General DAMS, who was lately appointed to
the chief military comMand of Andalusia, and who,
on account of his havtag received his commission
from the obooxiess Minister*, was very Ontsefenew
nionsly refused admittance into the cities of 'Cadiz
and Seville, has collected at Cowden an erased
force for the purpose of punishing the obstinate citi•
sena of Cadiz and Seville, sad of restoring the
Ktna's authority among them. It is a soft of
some interest that at the time of the latest edifices
from Cadiz the South American fleet, escorted by
• frigate, was within sight of that harbour, richly
freighted with dollars and merchandise. The ships
would, of course, sail into the harbour with their
usual confidence, and there they might certainly
be seised by the rebellious citizens, and their rich
cargoes, or at least such put of them as belonged
to the Governaaent, might be employed by the
rebels in resisting the authority of their Sovereign.

dad was wholly ussauthorised, and the act has been
formally disclaimed by " the Great Ktea." The
exploded story of the murder of the Sultan and his
son by the Janissaries on the 47th or 28th of No.
'ember is now succeeded by a fanciful tale of his
having fallen by his own hands ou the 9.h of De.
cember, having previously destroyed his children.
There is, however, authentic intelligence from Con-
stantinople of the gth of December, which is wholly
silent upon this subject. No mention is made of
the pretended acceptance of the Russian eltiaiatins
by the Divan, but there seems sufficient reason to
believe that so excited is the enthusiasm of the
Turbid] soldiery and populace, the Grand Seignor
would refuse to comply with the demands of Russia,
ergo though his own notions of policy might lead
him to approve of this pacific result. Should the
Divan eventually resolve to accept the whimaires,
it is probable that the decision will be kept secret
until more favourable circumstances may admit of
its being freely acknowledged.
The Sultan caused a new Ordinance to he pub-
lished at Constantinople on the 30th of November,
commanding all his Moslem subjects to abstain
from exercising any violence towards the Chriatisa
subjects of the empire, or the subjects of other
Powers in amity with the Porte; and it further
desires, that ull persons offending against this in-
junction shall be severely punished. The advocates
of Turkish power, who have also undrrtakira to
justify the barbarous cruelties which have been per-
petrated against the Greeks, lately put forward on
account which bore strong internal evidence either
that it was altogether forged for some special purpose,
or that at least it ass a very exaggerated and distort-
ed statement of cruelties which were said to have been
committed by the Greeks at thecapture of Tripoli:se.
Some well-authenticated narratives of murders cowa
milted by the Janissaries and the populace of Con-
etaniinopleand Smyrna, upon unarmed Greeks and
other Christians, reached us a few days after, and
it was then asserted by our advocates for the Turks
that these massacres were occasioned by the indig.
nation of the Mussulmans on learning the occur.
reucer at Tripolitza. The firmest* of the Sultan,
which we now publish, is • satisfactory refutation
of this ingenious excuse. His Highness makes
not the slightest allusion to the name of Tripolizza ;
and when we see from the very first passage of the
fireman an anxious desire to justify and excuse the
excesses which he is compelled to prohibit, we may
be satisfied that he would not have omitted so
strong u justification had he been aware of any cir-
cumstances that distinguished the capture of Tri-
pollees from that of any other fortress recorded in
history.

A Flanders Mail has arrived with Papers to the
Bth instant. They contain intelligence from Con-
stantinople to the 10th of December, announcing
an insurrection in that city on the 9th, •CCOOI-
- with the destruction of the reigning family.
Accounts from Constantinople of the gth Dicer's-
ber, in the Hamhurgh Papers, on the contrary,
state that the public tranquillity was still maintain-
ed, sod the Porte had issued another Erman, re-
commending to the authorities more earnestly
than ever to preserve order and protect property.
The account in the Flanders Papers may. there-
fore, be only a new ver►ion of the old exploded
story.

The Dublin Papers of Tuesday last have been
received at our office. An Address from the
liberties of that city was presented to the Marquis
11'ELLEttLEY on Monday, the Answer to which
wreathes the spirit of conciliation and kindness so
strongly evinced by the KING in his late gracious
visit, and which he an earnestly recommended to
all in authority under him.

The Roman Catholic inhabitants of Dublin hive
also voted an Address to his Excellency. At the
meeting at which it was adopted Mr. WO:maim.
alluded to the appointment of Mr. PLUNKET to
the office of Attorney. General, and of the eleva-
tion of Mr. Bums, the Solicitor-General. to the
rank of Chief Justice of the Court of King's
Bench, ■s ■n arrang•atrat on the tee of completion.
