The accounts from Zante, as well us all those
which have reached us, assert, in the most positive
uterine., that no European Power has taken in the
most isdireet manner soy part its the operations of
the Turkish •rmy. A strict scrupulous neutrality
has been ob•erved on all sides. The Tut ks hive, in

that, " According to news from Corfu, of the

the reduction of the fortress of Soli, and that a
grandson of Ali Paeha had been taken prisoner,"
arid this wes in fart the case. The Sophists had capi-

been at a distance. but with the Turkish Generals
left behind ; and the conclusion of this capitulation
was delayed merely because they desired to knife
their wholly ranted town, and to settle in the lonian
Islands. It was n y for this to negociate with
the English authorities at Corfu, and it was not till
this negnciation was terminated that the Turkish
flag could be hoisted on the walls, or rather the
ruins of Soli.

THE GALLIC4N CHURCH.

The Moniteur of Friday contains a Royal Ordi-
nance, sanctioning the publication of the Papal
Bull, issued at Nome on the 10th of October, rela-
tive to the circumscription of the French Bishop-
ricks and Archbishoprirks. The number of din.
ceses is 80, of which 14 are metropolitan, and 66
suffragan. According to Art. 3, " this Bull is receiv-
ed without approbation of its clauses, leservaiions,
forniulat, or expressions, which are, or may be, con-
trary to the constitutional charter, the laws of the
realm, or to the franchise., liberties, and maxims of
the Gallmmo Church." It is ordered to be trans.
crated in Latin and French in the regivers of the
Council of State. N. de Maces, who arrived a
few days ago at Paris from Rome, brought with him
this Bull as the fruit of his long negnciation with
the Holy See for the settlement of the Galilean
Church. His Holine.s way asixiou., it would
seems that the church of France should Inter the
benefit of 92
Bishops
and Archbishops to protect
its iteeresda or to extend its power. The French
Ministry thought that the finances could not
support more than eighty. This number op-
t/tared, morevrr, convenient, or it admitted of
nearly the same circumscription of dioceses ss of
departments. Among the 80 sees there are 14
Archbishoprics, and to compensate the want of the
additional 12, on which the Pope had Net his heart,
eight of the Aiclibishops are admitted iota the
of Peers. The Ministers will doe. have
