Cortivrewrixorst, JAN. itt
The nomination of Gelib Effendi has caused a most agreeable
sensation amongst the public. Favourable expectations trete
formed of hint when the command of the camp of Bosphorus was
entrusted to him. It is supposed that the difficulties existing at
present with the powers of Europe will be shortly removed. The
Sultan has addressed an autograph letter to Clalib Effendi, in
which he recommends in a particular manner the affkirs of the
Mores to his attention. Great armaments are preparing, and the
Janissaries will take the field in the spring.

The same agitation still reigns in this city. Unless measures be
changed in the tiightful moments through which we are passing,
the Royalists will be the greatest sufferers.

Manaus, Jaw. 18.
The maritime preparations making In France are a great sub-
ject of discussion in the circles of the Serviles ; all that we have
been r.ble to collect on this head confirms the existence of a secret
treaty or arrangement between France and Spain, under the Influ-
ence of Russia, relative to the colonies; the basis is not known,
only that France has engaged to assist Spain by various indirect
means in its wasps *Nemo its colonies, and that Ferdinand
has promised special protection to the French anseine and com-
merce, as well at the Havannah as at St. Juan d'Ullon, Lao, dm:
and that it is highly probable that French ships of war have al.
'ready appeared in those ports, with deputies from Ferdinand.
When it is objected to the Servile, that England will oppose
these projects on the Colonies, they reply, that France will find
means to avoid coming into collision with that power, and will in.
sensibly insinuate themselves into those vast possessions, rendering
an important service to Spain, and, in return deriving advantage
front their commerce. It is even affirmed that a part of the
French squadron, which sailed ostensibly foe Guadeloupe, is
destined fur the Gulf of Mexico. and the other parts of Lima,
when its bare presence will encourage the Royalists, as the cordon
of health did these on the Peninsula. But -setting aide the ac-
curacy of all these conjectures, it is certain that hopes are conceived
that the Royal cause will not lose ground in the Colonies. If any
one hints at the opposhion of England to the operations of the
French in America, he is answered by, being told of the Holy
Alliance, and of the Continental blockade, which is the scare-
crow held up by the enemies of Great Britain."
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 28.
Very alarming news for the Government is in circulation here.
It is, in the first place, affirmed, that the Greeks have re-con.,
tared the Isle of Scio, and that they strongly mono the town of
:myrna. On the other hand. it is certain that the Turks hays
been forced to raise the blockade of Miasolonghi, and that they are
a: the last extremity in Patna.
This intelligence has produced such a sensation in the Divan,
that the Ministry has fallen. The Reis Effendi is succeeded by
Ss b Wendt.

P.S. The Grand Vizier is exiled to Gallipoli, and he Is succeeded
by Galib Effendi. In • word. it Is the moderate European party
which is now in office.—Auvinsts Gazette.
PETEISIEROH, JAN. 8.
According to the latest intelligence from the frontiers of Turkey,
it would appear that a new rupture between the Porte and Persia is
dreaded. It is affirmed that, during the negotiations for peace, a
Turkish corps suddenly attacked Bagdad, and put the Persian
garrison to the sword. Mutts, JAN. 29.
We yesterday received German Journals by an extraordinary
conveyance. The Greeks have taken possession of the village of
Youth by a coup de main, and seized seven Turkish boats, which
they sent to !pears- The insurgents landed and made prisoners of
a great number of Turks.
A portion of the garrison of Corinth made a descent at Apeman&
The Greeks occupied Corinth with a corps of Mt men without any
fighting.
The central Government of Greece is transferred to Arge.

fore that fortress 3,000 men, with all their artillery and materiel.
Mao rooordato ( who had arrived there, accompanied by lord Byron,
Colonel Stanhope, and Lieut.-Colonel de Launsy) had cot two
Turkish ships out of the Guiph of Patras, one of which belonged
to Juesuf niche., the Commandant of Patras, and had on board

Omar Puha has retired to Janina; but it is said that he is blocked
up there in a house by his own troops, because they have not received
their pay.
AU foreigner+ are requested to assemble at Mieeolonghi, under
the command of Lord 'Syron.
The total change in the Ottoman Ministry, which we announced
yesterday, is confirmed by accounts from (ride the follow.
mg intelligence dated from thence):--
ODESSA, JAN. 3.
. . . _ .

We have received news of the most wain front Con-
stantinople, dated the 31st of Den nhem 1 exaserdinery meet-
ingof the Divan, which had been waked hi magnates of the
crisis in which the Empire is, has Nominated in a total change of
the Ottoman Ministry.
What is most remarkable in this resolution de Coors ia, ineon-
testibly, the dismissal of the Reis Effendi, the best informed and
most able diplomatist that Turk has had fora long period. He
had survived several Ministerial gangs; but on this occasion he
has been compelled to rale his office to olatlik Effendi. Ile cannot,
however, be considered as decidedl in diarace, since he is nomi-
nated Saps-bey, or Minister of the lotertor. The Grand Vizier,
Ali Paella, has not been so fortunate; he is banished to Gallipoli,
where he will soon know his fate; his exile thither but too cer-
tainly indicates that which is destined for him.
The present Vizier is Galib Effendi, who is well known in
Europe, having been ambassador at Paris. He is considered a
moderate man. Ilia first measure, nevertheless, his been to decree
a levy of 80,000 men, which he destines for the Mores. The Aga
of the Janissaries succeeds Golib Effendi, in the command of the
camp of the Bosphorus. Europeans, on the whole, regarded theme
changes as favourable to the moderate party.
The Isle of Scio has again becohat the theatre of sanguinary
scenes. The Greeks have effected a leading there, and forced the
Turks to take refuge in the Castle.
P.S.—lt appears that the revolution which has just taken place
in the Turkish 3linistry was mainly mused by the daring enter-
prise of the Greeks against the city of Smyrna, and against which
they had already made the first attack, with some success. The
dismay which this news excited in Constantinople is indescribable.
The Sultan was in a high rage. It has been resolved by the Divan
that all the disposable troops shall forthwith proceed by land to
Smyrna.-Amgebarg Gazette.
