Every preparation had been made here to eelebrite a funeral
service for the late King of "ranee, and to implore the protection
of Dieiee Providence on the of Charley N. The French
Consul had caused the Catholic Church to he fitted up for the
orca-
shin, and the first service was fixed for the 18th. But in the after-
roan of the preceding day, a bile the bells were already tolling, a
report was spread that the plague had been for some days in aevernl
houses in the interior et the city. It reruns that the unfortunate
moons who were suspected of being attacked with it were carried
out of the city by night, and throats into the fields., a league or
two from the city, and left with a loaf of the value of 4 parrus
The Consul: of France and Austria have placed their hotels
the footing of a strict hanareto, and no person can speak to them,
or to the persons locked up under their key, but through two bar-
riers. The Government has forbidden the shopkeepers to °pc,
their doors ; they arc rot to suffer the purchasers to touch goods,
but only to thew them to then through a wicket, and to dip in
vinegar the money which they receive. The markets, as well as
the khans or inns, are also shut.
The great frosts will check this scourge; but it is feared that it
may a:pear again in all its malignity in the spring.

The Aristaegta, on the credit of a private letter, announces that
the Commander-in-Chief of the French troops in Spain has con-
ssntcd to suspend, for 20 days, the retreat of the French army t
this delay !having been judged necessary to wait for the answer to
an autograph letter, addressc4 to the King of France by the King
of Spin.
M e believe that the Arishaptc has been ill-informed. The
evacuation will commence, not conditionally, but positively, on the
art December: This tneasure is the result of a convention made,
as we have said, in concert between France and Spain, anti not a
measure of recrimination or hostility, as some Journals have pre-
tended.

Letters from Smyrna, of October 18. say, that the Eryptian fleet
is dispersed in all directions, and that several vessels belonging to
It have already been captured by the Greeks.

Our letters from Italy infnrrn as that great changes have taken
Place among the higher authorities at the Court of Home. St's ate
assured the Cardinal secretary of State, and many other Cardinals
who filled the first public offices, have given in their resignation.
The Cardinal Spina, the Legate at Bologna, is generally pointed
out as the new Secretary of State. It appears that many new Le-
gates have also been named.
The Arr.trican squadron, which have remained until the present
time in the roads of l'alermo. have quit.ea it. 'l'hreeships of war,
which tonnes, a portion of this squadron, proceed directly to New
York. They will be replaced by others.
There is a report that an American agent has arrived at Livonia.
who is about to proceed to Napoli di Romania with a mission thr
the Central Cheek Government.

It is said that a very good feeling exists between the English and
the Greeks, and the latter have been supplied by the forma with a
qmostity of ammunition and some cannon.
