FRENCH PAPERS.

LFrom the Mtnle. dated Friday, Nov. 11.]
111ADRID, OCT. 27.
It is remarked that our Olicial Gantt*, which always publishes
decrees verbatim, contents melt' with giving the substance of the
two which were issued—the one relating to the dismissal of the Ex-
Minister, and the other to the recommendation of a new one.
Further, the decrees for the dismissal of M. 'Lea, and the appoint-
ment of his successor, were determined upon on the 24th, at ten
o clock in the forenoon, and were not executed till seven in the
evening of that day. At eight o'clock M. 'Lea was received by the
King, who, in fact, receival him with the greatest kindness ; after..
wards, he was received at the houses of all the Princes and Prin-
cesses; after which, having transmitted his portfolio to M. the
Duke del Infantado, he took, at ten in the evening the road to
Madrid, where his presence was not generally known till the 26th,
and where he lives very victly, without, up to this time, any
measure of exile or of banishment from the Court heir,: adopted
against him, like those which were resorted to against his predeces-
sors since the restoration.

The Marquis de Zembrano, Minister of War, who foresaw the
fall or Zea, and who, no doubt, expected his own, as before, would
be the inevitable consequence of it, wished to anticipate his dis-
missal by giving in his resignation on the 22d ; but at present this
step on his part has produced no result.
The first act of the administration of the Duke del Infantado,
was to invite to the Zscurial the hli•risters of Finance, of War,
and of the Marine, who were in Madrid, and who met him on the
evening of the 25th ; in consequence, on the 26th, his Excell.nry
the Canon Roses, Councillor of State, who was exiled by M. Zest,
and other persons, were recalled, who were in the same predicament
as Boras, having been likewise exiled by the Minister of Grace
and Justice, Calomarde.

Ocropra 29.

As soon as the news of the dismissal of M. Zea Bermudez was
received, it was thought that all the Ministry was about to be
changed. Up to this time, we have not learned that any other
change took place, but a list of new Ministers continues to be cir-
culated, with a new Superintendent of Police. They name, for the
War Department, General Carvnjai ; for Justice, Don Francisco,
Marin, or Don Garcia de Is Torre: for Finances, the Ex. M 'Rioter
Eno; and they give the Police to M. Sobrado. It appears that
the dismissal of M. Zea has not been in any way causal by the In-
fluence of a Etncign Ambassador.

The most recent news from Presburg relative to the health of
his ,Majesty the Emperor of Austria, is perfectly satisfactory.
Othe eighth day of the Monarch's indisposition the fever had
entirely ceased, and his Majesty found himself in a state of con.
v escence.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

FRANKrowr, Nor. 9..

In a pamphlet which Is circulated here it Is affirmed, that at the
time of the definitive partition of Germany, after the fall at Napo-
leon, only the interests of two great Powers were consulted; the
wishes of the Princes of the second and third orders were listened to
only from prudence, because it was not possible entirely to over-
look these Governments, which possessed 150,000 excellent troops.
It seems now that these considerations have lost all their force ; and
it has been remarked, for some time, that certain towns would wish
to belong to a different Prince from him to whose share they have
fallen. It is observed, on the other hand, that certain Princes now
regret that they did not make a better choice at the time when the
treaties of Vienna and Paris were concluded ; a plan is even spoken
of, tending to prepare people's mind for exchanges of territory.
for the fashion of partitions is past. For instance, a report Is spread
that the custom-houses 'Arad) country in Germany are badly placed
and ruin trade, because the States are too straggling, or too maid' di-
vided. I: is said, also, that the provinces situated on the left bank
of the Rhine will never prosper with their five or six different Ta-
riff, of Customs. It is added that the duties of customs in the
Rhenish provinces of Prussia chiefly render it desirable that the
ancient communications should be renewed between the countries
that have been divided. It results from all these reports, that it Is
now believed in the Rhenish provinces of Bavaria, that there is a
project to exchange that province for another, and that in this case
ifs future Sovereign would be the King. of Pr assia.
The Central Committee for the Navtgation of the Rhine. sitting
at Maynce, has collie to a resolution which seems to promise a re-
moval of all the difficulties itt the Interpretation of Art. t), of the
Treaty of Paris.
A union of men of letters, said to be placed tinder eery powerful
influence, excites at present general attention in Germany. The
object of the association appears to be gradually to prepare people"'
minds with those Theocratic ideas which disturb at this present
moment the western part of Europe.

MUSSELS, Nov. 9.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of Orange has presented to the
City of Brussels, for its Cabinetof Natural History, a splendid ml.
lection of specimens of Russian Minerals, estimated by connots-
sieurs at 60.003 rubles. The Municipal Council has voted an ad.
dress of thanks to her Royal flightless, and resolved that this col.
lection shall be placed in a particular apartment in the Museum of
Natural History, in which be placed the bust of the august
Princess.

THE GREEK ►►AR.

ALESAVDRIA. SEPT. 3.

As soon an the fleets of the Capitan Pacha and Alahomet Ali
are sufficiently stored with provisions. they will take the troops on
board, which are estimated at 12,000, ibfantry anti cavalry. A
Mameluke, who distinguished himself in the French service, will,
it is said, command them. General Livron has arrived ; he
brought cannon, &c. ordered by the Viceroy. It is said that he
will be soon followed by several officers of artillery and engineers.
CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 10.
The most melancholy accounts have been received here from
Smyrna respecting the fire whioh raged there on the 19th and 20th,
for twenty-tan hours. They are very different from those In the
Oriental Spectator, and it seems hardly doubtful that the fire was
the work of incendiaries, with the view of plundering during the
confusion. We are still in the same uncertainty respecting the
operations of Ibrahim Paths. People begin, however, to bell se
that the campaign has not decided the question, and has not led to
any positive results. It is even reported that Ibrahim Paella in_
fends to embark at Patras, and go fine some months to Egypt, and
to return to the mlorea in the Spring. This news, however, ap-
pears to need confirmation. There is no truth in the late report,:
of the arrival of the Turkish and Egyptian fleets on the coast of
Candia ; they were still at Alexandria on the 29th September.
Baron Otter, Fels, the Austrian Internuncio, and Gcncral Ouffle-
minot, the French Ambassador, have lately had frequent confer-
ences with the Reis Effendi. The policy of France appears to be
decidedly against tl.e Greeks, and the conduct of the French agents
all
time
the Levant undoubtedly confirms this opinion. Mean-
time the two Ambassadors have by their effort!' oLtaineil a new
order from the Porte, by which every thing in the Principalities of
11101davia and Wallachia is to be restored to the former stem quo,
the Beschli Ages to cease their functions, and the kit Turkish
troops to be withdrawn. The order to this effect was made out on
the 4th, and it is believed that a Russian Ambassador will soon ar-
rive here in due form.—Allgeorcine Zeitung, Nov. 6.

A new Loan, it is reported, is raised in the United
States, for the purpose of paying off that part of the old
debt which bears an interest of 6 per cent. The Loan in
agitation is at 4i per cent. The American Government in
this instance is following the great example set by Eng-
land. It is anticipated that in the year 1833 the whole of
the A merican national debt will be paid oft'.
Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Nov. 8, 1823:
" The commercial treaty with Ilayti is highly favourable
to France, but not the slightest doubt is entertained of its
being ratified. One of the conditions is said to be, that
the Ilaytians shall not, without the expressed consent of
France, trade with Martinique or Guadeloupe, so that no
dangerous intercourse may be kept up with the slave popu-
lation. It is stated here, in a high quarter, that the Pre-
sident of Hayti has again made an application to England
for the recognition of the independence of the Republic ;
offering, as the condition, to grant some commercial advan-
tage s to England, and not to trade direct with any of our l;
slave colonies. Boyer has given orders for the construction
of several steam-boats here and in England."
The Madrid Papers have for some time past been filled
with passages from some of the most remarkable pastoral
letters recently addressed by the several Bishops in Spain
to their Diocesans, inculcating the doctrines of passive ob.-
,
dience, in the present disturbed state of the public mind.
These pastoral letters, as well as every other paper ema-
nating from the Spanish Clergy, within the last two years,
render it evident that it is the decided opinion of the aggre-
grate body of the Priests, that all she late jocobinical and
disorganising schemes which followed the revolution against
the French, had their origin in the number of heretics,
freemasons, and sectaries who, during the war, trod the
Catholic land of Spain. They are farther convinced that
nothing can eradicate this evil, and prevent its recurrence,
; so effectually as the restoration of the Holy Inquisition.
Tit e VIN TAG e.—Letters from Oporto of the 23th Octo-
ber, received on Saturday, state that the general opinion of
the quality of wines of this last vintage improves very
much, and it is believed that there will be a considerable
'proportion of very excellent wine.
