NO•TIcE ON THE ELECTIONS OF ISIS.
PARIS, Orr. 10.—The elections are terminated. The
general result will not be known for some days to come ; but
it iS already easy to perceive that this result will be far from
answering the wishes of the Ministry. Never did the govern-
ment employ so many efforts to influence the elections, mid
never was the success more trilling.
Ever since the close of the session ISI6. and the acces►ion
of M. Laine to the Ministry, the design of dissolving the
Chamber of Deputies was secretly contemplated t but even
np to the last Council, which issued the order titer that disso-
hition, the public remained in ignorance of the project. A
report was irdecd spread that it was intended to renew a
fifth of the Chamber; and all at once, on the tith of September,
the Moniteur announces to France, and even to the Royal
Family, the entire dissolution of the Chamber ; and the same
paper gave the list of the Sr Presidents of the Electoral
Colleges, whom the Ministry ilea chosen in secrecy from
among the persons who are devoted to them, or whom they
supported with their influence, in the hope that the greater
part of them would be returned as Deptitivs. Secret and
peremptory instructions were sent to the Ministerial Prefects,
and threats of dismissal to those who are known to he Royal-
ists. Those of the jounials that are in the pay of the police
raised their voices in support of the ordinance, and those•
a Welt remained independent were obliged to be silent.

FRANKFORT, OCT. 16.—1 t has been stated al a certain
fart, that the Emperor of Russia has repeatedly caused
it to be signified to the Allied Powers, that he will in
no way interfere in the internal affairs of Germany. Baron
Anstett. his Minister at Frankfort, has, nevertheless, received
instructions to employ his good offices for terminating ami-
cably ali the disputes which still subsist on the subject of
territorial arrangements.
LUBECK, OCT. 6.—The latest accounts front Sweden, and
which are from a good source, give an absolute contradiction
to all the reports of misunderstanding between Sweden and
Russia; reports often repeated, and as often refitted by facts.
The Prince Royal of Sweden never speaks but with profound
veneration of the Emperor Alexander. It is even said that
there have been no discussions between the two Courts.

The English journals have also talked of serious discussions
between Sweden and Denmark. They have even gone so far
as to say, that a war between these two Pow era was on the
eve of breaking out: nothing is more false. We positively
know, on the contrary, that since the beginning of the year
the Danish and Swedish armies have experienced consider-
able reductions ; and that a part of the troops continue to be
disbanded and receive furloughs; which would not he the
ease if either of these Courts had hostile intentions.

Vasice, OCT. 9.—The Austrian Government is more des.
potic and more disliked here, than in any of the places', which
we have hitherto visited. Yon will judge of the degraded
state of the once proud and powerful Venice by the following
fact:—ln the principal theatre, we obsc•wed the front bench
of the pit empty, with a sentinel at each end ; the remainder
was extremely crowded. We asked for whom the front
places were reserved? "The Austrian officers had usurped
the exclusive possession et it, and no Venetian dare r:nestron,
or even complain of, this humiliating set of military despot-
ism." The front of the pit (by the bye), in almost all the
theatres of the Continent, is not only the, most commodious,
but the most expensive, and consequently the most fashionable
part of the house. The two principal objects of the Austrian
■nthorities scent to be the suppression of freemasonry and
prostitation. The freemasons' lodge. established by the
French, has been suppressed, all new associations strictly
forbidden, and the very house in which the meetings had
been held razed to the ground, in order to satisfy the pure
seal of the Emperor arid Pope. The measures taken against
prostitutes have, like the method of Sir Anthony Absolute, at
least the meri♦ of simplicity. They send away every fo-
reigner, and imprison every native prostitute, who appears
in the streets. 'the consequence is, that in this, the most
depraved city in all Italy, perhaps, after Naples, not a single
individual of this wretched class of females is to be seen in
the places of public resort.

SMYRNA, Atc. 30.—The fleet of the Captain Pacha, Grand
Admiral of the Ottoman Empire, 44 sail in number, east
anchor in our roads on the 2.5f1i inst. The appearance of this
force was fatal to our Governor, Hadgi Mahoined Kialep
()glum On the second visit which lie made to the High
Admiral he was arrested by his orders on board the fleet,
beheaded the same evening, and his head sent by a Tartar to
Constantinople. This event threw, in particular, all the Euro-
peans here into the greatest consternation ; for this Governor
maintained, in respect to them the strictest police of any in
the trading places of the Levant. The Captain Paella, as
soon as lie was informed of the apprehensions of the Euro-
peans, sent word to the Consuls, desiring them to assure
their countrymen, that he would strictly maintain the tran-
quillity of the city, and that Oglou's suseessor would pay the
same attention.

SOUTH AMERICA.

Notwithstanding what the late American papers say
about the new efforts of Bolivar, and his hopes of suc-
cess in the cause of freedom and independence, it is
tolerably certain that he has again failed in his attempt
upon Caraccas ; and that he will in consequence be
inevitably obliged to abandon for the present his during
project. Wednesday we saw a letter direct from Laguira
of so recent a date as the sth of last month, the writer
of which regrets that he is obliged to state that Bolivar,
collecting all the forces in his power, had made an at-
tempt to gain possession of Caruccas ; but the enemy,
making forced marches, and coming up with him in
his rear, had totally routed his little anny, and put
nearly the whole of it to the sword. Bolivar is stated
to have again saved himself by flight and reached his
vessel in a wounded state. This account tallies with
advices direct from St. Thomas's, of the 16th of last
month.

NEWS DIRECT FROM nUFNOS AYRES. —We have
seen a Manifesto from the Directory of Buenos Ayres,
announcing the Installation of the National Congress
of the Provinces of Rio de la Plata, Ite. in the city of
Tucuman, on the 25th of April. This grand and
portentous event has been wised by the good under-
standing which now prevails between the Governments
of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. The Republican

OCTOBER 8.

alist Governor of Chili has put under arrest in the
capital all the principal inhabitants of that part of the
country which is still 'under his command. It is pro.
Whited to them to handle any arms, even a stick. The
slightest disobe.lience is punished with death, without
'regard to age or sex. But the Republican Generals
of Buenos Ayes and Chili arc at the head of powerful
armies exasperated against their blOody tyrants. Note
that the best harmony prevails among the Republican
Governments of that part of South America, the most
brilliant results for the CAM of freedom will be the
consequence.
It lilts been reported that a Portuguese force in.
tended an invasion of Buenos Ayres, by virtue of a
treaty with Ferdinand of Spain. The Republic=
General Artegas is waiting for them on the frontiers,
with 30,000 men. All the population are under arms,
even women. We are positively informed that there
are whole companies of women furious and enthusiastic,
who have volunteered on the occasion. The invaders
may become the invaded.
