Mina's force being directed against Seto d'Urgel,
the accounts from Barcelona, Gerona, and Ftguri-
via, are not very interesting. The letters from the
first of these towns estimate the Constitutional
troops in Catalonia at 30,000. Great events appear
to be taking place on the side of Urgel.

• The Ministers of the great Powers in the late con-
ferences have been particularly ()remitted with the
rOnsideration of the differences existing between
Russia and the Ottoman Porte. Their delibera-
tion, on this subject cannot but have assumed a
more marked character of importance, ■s it to gene-
tally asset fed that acourier, di.patched from Vienna
by Baron Sturmer, his brought to Prince Metter-
important intelligence, that the Ottoman
Government lias resolved to maintain during the
winter all the Turkish troops on the war foutiog.
The Asiatics will not return home this year, and
considerable transports of artillery and ammunition
are dispatched to the corps cantoned both uu the
tanks of the Truth and on the Danube.
It is clear from these military dirposittoris, that
the Porte apprehends the decision of the Congress
Ellny, in accordance with the policy of the Cabinet

immediate rupture between the two empires.

The, Deputies of the Greek Provisional Govern-
ment are still in our neighbourhood. Th- decision
of the Ministers on the request of thrwiDeputtes to
lie admitted to the Congress is not yet known.

- The Journals of the 13th contain a Petition ad-
dressed by the late Ministers to the King on the sub-
ject of the process instituted against them. It is
In rile following terms:—
" PETITION OT THE LATE MINISTERS TO TIM RING.
" Being conscious of our innocence, and protected by the
gerusssees which are provided by the Commotion, we view
ssitimertbooasivieso or alarm the efforts that are made, at all
hazards, to implicate as in the celebrated process witch has
been iaaliialed SOiletrillOt the events of the month of last
July. We are responsible to the nation fm all our acts and
measures during the lime we remained in office, and like
every eltiara we are exposed to the rigour of the laws for any
crimes that we may have committed as individuals; we are
perfectly aware of the great importance ofWir sacred duties;
hat at tire same time wed,. not forret the rights and privileges
which are secured to us in either of the before-meutioned
characters by the fundamental law of the state.
"The Extraordinary Cartes have assembled, and have
been Invested with the most absolute *subway by your Ma-
smity's Goveranient. The zeal of many members has antici-
pated oar wishes, and it is already iletermiued that the chi.
•ernment shall make all our acts and official documeuts
rt-
laaire to the epoch before mentioned, or which may be in
-fay way espersected with the moat remarkable mewls of our
rriltaimairatioa, Hoe @objects of an investigation. We now,
therefore, can sew the period approach when a public and
sulemo inquiry will take place upon this important subject;
bets will be corrected, doubts removed, public opinion
fixed, and the slum of malevolence and calumny will be
'ailesced.
So great has been our confidence In the rectitude of our
conduct, and au fully were we persuaded tbat we had
for a single instant forgotten our duty to our country and
your Majesty, that even in the most critical moments we
have employed the frisk and severe language of truth, al-
ways consulting what we believed to be consistent with the
honour and the liberty of the nation. We are not so
foolishly presumptuous as to imagine that we have been
sorropt from error ; it may appear that in the difficult Cif.
micastances in whirls we were placed, we have committed
fieltalltut we are convinced our conduct will come out from
easmenatioo free from the slightest taint of criminality or
weakness.
" But whilst we awaited the impartial deliberation of the
Cartes, when we saw the course traced by the laws lying
open, arid expected to be tried by the Supreme Tribunal of
Jusitee provided by the laws to takecoguizauce of the crimes
tbat are alleged against us, we could with difficulty believe
that au incompetent authority, usurping powers chub it
ought not to possess, and uperly violating one of the funds-
ineirtal principles of ja lice, would dare to order us to be
placed under arrest ; mill thus, in our persons, inflict a
wound upon the Consibutio• and the Laws Yet Ibis has
happened : and if we had not, by means of coocealment,
winded so flatfoot au set of violence, we should now have
been security confined in dungeons, delivered over to an im-
proper jueisilirttera, prevented to a great measure from claim-
-1.4 toe protection to which every Spaniard is entitled, and
