iejolicions proceedings of his friends, who have

of suspicion to his people, that his people might
se rendered objects of hatred and hostility with him.
The latest accounts fmos Constantinople are
those of the 17th of December, at which time that
coy was tranquil. The Persian army has checked
as march of invasion, and no further apprehensions
re entertained at Constantinople upon that subject.
The charge of perfidy and unwonted cruelty against
the Greeks for their conduct at the capture of
Tripoliszsisis effectually disproved by intelligence
f•o'u Vienna, where certainly the coupe of Grecian
i,eitoto finds but few friends. The town of Tripo.
1.-ti was taken by storm, and every one must be
,sire that in such an event the conduct of con.
querors, no matter of what nation, whether civilized
or barbarous, has never been deemed a legitimate
subject for critical investigation. No faith was
pledged to the Turks in this instance, and the
Greek soldiery, abandoned as they must be on
such au occasion to the indulgence of their
ictlividnal passion., might be excused, if in
the excitement and enthusiasm of victory they re-
taliated upon their hated oppressors the crimes
which they had themselves hero taught to suffer.
The domestic news in the Paris Papers is not
important. The Chc►lnber of Deputies held a
public sitting on the 16th, for the purpose of re-
ceiving a Report from the Committee of Petitions.
The subjects of these petitions are of little interest
with us, for they refer for the most part to matters
of individual concern. Among those of a public
nature are Petitions to the Chamber recornmendiog
the preservation of the forests of France, and the
abrogation of a law of the Republic, enacted 10th
Vendemiaire, year IV. which rendered the Com-
munes responsible for all crimes committed within
them by open force. The Committee proposed
that the Chamber should puss to the Order of the
Day. A debate arose on this motion, and it was
successively moved, as an amendment, that the
petition ►hould be referred to the Council of the
Ministers, or to the Mini►ter of Justice. The pro-
position of the Order of the Day was rejected.
The reference to the Council of Ministers shared
the same fate, being rejected by • majority formed
of the right end right centre. The reference to the
Minister of Justice was filially adopted—four or
fire Members only, of the extreme left, having
voted against it.
It was finally determined that the debate upon
the project of law fur controlling the offences of
the press should commence on Saturday last. A
report was to ,be made on the same day from the
Committjpe of Petitions, some of which it was
understood had reference to the island of St. Do-
mingo. The Coma de LeAumoor proposes that the
Government should consider about the means of
regaining possession of that colony : while, on
She other hand, M. CIVIQUit DE GASTIIIII recom-
mends that • treaty of commerce should be mode
with the Government of Hayti. These Petitions
will probaby give rise to some interesting discussion.
