PARI4, JAN. B.—The King transacted busi-
ness yesterday with the *Minister of the Interior
and the Minister of the Marine.
Qn the 10th of December Te Deum was sung
at Xeres on account of the cessation of the yel-
- fever.

A fresh disaster has just afflicted the town of
Barcelona. I n the morning of the 24th of De-
cember, the hurricane caused great ravage in the
port. The loss is estimated at two millions;
many vessels ran aground, and some went to
pieces.

The Berlin Official Gazette of the 29th of
November says, that the French Cabinet courier,
Diancourt, passed through Berlin on that
day, on his way to Petersburgh. A great num-
ber of horses, purchased in Germany fur the
French army, and particularly for the light ca-
valry, are constantly passing through Frankfurt.

coltru, Nov. 24.—The Lord High Commis-
sioner has published the following

PROCLAMATION.

" T. Maitland, in behalf of his Excellency Sir T.-Maitland, Sec.
" His Excellency, the Lord High Commissioner and Com-
mander of the Forces of his Britannic Majesty in the Mediter-
ranean, has a pleasure in testifying the satisfaction which he ex-
periences at seeing that the measure of disarming the popula-
tion, prescribed in the proclamation of the 6th current, by
Major-General Sir Frederick Adam, has been followed by a
degree of quiet and subordination on the part of the people,
which 'enables him to draw from it a happy omen of the future
peace and well-being of this island. Such a measure was no
lees evidently necessary for the security of the inhabitants them-
eaves, than for that of the Government.
" The state of convulsion in which the neighbouring country
unhappily is at this moment, the exaltation produced in the
ruir,di of the people by the very nature of the contest in the
Morea, and by the descriptions of the persons engaged in it, and
mc:e particularly the intrigues and wicked machinations of a
few desperate individuals, have rendered this measure not only
one of political necessity, but even of humanity, towards those
who have shown so little controul over their passions, in obey-
ing which they have renounced every principle of prudence,
every sentiment of propriety, every sense of gratitude, and even
the semblance of obedience to their own government:
" The satisfactory results of this operatiol, and the success
which followed it, must be ascribed to the superior judgment,
zeal, and decision of that excellent Officer Major-General Sir
Frederick Adam, to the well-known discipline and correct con-
duct of the British troops, and to a desire, as his Excellency is
disposed to believe, felt by the misled and misguided people
themselves, to retrace the unfbrtunate course which first ren-
dered it necessary to proclaim martial law in the island.
" His Excellency, however, does not think that arms can be
in no way intrusted to any part of the population.
" To the nobles, without exception, (and it is highly satisfac-
tory to his Excellency to announce it), their arms should be
restored under the observation of certain forms of a military re-
gulation, which shall remain in force as long as martial law
shall continue, and which shall be immediately published. Nor
is it the desire of his Excellency to retain the arms of that por-
tion of the population whose past good conduct and firm at-
tachment to the Government have demonstrated that they can
be safely entrusted with them.

" His Excellency therefore orders, that as soon as precau-
tionary choice shall be made, a thousand stand of arms shall be
irranldiately distributed in the manner pointed out by the above
mentioned military regulation.
" His Excellency must add, that he does not intend to limit
this delivery of arms to the above number, but its extension will
depend on the conduct of the inhabitants themselves; since the
only and fixed object of the measure has been to protect the
loyal and well-intentioned inhabitants, and at the same time to
deprive the turbulent, the misguided, and the evil-disposed, of
the ;beans of promoting their wicked and traitorous designs.
" By command of his Excellency,
", FRED. lIANKEY.
" Secretary of the Lord High Commissioner
and Military Secretary (ad interim). •
" Zante, N0v.15, 1021."

NUREMBERG, DEC. 31.—Tranquillity is not
yet restored in the isles of Zante and Ithaca, but
the insurrection has been subdued at Cephalonia
and Cerigo. The system of neutrality in these
islands is executed with greater strictness than
ev?r, even towards the Turks ; but executions
and banishments are unhappily still the order of
the day. It is asserted that George IV. has
manifested his, displeasure at the haughty con-
du,:t of the Lord High Commissioner, and it is
hoped he will be speedily superseded. The
greatest calm reigns in the isle of St. Ahura,
lvhere, as well as at Corfu, trade has become
more active for some weeks.

DEC. 27.—The Algerneine Zeitung of
Dec. 20, published a letter, dated Odessa, Dec.
2, which stated, that news from Constantinople
to 23d November bad been received there.--
[This letter has been since published in many
Getman and other Journals.]—We have been
loncr accustomed to communications of this, kind,
pnd should therefore deem, this one worthy of no
further notice,.if it did not exceed, in a very re-
markable manner, the ordinary measure of the.
lies daily propagated on the affairs of the East.
We, therefore, accompany it with remarks.
1. Neither on the 21.1 nor 25th of November, nor for 14 days
after (the direct accounts come down to the 9th December) was
Constantinople a scene of the most dreadful disorders. On the
contrary, public order was not disturbed. Single excesses com-
mitted by rude men of the lowest class of the populace are
scarcely observed in o great and populous a city, and in the
present irritated state of people's minds. In order to prevent
these, however, the Austrian and British Ambassadors had re-
qmred from the Divan a pew and stricter Ordinance, which they
obtained.— (We inserted it in our Paper of yesterday.)
2. We do not pretend to know what was discussed between
the Foreign Ministers and the Divan. We may however affirm,
that there has been no joint conference of the Austrian andllri-
tish Ambassadors with the Reis Effendi. The last, conference,
that we know of, of the Internuncio took place on the 22d of
November, in a country house belonging to the Reis Effendi,
on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus ; and that of the British
Ambassador not until eight days later, both in the most regular
and decorous diplomatic forms.
5. Neither of the two Ambassadors has had,. or desired, an
audience of the Sultan.

4. This at once reduced to nothing the declarations which the
Sultan is stated to have wade to these Ambassadors. But these

pretended declarations arc dy,?sid23 most .miserably fabricated,
since, as we may confidently affirm, neither the Sultan nor any-
one of his Ministers ever held the language which the Corres-
spondent of Odessa puts in his mouth, or any thing at all re-
sembling it.
5. In the same manner; together with the first fable, that
also falls to the ground, which was to crown all the rest, name.,
ly, that the Ambassadors, on their return, had been insulted by
the people, and that pistols had been fired during a whole af-
ternoon at Lord Strangford's Hotel, and we will not lose an-
other word about it.

6. As nobody had offended the Sultan, or his Ministers, or
the Foreign Ambassadors, there was no occasion to call upon
the Janissaries or the peoph to respect public tranquillity.—
The Turkish Government is not very apt to acquaint the po-
pulace of the capital with the secrets of its diplomatic nego-
tiations.

7. The Correspondent is so bold as to add, " this news was
immediately sent by couriers to St. Petersburgh." If this
should be the case, which we very much doubt, the intelligence
will be appreciated- at St. Petersburgh, where they are better
acquainted with the state of affairs, as well as with us.
What distinguishes the article that has called forth these re-
marks from one hundred others is the evident impossibility
that any, person (unlesi with the express purpose of deceiving)
should have sent from Constantinople an account of such purely
fictitious events. The statement has therefore been fabricated
either at Odessa itself, or in some other foreign town.—(Aus-
trian Observer, Dec. N 3.)

VIENNA, DEC. 9. 9 . —The Austrian Observer of
to-day has no farther news from Constantinople.
FRANKFORT, JAN. 3.—(Extract of a Private
Letter.)—Never was intelligence respecting the
affairs of Turkey enveloped in greater uncer-
tainty and mystery:
The article of the Austrian Observer, which
arrived this day (see Vienna), is one of the
most vehement which has appeared against the
Greek newsmongers of Odessa. It is evident
that the politicians of Vienna are determined to
keep up the hopes of an arrangement between
the Porte and Russia.—[Here follows a blank,
the text of which was suppressed by the Cen-
sorship.]
They announced three days ago the formal
accession of the Porte to the Ultimatum, but this
news not having received the least confirmation
in the Austrian Observer, opinion has taken as
violent a turn to the contrary.

[Extract from another Letter.]—Whilst the
contradictory reports respecting the question of
peace or war produce their effects on the
funds, the Russians and' Turks, who proba-
bly know mach better the actual state of
affairs than the politicians of Vienna, are
daily receiving reinforcements, both on the banks
of the Danube and those of the Pruth. The
most recent letters from Petersburgh and Odessa
are all warlike, and lead to the presumption that
hostilities will soon commence ; for we know,
from good authority, that all the means of nego-
ciation to adjust the differences between Russia
and the Porte have been exhausted, and every
hope of accommodation destroyed.
ITALY, DEC. 2.4.—ltalian Papers say, that the
Sultan has charged the Pacha of Egypt with the
re-establishment of tranquillity in Candia. The
Paella is said to have destined a corps of 7 or
6000 men for this purpose. On the 26th Octo-
ber a small squadron sailed from Egypt for Rhodes.
The Osservatore Tre istino, says, that the
Greeks are beginning to form themselves into re-
giments, and to be trained ny foreign officers,
who have come by way of Marseilles ; that a
Military Order has been published in the Morea,
and a corps of Artillery organised on the Euro-
pean footing.
FROM THE DANunr., n cc. 27.—We have ac-
counts from Epirus to 20th Nov. that Chourschid
Paella, pressed on all sides by the Suliots, the
Epirotes, and Albanese, had turned against his
chief enemy, Ali Pacha. From the Bth Novem-
ber the Turks daily assaulted the Castle, the chief
forts of which are already taken or destroyed.
A:i, the Turks think, cannot hold out long. A
general assault was to take place on the 20th
November. The Suliots seem not to have taken
advantage of this favourable moment to drive the
Turks from their strong positions, and to sur-
round at once both the besieged and the besiegers.
The cause of this negligence is said to be want of
harmony, which prevents any efficient co-opera-
tion. If Chourschid should make himself master
of the castle of Joannina, the Turks believe that
he will be able, by means of the treasures which
he will find, easily to gain the Mahometan Alba-
nese Chiefs, whose connexion with the Suliots
and Epirots is of a very equivocal kind, which
will give a sudden turn to the affairs of the Greeks.
BRUSSELS, JAN. 6. A letter from Venice,
which has been communicated to us, and which
comes from a very respectable source, contains
the following news from Constantinople, which
comes down to the 10th of December :

" The Sultan had irritated the Janissaries, by
opposing the pillage of the suburb of Pera, which,
he had promised them. On the 9th of Dec. a re-
port was spread that his Sublimity had' accepted
the ultimatum of Russia; at this news howlings
were heard before the Seraglio. The'Sultan hav-
ing sent for Dali*.lnlchi, who owned himself to
be the author of this report, cut off his head with-
his sabre. This execution seemed to quiet for
a moment the ferocions. soldiery; but towards
evening,- the Janissaries collecting to the number
of 17,000, traversed Constantinople, and com-
menced the pillage which had been promised
them. The Sultan attempted to harangue them,
but in vain ; he was obliged to retire into the
Seraglio amidst a. volley of balls and stenes.
Then the mutineers prepared to besiege the Pa-
lace, and Mahmoud, losing all hopes of safety,
called all his family around him, and sacrificed,
with his own hand, his three daughters and his
son, exclaiming, in a solemn voice—' The times
are accomplished.'
" At the same moment the Janissaries, forcing
their way on all sides into the palace, appeared,
and were struck with horror ! He then cried to
them, pointing to his son, who lay stretched life-
less at his feet—' The race of Mahomet is going to
be extinct; and the reign of the Ottomans is at an
end !'--(The Turks believe that the reign of the
Ottomans will finish with the race of Mahomet,
of which Mahmoud was the last branch.)—Say-
ing these words, he plunged his dagger in his
heart, and e%pired before their eyes."
TRIESTE, DEC. 16.—Companies have been
formed in some parts of Italy, which undertake

to furnish the Greeks with arms and ammunition.
The Greeks have plenty of money, and pay im-
mediately. Even the English join in this trade,
which presents irresistible prospects of gain, and
the prohibitions of the Lord 11.4.7,11 Commissioner
in the lonian Islands are unable to hander the
frequent communications between the Seven
Islands and the Greek Archipelago.
Dcc. 23.—The news from Smyrna is disas-
trous ; the massacres have continued from the
20th to the 28th of November. The conduct
of the English, such as it is described, has
caused great indignation. When the massacres
-commenced, the Christians wished to take refuge
on board the vessels in the port ; but the English
left the harbour, in order not to displease their
good friends the Turks, by performing an act of
humanity. The French and Austrians acted
with more generosity. Their vessels are incum-
bered with Greek families who have succeeded
in escaping from the sabres of the Turks.--(Er-
