GERMAX PAPERS.
Vows*, Nov. 16.—. An account from Corfu, of
the 24th October, gives in an extract from another
ease ;Ist same month, from Prevesa, some more
recent particulars of the expedition of the Turkish
commanders, Omer Brion. and Mehemet Pacha,
against Missolonghi and the _Gulf of Lepanto.

directlrm by way of Arta.
Several ehiefk of the insurgents in Aearnania had
submitted to the Porte. Nothing farther had been
heard of the Suliots since the' a to Cephas
lonia. It was, however, thoughtful in Corfu
whether the Turks, even though they should make
great progress on this side, would be able to accom-
plish the conquest of the Mores in the course of the
winter, without a perwerful operation from the
Isthmus of Corinth.
MARIIPILLCS, Nov. 4.—We have news hem that
the Turkish fleet appeared off Solo in the middle of
October, and took on board fresh provisions on the
coast of Asia Minor. It was inferred from this, that
the fleet would not yet return to the Dardanelles,
but undertake as expedition against some island in
the Archipelago. An attack on Samos was piracy-
lady spoken of as probable, but up to the middle of
October it had not been made. Many persons are
of opinion that these reports were spread merely to
keep up the expectations ague Turks, and not let
them wok into despondency, Which, in fact, accord-
ing to the unanimous account of Frenchmen in the
Levant, has almost every where taken the. place of
their former arrogance. Constantinople alone is an
exception ; no more moderate system has yet been
adopted there to satisfy the just complaints of the
Foreign Ministers. They have most of them inter-
fered with great seal for their countrymen, and
demaJbaed Ow pm.' of the Amoy bunleas under
which Ater iulfer. Hitherto the English legation
alone has been successful in its demands, as the Eng-
lish in general enjoy peculiar favoursiConstantino-
ple, and the whole Turkish empire. The navigation
of the Black Sea, and the intercourse with the Rus-
sian port on it, is an eyesore to the Turks, and they
do every thing on their part to obstruct it.
TRIESTE, Nov. 5.-T.From the depositions of the
captains of the Austrian vessels that have arrived
here from Smyrna within a few days, it appears
that two Austrian brigantines, the Nieman and the
Sioceto, commanded by Captains Calvi and Palini,
Sad accompanied by an armed brigantine, had sailed
from Smyrna, laden with provisions for Napoli di
Ittimania; that they were taken by the Greeks, and
thit two Austrian frigates had sailed from Smyrna
to Hydra and SpesAia, to demand an account of'
them. The captain of a Sardinian brig, in twelve
days from Smyrna, confirms the above, and adds,
that the Greeks had carried into Spessia a Freuch
ship laden with core, but Oats French frigate had
released it, and compelled the Greek captain to pay
a fine of 32,000 piastres. 'f he captain of the
trian brig-Waterloo, in 24 days from Smyrna, re-
lates the same particulars, and adds, that the Aui-
trian ambassador at Constatitinople sent a courier to
the commander of the Austrian flotilla, with orders
to do his utmost to have the Austrian flag respected '
and protected, and nut to regard any opposition from
the Greeks, of whatever description it may be; that
lie had landed at Zea, where he was told that the
great Turkish fleet hid failed in its endeavours to
relieve Napoli di Romania, and had gene either to
Suds or to the Dardanelles.
biildLlN, Nov. S.—The post from Salonichi, of
the 20th, and fr m Seres, of the 22d October, is sr.
rived. The late report that Abdalluli Pucha had
disappeared from Salonichi is not confirmed. 'Tran-
quillity prevailed in both these cities. Three Begs
had been sent tram Seres to Asia, because they had
reftNed to join the corps of Jussuf Pasha intended
against the Moreu.
Venous, Nov. 16.—1 t was thought, some time
ago, that the evuenation of Piedmont, by the Aus-
trian troops, was a point agreed upon, in the preli-
*ninety conferences which took place at Vienna,
between Prince Metteruich and the Ministers of the
other great Powers. It is reported, however, that
unexpected difficulties have arisen on this subject,
because Austria judges it requiiiir, front the main.

In the'sitting of the Cortes on the 10th instant,
'Don Bertrand de Lis addressed that assembly in the
following terms :—" As a Spaniard and a repre-
sentative of the nation, I can no longer suffer myself
to pass over in silence the conti-rial insults which
the French Government is heaping upon us. I
therefore feel it my duty to submit the proposition
which I sm about to state to the consideration of
the Cortes. I propose that the Cortes shall direct r
the Minister for Foreign Affairs to demand a pledge
from the French-Government, that it will no loni;er
afford protection to the degenerate Spaniards 4rho
retire into the French territories, in order to con-
spire against their country. I also propose that the
same Minister shall be directed to demand a clear
and decisive explanation from the French Govern-
ment, as to whether it wishes to be considers& as
the friend or enemy of Spain ; and that he shall
communicate the declarations that the French Go.
vernment may make to the Cortes, either in a public
or private outing,.as shall be deemed most fitting."
He then proceeded to state his reasons for making
the proposition, and concluded till-11'1=u Spain has
nut provoked, and will not provoke, war. Spaniards
know bow to respect the rights of other nations ;
but if the Holy Alliance, or the cabinet of St.
Cloud, provoke a war, they will always find us pre-
pared to meet it. Spanianls are not so absurd as to
imagine that victory is dependent on their wishes,
but they ate satisfied of the firmness of their char:.
ter and of their noble determination to prefer a
glorious death to a life of ignominy and degradation;
they will descend into the tomb with their enemies
rather than submit to be again harnessAl io the oar
lila ferocious despotism. If our enemies, snore for.
tunate than us, should be victorious, they should
know that they will be masters over ruins only, end
not over men who have sworn to the eunstitutien
or death.' "
The proposition was lost upon a division. the
hers being—in its devour 34, against it 66.

HA A R LEM, Nov. fB.—We learn from Harnburgh
that the Assembly of the Citiliinit has reyeted tila
proposal of the Senate to let the existing tariff of im-
port duties continue in term for some time longer,
and it will therefore cease on the Ist of January,
1823. The deficiency in the revenue of the city,
which will be caused by this measure, must be pro-
vided for by other taxes, the burden of which, it is
expected, will be compensated by an increase iu the
commerce of the ci y.
On the 17th of this intinth, at four o'tlock in the
morning, the liglrnitig struck the vane of the belfry
of the cathedral of Valencuy, and se'. it on fire.
The progress of the fl tines was terrible ; they con-
sumed the whole rapidly, in spite of the united
exertions of the garthon, of the firemen, and of
more than 4,000 persons tell° came to their assist-
ance. The weather was stormy, and great disasters
were dreothd, had not the wind changed to the
north. All the b.:lls are licol:co; only the walls re.

filmes, and it would have been much grixtier
