The Christiania Gazette of Dec. 8 contains the official news of
a treaty concluded on the 9th Nov. lest, between the King of
Sweden and Norway and the King of Great Britain, relative to
the slave-trade. The King of Sweden engages t' cause penal laws
to be passed u soon as possible oriiiist this traffic. The vessels
which are suapecied are reciprocally liable to be visited by the ships
of war of the contracting parties, and subject to confiscation in
ease the suspicion should be well founded. Two tribunals shall be
established, one in the Swedish island of St. Dartholemew, the
the other at Sierra Leone, on the coast of Africa, to decide on the
actions which shall be brought in consequence of the capture of
ahipe, and to adjudge the indemnities to be given in cue of deten-
tions without due grounds.
An Orli-once issued by the Superior Council of Commerce
has instituted an inquiry into the causes of the dearness of the
French navigation, compared with that of other nations. Coo•mit-
sea have been formed on ten of the principal seaports to collect

accurate information on the subject, and to prepare the revision of
our commercial regulations.
To replace the troops which the Viceroy PCnds against the
enmities of the Sultan, new levies are made, even in Upper
Egypt, and all men fit to carry arms are tater. When
they have reached the camp they are exercised without etas-
NOW all the European manoeuvres, for which they ,how such
an aptitude that in a short time they execute the movements with
extraordinary precision, which surprises their instructors. The
I' itch■ is resolved to have always a camp of 1100 men, well
trained, and ready to march in ease of need. The expeditions
which have hitherto been sent to Candle, Cyprus, and the Morn,
amount in all to 24,000 men. _ _ .

We read in a journal this mornim, that every body draws in.
fermata from the accession of the Emperor Constantine to the
throne of Russia. As for us, we have thought it sufficient to
call to mind that this Prince has always manifested the most
lively horror of revolutionary principles. The following anecdote,
of the truth of which we can warrant the authenticity, is a proof of
this:—

A young French officer, taken by the Russians in the fatal ex-
pedition to Moscow, had obtained from the generous commisers.
tion of the Grand Duke Constantine means to return to France.
When that Prince came to Paris in 1814 this young officer waited
on his benefactor, and was received in the moat flattering manner.
The fatal 10th of March, 1815, having again brought the Russians
into France, the young officer again hastened to pay his respects to
the Grand Duke Constantine, but as soon as the Prince perceived

since I saw you ?"—" Your Highness, I am just come from Ghent."
—" Well then, come and give me your hand ; I acknowledge you
for a loyal Knight, since you maintain your faith to your legitimate
Sovereign."

The Brussels Papers of Thursday arrived last night.
They notice, that at this moment fourteen vessels, of
various sizes, for warlike purposes, are building in the
Dutch dock-yards. Lord COCHR•NE, it is stated, has re-
solved to fix his abode for the future at Brussels. Why
his Lordship delights in obscuring his designs so deeply
in mystery we really know not.
The Emperor CONST•NTINE, it appears, had quitted
Warsaw for St. Petersburgh.

BRUSSELS, DEC. 27.

It is stated that the celebrated English Admiral, Lord Cochrane,
who arrived at Brussels with his family some days age, seems rt.
solved to fix his abode here. There are now building at Amstea
dam, in the dock-yard of M. Meyer, a frigate of 700 ; in that of
M. Knol, a frigate of two, and a frigate of 850 ; in that of M. Van
Zwieten, a frigate of 800, a frigate of 400, a steam boat of 600, and a
ditto of 5.50; in that of M. Burs, a frigate of 480, and a steam boat
of 170; in that of Boelen and Co., a frigate of 1000, and one of 450;
in that of M. de Graaf , a brig of 300; In that of listing and Co.,
a frigate of 400, and a brig of 400 tons : in all 14 vessels.

FOASKTORT, Dsc. 23.

Letters from Berlin, of the 18th of December, say that the
Emperor Constantine has set out from Warsaw for St. Peters.
burgh.

The Court has gone Into mourning for three weeks, and the
whole army for thee days, and the Regiment of Grenadiers of the
Emperor Alexander will have a funeral service performed for Its
Colonel.

Prince William, accompanied by Colonel de Their, has set out
for St. Petersburgh. Numerous couriers continue to pass through
this city.

The news from Greece begins again to be highly inter-
esting. Several important advantages have lately been
gained to the cause of independence. The siege of Mis-
solonglii, it is already known, was finally abandoned in the
middle of October, and KARAISKARI had subsequently
attacked the Turkish encampment in that neighbourhood
with brilliant success, and carried off a rich booty and
many prisoners. By the German Papers which arrived
Yesterslay, It appeals that the Turkish commanders had
quarrelled, and that JIISSOW PACMA had been drys
for not properly supporting the Seraskier, REDSON
PACJIA. Meanwhile, victory attended every enterprise
the patriots. General GouaAs, with some others .4
the orders of CONSTANTINE BOZZARIS, having resolved tfi
drive the Turks out of Salons, attacked them in theft
quarters, and, after killing a gaeat number of them, come
pilled their advanced posts to take flight, leaving in the
hands of the Greeks all their artillery, munitions of "sob,
and baggage. This achievement recovered Salona,

its inhabitants were returning to their dwellings.

event had excited the enthusiasm of the Greek pep*
lation, and under these circumstances, the rodkinfdlisq,
of Misaolonghi had resolved to send for such animism, ort

would enable 13OZZAI13 anti Gonass to attack the

of R ense HID PA cilA on every side at once, and destroy it.
The troops required had been furnished, and were proceed,.
ing to join their comrades when the last &deices arm
from Nlissolonglii.
In the Peloponnesus nothing had taken place since this
arrival of the Egyptian fleet. Every precaution had bees,
adopted by the Greek Government in defence of the publit
safety. Hydra, Spezzia and Psa.a bad been fortified, and
the people of Candia had been supplied with every thing
necessary to their maintenance against the enemy. The
regularly-disciplined regiment formed at Napoli di Roma-
nia was increasing daily, and Colonel FA nvt sit was organ-
ising another regiment at Athens. At Gestouni a regular
body of cavalry was forming under the directions of the Nea-
politan General Rosaaoe. The Greek General Berm
had enrolled himself in the regular army, and all the pre-
judices at first so strongly felt against the introduction of
regular discipline were at last disappearing; the Emcees of
the Egyptian force under IBRAtiim PAC UA having quite
convinced the Greeks of the necessity of conformhig to the
advice of their military friends. The Gere,rnment have
lately manifested great jealousy of the French Officers wbe:
were assisting them. The intimacy subsisting between the
French Governtueut and the Pacha of EGYPT has pro-
bably led to this feeling. From whatever canes, however,
it may have arisen, it is carried to an extreme length.
General Roma, and all the other Frenchmen, were sud-
denly dismissed, and Lieutenant-Colonel AIMICLT, who
had just arrived with twenty artillerists, and all the ma-
terials of a cannon foundry, had suffered the mortification
of having his services rejected.

The proceedings yesterday at the meeting, if we may so
call it, of half a dozen discontented shareholders of the
Mexican Company, are worthy of notice, as an instance of
the unfair means resorted to for effecting the dissolution of
the Association. A few individuals obtain possession of
shares in a Joint-stock Company; their object is present
gain, by realising a premium on the Stock Exchange.
It happens, however, perhaps from causes peculiar
to the Company, or from the general state of the
Mency Market, that no premium can be realised. These
jobbers then turn round on the directors, and insist
upon having their deposits returned ; and in order to carry
their design into execution they calla meeting of the share-
hohlets, at which they hope to succeed in passing resolu-
tions in favour of the dissolution of the Association. They
care not for the injury they inflict on the great body of
absent proprietors. Presc'nt gain Was their object, and, fail-
ing in their gambling speculatiap, they wish only to ro-
cover their money in order that they may use it in IMO

CITY, FRIDAY EVERINO,
The appearance of the Money Mat ket to-day was highly
auspicious. The public are buying largely, and, in spite of
the powerful combination for the full, the price of the
British Funds advanced. Iteiliseed opened this morning
at 81;. The detnalid was so great, that in a short time
the quotation rose to I, at which, after some fluctua-
tions, it closed. During the early part of the morning
Consols were neglected, bat in consequence of the scarcity
of money stock, they advanced from 8111 to i. A re-
action then took place, and they gradually declined to
K. At that quotation they were firm and steady. Si per
cent. rose from 89. to , and Exchequer Bills to par.
India Bonds were 3 1 premium. Bank Stock 215. Money
was abundant, and Stock readily purchased.
The settling on the Foreign Market has gone off very
smoothly. The South American Securities have fully
inaintained their value; and in Shares there has been more
doing than for some time past, and at advanced prices.
Colombian Bonds are 614 ; Mexican ditto, 634; Spanish
Bonds, 12 ; Greek Bonds, 161.
The Mexican Mining Shares were higher than they have
been since the commencement of the late panic. Anglo-
Mexican Shares rose rapidly from 7i to 1 7 ; new United
from 9to 11i. Real del Monte Shares were selling at 170,
and Tlalpuxahua advanced from 50 to 55.

GERMAN PAPERS.

Cosru, Nov. 15.
Sussuf Nebo has been deprived of his office on the representa-
tions of Redacbld Pacha. It appears that in the various attacks
upon 51issolonighi he did not support Redschid as he should have
done. . . .

The loss of Ibrahim ?ache, in his late excursion through the
Mores, is estimated at 1.000 men.
The French Lieut.-Colonel Arnault arrived. with 29 arillerists,
and everything necessary for casting cannon, at Napoli di Romania,
where he met with a good reception, hut accompanied with a posi-
tive declaration that the Government could not take either him or
his companions into its service. Extremely dissatisfied. he then
left the town with his peohle. General Roche and ilie French officers
accompanying him have also been diacharted from the service of
the Greeks, anti have already left Napoli dl Romania. The Nee-
politan General Rosarol, on the other hand, has gone from Zante to
Napoli, on a seerial invitation, and is now organising the troops.
All these mysteries and partialities have excited discontent in seve-
ral chiefs ; and Colocatroni has given up the command to Nikita,
and left the army.
Missot.ourri, Nov. I.
A fter the defeat sustained by the Turkish army on the lOth of
October it left its entrenchments before this town, anti retreated
to the foot of the mountains, leaving only two detachments in the
batteries erected at some distance from our fortifications. On the
24th of October, at midnight, our garrison threw some bombs into
the camp of Redschid Pasha. As our soldiers perceived no motion
on the part of the enemy, they left the batteries and proceeded to
the camp, which they found deserted. They Immediately began to
destroy every thing, and to carry away the materials. It was a sin-
guise sight to see the celebrated camp of Redahid Facile so entirely
destroyed during the night. The enemy's works were immense,
but for the Moir part-without any regular plan ; it was a labyrinth
of works, erected without order and without reflection. The Greeks
now walk unmolested out of the town, and the women roam about
in the wide extent of the forsaken camp of the enemy. We hope
that the damage sine by the enemy to our town and fortifications
will soon be tepaired..—Etankfttet Papers to the 24th inst.
