LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, DEC.IB, 1824.

At a late hour this morning we received by
Express from Paris the Etoile and the Vilote
Muted yesterday. The Etoile contains no inter
ligence of importance, and the following are ex
tracts from the Paole

PARTS, DEC. In.

A letter from Bucharest of very recent date,
'now before us, says that the Sultan has no inten-
lion of keeping his promise for evacuating Mol-
davia and Wallachia, and that unless his High-
ness be compelled by force those provinces will
-remain in statu quo.
The Greeks are following up their successes.
Thessaly will soon become the theatre of great
events, and every thing leads to the hope that
this province will soon be liberated from Turkish
domination, and re-annexed to Greece, The
'empire of Mahomet is rapidly approaching its
dissolution.

IRAN, DEC. 10.

By the expres from the French head-guar
terra which arrived to-day, we have reciived let
ters of yesterday's date from officers of rank,
-stating that General Count Digeon has given
orders for the French troops in every
direction to halt, because the army is not re-
turn to France. Some believe that the French
army will take op its position on 'the Ebro •
others say, on the contrary, that only four regi-
ments will remain there, and that the garrisons of
Corunna, Santona, and Saragossa, are to con-
tinue in those towns. It is not stated whether
any troops will return to occupy Madrid, but it is
very probable that the capital will have a French
garrison besides the two Swiss regiments. For
the non-return to France of the army the news
appears official ; - and it is believed that the Ca-
binet of the Tuileries has at length acceded to the
warm applications of our Government to this
effect, under the stipulation that all the demands
of France to put an end to the evils which deso-
late Spain shall be complied with.
MADRID, DEC. 6.
The troops assembled at Corunna for South
America have deserted, and the projected expe-
dition will not take place, at least for the present.

the close of the market, 102 f. 15c.

Frankfort Papers to the 12th inst. were re-
ceived this morning. It would seem by a letter
from Smyrna of the 2d November, that the
Egyptian squadron was still at Boudroun, closely
observed by the Greek fleet which had not been
idle spectators of their enemy, but had made an
attempt to set fire to the Egyptian Admiral's
ship, which is said to have been unsuccess-
ful. An article in the Swabian 111ercia
points out the injurious effects to Germany
of the numerous restrictions by which the
transit trade through that country, between
France and the North of Europe, has been fet-
tered within the last two years. The goods
which were formerly sent by the Rhine, the
Weser, and the Elbe, to Bremen, llamburgh,
and Lubeck, and from those places forwarded to
the North of Europe, are now shipped in Freuelt
vessels, chiefly fromllavre, and sent direct to Riga,
and other Northern ports : and the return-mer-
chandize which used also to pass through Ger-
many, is now conveyed in these French vessels to
France. The consequence has been that freights
from llavre and its trade have increased in the
came proportion that the customs of the German
States which formerly possessed the transit-trade
lave diminished.
The finances of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY
lave improved so much, that his Imperial High-
tels has repealed the tax on meat and every

thing connected with the trade in that necessary
of life, and holds out the hope of a further repeal

of taxes.

When we recently animadverted on the fortu-
nate resources of our diurnal Competitors, who,
by the confident mode in which they communi-
cated the designs of the British Cabinet, appear
to possess the favour of Ministers in no slight de-
gree, we were by no means aware of the exten-
sive nature of those resources, and did not
render a full tribute of justice to them, for
favouring the Public at large with the official

intercourse which enabled them to impart
such gratifying intelligence to the public at
large. Happy writers, who are thus favoured
with official confidence, by which the people are
apprized of the intentions of Government,
which have hitherto been generally deemed diffi-
cult of attainment ! But it seems that the know-
ledge of these fortunate Knights of the Quill is

not confined to the domestic and foreign views
of our own Cabinet, but they are ablH to penetrate
into the views of the several Governments
abroad. This is surprising, and seems to show

that the Governments of other countries are nol
as cautious now as they have appeared to be

former times. Some of our lucky Journalists
are found able to tell us what are the designs of
Austria, of the Holy Allies, in general, of the
great Russian Autocrat, and indeed of all
the Governments of Europe respecting the
future destination of Spain, and the con-
test between Greece and Turkey. It is
far from our intention to attempt to lessen
the credit due to our competitors for the impor-
tant information which they thus afford of the de-
signs and views of the British and Foreign Ca-
binets, as our envy is extinguished by a sense
of gratitude for their readiness to impart
what they are so fortunate as to attain, since they
furnish us with topics for reasoning on the proba-
bility of events, which otherwise we should not
have sagacity to discover. On the contrary, we
shall not attempt to throw any doubts over their
communications, being sincerely convinced that
the information which they relate respecting the
designs and operations of foreign Potentates,
may be as confidently relied on, as that which
they derive from the kindness of the British
Cabinet.
