FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER 20.

In the sitting of the Diet, of the 21 ot instant
(which was a confidential one), the `Maxon Minister,
Von Csrlowitz,who presided in the absence of Count
Iluol Schauerotein, laid before them a letter from
Prince Metternich, expressing the wish of the Im-
perial Court that the first formal sitting after the
prorogation resolved upon the 30th of July, may be
deferred till the 6th or 7th of December, by which
time the Austrian Minister, who is President, would
arrive from Vienna, with instructions relative to the
matters to he discussed by the Diet in the first sit-
ting.. It was accordingly resolved that the first
sitting shall be on the 7th of Decirober.—( Frank-
fort Papers, December 1.)

LEGHORN, NOVEMBER 10.

Several vessels arrived from Constantinople and
Malta, bring the news that the Turkish fleets con-
sisting in all of 103 sill, 35 of which were Greek
prizes, had entered the Dardanelles. Sixteen other
Greek prizes hail been lost in the voyage by a
violent north-wind:

VIENNA, NOVEMBER 43.

It is thought here that the invasion of the Per-
sisns into Tcrkey is of little importance, especially
as it is pretended that the Persian Prince, who en-
tered Armenia with a corps, hua undertaken this
enterprise against the will of his father, who is said
to have formerly declared this son disobedient and
an usurper.

NOVEMBER 21.

Letters from the Embassies at Constantinople.
of 47th October. bring the news that thy Divan
(in which some Deputies of the Janivssries now
sit) has lately resolved not to accede to the de-
mands of Russia, respecting the evacuation of
Moldavia and ‘Vallschia. the security of the km,-
cent Greeks, the repair of the Greek churches, &e.
Probably the Janissaries, who are bent after war ai d
plunder, have contributed to this resolution, which
it is to be hoped may still be changed.—(zillge-
