PARIS, Nov. 25--The Duke of Orleans yester-
day visited the King. His Majesty afterwards trans-
acted business with the President of the Council of
Ministers.

Nov. 26.—Letters from Berlin state, that the
rumours of peace, at least during the present season
are every day acquiring greater credit, but that in
the event of a war between Russia and the Porte,
the Court of Berlin has engaged to furnish an aux-
iliary corps of 30,000 men, or an equivalent in
money.

The account of the defeat of the Turkish fleet on
the 12th of October is confirmed. It lost thirteen
vessels, and had several others much damaged.
The trial of Mazian before the Court of Peers
has concluded. He was found guilty of being an
abetter of, and accomplice in, a plot against the
safety of the State. The President pronounced his
sentence of imprisonment fbr five years.
Letters from Nuremberg of the 17th instant
state, on the authority of accounts from Hanover,
that the Ministry offered to the King before his de-
parture a present of 10,000 gold Georges new
struck. Lord Sidmouth having refused to pay the
Atx LA CHAPELL E, Nov. 18.—A rumour is ge-
neral in Berlin, that in consequence of a negociation
entered into at Constantinople, the commercial re-
lations between the Russian ports in the Black Sea
and those of the Ottoman Empire would be re-
stored on the same footing as at the departure of
Baron Strognoff from Constantinople. If this im-
portant intelligence is confirmed, there is reason to
believe that peace will be maintained between lie
two powers. However, letters from the frontiers
of Turkey hold a language altogether adverse to the
result of the negociations which at present engage
the attention of ministers of the great powers
in the capital of Turkey.
ODI ISA, OCT. 23.—The reports circulated in fo-
reign countries, with respect to the possibility of a
rupture with the l'orte, are as not yet confirmed :
and although the intelligence is often placed under
the head of Odessa, it is nevertheless certain we
know nothing of the statements which, it is pre-
tended, have been received from here. We have no
certain intelligence of the advance of our army.
Prince Suzzo is residing in our city ; but the for-
mer Hispodar has been conducted into the interior
of the country.
VIENNA, Nov 14 —The Austria's Observer con-
tains the following :—" Accounts from Zante, of
Oct. 11, state, that a division of the Ottoman fleet,
having troops to the number of 1500 on board, had
been dispatched from Patras to Galisidi, in the gulf
of Lepanto. The division burned that place, which
was the principal rendezvous of the Greek pirates
who invested that part of the coast, destroyed some
of the Greek ships in the harbour, and brought
the rest to Patras, On the sth and Gth of October,
the greater part of the Ottoman fleets left the gulfs
of Lepanto and Patras, anti sailed for the south, as
some say, to attack the Greek navy at Hydras and
Spezia, or according to another statement, to con-
voy the troops which are to be embarked on the
coast of Asia for the Morea."

NUREMBERG, Nov. 16.—Several thousand Greeks
have already left the islands in the Archipelago and
the Mediterranean, where the Turks are masters, to
take refuge in Egypt. The Paella, who has given
ample proof that he hated every species of fanaticism,
has remonstrated strongly with the Turkish com-
mandant in Cyprus, who had inflicted dreadful
cruelties on the Greek; although he could not help
executing the repeated order to place at the disposal
of the Porte a squadron with 1,500 troops on beard.
yet he would not allow his son Ibrahim to depart,
who had been appointed Pacha and Commander in
Chief in Macedonia ; he even prohibited him from
going to Constantinople.
By leaving such a hostage in the hands of the
Porte he had rendered himself entirely dependant ;
but by a political manteuvre, whilst a part of his
forces is joined with the Turkish fleet, he is supply-
ing the Greeks with warlike stores, and has made
very advantageous proposals to the insurgents in
Candia, to persuade them to put the island under bis
protective.

The city of Metz has been for some time afflicted
by one of the plagues of Egypt—frogs. Several
streets were thornd covered with these animals, and
no one could imagine from whence they came, until
a Marchande de Cirenouilles explained the mystery
by applying to the tribunals, and claiming his pro-
perty. He had shut up 6000 frogs in the troughs
and buckets of the fish-market, and several children,
who discovered his depot, set every one at liberty.
The frogs, delighted with freedom, spread themselves
in every direction. They entered the houses, and the
inhabitants could not relieve themselves from their
visitors, without considerable trouble and difficulty.
Extract of a letter of the 17th November, written
from Barcelona, by Sister Saint Vincent, to the Su-
perior of the convent of St. Camilla :—" What a
horrible pest! More than 16,000 persons have pe-
rished, and 100 die daily. The French physicians
are not spared, for at this moment only one is able
to walk (M. Francois). M. Bally expects to be able
to renew his labours in three or four days They
have courage and devotion that religion only could
inspire. We hope to quit this place about the 15th
or 20th of this month, and undergo quarantine at
the Abbey of St. Jerom, two leagues from the city,
there we shall remain twelve days before we can
re-enter France. The country is magnificent. The
heat is nearly the same. The fields are covered with
orange and pomegranate trees, bearing delicious
fruit ; but the cities otter a spectacle of honor and
desolation. You must see it to judge of the terrible
effect. We meet nothing in the streets but coffins,
and the Saint Viatique that they carry to the dying.
The shops are closed, arid all work suspended. It is
piteous to see so much distress. We distribute to
the utmost of our power the produce of a subscrip-
tion sent from France, which does much good. Mi-
sery of every description is so prevalent, that the
place is a valley of tears."
A most atrocious murder was recently committed
in the commune of Disse sur Soureillou (Sarthe.)
At nine in the evening two individuals presented
themselves at the door of an isolated cottage, and
prevailed upon those within to open it, pretending
to be overcome by want and fatigue. The young son
went into the kitchen to get some wine. The too
strangers followed, and nearly cut off his head with
a knife. The father, aged 50, hearing groans,
armed himself with a gun, and went into the court-
yard, where the assassins suddenly attacked him with
swords, and finally cut his throat. Two daughters,
who remained in the house, ran out, on hearing the
cry of their father, and threw themselves upon his
body. One of them was dreadfully wounded, and
left for dead; the other contrived to escape. One
of' the wretches pointed a gun at the untortunate
fugitive, but happily it flashed in the pan. She soon
contrived to alarm a few neighbours, who proceeded
to the cottage, and found every thing plundered.
Fifteen hundred francs, produced by the sale of. lt
pipes of brandy, were carried oft'. The police are in
search of the murderers.

Count Lagarde, Minister of the King in Spaii.,
has transmitted to the Municipality of Madrid 2000
reals, towards the subscription open in that capital
for the sick at Barcelona.

The young Prince Ypsilanti arrived in Paris some
days since, to continue his studies.
An individual has been several times before the
Police Tribunal, charged with an offence which ex-
ceeds in boldness any perhaps known of late years.
He entered, during the night, the chamber of a lady,
who was sleeping alone. She took him for her
husband, and did not discover her error until she
heard the robber make a noise in the act of removing
a gold watch from a hook near the bed. The cries
of the lady soon brought the neighbours to her as-
sistance, and the offender was secured. He stated,
in his defence before the police, that during the
commencement of the Revolution, he became so im-
moral and depraved, that he had never been able to
act upon the rules of honesty, or distinguish right
from wrong. The tribunal, without regarding his
extraordinary excuse, sentenced him to two years
imprisonment.
The Chamber of Peers is occupied daily with the
trial of Mazian, charged with being one of the con-
spirators of the 19th of August.
The Committee of Health, at Perpignan, have
ordered four individuals who were taken in the act
of breaking through the cordon, in order to return
to France from Spain, to undergo a rigorous quaran-
tine of forty days, in the lazaret of Arles, and when
they are pronounced free from infection, they are to
be tried for the offence by the tribunals.
NUREMBERG, Nov. 15.—The Correspondent of
this day contains a letter from Prague, of which the
following is the substance.—
" The hope long cherished of seeing the Christian
Powers of Europe sustain the cause of the unfortu-
nate Greeks, by other means than political measures,
has been considerably weakened during some weeks.
It is, however, thought by some, that the Secreta-
ries of Mahomet will not keep their faith with in-
fidels and that Russia will act in aid of the Greek
cause.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER e.

The sentences upon the criminals connected with
THE JOHN BULL, and the man who disgraces the
clerical character, as a member of the Estab-
lished Church, officiating at Liverpool (the REVE
REND R. Blacow), are now matters of history, and
are at the same time subjects of sincere congra-
tulation to all those who are attached to the
British Constitution as it was—as it ought to be
—and as we hope it will ere long be again.—
This cause of congratulation will not be found
to the severity proportionate to the crimes com-
mitted, for the annals of libel do not present us
with any thing approaching to the atrocity of
either—but from the hope it holds out that the
Judges are determined no more to consider so lightly
of a lengthened incarceration—three years have
been repeatedly rendered a blank in the span al-
lowed to man in this world, by the sentence of the
Court of King's Bench, for a libel of the most trivial
kind, and of itself unimportant, though founded in
fact, and convinced that the Bench is above that
narrow feeling which can permit a Judge to enter
into a political balancing of crime...to mete out one
