°ERMAN PAPERS.
FROM TYE Deming, Dec. 27.—1 n order the
more speedily to obtain the object of establishing
• peace in the East of Europe, there is an ides of
►coding an extraordinary Plenipotentiary to Con-
/ etateinople, who, without appearing as an Ambas.
• %odor *um the Emperor of Alexander, and without
bring in the service of Ross* is fully acquainted
Cabir

with opinions and views of the , at of St.
Petersburgh, and can act accordingly. It is known
. that Baron Lebeveltern, Austrian Ambilmador at.
( St. Petersburgh, has been proposed for this purpose.
It is thought that, in case this plan should be adopt-
ed. the Plenipotentiaries will appear at Constanti-
nople in the name of the Congress, fur the purpose
of effecting en arrangement between the contend-
ing parties.
'1 ne Ambassadors of Austria, Great Britain,
France, and Prussia, would receive instructions to
. support to the utmost the negociatioss of the Pie-
nitestentiery ; but should this last attempt to bring
the Porte to principles of moderation and justice
tail, Russia would probably no longer hesitate to
snake use of the right, which the Congress at Ve-
rona did not deny it, of actively interfering in the
I ; internal eliliirs of Turkey ; and it is said, that in
[ / anticipation of this case, an alliance has already'
been agreed -,uron between Russia, Great Britain,
and another of the great European Powers. Mean-
time, and till the question of war or peace is finally
decided, the military preparations on the part of
t• Russia will continue, which will also be the first
means of giving weight to the negotiations to *
opened at Constantinople.
Mastsanzes, Dec. 18.—Letters from Constan-
tinople, cif the middle of November are very dis-
couraging to our merchants, formally advising them
t not to enter into any speculation. They do not ven-
ture to say any thing to political events ; but merely
observe, that the Europeans had not been molested
for the last fortnight. end behaved very prudently.
A French commercial agent says...." Our Minister,
Count Latour Maubourg, has obtained permission
to return to France, and will soon set out by hum!.
• It is said he is going only till the existing misunder-
standings are adjusted; but is not likely that he
will feel inclined to return to his post.
Since the troubles at the beginning of the month,
• there is no direct intercourse between the Ambassa-
dors and the Porte. Even the English Charge de
Affaires, Mr. Chipper, lives very retired. The
new Austrian Minister hardly ever leaves his house,
but several Eur7can Ministers frequently mist
him. The Porte ass sent to hint and to Mr. Chap.
per to inquirs whether they had any news fn.
• Verona, and especially the latter, from Lord Ilitseer
Eird ? The answer was In the negative, to w
. on observation is said to have been added, that the
deliberations of the Cowen could hardly have
commenced, and therefain it was impossible to knew
the result. This ill Oil was considered as apa
p of the attention with which tbe Porte regards the
Congress. The Janissaries, who possess the chief
power, have behaved so far better the.' was es.
irzlt is said there have been violent disputes
. Seniglio ; no particulars of which are, how-
ever, known. All the rich merchants, even many
Turks, are in great fear of new disorders. There
are many new Ministers in the Divan, who are not
likely to chew the smallest deference to the Great
Powers, one of the chief articles of accusation
against Helet Effendi having been, that he had
.. i
been too condescending to the meditating Powers
with respect to Russia."
These amounts mention that a Greek flotilla
seemed prepared to enter the Dardanelles, in which,
however, it would probably meet with great diffi-
culties. It does not hinder vessels coming from or
going to the Dardanelles. The Turkish fleet is at
Gallipoli, and the Greeks intend to take advantage
ut its absence to attack Chiut and other islands
where there are Turkish garrisons. The Greeks
that landed in Cyprus have born obliged to re-
embark. The Yachts of Egypt, it is said, will
occupy that island.

BAYONNE PAPERS.
BAYONNE, Dec. 29.—The discharge of the sol-
diers whose time of service is completed, anti who
belong to the troops forming the Corps of Observa-
tion, is to take place the day after to-morrow. The
number of those who quit the division of Count
d'Autichamp is estimated at 3,000 men. This
measure, added to the impossibility of undertaking
a long. expedition this winter, confirms the accounts
of peace. Four thousand conscripts are expected,
to replace the soldiers to bu discharged.
A formal order has been given to al; the Spanish
emigrants at Bayonne and St. &Fit to retire into
the interior, which frustrates the hopes they had
connived of speedily returning to their country by
tae aid of the French army.
'1 be exchange of couriers between Madrid and
Pais is still very fregalint.

The Moen of the Staff of General d'Autichamp,
and the persons in the military administration of the
army, do not seem to have yet given up the hope of
going to attack the Spaniards, notwithstanding the
news from Paris.,
The accounts from Madrid of the 22d say, that
the accounts from Paris (of the 13th), bawd tl
pacific nature, had greatly contributed to oohs t►e
effervescence that had prevailed, though the fanatics
had not renounced all hope, and continued teeniest,
the credulous with the probability of a war; but the
Government knows very well what it has to depend
upon, and truly it dues nut desire S. war as the Club•
biota do, for it would only increase its embarrass•
mews, encourage anarchy and disorder, and most
probably lead to the total ruin of the country.—
The Ministers are now endeavouring secretly to un-
dermine this anarchical faction, which discredits
them mid impedes their operations. San Miguel,
in particelar, is strongly against the Zurriagiets (as
they are called), who lead the Landaburian Club ;
and there will be no reason to be surprised, if, at a
calmer moment, some of the most violent re banished
hum Madrid.
His Majesty has every day taken his promenade
in the Predo, with his family, like a private in-
dividual.
People talkinuch of the expected arrival of the
Queen of Portugal, and this news has produced a
bad effect on people's minds. It is affirmed that the
Coroes and the Council of State have already dig.
cussed the affair in Secret Sitting, .but nothing has
transpired ; however, that Princess still pereicts in
coming to the King, her brother.
It is said that • corps of ten or twelve thousand
men, from the new levies in the depots, will be as-
ambled in La Mancha, and an equal army sent to
Servos* es an army of reserve.

Die. 31.—We have some accounts of the mo-
tions of the two prinks in the frontier pro-
vinces, by which .we see that the endeavours of
O'Donnel to pen the Ebro have failed; he seeks
only to weary Torrijos by long marches. On the
24th, the General of the Faith, whose soldiers are
in a deplorable state, advanced to Selvitierra with
2,000 men, but the Pastor hastened from Guipuscoa
with 800 men, and obliged him to fly in chancier
without a battle; on the '26th, another column of
the Faith, of 1000 men, had the same tate at &o-
gees*, flying at the sight of a party of 60 cavalry
of Torrijos. Lastly, on the 27tk.tbe Constitutional
Colonel Asura surprised 400 of the Faith, whose
he completely reined, took possession of the maga-
sines and hospitals which O'Donnel had there, and
made 40 prisoners. Thirty poor creatures, covered
with rags, arrived on the 28th at St. Jean Pled de
Pert, in consequence of this action, which took
place at Valcatio• Desertion increases in the army
of the Faith in Dianne.
From the amount of impartial persons who left
on the 22d, it appears, that the citizens
saw dawiedly attached to the Constitutional system,
and the seccessesof Mina has filled them with joy;
notwithstanding the state of Arrogan, it is hoped
that tranquillity will be restored there, especially
when the promised reinforcements shall arrive. It
seems certain that Lerida is alarmed by the bands
,of Mequinensa, where Bessieres seems to have dis.
played more ability than Eroles ; fur though master
vat that small place, which he has fortified as well
as he was able, he has successfully contended for
these three months with all the three of General
Velum.
The province of Tarragona, which began to enjoy
a satisfactory state of tranquillity, has been again
• attacked by a division from Mequinensa, which,
proceeding along the left bank of the Ebro, has
arrived at Mont-Blanch, which the Constitutional
Commander, Mauro, has been forced to evacuate,
returning to Vale. It would, therefore, be essential
to deprive the factious of Maquinensa, which has
bc.t...rme a second Urgel, a Junta of Government
having been installed there. The same traveller
highly praises the seal of the Constitutional troops,
who beat their adversaries wherever they met them.
Numerous couriers continue to pass through our
city. The eveninr, before yesterday we saw Gen.
Roach, an Englishman in the service of Spain, pass
through, coming, it said, express from London,
he was followed by a Russian courier from Paris.

In a letter from Madrid it is stated that the
Spanish Government had received a note from that
of France, but that the pretensions which it con-
tained had been rejected, and that an interview
which the Minister San Miguel had on the 20th
with M. Lagarde, the French Plenipotentiary. he
plainly told them that Spain would never consent
to let France interfere in its affairs; and that it
cared little for preparations for menaces; and it
would, be much better openly to deelare war, than
to pursue the same line of conduct as hitherto.

It is said that a clue has been discovered, that is
likely to lead to some discovery respecting the mur •
der uf the late Mrs. Donatty.
