, and truly appreciate, gentlemen, the philanthropic views that have brought you to this capital." The Sultan then desired Sir Moses to draw nearer, on doing which he was again presented to his Imperial Ma jesty by Reschid Pacha. Sir Moses was then requested by the Sultan to present by name the gentlemen who ac companied him. The demeanour of the young Sovereign throughout ti e scene was at once gracious and dignified. Whilst it lasted, a band, placed in the garden, executed, in admirable st)lo, several fine pieces of music. Sir Moses and his friends had reason to feel ple ised and flattered at the kind and distinguished reception they had met with. They withdrew from the hall of state to the apartments of Riza Pacha, where they were served with sherbet and other refreshments, after partaking of which Sir Moses and his companions took leave and quitted the palace. A guard of honour drawn up i❑ the outer court presented arms, the band struck up, and the party were dismissed with the same consideration that had been shown them during the whole course of their visit. Nor were the pub lic indifferent to the matter; the visit of Sir Moses to the palace being known crowds of persons assembled, as well to witness his departure as to greet his return. Translation of the Firmer, granted hy his Imperial Ma jesty ti.e Sultan Abd-ul-Medjid to the Israelites in his empire, at the request of Sir Moses Nlontefiore, F. R. S., and delivered to hina_ at Constantinople by his Excel lency Reschid Pacha, Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Ottoman, Porte, 11th Heshvan, 5601-12th Ramazan, 1 6 256—corresponding to Nov, 6, 1840. A Firman addressed to the Chief Judge at Constantinople, at the bead of which his Imperial Majesty the Sultan has written with his own band the following words : " Let that be executed which is prescribed in this Firman." An ancient prejudice prevailed against the Jews. The ignorant believed that the Jews were accustomed to sacri. fice a human being, to make use of his blood at their feast of the Passover. In consequence of this opinion the Jews of Damascus and Rhodes (who arc the subjects of our empire) have 6 been persecuted by other nation:. The calumnies which have been uttered against the Jews and the vexations to which they have been subjected have at last reached the Imperial throne. But a short time has elapsed since some Jews, dwelling in the isle of Rhodes, have been brought thence to Con stantinople, where they have been tried and judged . according to the new regulati ons , an d th e i r i nnocenc e of the accusations made against them fully proved. That, therefore, which justice and equity required has been done in their behalf. Besides which, thc religious books of thc llubtewJ have been examined by learned men, well versed in their theological literature, the result of which examination is, that it is found that the Jews are strongly prohibited, not only from using human blood, but even that of ani mals. It therefore follows, that the charges made against them and their religion are nothing but pure calumnies. For this reason, and for the love we bear to our subjects, we cannot permit the Jewish nation (whose in nocence of the crime alleged against them is evident) to be vexed and tormented upon accusations which have fiat the least foundation in truth, but that, in conformity to the Haiti Scherif, which had been proclaimed at Gill bane, the Jewish nation shall possess the s,.me advan tages, and enjoy the same privileges, as are granted to the numerous other nation s who submit to our authority. The Jewish nation shall he protected and defended. To accompli this object we have given the most po sitive orders that the Jewish nation dwelling in all pints (.f . our empire shall be perfectly protected as well as all other subjects of the Sublime Porte, and that no person shall molest them in any manner whatever (except fur a just cause), neither in the free exercise of their religion, nor in that which concerns their safety and tranquillity. In consequence, the present firman, which is ornamented at the head with our " Hoomaionn" (sign manual ), and emanates from our Imperial Chancelleric, has been deli vered to the lsraelitish nation. Thus you, the above -named judge, when you know the conte i n i t i s ti o le f i t n h a i n s n fi e r r m th a e n r , ei w n ill t nd eavour to act with g reat care prescribed. And in order that nuthing, may be done in opposition to this firman at any time hereafter, you wi:l register it in the achieves of the tribunsl ; you will afterwards deliver it to the I•;ra elitish nation; and you will take great care to execute our orders and this our sovereign will. Given at Constantinople, the ;2th Ramazan, 1256 (6111 of November, 1840 ) FISHMONGERS' AND POUL TERERS' SOCIETY. The fifth anniversary dinner of the Fishmongers and Poulterers' Society, the object of which " is to provide an asylum and relief for aged and infirm fishmongers and poulterers, and for giving occasional, and, if possible, permanent relief to decayed, aged, and infirm persons, who had been employed in the fish or poultry trades, and their wives or widows, and also for affording occa sional relief to their necessitous orphans," took place yesterday evening at the Bridge House Hotel, London bridge. At six o'clock the chair was taken by James Har mer, President of the Society, and upwards of 150 gentlemen sat down to dinner, which was served up in excellent style, and to which the company did abundant justice. After the cloth had been removed and Non Nobis Domine sung by the professional gentlemen, Messrs. Moody, Green, Fry, Land, and Caulfield, The CHAIRMAN gave the health of the Queen and the Infant Princess Royal, which was drunk with three times three and the greatest enthusiasm. The ❑ext toast was his Royal Highness Prince Albert, which was drunk with much applause, the Chairman observing that that Society was the first which had drank his Royal Highness's health on his arrival in England. Air—" Here's a Health to the Prince." The health of " the Queen Dowager," " the Duke of Sussex and the rest of the Royal Family," " the Army and Navy," were afterwards given from the chair, and cordially responded to. Mr. THOMAS SAUNDERS, after some appropriate re marks upon the liberal manner in which the various and extensive charities of the metropolis were supported, gave " the cities of London and Westminster, and the borough of Southwark, and prosperity to the trades thereof." The CHAIRMAN then gave " Prosperity to the Fish mongers' and Poulterers' Society." He referred to the greet benefits which the Society had already conferred upon deserving individuals connected with the trade. and urged those to whom providence had been bountiful to assist by their liberal contributions so deserving a charity. The toast was followed by loud and general cheering, and a song which had been composed expressly for the occasion by Thomas Dibden, was given in very effec tive style by Mr. Moody. The SECRETARY then read the annual report of the Society, front which it appeared that a sum of 125/. had been realized by a steam-boat excursion and a theatrical benefit, and that a sum of 1,900/. had been funded, leaving a balance of upwards of 50/. in the Treasuier'a hands. A hook had been opened for the re cept of subscriptions and donations at Messrs. Drum mond, the hankers'. The report was received with great applause. ' Mr. BLACKBURNE gave the health of their worthy chairman, .lames Harmer, Esq.— (Loud and great cheering for some minutes ) The CHAIRMAN said he was always anxious to de serve the approbation of those whose good opinion was worth deservin'. The plain title he had always sup ported, and which he was most anxious should be en graved upon his tomb, was, Here lies honest James Harmer."—(Loud cheers.) Through a long and anxious life he had sought to achieve the honour. Tile idle pomps and vanitie s of the world he had never cared for, and he assured them that when he was relieved (and it was a relief) from the thraldom of having to go through the cares and pageantry of office, nothing bad gratified his feelings more.—( Hear, hear.) His oppo nents mortified if they knew bow much strangelyul, and how much labour and vexationleh they g : woulddie gratified had hint, saved him.—(Hear, hear.) He owed them no ill - will.--(Cheers.) On the contrary, he thanked them, and he begged to return the company his sincere thanks for the honour they had conferred on him. The SECRETARY then read the amount of donations and subscriptions received during the evening, which included 10/. from the Chairman, 10/. from Mr. Black hurtle, and other large sums, amounting to nearly 200/. The healths of the Vice-President, Treasurer, Trus tees, and other officers of the Society were then given, and the evening• passed off with the greatest hilarity and good humour. master, officiated f or the first time, and with great Mr. Toole, jun., t h e son of the celebrated toast master, success. WARD OF FARRINGDON WITH OUT. Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, a Ward Mote of the W a rd Farringdon XVithout, was convened at the New Court of tho Central Criminal Court, at which a very numerous portion of the electors were present, for the purpose of choosing a fit and proper person to he Alderman, in the room of Mr. James Harmer, who has retired from the office. The body of the Court was nearly filled, and the gallery was also densely crowded. The Lord Mayor presided on the occasion, who was accompanied by his usual official attendants. His Lord ship, up on taking his scat, was received with mingled hisses and applause. SirJames . buke, M.P., Mr. Deputy Blackett, Messrs. Galloway, IL Taylor, Wells, &c. &c., were by the side of the Lord Mayor. The precept issued from the Court of Aldermen having been read, Mr. PEARSON said that it was of considerable im portance to them that they should have a gentleman returned by them as Alderman of the Ward who would discharge the duties for the benefit and interest of the ward. Ile rose to propose to his Lordship and the electors of the ward Sir James Duke, M.l' , as the successor of their late Alderman—(Cheers)—as it WAS considered by those gentlemen who had supported him, that both from the political principles that he professed, and fr om hi s h av i ng b een f or many years past con nected w i t h t h e c i ty o f L on d on , in t h e a b sence of any one havi ng starte d i n t h e war d, t h at h e was the most fit and prop er p erson .—((sheers.) Si r J ames Willi ams had been proposed, but the conditions on which he had presented hi mse lf ( w hich were offered to t h e war d, after 4 requisition, most respectably and numerously signed, had been drawn up in favour of Sir James Duke,) were so worded as to obviate any exertions in his favour, and more particularly so, after the demon strations that were exhibited when Sir James Duke ap peared before the electors ; while the political princi ples that were known to be entertained by Mr. Butterworth rendered his election in the ward uncertain. They were then obliged to look for some one o ut o f t h e ward ; when as it was known that Sir J ames D u k e would stand a contest if demand e d, i t was d eterm ined by several of the most infl uent i a l gent l emen o f the ward, who espoused his politic a l principles, that he sh ould he p ro p osed . After some fu rt h er observations he mo ve d th a t Sir Jas. D u k e, M.P , was a fit and proper pe rson to p o ss e ss the Alderinanic gown of the Ward. Mr. PONTIFEX se-Nnded the motion, which was car ried unanimously. Mr. Deputy BLAcKETT then moved a resolution in approbation of Alderman Harmer. Mr. GALLOWAY seconded the resolution and spoke in terms of praise of his conduct. Mr. TAYLOR also supported the resolution, which was carried unanimously.

Extract of a letter from Zante, 11th inst., in the Medi tot aneo of Malta : " On the :30th ult., at half-past nine in the morning, a violent earthquake overthrew numerous houses in this city, and eight persons were buried in the ruins. The total number of houses th a t h ave f a ll en i s 240. hut all the others, without exception, have been inure or less injured ; and in the fortress only two or three have been left stand ing. The: damage caused to the country i 3 immense ; some villages may be almost said no longer to exist, as only sonic portions were left to mark the spots that have been inha bited. Some have suffered less in proportion than these, but have not been free from great loss. Of the country houses of Zante no mention need be made, for they are all in ruins. It is sufficient to state that Count Roma, who was the proprietor of so many, has only one remaining. Fortunately the day being tine, the inhabitants of the country were out of doors, and up to the present' hour it is not known that any in the country districts have been killed. The loss is enormous, and many years must elapse before Zinte will recover from the blow. The Lord ftgli Commissioner, Sir Howard Douglas, arrived in our port just at the time of the catastrophe." The following is from Sir Howard Douglas, dated on the day of the earthquake : " I arrived off this island just the moment of a terrible catastrophe--an earthquake more violent than any which has happened since 1775. We were within three miles of the island when the engine of the steamer was agitated in a very extraordinary manner, and which the captain de clared to lie the effect of an earthquake. His opinion was soon confirmed by the appearance of columns of sand and dust along the coast. Oa coming closer in with the land we saw that rnornious masses had been detached fi ona the hills and the islands of Trentunove and Curio Nero. On reaching the town we discovered the ravages caused by the visitation. Very few houses remained standing, the prison was damaged, and the Resident's house no longer habitable. Whole streets were choked up with ruins, and their inhabitants fled to other parts of the town which had suffered less. The local government is preparing a de tailed report of these misfortunes, but it is already known that seven or eta ht lives have been lost." Another letter of the 12th says— " We arrived here on the 30th of last month, a quarter of an hour after the great shock of the earthquake, which we ourselves felt most sensibly on board. The effects of it on shore are most lamentable. Whole villages have been ruined; and at this season of the year, when the rains are hourly expected, it is sad, indeed, to see the poor wretches sitting on the ruins of their dwellings, hundreds and hundreds of them without a farthing to assist in re building. Government lies done much, and charity is ex erting itself all it can to render help to the destitute. There is not a house in the town of Zante which has not, more or less, suffered, and many to a considerable extent. Two and a halt millions of dollars is the lowest estimate of damage done altogether. We have had at least 150 shocks since which keep the people in constant alarm." The subjoined from Corfu of the 11th refers to the ca tastrophe : " An awful earthquake took place at the ill-fated is. land of Zante en Friday. Sir Howard Douglas and suite are still there, and have during the last week felt upwards of 100 shocks, and some very smart ones. The country has suffered seVerely, but providentially not more than seven Lives have been lost. The inhabitants are all in a state of the greatest alarm, and the damage done is esti mated at $1,500,000. Fortunately the weather was, up to Friday last, remarkably fine, or the sufferings of the poor would have been tenfold ; a subscription has been opened for the immediate relief of the poor wretches, whose houses are utterly destroyed. Gentlemen who have come from Zante say, that after the first tremendous shock the town had the appearance of a place that had been bombarded for a month, and only fancy what it must look like now that they have had one hundred and more shocks, which it is said have crumbled down those buildings which the first shock rent. A small island in the harbour of Zante has disappeared ; there were a few fishermen's huts upon it, but we know not whether any poor wretches were on it at the time." NEUTRALITY of • SWITZERLAND FEDERAL CIRCULAR ADDRESSED BY THE VORORT TO THE CANTONS. Zuatcu, Nov. 27.—The Vorort had deemed it expe dient to send to the Swiss Charge d'Affaires in Paris and in Vienna copies of the Federal Circular of the 20th. Oct ober last, in which it had set forth to the States the motives which had resolved it to convoke an extraordinary Com mission of military inspection. Those two Charges d'Af faires communicated confidentially those two copies to the Governments to which they are accredited, and that in con formity with the custom pursued between friendly States. The Verort has received the note herein inclosed, dated the 10th of this month, from the Austrian Embassy in Switzerland. The Vol ort believes that it can equally ad mit that the French Government has appreciated its circu lar of tit.: 20th October in the same as was manifest in its compilation. We have, &c. REPLY OF THE AUSTRIAN CABINET. Ilsusa, Nov. 10 —The Federal Charge d'Affaires, Baron de Fingesr, has conveyed to the knowledge of Prince Nletternich the circular addressed to the States on the 20th of October last, by which the Vorort announces the Convocation of the Commission of military inspection, and expresses the firm raaolution to cause the neutrality to be respected which the European Treaties have insured to Switzerland. The undersign,d, Ambassador Extraordi nary and Minister of his Imperial and Apostolic Majesty to the Helvetic Confederation, has received, in conse quence of that communication, the honourable mission to express to the Burgomaster and Council of State of the Canton of Zurich, as Vorort, the high satisfaction with which the Austrian Cabinet has received the sentiments manifested in that circular. Tuose sentiments are worthy jof the ancient family and loyalty of so loyal a people, and are at the same time a solid gua rantee of the security and of the well-being of the Con federation in the midst of every tempest that might break out in Europe. The undersigned has been charged at the same time to give the Vorort in the name of his Government the assurance that the efforts of Switzer land, having for its object to maintain her neutrality, will always obtain the assent and encouragement of Austria, for, in the eyes of the Imperial Cabinet, that neutrality, founded on solemn treaties, is an inviolable palladium, and consequently the principles of the Imperial Cabinet coin cide in that respect with those of Switzerland, so as to exclude every interest that is divided. The undersigned avails himself of this opportunity to renew to the Burgo master and Council of State of Zurich the assurance of his high consideration, &c. (Signed) Count De BOAIBELLE. This d ,current pacifies great uneasiness. At the hour of danger the measures of defence can be adopted with the same activity, but also with more confidence. The passage of the circular which speaks of France is applied, it is said, to declarations which arc of a nature to dispel all uneasiness on this side. It is stated that the adjournment of the federal military authority will be very shortly deli berated upon. WOOLWICH. ROYAL ARSENAL,—The Ebenezer ordnance sloop com menced loading yesterday at the Wharf of the Royal Arsenal. The cargo will consist of a number of large guns, howitzers, and mortars, for conveyance to Port mouth, where they will be reshipped into one of the large ships under orders for the Mediterranean. The articles are intended fur a particular service, the designation given to all the military stores recently forwarded to Syria, Twenty-six additional workmen, were entered yesterday, and commenced working in the laboratory department of the Royal Arsenal. With the number of hands formerly employed, and the assistance of tho Royal Artillery, who, in turn, acquire a knowledge of the art of compounding powder into the various forms used in the army, the quantity now furnished for service must be very great. Three blacksmiths and one tinman were also entered yes terday, and commenced working in the carriage de partment. It is worthy of remark, that notwithstanding the great quantity of military stores recently shipped from the Royal Arsenal for China, Syria, and other parts of the world, the supply has been so well kept up that there is actually at present a greater quantity on hand than there was at the commencement of the year, when the stock exceeded 28,000 large guns and upwards of 4,000,000 of bags and shells. FUNERAL OF THE HON. MRS CAVENDISH. The mortal remains of the lady of the Hon. Henry Cavendish were conveyed from his residence, in Bur. lington.gArdens, on Monday morning, to Streatham, where they were deposited in a vault beneath the church, by the side of those of the lion. Frederick Howard, third son of the fifth Earl of Carlisle, to whom she was married in 1811, and who was killed at the bead of a squadron of the 10th Hussars in a charge at Waterloo in 1815, of which marriage Frederick John Howard, Eiq., M. P. for Youghal, is the only surviving issue. This la mented lady was secondly married, in 1819, to the Hun. Henry Frederick Compton Cavendish, by whom . she has left three sons and an only daughter, in her 14th year, to mourn over her loss. The more remote cause of Mrs. Cavendish's illness may be traced back to the shock she underwent in 1832 by the sudden and awful death from cholera of her mother. Since that period this amiable and accomplished lady has been, with little intermission, in a declining state of health, which rendered her quite unequal to bear up against an other not less severe or awful calamity with which she was visited in the autumn of 1839, namely, the death of her son Harry, who, in previous good health, was, after 36 hours' illness, snatched from this life in his 18th year. From the effects of this additional shock she never rallied, but has gradually fallen into a state of extreme debility, to arrest the progress which baffled the skill of the most eminent among the medical profession, and she expired totally ex hausted, without any apparent suffering„ early on the morning of the 23d, surrounded by her husband, Miss Ca vendis'.i, and her five children. Mrs. Cavendish was the only daughter of William Henry Lanibton, Esq., and Lady Ann, second daughter of the fourth Earl of Jersey, and sister to the late Earl of Durham, William Henry Lambton, Esq„ and lied . worth Lanibton, Esq., M. P. for Durham. She was fol hmed to the grsve by her afflicted husband and children, her brother, W. H. Lambton, Esq„ and his lady, the Hon, Charles Compton Cavendish (brother of the Colonel), William Henry Frederick Cavendish, William George Cavendish, and W. B. Harcourt, Esqrs., and Martin Tupperley, Esq., the medical attendant. The funeral procession was closed by the ca rr i ages o f the following nobility and friends of the , deceased lady, viz. ' h e r Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, his Grace the Duko of Devonshire, Lady M ary Bentinck, Lady Pechell, the Hon. Charles Compton Cavendish, W. 11. Lambton, Esq., William B. Harcourt, Esq., and Robert Vincr, Esq. The Gloucester, 50 guns, and Eagle," 50 guns, are ordered to be got ready for sea at Chatham. LATEST FROM AMERICA, By the arrival of the New York packet-ship Virginian, Captain Allen, which left New York on the 13th of No vember, we have received papers from that city two days later than those received by the President. The Oxford, which sailed on the 3d, has not yet reached, although she has been now anticipated by both the Patrick Henry and the Virginian. These papers contain very little news in teresting in England. The result of the election of Ge neral Harrison to the Presidential chair, and ita probable influence on the future welfare of the country, fill most of the papers. Amongst other steps, the establishment of a General Bankrupt Law, a National Bank, a better disposal of the Public Lands, and other matters are mentioned. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.—TIICIISDA Y. Within the last three months upwards of three millions of specie has been shipped from this port, and principally to France ; and yet this large and steady drain has not been felt. We have lost this specie, too, at a peculiar time, when trade is dull, and when all places south of this are not paying out, but are hoarding up specie. We have parted with it, too, without our banks being called on for a dollar, or the merchants having been pinched in the slightest degree. In ordinary times this city could not have bad taken from her this large sum without a serious prvssure, nor without its effects having been felt in other sections of the country. A question naturally arises, how has this come about ?—One great reason is, the ef fect of the wise and judicious law passed by the last Legislature, compelling the Banks in this State to redeem their notes either here or at Al bany, for the effect has been to concentrate all capital here. The banks in the interior require no specie, but, on the contrary, any large amount kept in their vaults is not only a burden, but an absolute loss of interest : all their balances concentrate here. The specie of our State falls naturally into the banks here, and the effect is that the parting with three or four millions of dollars is not felt. If, however, the case was different, and all these interior banks redeemed their notes at home, there would be not only no balance belonging to them resting in our vaults, but they would necessarily be alarmed, and would make extra exertions to provide for emergencies ; and in this way our specie would be called for at the same time to supply a foreign and do. mestic demand. We have no doubt it would be of infinite benefit to trade if the banks in every State were compelled to redeem their notes at one point. The commotion of drawing, redeeming, and shifting of specie would be greatly abridged. In New England, where all the banks redeem their notes in Boston, there is no difficulty in exchanges, and seldom any respecting specie. It flows in and out of the banks as the current of trade requires. It' all the banks in Ohio, for instance, were required to redeem their notes in Cincinnati, or some centre of trade, the rate of exchange would be at once regulated; the difference between this city and all the banks in Ohio would be but a mere trifle. In every vice that can be taken, the arrangement of banks redeem ing their bills has great advantages over the old system. To the public the subject is of great interest and im portance. The Boston Atlas cautions the public against Bridge port (Connecticut) Bank bills, altered from $1 to $2O. TIIURSDAY.-The operations were to a large extent to day.

By the steam-ship New York, Captain Wright, from this city via Havannah, files of papers of the latter port to the 29th ult, have been received in New Orleans, fur nishing the following intelligence : - MEXICO.—The Havannah papers contain Mexican dates to a week or two into Oct. We learn from Vera Cruz that the British Minister had made repeated complaints as to the delay of the Government in replying to the several de mands made upon the Mexican Government (probably in regard to the imprisonment of men in California, and the internal duty), and that unless a reply was made in a given time, he should demand his passport. This important step was said to have occasioned a great sensation among the reflecting people—so much so, that a petitiot, was ini nudiately presented to Congress on the subject, and a secret session of the Chamber of Deputies was held in consequence; and the Mexican paper observes, that a great many persons are dissatisfied at the result of their deliberation. TOBASCO.—It is stated that an iniquitous act in To basco has reduced a considerable part of the capital of that department to ashes, and reduced a great part of the inha bitants to poverty and wretchedness. HAVANNAII, OCT. 28 —The steam-boat Colombia is sold to a Company, and sails on the lit for Charleston as a regular packet. This will connect the line to New York. The schooner Creole, from New Orleans, arrived here on the 24th, without a bill of health, and went into quaran tine for seven days. The laws are rigidly enforced. Even the letters of the Creole are not yet delivered. ROTATION SYSTEM IN THE ARMY. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. Sia,—l take the liberty of addressing the following statement to you, which, as a well-wisher of the Army generally, I am sure you will make known to the public, through the columns of your valuable paper : Lord Hill has frequently announced his intention of carrying out the Rotation System without partiality or favour. The following instance will show how that determination has been adhered to. The 22d Re giment, after a long services in the East Indies, some twenty years ago, came home; they remained the usual time in this country, and naturally expected a good station. However, they were disappointed, and or dered for service in tae West Indies. After serving ton years in Jamaica they returned home in April, 1837, and have remained in this country since that time, and once more congratulated themselves at the prospect of at least obtaining a tolerable station. Will it—can it be believed? It is, indeed, too true; and to the shame of the Horse Guards be it said, they have just received an order for early embarkation for Bombay. Is this carrying out the Rotation System ? Is this impartiality ? Justice, my Lord Hill ! Justice is all we ask for, and that we do ask for. The 42d and 88th Regiments, after serving in the Me diterranean, are sent out there again ; and the 22d Regi ment, which has never had a good station, is sent to Bombay. It may well be called the 4'b West India Regi ment. Such an act of flagrant injustice I hope the Press will not allow to pass unnoticed, VICTIM. Athlone, Nov. 30, 1840. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Fl 11 E.—Between eight and nine o'clock on Tuesday night a fire, which owing to the prompt arrival of the Farringdomstreet and West of England engines did but little damage, broke out in the workshops of Cocks, pewterer, No. 66, Soow-hill. It appeared that a portion of the premises used to melt the metal is situa ted in Cock-lane, and by some means a spark from the furnace had fallen down an aperture leading to two large rooms underneath, which arc in the oocupation of Mr. Pugh, ironmonger. The spark fell on a quantity of char coal and paper, which speedily ignited. Mrs. Cocks is insured in the Alliance.
