[FROM 01:5 COMIESPONDENT.I
Pasts, Nov. 17.
The hopes that were disappointed by the King's jouroey
to Compeipne begin to revive. The courtiers console
themselv( s with Ism nods. It was believed that the journey
of his Majesty would at least have led to the diamissal of
M. de Corbierr. His enemies say that the King went to
Compeigne purr chreser fn grassy Isle, male pie la blouse
st. 4 point nisei. Yesterday the reports of the d:rnissal of
that Minister were stronger than ever, in consequence of
his having gone to the Tuileries with his Seeretary-Geoeral,
who carried his portfolio. The grand Council that was held on
Sunday has given rise to many conjectures ; it was re-
ported, that it was convoked at the instanc,. of the Dauphin,
who expected diet the King might derive more certain
information as to the state of public opinion, than in the
ordinary circle of his Ministers; but among those who were
called to compose this Council, there was scarcely one, ex-
cept M. Ulm, who was able to express his sentiments
freely, and it would have been necessary even that he
should have found himself dams sae &axe seine. The
affairs of Spain, it is understood, formed a principal sub-
ject of the deliberations. The Spanish Government, in
answer to the notification of the departure of the French
troops, have entreated the prolongation of the military
occupation of the Peninsula; and it is probable that it was
to this important point that the discussions were principally
(bowleg!. It is remarked, that the persons who &prelimd
to believe that the influence of M. tie Villele would survive
that of M.M. de Corbiere, and de Peyronnet, begin to
waver in their opinion. At this moment the power of the
President of the Council appears to be strongly shaken.
It is repeated in many circles that a certain Princess
lately said in public, M. de Villele a Nam rceri le Ifni, male
it eel temps pelf se retire. The Foreign Ambassadors are
also against him. The Secretary of M. Pon° di Borgo, it
is said, mentioned to a person that the Emperor of Russia
looked upon the resignation of M. de Villele, at this mo-
ment, as necessary, and that even the Ambassador himself
has made the same remark to the Baron de llamas. M.
de Villele, however, will dispute the field inch by inch.
So far from retiring with a good grace, he will not leave
the Ministry until he is compelled to yield. M. de Cur-
biere, whose fate is identified with that of M. de
does not suffer his anxiety to interfere with hia habitual
amusement: he may be seen almost every day passing
several hours poring over the book stalls upon the quays,
where the boriquirriAls, as they arc call, d, sell old and se-
cond-hand books. lie generally bargains for one or two
for seven or eight sous a volume. His countenance and
figure agree perfectly well with this occupation. Volt
would rather take him for some riesix ruistre de college
(old college book-worm) than the Minister of a great
empire.
The King intends going shortly, for three or four days,
to Fontainbleau; but, as the journey to Compeigne pro-
duced no result, people begin to pay less attention to the
royal movements.

We have news from Constantinople of the 20th instant. The
(iitvernment had not published anything re: pectin;; the disasters of
the Turkish and Egyptian Meets ; but this silence is sufficiently
explicit. There is nu doubt whatever respecting the late events :
'Those of the night of the Ilth were witnessed by many Captains
worthy of credit ; they saw with their own eyes the fire which con-
sumed the Turkish vessels on the coast of 3litylene ; of this num.
bet is the Russian Captain Ramie,* who has given a detailed ac-
count to his Legation. Several other Captains have done the same
to the Consuls of their respective nations : they all agree. that very
few vessels escaped the general destruction ; all that could take re-
fuge in the Dardanelles were pursued by the Greeks, and, accord-
tog to the moat recent accounts, the 9th of Oztober was another day
of disgrace and Oita., r to the harbariant.
. .

As SOOn as the Porte wu informed of what h.,' panel, it tried to
dispel the alamis of the people by displaying 4:ong the cosst 'boot
'2ll vessels. which bad been long since at anchor at Gallipoli,
which it attempted to pass otr tot prices taken from the Greeks ;
but nobody was deceived by an plain an attempt at deceirion. The
return of the Admiral, acioomanied he only one frigate, wan suf.
ficient evidence of the real state of gill'airs. Nothing certain was
known on the 211th ()ember, respecting the personal note of the
Capitan Pacha Il i 11l self. A titivate letter says that he has been be-
headed in the second court of the Seraglio, in th.• Sultans presence.

The accounts from the armies are equally fatal. It is uflinned
that' Derviseh Paella, whose corps was annihilated at the passage
of 'rherniopylie, is himself among the slain. As for Omer Triune,
after his defeat at Arta, he WAS pursued by the Greeks as far as the
Eire It'd's.

On the sth of this month there set out foam this capital for

According to the arrangements made by our Government. the

ders to march here; and lasily, of the regiment of cavalry of .I.lman.

Another Meeting of the Catholic Association was held in Dublin
no Wednesday. The eollectiota of rent for the previous week
anointed to to d. 4.. 74.1. principal discussion of the day
was nil a proposition respecting the salary of Mr. Eiteas :11.1hsn.
sell. th- Agrl•l of the Association in loindim. Mr. Eneas
M'lbutiolf himself had written a letter to the Association, in an-
swer to one of the Secretary's, with respect to the terms on which
he would it nticriake the 11.1001 thrown mein him of watching the
puldie press aid both Must, of Parliament, and conducting •
multitude of other biettl•01111 of the *Mee nature. lie obsers,,l, that
mote of bin friends had suggested 750/., ;MIL. snit fi.Vll., hut that
b.r his own part he would think soot. a ye..r sufficient. The mo.
iteration of :Mr. M`Dontiell scents to have Leen by no means justly
appreciated, for it was recommended by the Finance Committee of
the Asviciation, that :SW a year only should be allowed, and the
consideration of the %object was finally adjourned tbr a week, but
not nil n discussion hail taken Tame.
Mr. O'lt 'ALLY said, he would shrink from entrusting the
Agency of the Association to any man. lie did not think they
wanted an Agent in London, mid if they did there were many
gentlemen who +could cheerfully perform that duty without rem-
otralion. Mr. APDonnell married a Protestant wife, and there.

the Mei. ~)
Csiainuax said, that it wu not right to say any thing
alsoia anj matt's wife whatever.
Mr. O'REILLY salt he wanted to propose an amendment. He
asserted that Mi. .11•Donsiell had his child baptised by the Pro-
testant Minister of St. Ilellfge./ pariah. (Mitch disapprobation.)
Ile came fora stil as Mr. M•lbantell'a accuser. He went to St.

of St. Oiiiree's church, arid would hand ill a copy of the entry of
the cyrtifieste. Missing.) Ile would more as an amendment,
that the um...iteration attic appointment mid raom.cration of Mr.
i.ness M•Dminell, as agent to the Catholic Association, should be
adjituttied sine dir.
Mr. Kin watt inquired of Mr. O'Reilly, if it was a male or fe-
male child of Mr. M'lbunseirs which was baptised at St. Georges
church ?

r. tl•R[lt.t.r said it was a female.
Mr. Kistwsx said that nothing was nmee common In families
than to have the male children educated as (tatludica, and the fe-
male as Protestants, where the father was a (•atholic and the mo-
ther a Protestant. Mr. llPponnell had married a Protestant lady.
and therefore it was not strange that he should have • child reared
in the religion of Its mother. The amendment of the gentleman
was evidence of that fanatical spirit which should nut prevail in the
owns of the I 'at hol ie A suiciation. II ear. ) . _ _

After Pone further and elarnorousliillCllllllloll, the question of ad.
journno nt for a week was carried unanimously.
Mr. I l'Cux ?I r r. stated, that he had an Orange document to
submit to the turtling, which lie should take leave to read. It wm
p d, and bore the original signature, and a seal, bearing the
tot;irt,,iiio of King William's head. It pmreased to be an account
of the Wt.-early stiertitig of the New Orange Asaneiation, held wo
the Ist of Novroilwr, 1821, at the $o al hotel, College-green.
The reading of wlttle loots or this document excited great laugh-
ter. The following are estracts:—

•' As several documents 'elating to this Institivion have found
their arty into that ho•bed of sedition, the Catholic Auociation, it
is resolved That the greatest precaution be used to prevent the re.
eurrrnre rat such a circumstance."

Mr. IeCtiNNELL gave titmice of a motion for a petition to Par.
'lament, grormiled on that doctrinent. which, he said, contained a
threat of int, Hering, to the eaten' of blood and massacre, in the
election of a Mender of Parliament. The document was nut equi.

TILE .015111.1 N P.LOYEMENT.
We (the WafrrArd Otroxwk)ltave been politely favoured with
the following sequel of this curious ranalice :
" A short time after the arrival cf the Dublin mail-teach in this
city, tie Sunday, the 11th instant, Henry Aleork, Esq. a Illegal.
trate for this county, having seen in the I'oerespowlent newspaper
all account of the elopement of Mrs. 'Wields with Mr. John Joshua
Pim, of the city of 'Milan, and that that gentleman had defrauded
persona in Dublin of large sums of money, and that he also de-
frauded the Bank of Ireland to the amount (as the Cerrespondent
states) of 7001., the above-named Magistrate immediately sent a
Buccal messenger to sergeant Kelly and the police at 'Meissner
East, ordering them to arrest Mr. Pim, and bring him forthwith
before aim, as Mr. Alenek u as aware that Mr. Pim had gone then
after I;e was discharged on Saturday, in the hope of getting off to
England in one of the packets, but fortunately no packet had are
rived, and there being none at this aide of the I 'Simnel, Mr. Pim,
of ei,llfrie, could not proceed ; In consequence thereof, fearing Isis
being again arrested, he hired a jaunting-car at Dunmore on Sun-
day morning, and proceeded from thence on his way to Cork, to
embark there if possible. Sergeant Kelly, on getting Mr. Al.
cock's letter, loot no time in communicating with Ale. Ilely, Chief
of Police, rationed at TranlOre, who tame, accompanied by Kelly,
to' Waterford, to have an interview with Mr. Alenek on the sub.
jeet. Mr. Alcoa, deeming the arrest of Mr. Pim a matter of
serious consequence to the public, immediately ova the Chief Con-
stable coming to him, issued his warrant fie Mr. Pint's arrest,'
charging him with suspicion of having defrauded several per-
sons of large sums of money, and also a suspicion of defraud-
ing the Dank of Ireland of seven hundred pounds, and re-
quiring hint to be brought before him for (unites. examination.
With this warrant Mr. Ilely, the Chief Constable, with Sergeant
Keil,, left this city, at a quarter before ten o'clock on Sunday
night, on their way to I/ling/mean, where Mr. Aleock had every
reason (from information lie had received) to think Mr. Pim would
sleep on that night, with directions to proceed after hint to Cork,
stould lie not be moue top with at Ilungarvan. About four hones
after the (:hie( Conatahlr's departure troll; the city, Mr. Deane
arrived in it from and waited on Mr. Aleock, and informed
him that he had been difrauded by Mr. Pint of 30Of. and that
Mr. Pint was supposed to lii.ve with him property to a vast amount,
of which he defrauded several melons in Dublin, and that he was
on his way to Dunmore in pursuit of him ; but on Mr. Airsick in-
forming hint of the steps he had taken, and that he had every
reason to think thar slr. Pim would be arrested, and in Water-
ford in a few hours, he desisted from the pursuit. Mr. Aleock
has written to the Dank of Ireland, and to the head I lttfice of
Pollee in 'Dublin, concerning this most important stair. The
('hie( Constable arrived in this city, with Mr. l'im in his cus-
tody, at live o'clock yesterday, having arrested him at hunger.
van; anti having brought hint before Mr. Alcock lie was, after a
shot; examination, remanded for further examination this day, at
one o'clock."

The 11141.1 in Jour oral of Wedne.day says, that the answer sent
to Waterioril by the of llublin is, that their transactions snh
Mr. l'im are merely mereantile, he having given bills for the
money advaneed to him. There ran be, therefore, nothing to war-
rant a charge against him nit that ■core.

your scientific tnll-777 II di doubtless feel anxious to

▪ It appears that hitherto the engineers have erred considerably in
vainly attempting to move a hainnotive carriage with the name
celerity up the steepest tulle which would be used along level
ermine'. Thin error air. Blown has, as far as I can understand,
ingeniously avoided. Ile applies two sets of wheels to the axle on
which his carriage wheels are alibied ; and thus, in an instant. is
enabled to increase the velocity at the exlw•nse of his power ; or,
when ascending a hill, to lessen his speed in the same proportion
■nd increase his power, by which means he will more slowly up
the hill, but with certainty ; while his yeleveny on a level road may
be four or six tunes greater than on an acclivity, and as the weight
of Mr. Brown's engine ran never be an obstacle, the hills may thus
be slinely aseended, as well as the level roads swiftly traversed.
The propelling power may, I believe, be applied either to the fore
or the hind wheels, and of course the vehicle can be steered either
in front or behind, according to circumstances.

belts, by which contrivance any shaking or casual jerk cannot 11911.

The Committee appointed by the Creditors of the above
Arm, at the Freemasons"Favern, the 12th inst. met, accord-
ing to appointment, on Friday last, to take into considera-
tion the best possible mans of prosecuting the new Com-
mission, and to receive the report of the Sub-Committee,
who had been deputed to wait upon a number cf gentlemen
selected by the Committee as proper persons to be proposed,
at the Crnerai Meeting of Creditors, for Assignees. It
was considered nca•l-sary, from the courtly on and intricacy
of the bankrupts' books, that not less than live Assignees
should be appointed.

The three Gentlemen who compoved the Sub-Com-
mittee, reported that they had Called at the batik in
likrnera-street, and that in consequence of their inquiries
they discovered that the stun of &Mad. hail been drawn
out by the daughter of Mr. Marsh, on the I Ith September;
and that another stun (t,l $ll. lon.) had, on the same day,
been drawn out by Mr. Stracey, in behalf of his father;
and the asa:gnees, in constqiienee, hail written to request
the said sums of money to he returned, and they expected
to recover the same for the benefit ef the creditors ; so
that this pod, if nothing els., has residual from the exer-
tions of the Committee. Another extraordinary discovery
was made, via. that bills to the amount of Vii,ooo/. were
placed in the hands of one Win. (garcon, for the purpose
of Cicala discounted, and to he paid into the house of Stone
and Martin. It appeared that Mr. Stoical had bin made
acquainted with this arrangement ; but 101 till! I ith
