LONDON,
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1822.

We have received the Paris Papers up to Tuts•
dry lr►t ; they announce • greet victor► obtained
by the Pe►sian. over the T•tks. This intelligence
is confirmed by the arrival of a Hamburgh Mail
last night, with intelligence from Constantinople of
the 10th last, in which tl* slumber of Tu►ks killed
in the action and taken prisoners is estimated at
50,000. The following are extracts :

RITRACT OF ♦ 'ATM FROM CONSTANTINOPLE,

DATUM Barnum' 10.

" Since the last port front the Morea very bad
news for the Porte has bees received. It is cow-
firrued that the Mores Is again evacuated by the
Turks, and that their expedition has cost them
very dear. The accounts from the neighbourhood
of Trebisond are equally unfavourable. The Per-
sians have gained a great battle. and the number
of the Turks killed or taken prisoners is stated at
50,000. From all this it should seem that the
Porte has hardly ever been in a more critical
situation than at this moment. All the merrures
that are adopted indicate that the Imperial Trea-
sury is exhausted. A Firman has just been pub.
bated, which is directed against luxury, and orders
all gold and silver to be delivered to the treasurer.
Receipts are to be given Tor it, which looks like •
beginning df Turkish paper currency. Thus the
Sultan is obliged to introduce European innovs-
tions,'Which may place him in • very emb
situation if he should attempt to pay the Musselmers
iii paper. Some consider this embarrassment of the
Treasury as a consequence of the extermination of
the rich Greeks."

His Majesty the King has been rather indisposed
for some du's. A cold which he caught at the
opening of the Goths Canal, the lung journies
which his Majesty has made, and the mane of
business which he transacts without interruption,
notwithatendiug his t►avelling, are the cause of the
indisposition. His Majesty, after resting here a
day, finds himself already better, mud we are happy
to say that he is nearly recovered.

For these four weeks past many Greeks hive

condition, hiring been obliged to leave Russia by
order of the Russian Government.
As a proof of the good understanding between
the English Cabinet and ours, it is mentioned that
for some time past the direction of the negocistions
with the Turks has been wholly confided to Prince

We have received Bayoone Papers, which state
that a communication has been toscle, by the Mem.
bees of the Holy Alliance to the Spanish Govern-
ment, requiring a change in the Constitution de-
creed by the Cortes. This proposition, it is said,
was discussed in the sitting of the Council or
State at Madrid on the 29th last, in which it pro-
duced an animated debate. The result was not
known, but it was generally supposed that the pro-
position would be rejected. The Constitution of
Spain is founded upon a true bases, it has been
mitred by the purest hauds, and both Prince and
people have voluntarily sworn to maintain it. The
only persons in Spain opposed to the established
&der of things is a body of monks and First.,
with whose private interests and prejudices it is
incompatible. These men, associating with others
of desperate character of every description, have for
some time carried on a sort of guerilla warfare in
the north of Spain, where, from its contiguity with
France, they look for the support of congenial
sentiments, prejudices, arid passions. That sup-
port, we are sorry to 84y, they have received, for
without it they would have long since ceased to
disturb the tranquillity of their country. This is
the present state of Spain, and, with a few
exceptions, there is not a country in Europe the
internal state of which furnishes less pretence for
foreign interference.

A copy of the Manifesto addressed by the Prince
Regent of BRAZIL to friendly Governments and
Nations is given in another part of our Pape►, It
is an exposition of the present political state of that
country, and • justification of his own conduct in
asserting its independence. H the Prince be really
sincere in the principles which he professes, and be
really determined to pursue the course which he has
adopted, the people of Brazil will contend for intle-
peodence with great advantage. II is high birth and
station will save him from the intrigues and jea-
lousies of competitors, and the resentment of the
Mother Country cannot be so strongly excited as in
the case of a colony wrested from her posoestanti by
some upstart aspirant for power. The ardour of
expectation must, however, be restrained by the
reflection that the Prince cannot be regarded in
that remote position as a perfectly free agent, and
that the Duke of CALABRIA was not less loud and
resolved on the assertion of the rights of the people,
iu the absence of his father, the King of N•rt.xs,
at the Congress of Laybsch.

The spirit of outrage advances in Ireland with
alarming strides. The aid which it will rectire
from the long nights fills the mind with the most
gloomy apprehensions far the winter. The list of
crimes reported in the Dublin Papers of Monday
contain the murder of a farmer. and a desperate or.
tack upon the house of Mr. Foorr, of Springfort,
in the county of Cork.
All the means hitherto resorted to to alleviate the
distress of Ireland having failed, the public mind
is now turning to the repeal of the Union as the
sovereign remedy.

Letters received from Rio Janeiro of the 21st
August, mention that the inhabitants of that city
were waiting with great anxiety the result of the
expedition tent from thence for the reduction of
Bahia. As might be expected, business was com-
pletely at a stand, and there was no prospect of its
revival uutil matters had taken • decided turn.
SALT DUTIBIL—IIy the 11th section of the Act
of Parliament, passed last Session, for reducing the
duty on salt, it is enacted that the warehouses may
be pro►ided for the depositing of salt, upon the
payment of the reduced duty of 2s. per bushel,
between the 10th of October and the sth of Jainisty
next, et which last period the new law takes effect.
This provision is intended to prevent tiny slimier-
nience that might arise from the want of that neces-
sary article in the interval between the operation of
the old and new law, as dealers would naturally
dim h their stock as mach as possible previous to
the sth of January.
Two brigs foundered in the river number, off
Cleethorpes, on Tuesday last, in a tremendous
squall of wind, and we are sorry to Jkly that the
crews perished. A pilot boat was at some little
distance from them when the disaster happened,
but before it reached the spot there were no traces
of them left, except come trifling things that were
seen floating on the water. We have not been able
to ascertain the mimes of the vessels, or to what
places they were bound.
Plenty has, even here, become exceedingly lavish
with her favours. At our market on Saturday,

their giblets) as low as St. each ; and live
