LEIPSIC, JANUARY 4.
Eight days of our fair are now gone by, but it
is worse than ever, to which both the weather and
the political circumstances contribute. It seems as
if all life had vanished from commerce. People
buy very little, though they want a great deal, but
necessity teaches them to make many retrenchments,
which would' hardly have been thought possible
after more than six years peace.
The population of this city, which continually
Ist by the influx of strangers, who fancy there
more opportunity for .in in Leipsic than any
•svbere else, is estimated it present at 40,000 souls.
The population of the neighbouring villages also
couttunes to increase.
PROP Tilt DANUBE, JANUARY 8.
We have just received remarkable information
from Epirus. Churschid Pear, who had received
at the beginning of November considerable rein.
'freemen's of Asiatic troop. from the P.achas of
acedonia, found himself obliged to carry into ex-
*cation the positive or.clekli
.hod repeatedly ►e-
ceived from the RtiOlimelostillahe himself master of
the fortress of Joannitiott ihilever expense, and to
subdue Ali Pacha. To attain this object, he col-
lotted all his troops about Jeannine, and evaciratH
the whole of southern Allasuia; as he did not need
tospare hit troops, which had been much rein-
forced, he really succeeded (after having been
fp puked in several attack►) in making himself
master of the fortified eminences which defend
fire for: of Joantsiaa. But the actual works of the
Sort are still uninjored, and cannot be so easily
taken. The endeavours of Ali's agents to induce
Mite Suliota and Epirots to put themselves in mo-
'ron to relieve Ali have furled. The latter find it
.Atore imitable to their purpose to leave Ali in his
oinks rrrrr inent, and to take advantage of the state
OP affairs to make themselves masters of the for.
tresses in Epirus and Acurnania, which are still in
the hands of the Turks, and in this they cannot
Gil to succeed. Arta is already taken, and Pre-
reps will cot hold long. It seems that the Greeks,
Epirots, and Albanese, would not he sorry if Ali
were wholly subdued by the Turks, for they still
consider him as their enemy, and, above all, can-
not pardon his having lately endeavoured to recon-
cile himself with the Porte.

The Paris Pipers of Saturday lest have arrived
at our office. The next arrivals will in all likelier
hood communicate intelligence of more interest
than these can boast, for Saturday was appointed
for a public sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, to
hear the Report of the Committee upon one of the
laws relatiug to the control of the public press, and
to commence the debate upon the other. Upon
the result of the debates on these new measures will
probably depend• the fate of the new Ministers.
The late Ministers were thrown out principully
caste of their avowed hostility to the public press;
should those who form the present Cabiuet be con-
victed, by the defeat of their measures, of a similar
offence, they must expect to share the same fate,
end in the event of their expulsion, necessity points
to the liberal party upon the Icft side of the Cham-
bers as the fit depositaries of the executive autho-
rity. The selection of that party would imply a
great change in the character of the French Go-
vernment ; but the extent of the change would pro.
hably disappoint the hopes and fears of many,
while, without causing any danger to the prificiples
of the constitution and to the spirit of the mo-
narchy, it would be yet sufficient to gratify the
wishes of the people, iospire them with confidence
in their rulers, and, with the freedom of the press,
secure to them the full enjoyment of their other
immunities and privileges.

The Ilioniterr announces one important concession
to the interests of the public. It contains a royal or-
dinance declaring the suppression of the Director-
ship of Geoeral Police. We lately expressed a
wish, almost a hope, that the hew Miiiiiters would
abolish this office, and the torimg; is one with which
the people of France most be deeply gratified.
This office was denounced by M. CIikTZACIIIIIIAXD
in his eloquent testy upon the Charter, as one
which ought not to exist wider a constitutional
monarchy, its powers being wholly incompatible
with the principles of petsonal security and
the sacredness of property. The-name of the
office was offensive, ftbm its attributes; but it
is evident that the sappressiou of an office would
be nugatory, if by negligence or connivance its
powers should he exercised by a magistrate under
another denomination. The Minister of Police was
but an agent of the Goveninteal;:aad exercised by
delegation a certain portion el tlos•esecutive au.
thorny. Upon the .suppreibiortittlie office the
share of power which it represeatedionst be sup-
poird to:evert 'gain- to the Crown, and to he de-
pen,dont as before upon the dal:re/Alan of do Soy..
