The Austrian Observer of this date contains the following

" When the Councillor of State, 31inzincky, received certain
information of the total evacuation of 31oldavia, he declared his
inaction of assuming his character of Chargé d'Affaires of Rua.
sia. In consequence, the Reis Effendi invited hint to a conference

" Other nominations in Epirus and Albania give reason to hope
a better order of things in those countries.
" The following details of the operations of the Egyptian fleet
may be considered as authentic:—
`• This fleet ssiletl, in fact, from Roudroun on the Bth Novem-
ber, and appeared on the 10th in the ('andian Sea, where a Greek
fleet of forty sail was waiting for it. An attack by tire-ships took
place the same day, but without auecess. On the Ith the two
fleets were in sight of each nthtr, but the variable winds did not
permit them to manoeuvre.
"On the 13th, tour Greek vessels or fire-ships pursued, during
the whole day, an Egyptian frigate, which escaped, after having
had some saih burnt.
•• (In the 14th the tempest became so violent, that each rare'.,

lost five transports, commanded by Europeans, which fell into the
power of the Greeks.
" The Greeks had already taken, in the night of the 9th, a Spa-
nish vessel belonging to the Egyptian expedition.
" Twelve Egyptian vessels took refuge during the tempest in the

It is Armed that orders have been despatched to Ibrahim

a landing in the purer.
" The plague, notwithstanding the winter season, continues its
ravages in different quarters of Constantinople. The whole Per-
sian Legation has been carried off."

IIISSOLONOIII. Drat. lE
The Central Government established at Napoli di Rumania has
celebrated by solemn festivities the viehry gained by the Greek
fleet in the roads of Cunha, upon the 12th and 13th of the lot
month. The people took the most lively interest in these public
rejoicintr. The same enthusiasm has, it seems, manifested itself
throughout the entire Mores. Many of the vessels captured are
already in the port of Romania. They have on board as prisoners
sonic of the Arabians belonging to the corps which 31eheniet Ali,
with rather too much pomp, distinguished by the title of regular
troops of Egypt. These unfortunate children of the Desert have a
most miserable appearance. The Greeks have also made them.
selves masters of the Scampavie, a terrier belonging to Ibruhira
Pacha, manned by Cassiotex and Turks. It la known for certain
that the Egyptian Chief has declined all further operations during
the ~inter, and that he endeavours, with the wreck of his fleet,
to gain the port of Alexandria. The Greek Admiral 3liaulis has
detached a division of his squadron to chase the fugitives, and
capture the vessels dispersed by the late combats. The Admiral
himself has sailed with the remainder of the fleet for Hydra,
where he must have arrived before this.

Conduriotti. perfectly recovered from his indisposition, has ar-
rived at Napoli di Romania, with a numerous corps of troops levied
in the isles of the Archipelago, and through the continent of
Greece. It Is now more necessary than ever that the Government
should ercircle itself with faithful troops, for the purpose of oppos-
ing the machinations of Colneotroni and his partisans. The last
elections have not met with general approbation, and sonic discon-
tent upon this subject has been manifested in many of the pro-
vinces.

MADRID, JAW. S.
We are upon the eve of a crisis i the struggle between M. Zea
Bermudez end his rivals, canr.ot last much longer each party de-
clares itself with more violence on each successive day, and the
time of the drnoxement is not far distant. Al. Zea, who affects a
great super'ority over the other Ministers, and who proceeds with
firmness towards his object, depends for support upon the conti-
nental system of policy—the others rely upon the fans:its of all
descriptions, especially of the cler47.
The Government has just received despatches from the Cont.
rnanders of thti Royalist armies in Peru. We know nothing of
their contents, but we Imre heard from well-informed persons that
these despatches, so far front being satisfactory, consider the Royal
cause as lost in these countries. As to the rest, the silence of the
Uoverntnent proves that the contents are sufEciently tdaastrous.
PARIS, JAN. 16.
The report is this day spread that the King of Spain, yielding at
length to the system established on the Continent, has consented to
from a Ministry, at the bead of which aril be piney(' M. Zr,. de
Bermudez we may then expect a more wise and moderate
system of Government. We !liar from .pain that some crisis is
newt.

The .14ononal Borth,Fah also announces, that the activity which
for the last few days is exhibited at the Telegraph of Bayonne,
',roves Madrid to be at this moment the theatre of some important-
event. If the change allutkci to has taken place in the Spanish
Ministry. we may presume that the resolution of the English Ca-
binet respecting South America has had no iiconsidcrable share in
causing the ev.:nt.

The Gazette of this day contains a decree of the King, which
perninsa re•exportation, during three months, of those books which
have been printed out of Spain. The books printed in Spanish out
if Spain, and all those which have been printed in Spain since the
7th of March, 11120, no matter in what language, are not allowed
to be taken out of the kingdom, if they contain principles hostile
to religion, to the sovereignty of the King, or to public morals.
Those books which, under these circtimstinces, cannot be exported,
are liable to the disposition of the existing laws. This decree has
been made in consequence of the application of M. Petrie, the
French Librarian, who wished to remove a part of his property to
France.

chants of Pctersburgh have arranged temporary residences close to
the Exchange. for the purpose of accommodating the unfortunates

all necessary assistance.
PARTS, JAN. 16.
It is known that the Bishop of Chartres has removed a re-
spectable Curate, and has laid him under an interdict, because the
latter, supposing that his rights and the regulations of the church
were violated by this arbitrary act, protested against his deprivatirm.
We rsy this transaction is well known, for it has made a much
ga,ster noise than the authority committing the abuse wouli have
wished. Oppression in general disgusts us, but it is peculiarly
loathsome when it seeks as ha victim an old and respectable pastor,
and when it is exercised by a Bishop who ought to exert his credit
end his utthority for the protection and maintenance of the rights
of his colleagues in the second order in the sacred ministry.
The deprived Curate, M. Charles, one of the most fearless con-
fessors of the faith in the reign of terror and impiety, has not been
beaten down by this new species of persecution which has been
rai.ed against him. He has protested forcibly against the injustice
and irregularity of the Episcopal sentence which has deprived
him. lie protests again to.day, in a memoir addressed to his Ex-
cellency the Bishop of Hermopolis, Minister of Ecclesiastical
Affairs.

Sir Charles Edward they, one of the Judges of Madras,
has been appointed Chief Justice of Bengal, in the room
of the late Sir Christopher Puller ; and Mr. It. Comyn
takes the seat on the Madras Bench, vacant by the ad-
vancement of Sir C. E. Grey.
Major-General Sir Colquhoun Grant is still confined to
his bed, from the effects of his late very serious aceident.
All apprehensions, however, for his ultimate recovery are
happily removed, and his medical attendants look forward
with confidence to his speedy convalescence.
On Monday Dr. Cameron finished his interesting and
eloquent Lectures on Phrenology, at Liverpool, by a de-
monstration of the anatomy of the brain.
It isuot true (as reported) that Lord James Stuart in-1
tends offering him4lf as a candidate foe Ayr, and the
Western Boroughs, in opposition to Mr. Kennedy.
A sharp contest for the representation of the Borough of
Honiton, at the next General Election, is anticipated. The
Borough was canvassed last week by Mr. Mules, Captain
I Besleigh, and Mr. Lewis Gidley, for two candidates ; and
also ny Messrs. Cox, Abcrdein, and others (the opposite
tarty) for the third man.
Amongst sundry charities within the West, brought to
lieht by the Commissioners, are, one in the pariah of
Whitelinrch, adjoining the Moor, founded by Mr. Set-
geant Pengelly; and another at Brentor, also adjacent,
founded by Mr. Scrgeantplativille—both tor the purpose of
elucating the poor.
A " Same: C'ounty Hospital, and Gancral Sea-Bathing
Infirmary," is about to be established at Brighton. A

tenant of the county), for 2,0001. The Earl of Chichester
gives 6001., Lord G. H. Cavendish SOW., and T. R.
Kemp, Eui 1,0001.
The fire in Mewl Pickering and Co.'s colliery at Flint
