' We (Gazette de „France) have received, by an
'extraordinary conveyance, the Madrid journals
'of the 2 ith of December. They+ contain nothing
importa►►t :
The sitting of the Cortes on the 9.3 d was oc-
-cupied whit the adjourned discussion respecting
the economical organization of the provincial ud.
ministrations, a question which excites no interest.
The Brigadier Sancho has been nominated Go-
•vernor of Carthagena : several other,nominations
to military posts have taken place.
The reports of Min►►, up to the 30th of Novem-
ber, have been published. They are dated from
Pnycerda.

Madrid continues tranquil ; but the sittings of
• 'the liandaburian Society are turbulent.—(Ga-
-zeile (lc France.)

Incrptlible efforts were this day (Monday last)
made upon 'Change to operate a striking rise in
this public funds, but all ended in producing only
a slight rise, which stopped ere the close. It
appears certain, that on Sunday a Council of Mi-
nisters was held at the residence of M. de Lau-
riston, at which M. de Chateaubriand was pre-
sent. It was there.decided, it is said, that the
Ministry should remain composed, such as it ac-
tually is, until the meeting of the Chambers; the
convocation of which is definitively. fixed for the
28th of January. The crisis, consequently, is
postponed to the end of January-, and it is re-
served to the majority of the Chambers to ter,-
m!natalt in a deCisive manner.—(Courier Fran-
als.)

[From the Diurnal des DOats of Tuesday.]

We resume the continuation of the observa-
tions which were given in our paper of the 9.9 th
instant, relative to the Ministerial movement
which has just taken place :
"We hive already rendered distinguished
homage to the noble sentiments and personal
qualities of the Minister who has voluntarily
retired from the Department of Foreign affairs :
this retirement, we know, is not a disgrace, it is
a• natural consequence of the representative sys-
term Under. thislorm of government, a perfect
homogeneity is .one of the • necessary conditions
of the supreme Administration ; and when, in a
question of high policy, - the conscience, or the
reason, of auy'Ministers does not permit them to
coincide in the sentiments which• the majority of
their colleagues, or the intervention of Royal
authority, causes to prevail, then conscience or
-reason, cornbine'd with honour, imposes on the
dissidents the obligation of retiring ; and this
step, far from.. diminishing in the slightest degree
their claims to the esteem of the Monarch and to
public consideration, on the contrary, gives them,
a farther claim to the respect which accompanies
the honest man who is steadfast in his resolutions,

and incapable of sacrificing to the seductions of
power, opinions which he regards.as duties.
But farther; the merit of sacrifices of this
nature is magnified in proportion to the slightness
of the shades or difference between opinions : it

will easily he conceived that inflexible opposition
( necessitates .a political separation; but, when
there is accordance in principles, and the diffe-
rence regards only such or such a mode, such or
such a period, more or less favourable to their
application, the motive of retirement can only he
imputed to an.uncompromising delicacy, rather
than to scruples which one would be induced to
accuse of sternness. This consideratim► increases

the just regrets which all Royalists have tuani.
fested at the resignation of M. the Puke de
Montmorency.

cc Tbe journals to which we reply have come-
quently been, misinformed, when they asserted
that there had been an essential division between
the members of the Ministry, and that M. de
Montmorency had been overcome by the Wow;

of a victorious party : an assertion at least in!-
, prudent. IVhat ! .if, us it was wished to in-
sinuate, the Ministry had been divided between
two opinions, directly opposed to eaah °thee, can
It be believed that M. do Montmorency would
alone have given the signal and example of retreat ?
J f the interests, of the Throne, -if the dignity of
Prance, had been compromised,iby refusing to

adhere forthwith to measures w Melt he might
think useful, would not such serious inconveniences

have attracted some attention.; and iif they had
even been glanced at as possible by any of his
honourable colleagues, who can doubt that they
would not have followed the example which was
set to them, and that their resignation would
have been the consequence of a convictimi that

they had unreservedly coincided with M. de
Montmorency ? .

44 All that permitted: to conclude from-the
retirement of this Minister is, that on an impor-
tant. point of discussion, his manner of viewing it
was not completely in accord with the, result of

the Council, and that, as we said at the time, by
a sentiment, the very exaggeration of which is a
virtue worthy of the highest praise; he has yielded
to his personal' feelings without ceasing to be
united in heart, views, and principles, with those
from whom he separated himself. lie forthwith,
and voluntarily, tendered a resignation, the offer
of which has excited only a painful surprise, and
which has only been received with the most in-

. tense regret. Was it, therefore, indispensable,
..;in.ortler to render homage to an honourable step

on the 'part of a Member- c(ff the 'Ministry, to'
evince injustice with regard to the others ?
"We will only add one more remayk. Even
they to whom the retirement of M. de Montmo-
rency has furnished a text for :the most violent
declamatious, now all agree in recognizing-, in
the illustrious man who has succeeded him, a'
nobleness of character equal to the superiority of
his genius. When, therefore, a statesman, such
as M. the Viscount deChateaubriand, unites his
talents and his political principles to those of the
late colleagues of M. de Montmorency, doubtless
he is sure of finding in them Royalists and
Frenchmen, and accordingly we must, unless
we fall into an absurd contradiction,.in admitting
this double title of the new Minister, grant it
also to the old one.

"This will also be an answer to the objections
raised by the same,Journals against the letter of
M. the President of the CoUncil to the King's
Ambassador* Madrid. The assertion has been
hazarded, ttat by this letter the Minister has
placed himself' in opposition to the views mani-
fested at Verona by the Sovereigns. The eye
of prejudice can alone have misconceived, on this
point, the particular character which there pre-
ponderates. There is not a paragraph in that
dispatch, in which is not expressed the most
direct adhesion to the views and determinations
concerted by the august Allies of the King. The
President of the Council, organ of the intentions
of his Majesty, has faithfully transmitted them to
the Ambassador of France. Let them re-peruse,
let them weigh all the expressions of this docu-
ment, and there will only be found In it the
ttnguage of foresight, firmness, and the assurance
of a.decided concurrence in the most energetic
measures, 'if the essential interest of France con-
tinue to be compromisede, and if she despair of an
amelioration,' on which may he established the
continuation of the relations between the two
kingdoms. When the notes of Russia, Prussia,
and Austria, shall be known, we shall then see
whether they surpass in energy the French note,
whether they explain themselves with more pre-
cision, and whether they demand from Spain any
thing more intelligible and more positive.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 26.—1 t may be said

that, like the Revolutionists of Madrid, the Ja-
nissaries have had here their 7th of July. fa-
flamed with their recent triumph, they now de-
mand the head of Haleb-Effendi, and it will not
be long ere it is delivered to them.
The last advices from Bagdad excite great
fears for that place. The Persians are rapidly
approachingotud the inhabitants show themselves
very much disposed to open the gates to, them.
Intelligent Europeans, who saw the Ottoman
fleet in the Dardanelles, state that the ships are
in se shattered a state, that it will be five or six
months before they can be refitted for sea. The
Greeks well know how to avail themselves of
this interval.-,--(Gazetle &Augsburg.)‘
Since the recent events which have► taken place,
in which the will of the Janissaries prevailed
over that of the Grand Seignor, that military
body have extorted from the Sultan a hatticheriff,
by virtue of which delegates from the Janissaries
are' henceforth to be called to all deliberations
upon state affairs. This concession must accele-
rate the catastrophe of the empire. In spite of
all concessions, however, the Janissaries continue
to demand the head of Haleb-Effendi ; and, mean-
while, they have sacked and pillaged his palace.
The Seitan himself was forced to dispatch,a Ca-
pidgi-Bachi to go and seek the head of one who
was his friend, and whom he had honoured with
his confidence for so many years.—lbid.)
ODESSA, Dr.c. B.—We have received intelli-
gence from Constantinople of the 28th ult. The
Sultan has caused all the Captains of his fleet
who escaped the disaster of Tenedos to `be be-
headed. Their heads are exhibited over the
great gate of the Seraglio, with those of Holeb-
Effendi, the Grand Vizier, the Director of the
Customs, and of other functionaries who have
been executed. It is not known how far this re-
volution may go. There is no other authority
but that of the Janissaries.—(lbid.)
SMYRNA, Ocv. I4.—Accounts have been re-
ceived at Belgrade of the► death of Chourschid
Pacha. To escape the sentence of death by
strangulation, brought to him by the Capidgi-
Bachi, he poisoued himself. Ills head has been
sent to Constantinople. His confidential friends
have been arrested, in order to extort frets, them
where this Pacha had concealed the treasures of
Ali. All the troops which were under his orders
have been disbanded. The districts which had
suit/flitted are again taking up arms.—(Mid.)
Ax, D EC. 22.—Gen Fleiros and the Archbishop

of Tarragona are here, and officers from the Army
of Faith are daily passing through for the can-
tonments appointed for them. There has been a
report of a Junta being organized for the Army

_. •
of the Faith in-this city. The Lieutenant-Geri.
commanding the movealrle column in this depart-
ment, has given orders for a movement of the
troops, which commenced on the 20th, and has
been continued, notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather. The stagnation of commerce
at its height. Not a single merchant from the.
Cerdagne has appeared at any of our fairs, and
we 110 longer see either flocks,, cattle, or iner-
chandize passing through the country. The
dread of Spillage paralyzes every thing. All
communications run the hazard of •tieing inter-
cepted by the-Guerillas which cross the travel-
ler's path at every league. They are in want of
salt, corn, and every other necessary, on the
frontier. No adequate idea can be formed of
the distress of our neighbours.
