I REATH PAPERS.

PARIS, Frs. il.—The cause pending between
M. Jacqins Latitie, the banker, and Counts Mon-
tho:in and Bertrand, the bearers of the note writ-
ten by Nutsdeon 13nonaparte, in which he desires
10. Lafit tee to pay into their hands six months after
Its decease, the sum of five millions, deposited with
Lim in the month of July, 1815, at the time of his
eerarture for St. Heleaa, was yesterdey called on
before the First Chamber of the Tribunal of the
First instance. NI. Lafitte declared that he could
test pay over the money, except in the presence of
the guardians of Buonaparte's heir, or those duly
authori..ed : but in the mean time he offered to place
the money in the chest of the office fur deposits.
A serious difficulty also muse from the claim of
interest for five years and a half, at the rate of 5 per
cent, M Latikte contended that no stipulation had
been made as to that point at the time the five mil-
lions were remitted to him ; and that considering
them as a sacred trust, he had made no use whatever
of the money.
M. Dopin was ready to state the case on behalf
of the plaintills, but on account of the number of
causes already commenced, and the pressure of bu-
siness belilre the Court, the trial was deferred to the
:23.1 of this month.
Nl.vonits. Ja.N. 9.9.—The important debate upon
the means of pacitying Spanish America, will oc-
cupy the extraordinary Cortes fur several days.
AVe have still further disturbances here. Nume-
rous patrols travel the streets night and day ; the
guards am doubled, strong picquets occupy the prin-
cipal avenues of the squares ; in short, the city has
assumed an imposing aspect, to which we are in-
debted tar the small degree of apparent tranquillity
whsch we enjoy.
General Campo Verde is appointed to replace M.
Barcena, the present popular commandant of Seville.
This appointment will give rise to some commotion,
ibr M. Caumpo Verde did not show any friendship to
our demagogues in the lute events of Greneda.
Government has countermanded the disbanding
of the seven regiments of militia, which were to
march on Seville previous to its submission. As
that city is again in open rebellion, it appears the
intention of government this time is to treat it with
severity.
JAN. 51.—The King has accepted the resignation
of the Marquis of Santa Craz, as minister of state.
and of 0. L Ballasteror, ns minister of finance.-
0. Ramon Pellegrin and D. Luis Sorela, will hold
ad interim the proteleuilles of those two ministers.
The Universet, of the 31st, affirms, that the Spa-
nish government has just made an application to
that of France, for the removal from the Spanish
frontiers of all Spaniards who have taken refuge in
France.
Letters from Burgos say, that the environs are
still in great fermentation. The magistrates of that
city have intercepted 40,000 reais in new gold coin,
which were brought from Madrid by a fiacre, the
driver of which was to deliver them to the insur-
gents
Letters from Murcia of the 26th say, that pro-
vince has not yet submitted to the government, but
that the functionaries named by the King were
shortly going to resume their employments. Mean-
time the Junta, which governed ad interim, has
appointed a deputation to go to Madrid, tin the
purpose of justifying the inhabitants of that pro-
vince.
Perez, called the valiant, chief of the band in the
neighbourhood of Corunna, has been killed while
defendin himself against the troops that pursued

OFFICIAL NOTE FROM THE OTTOMAN FORTE TO Ills
EICELLEscr I.OIW sTRANGFORD, THE ENI:LIsii
AA-
RAssAIUIt. DATER Dt:c. 2, 1821.
FRANKFoRT, F... 4.—A communication having
be. it made to all the ministers of the Sublime Porte,
as well as to each :f the members of council, of
the contents of two despatches, inclosing the in-
strueCons Oven to his dragoman, by our friend
Lord sirangtiird, the disiingetiilied ambassador ex-
traordinary of the Court of England to the Otto-
:ll.4n Porte, with despatches regularly presented,
and in the last place to the Sublime Porte, have
confirmed entirely all the communications made by
i.ur triond, the very distin4uished Ambassador of
Austria, iii the centerence lately held with him, at
w;ki..ll were discu:sed all the points now in agita-
tion between the Sublime l'urte and the Court of
Itti,isia, arid t. high relate also to some tale% repre-
se:nation.; and the result of this conference having
leis° been communicated to the said ministers and
monilicis of council, the whole has Lech brought
IA it !an their knowledge.
It would be supcifluous to speak, and would be
as us: leign,ziry to rrodoee c4idence of the go-id opi.
anon evnith the. Sid:lime Porte has always entertained
of the Ciinirt of England, her greatest and most af-
to:tomato ally. of die confidence which she reposes

equally in view, with the allied Powers, the main-
tenance of general tranquillity; that she has no
other of than this that she never will be dis-
posed to adopt the detestable measures of violating
treaties, anti of being the first to commence war,
and that her attention and scrupulous cares to fulfil
exactly and literally her engagements towards the
Court of Russia arc constant ..nd manifest.
Whilst it is necessary, however, on the other side,
that Russia should observe in the first instance, and
before the execution of any other article, that con-
cerning the surrender of fugitives, (the first point in
discussion, which admits no qualification, and, with
reference to the state of rebellion, ought to be sub-
ject to no delay), she has signified that under present
circumstances she cannot, whatever may be the
motive, deliver those fugitives whom the Sublime
Porte demands by virtue of treaties, and because she
considers that delivery essential to the re-est:ll;6h-
moot of tranquillity. With regard to the Greek
nation, which is forming imaginary projects of cre-
ating a country, and rendering herself independent,
she has begun by a revolt in the two principalities,
and in some other districts, from the Ottoman em-
pire. As at this moment she continues to hoist the
standard of insurrection, and to carry on war in
diffievilt provinces, the Sublime Porte, in the sole
view of maintaining good order in her state, and in
order to restore public tranquillity, proceeds to chas-
tise the rebels according to the dictates of necessity,
the rights of sovereignty, and the interests of her
internal of iirs In this state of things, it would be
highly inconvenient to withdraw the Ottoman troops
from Ntialachia and Moldavia, and to appoint and
send princes thither; for those provinces would then
become an asylum and refuge for traitors and fur
robbers.
However this may be, it would appear that the
cud of Russia, in setting up this pretension, is to
obtain the countenance of Europe in acting at her
own discretion. The point, us it affects the Sublime
Porte, is replete (and this is as clear as the day) with
every species of inconvenience, both as it touches
upon civil or national relations, or as it concerns
those of law and of religion. It is a matter which
may, perhaps, as has been already seen by the com-
munications which have taken place by command of
the Sublime Porte, lead again to disturb that trans
quillity which it is desirable to establish, and to
invade her authority and rights.
The Sublime Porte hastens, then, sincerely to de-
clare to her allies who wish for general tranquillity,
and who recognise as just the obvious reasons for
which she delays her assent upon this point, at least
for the present, that since it is announced that Russia
cannot surrender fugitives, whatever be the motive,
all which the Porte can do, and this only in the
view of preserving peace with Russia, and out of
respect to the friendly representations nude by the
Court of England on this subject, is to postpone her
fust demand with regard to refugees.
But on the point of evacuating the two princi-
palities. and of appointing there two princes afresh,
as the Greeks have revolted with the avowal of an
intention to deliver Greece, as they are now in open
insurrection in various places, and as the first rebel-
lion took place in the centre of Walachia and Mol-
davia, it is impossible at present, or until the revolt
is subdued, either by the punishment of the rebels,
or by their submission and appeal to clemency—im-
possible whilst the Sublime Porte remains unsatis-
fied that there is nothing to be appreheaded from
their part—to name two individuals as princes
amongst them, or to confide to them the adminis.
multi!' of two rich and fertile provinces, forming a
part of his Highness's hereditary states.
Nobody can doubt that the Court of Russia, by
persisting in her demand upon this point—a point
altogether incompatible with the internal regulations
of the Sublime forte (and this is also as clear as
day), pursues a course contrary to the rights of no-
thins and of governments.
It is impossible, then, in the last resort to modify
this Aids after the following man :to wit. that
until the rebellion ceases, the sublime Porte re-
tain possession of the two provi ces by officers
whom she has there established, with such a number
of troops only as may suffice for their protection
against depredators, and without the slightest mo-
lestation of the Rajahs ; that she will relinquish to
the Greeks ,those offairs which concern the princi-
palities, anti which are now directed by the Calms-
cans, who arc also (;reeks : and that ut present the
evacuation of the provinces and the nomination of
princes be deferred.
As to the subject of churches, which isone of the
points under discussion, there will be no objection as
soon the revolt shad be subdued, to their reparation
and re-construction, as far as the law will permit,
in whatever way they may have been injured.
In what regards the tree exercise of the Christian
religion, the Sublime Porte, as in time past, has
never said aught against its exercise.
The punishments are confined to individuals
who, in open rebellion, refused the amnesty ; and
tt is known that protection is extended to those who
