'()REIGN INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Etoile of Friday.)
Pants; Nov. 2.—lt was on his arrivallet Twer, on the
)3th of October, that the Emperor of Russia reeeiVeil; by
a courier, the news of the close of the negotiations at Aker-
mann. The Turkish Plenipotentiaries have ended, by ae-
cepting and signing, on the 6th of October, the' draft of
the convention, which was proposed, to them, on the be-
half of ItiSsia. Agreeably to the last Article of that eoe-
vention, the ratifications are to be exchanged at kker-
trienn, within the space of four Weeks at farthest.
• (From the Etude of Saturday.)
OD SSA, OCT. 14.--As soon as the news of the signing
of the additional Convention of the Treaty of Bucharest
was received here, the troops, who bad marched to the
frontiers, withdrew to their old quarters. It may be
counted upon, that our Emperor will ratify this conven-
tion without delay. - Some temporary difficulties may, per-
haps, arise at Conattintinople. The Mufti will have to
affix a fetwa to this treaty of peace, which will not be
published till after the meetings extraordinary of the Divan
on this , subject. Although it seems probable that, tinder
the present circumstances, the Divan will agree to the rati-
fication, it yet, in the last instance, depends upon the
:Mufti; but, in the end, as the armaments of the Porte are.
yet in their infancy, the Mufti must, like the Sultan, bend
to circumstances. The ratification once obtained, the
Greek question, already indirectly agitated at Constanti-
nople by Mr. Stratford Canning, and which several great
powers have declared, in the conferences of St. Peters-
burghi to be European, will be brought upon the carpet,
and raise new embarrassments. Some persons say,
jokinglyi upon the matter, tlutt the Turks will be chased..
out of Europe, in a friendly way by simple ultimatums.
Others do not see SO easy a mode of getting out of this
labyrinth.
OCTOBER 15.—,The additional convention consists, pro-
perly speaking, of eight articles, which contain the propo-
sitions of Russia, that have been so often disputed. It
stipulates, among other things, for the entire liberty of the
navigation of the Black Sea to the Russian flag; the es-
tablishment of a divan in the principalities of Moldavia
and Wallachia • the capability of re-election for the
Hospodars at the end of their administrative period of
seven years ; the te-establishment of the privileges of
Servia, and the evacuation of that Province, with the ex-
ception of the fortresses, by the Turkish troops; and,
finally, it derna»ds, that the claims of Russian subjects
should be liquidated by a mixed commission, and that the
payments should be made to the Russian ,Charge d'Affaires
at Constantinople.

The lawii,ug of English troops has actually taken place on
Saturday the 14th inst. at three o'clock in the afternoon.
These tr,,,,ps, to !Ile number of 251.1 men of infantry, oc!.

Royal residences in Europe, and ii at present inhabited by
the Princess Regent. 4P!'
The small detachment of English troops, who bave hi-
therto not yet been. charged with any service . near her
Royal Highnese, has been located in the street d'APala
use
the right,on the ascent of the small hill, between the nearest
quarter of the quay of the Tagus, destined for the cavalry
of the Commercial Volunteer Guard and the. troops of the
Linz. in barracks, on the platform before the Palace. The
two,lotisli ships of war who have dropt (lowa the river
Tagus, rebdorced by two brigs of war of the same nation,
are anchored, and form a half-circle exactly facing the quay,
in the shape of a half-moon, between the Belim square and
the Royal Palaces of Ajuda, which is situated on AB ,
tion at the distance of a musket shot from this squadron of
observation:.
The town of Belem is very near the point occupied by
the squadron. The Admiral'a ship and the other English
men of war have not changed their position in the upper
part of the Tagus parallel to the heart of the. town.
The landing of the English troops has produced a strong
imps,ession on the minds of the inhabitants of that capital;
aml it easy to foresee that this intelligence will produce
the same 4effect,inithc provinces. Men of all opinions co-
incide in pet;,,eiving in this' decisive step the solution of-•a
delicate politiee.l problem.
The number ot„!,roons is looked upon as indifferent, con-
sidering that they ridOtt-be increased at pleasure; but.the
influence or moral Jot pf this first step is immense, for
the British Cabinet has passe,:t the Rubtcon, and unveiled.

P. S.-(At half-past four o'clock in the afternoon.)--T
am intimate', this very moment, that the detachment of
English stoops I !poke of in the preceding letter is to be
relieved and entirely changed by other disppsable troops,
which are on hoard, whose numbers are °entrsted at 2,00 p
men, died who, in ease of need, might be landed in a body,
with a bitter), of field artillery. This detachment may,
therefore, be considered as an advanced guard, which is to
be regularly relieved. The. greatest tranquillity continues
to reign in this capital.

Nov. 2.—The Countess of jersey, i
w.mse coruletY.
we announced the day before yesterday, lodged I.li'latir
month of March last at the hotel of M. de Vos, at 00 the
Being without means to support herself, she set"
nt for
M. lierwyn, of that town, to whom she told in collibimee
the secret connection which she had
wi, a
Captain s she said, with
13 oonaparte on the island of Elba, with Maitl
Ad MOM, her travels in a p
ll arts of the world, and the
huge sums whielt she was to receive in England by virtue
of the soil of the Ex-Emperor. She assured him that,
among othel- things, she Wanted the certificate of
eher
daughter's deat::..., and some other papers, which wer in
the hands of the iii,,id Captain, at Liverpool ; and that, on
producing those paPh,-,5 she would receive the enormous
sums that were beipleathcd to her. ..
On the credit of this statz.ment, accompanied ny t
even
ears,
Al. Berwyn advanced the lady" rt, sum of money, and
gave her a letter of recommudatfort „to a house in Liver-
Pool, i 11 order to go and fetch the paper% which were to
wecuro to htr the enjoyment of it considerable Itiftune• nut'
after a reaktenee of some weeks at Liverpool, the le4y re-
turned without Panel's and ...without money, Fa WI

even borrowed of the persgns to whom she was recom-
mended some pounds sterling, for which she had been
obliged to leave her paper+ pawn. Returning to Os-
tend, M. Herwyn perceived that he had been duped; but
he by no means suspected another trick which the lady
intended to play him. He had in his hands receipts for
the money Which he had lent her, and under the pretext
of procuring him, instead of these: receipts, a regular
deed, she got them into her hands again ; but instead of
giving him another deed in exchange, she decamped from
Ostend , without paying either her landlord or her com-
plaisant lender.
In this state of things she arrived at Ghent in the month
of July, and took up her lodging in the hotel of the Golden
Lion. In order to obtain money, she put in practice the
same means that she Mt& employed to captivate the confi-
deuce of M. Herwyn. She announced herself as the Coun-
tess of Jersey, possessing an immense fortune, pretending
to be connected with the highest personages and the first
houses in Europe. She gave out that she was in expec-
tation of the arrival of Joseph Buonaparte, and even went
to Moorejeur to purchase the chateau which she intended
for him; she desired to hire and to furnish in the most ele-
gant manner, a house in this city
.; and saying that she had
no children living, she promised to leave all her fortune
to him who would have ,the complaisance to advance
her a sum of money in the temporary embarrassment
in which she found hertielf. All this was supported iry
all the charms o eloquence, and a seducing coquetry.---.
Numerous papers, written in a language which few
people understand, were also produced, to give credit
to the part she played. By means of all these ma-,
ncenvres she succeeded in obtitjni Of, from some
g,e?tlemen in the city not only moneyMnt a house richly
famished, with every thing that Vte wanted Ur/lye in the
most splendid style. At length people became convinced
that this woman was nothing but a swindler, who specu-
lated on the good faith of honest persona to cheat them of
money, &c. She was prosecuted by the public Procurator.
Never .was there a more select or a more numerous audi-
tory seen in the Court; indeed, the pleadings and the sen-
tence merited the attention of the public.
The Countess defended herself with imperturbable sang
froid, and her Counsel showed, in an eloquent defence,
that a Man May havegreat talents and lose his cause. The
Judges retired for a long time, and on retnrning into Court
pronounced the sentence of he lady, who seemed, while
she listened to it, maitresse de ses tens et comme arouttimc'e
a de tell jugemens.

COLOMBIA.
(From the Newcastle Chronicle.)

By the last Government Gazette from Bogota, dated
23d of July, we 'observe that Congress have confirmed
the grants of land ceded to General Montilla, and a few
other officers of acknowledged merit. The same liberal
policy has also been extended to some other individuals, who
have rendered important services to the Colombian State :
—Amongst the latter is our much-respected townsman,
Edward Hall Campbell, Esq.,. who has had confirmed to
him a grant of one hundred and fifty thousand fanegadas
(equal to about 900,000 British acres,) of land, in the canton
of Ocano, upon the banks of the celebrated river Mag-
dalena, in the province of Mompos, unquestionably one
of the most healthy and fertile provinces in all Co-
lombia. It is true, Mr. Campbell has been one of
their most zealous friends. He furnished the patriots
with the first ship of war they possessed. The vessel in
question, sailed from this country about nine years ago,
taking with her four companies of British volunteers,
completely equipped as riflemen—several thousand stand
of urms, and a considerable quantity of ammunition and
stores, She was commanded by Captain IL Weatherley
(also of this town), who showed great skill and Manage-
mind in evading the different cruisers then upon the coast
of Colombia, and in safely conducting the vessel into the
Orinoko, to the great joy of the then desponding patriots.
This vessel subsequently bore the flag of the Colombian
Admiral pplon, who was very successful in his einises in
.her against the
,efterny. In the year following e. in
MS), Mr. Campbell dispatched 11 second ship to the Co-
lombian State ; and has, in fart, in a variety of ways,
~,proved himself one of the most firm and zeakins s'epporters
of the rising liberties of the South Americans,
It is, therefore, with sincere pleasure that we notice the
liberal conduct of the government of Colombia towards
those who so, generously came forward to aid and relieve
her, in the days of diflieulty and peril. We may be assured
(and this we would particularly press upon the notice of
the bondholders), that a Government which has shown
such A hatable anxiety to discharge the obligations of gra-
tituder in t4s instances before us, will not be deficentin
