LONDON.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 23, 1825.

We received, at 'a late hour, the Etoile of
yesterday, from which we extract the following

articles :

SYRIA.

The Janissaries have resumed an air of inde-
pendence,and give themselves up to disorders, of
which the Police do not take any notice : misery
is great, and European commerce suffers much.
This state of things is increased by the depreda-
tions and incursion; of the kurdes and Arabs,
who hover about the town and intercept the com-
munication.

PAgis, MAncii 21.

Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador,
left Paris yesterday morning for England. During
his residence in this Capital, his Excellency had
frequent conferences with the Austrian and Rus-
sian Ambassadors, and our Minister for Foreign
Affairs.

The following is a private letter from Tan-
giers :—" The Spanish Refugees having received
orders from the King of Morocco to leave his ter-
ritories, put themselves under the protection of
the French Consul, who gave them a safeguard
till he received further orders, as these Spaniards
declared that they would embrace the Maho-
metan religion if he refused to protect them."
In the Etoile there is a long Expose relative to
the project of the law of indemnity, presented to
the Chamber of Peers by his Excellency the Mi-
nister of Finance.

Rentes opened at 102. 70. for money; end of the month,
102. 93.

The Paris Papers of Sunday announce the
death of the Princess de INlErrEasicu, which oc-
curred on Saturday morning. It is stated that
the Prince will not remain in Paris many days
longer.

The fall of Patras is mentioned in the Constita-
tionnel on the authority of letters from Leghorn.
In the French Chamber of Deputies on Satur-
day the debate on the reduction of the Rentes was
continued. The principal speeches were those
of M. de La BOURDONNAYE and M. ',ABBEY de
Pomeir.REs, both against the Law. These pro-
positions appeared to M. de La BOURDONNAYE
invincibly demonstrated.-Ist. That the asser-
tion on which the project of law is founded,
namely, that the interest of money has fallen to
four per cent. in ordinary commercial transactions,
is incorrect ; 2dly, that the rise in the funds,
which is ascribed to this fall of interest, is only
the effect ° and 3dly, that the principal
agelitsTortrhii:bling
factitious) rise are large capitalists

~~~

supported by Government influence. The lion;
Deputy, with reference to the first of these pro-
positions, maintained that the interest of money
was generally above 4 per cent. in France, and
that the Minister could not borrow even a hundred
millions at four and a half. If the state annui-
tants adopted the other alternative, of converting
their five per cents. into a three per cent. stock,
at 75, they did so because by the law they ob-
tained a bonus of 33 per cent. The engagements
between the Minister and the great capitalists
who were exerting themselves to raise the Rentes
for the success of his financial plans, had been
denied ; but a simple denial, M. de LABOUR-
DONSAYE contended, was not sufficient to over-
throw a report so generally believed, and
presumptions so well supported by facts. The
interest of a great financial measure could
alone authorize such a frequent intercourse
between the Minister and the capitalists in ques-
tion—such a facility of correspondence—such

privileges of estafettes, and such a violation of the
secret of letters as had lately appeared. The
Honourable Deputy declared strongly against
the injustice of subjecting the small annuitants
to a diminution of their incomes "to gratify the
wishes of the Minister, or to afford additional

stimulants to the jobbing of great bankers. M.
FRENILLY defended the Minixterial project. M.
LABBEY DE PostpicaEs opposed it, in a speech
which excited a good deal of interest the
Chamber. The Assembly adjourned at half-past
five without coming to any decision.
The- following are extracts from the Eloile
dated Monday :

PARIS, MARCH 20.

The Princess Metternich died yesterday morning, at three
o'clock. The Princess is not to buried at Paris. On Monday,
after a short ceremony, which will be performed in the Church
of the Assumption, the body will be sent to Germany, to the
family estates, where it will be buried.

A large sum of money has been given to the poor, and 50
masses are to be said for the soul of the deceased.
The King has sent his compliments of condolence to Prince
illetternich, to the Princesses his daughters, and to the Count
and Countess Esterhazy, on occasion of the death of the Princess.

Accounts from Lucerne of the 11th say—" We hear from
England, that Mr. Vaughan, Minister of his Britannic Ma-
jesty to the Swiss Confederation, who lately left .Switzerland
on leave, will not return to Switzerland, but that he is ap-
pointed Ambassador to the United States of America, and will
be succeeded here by Mr. Algernon Percy, Secretary to the
Legation at Paris, son of Lord Beverley, and cousin to the
Duke of Northumberland."

It is affirmed that the Directoral Government of Switzerland
has manifested an intention to take part in the treaty of com-
merce which is actually negotiating at Stutgard between the
plenipotentiaries of the States in the south of Germany.
We have the following from a corresnindent at Cambray :
A most afflicting scene, which has Silted the inhabitants of
the chateau with consternation, took place in the evening of the
14th instant.
The clergyman returning in procession, after carrying the
viaticum .to a sick person in the suburb, a person rushed out
of a public-house and fell on the ecclesiastic to strike him. But
the crowd instantly seized him, and but for the intervention of
the local authorities, who immediately sent him to prison, he
would infallibly have been the victim of his abominable action.
He could not touch the sacred vessel which the clergyman car-
ried wrapped up in a veil, but he threw down the lid of it, sur-
mounted by a cross which was broken. Happily the conse-
crated wafers were saved, the priest having taken the precau-
tion to cover the vessel with his hand.

We have received Canada Papers to the II th
ult.—From Quebec we are informed, that the statements
of the Provincial Revenue had been laid before the House of
Assembly. The Revenue during the last year amounted to
about 110,0001., which, deducting the proportion for Upper
Canada, left about 83,000/. for the expenditure of the other
Province—a suns considerably above the ordinary expendi-
ture. The value of imports in 1824 was 1,212,2171., and that
of exports, 925,4331. The imports of 1824 exceed those of
1823 by 186,0001., upwards of 60,000/. of which is on the ar-
ticle of rum alone. The other articles making up the increase
are sugar, coffee, tea, and goods paying two and half per cent.
As to the exports, the most prominent article is ashes : in 1823
the quantity exceeded that of 1824 by 76,0001. ; but the whole
amount of exports exceeds that of the previous year by 3,6251.
By these Papers we also learn that the Hon. J. Reid had been
appointed Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, for
Montreal, in the room of the Hnn. J. Monck. N. F. Uniacke,
Esq. was appointed a Judge of the same Court ; and J. Stuart,
Esq. to be his Majesty's Attorney-General, in the room of the
last named Gentleman.

Ilis ATAJESTY is expected at Carlton Palace
this day to hold a Council.

Advices were received] yesterday from Per-
nambuco to the 10th of February. The pro-
ceedings for bringing to punishment the leaders
in the late insurrection had not then terminated.
Fre Caneca, one of the principal of them, suffer-
ed death on the 13th January, and sentence had
been passed on Alacario, Governor of the Re-
gistro, the execution of which was fixed to take
place on the 11th of February. Others were in
custody awaiting their trial, and would no doubt
meet a similar fate. By these severe examples,
the ascendancy of the Imperial cause was fully
established at Pernambuco. About 200 of CAlt-
vAHLo's late troops were sent prisoners to Rio
on the sth of January.

The Accession, Ito n DA it.r, arrived off the Land's-
end, sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 18th of December, and on
the 30th, in let. 23., long. 34., fell in with a brig, with her
masts in the water, abandoned by her crew, but a number of
Blacks holding by the starboard fore-chains anti cat-head : she
took 31 off the wreck, and 10 from the inside of the vessel. The
brit; was about 200 tons burden, and appeared to be laden with
palm-oil; and the Blacks stated that the crew left her when
she became water-logged. The Accession arrived at Bahia on
the 12th of January, and landed 39 Blacks (two having died
on the passage), who were given into the hands of Government.
Letters from Leghorn, Trieste, and Ancona,
state, in a positive manner, that Patras was deli-
vered up to the Greeks on the 6th of February,
on certain conditions, which are, however, not
stated.

An article in a Petersburgb paper denies that
Spain is sending any Commissioner to Russia at
the present juncture, or that Russia has formed
any secret treaty with Spain relating to mili-
tary aid.
Letters received in town yesterday from Bou-
logne mention that the trial which had long ex-
onsul, Mr. II Am' LTON,
a renchman, for uttering
cited so much interest ,there on the part of his
had finished, when the
