[MORNING COST.]

At a late hour: last night we rtceived, by Ex-
press, French Papers to the 21st inst., and the
Etoile of Monday. Their contents are not of
much political importance or interest. The ridi-
culous prosecution instituted against the Consti.
tutionnel, for the crime of tendanee, was opened
On Saturday last, , when the Attorney-General
made his exposition of the charge, or rather of
the series of charges, for it embraced 34 articles,
and a period of two months and a half. Out of
this multitude of articles, written on different
subjects, and totally unconnected with each
other, tire prosecutor has attempted to extract a
regular and uninterrupted system of hostility- and
attack aguinNt the Catholic Religion, as a punish-
ment for which he demands that the inculpated
Journal be suspended (or its publication prohi-
bited) for one month. The hearing of the cele-
brated Advocate, M. Dopin, for the defence, was
postponed till Saturday next. Yesterday the
Court was to hear a charge of a similar nature
ag-ainst the Coitrie?' Francais.--'The Aristarvie
asserts that in the Councils, lately held by the
Ministers, it was seriously debated whether the
Chambers should be, convoked for the end of
Decernber : whether their meeting should be put
off till the 15th of February,or whether recourse
should be had to a dissolution. It is not stated
What determination was adopted ; but as the Mi-
nisters were in no hurry to meet the scrutinizing
eye of the Legislature, runtil their late finan-
cial measures should take a more favourable
turn, and as they Were equally alarmed at the
idea .of a new. appeal to the public sense, it
is likely,:that they would choose the middle
cuurse,,,an4 not open the Session till one half
of the m. 41.11 of February had. elapsed. The

Etoile contains some intelligence from Constanti-
nople, which announces the fixed determination
of the Porte to continue the war against Greece,
with energy, whatever might be the result of the
conferences held on the subject by Christian
Powers. Great honours and advantages were
bestowed on the Pacha of Egypt to induce him
to persevere in his exertions. He had been made
Governor of all the parts of Greece which- his
troops had conquered, or would conquer; and
his son, Ibrahim Pacha, had been appointed his
successor. He had also been requested to em-
ploy the last force which he had collected,
against the islands of the Archipelago, instead of
the Morea.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
Letters were received yesterday by an eminent
Mercantile House, dated Constantinople, the 23d
❑lt., and Smyrna, the 17th of the same month:—
Though they communicate nothing new relative
to the war in Greece, yet they contain news of
no slight importance. 'M. Minziacky, who had
been so long in the Turkish capital in the capa-
city of Russian,Charge d'Affaires, without. being
admitted to an audience of the Sultan, had this
honour conferred upon him at last, when he
was received with all the marks of distinction
usually skew!' to the Ministers of the
most favoured Powers. Previous to this
ceremony, measures had been taken to give
the Russian Government the satisfaction it had so
long in vain solicited on the subject of the mili-
tary occupation of Moldavia and Wallachia ; and
the most peremptory orders were issued to the
Turkish troops to evacuate both provinces with-
out the least delay. No attempt is made to ac-
count for this sudden manifestation of a desire to
conciliate the Guth of St. Petersburgh, though,
if we were to venture upon an explanation our-
selves, we should be inclined to ascribe it to the
visit of the Emperor to the provinces of his em-
pire bordering on the Black Sea, and conse-
quently adjacent to the Turkish frontiers. As
a disposition to conciliate Russia was evinced
by the Porte, an expostulatory tone was adopted
towards our Minister; and a long list of griev-
ances was remitted by the Reis Effendi to Mr.
Turner, amongst which the report of Lord
Cochrane's intention to join the Greeks holds a
prominent place. At this decline of British
influence at the seat of the Ottoman Government
but few Englishmen will feel regret, us it would
be difficult to preserve the friendship of the Porte,
and pursue a line of consistent policy at the same
time. At Smyrna every thing was perfectly
tranquil. - The failure, however, of a French
house to a large amount had given a considerable
shock to commercial credit, as well as excited a,
great sensation amongst the European merchants.
Neither the letters from Smyrna, nor those from
Constantinople, make any mention of the new
Egyptian expedition.
