EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED PARIS, DEC. 16.
" This moruing-greait changes were expected.,
to appear in the differ4nt branches of Adminis-
tration. The Prefect 6f Police at Paris, the Di-
rector of the Posts„ the Directot of the Customs,
the Director of Police, the Director of Registra-
tions, will all- be changed. These changes will
be followed by the apiidihtment'of new Prefects
in many of the Departments. A change of Minis-
try in France infers a much more extensive
chatige in all the Departments of authority
than in England. From the centralization of
power at Paris, a shock in the Cabinet is felt
through all the gradations of office down to the
Mayor of a village. Directors, Receivers-
General, Prefects, Police-agents, &c., are all
subject to the impulse."

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 10.—The dismissal of
the Reis Effendi, named Bey, was very sudden.
On the night of the Bth he was conducted on
board a vessel, which was to remove him to
Asia. Some persons see ►n this a political event.
They pretend• that' it was this Minister who
caused the rejection of the Russian ultimatum,
and that his fall may be considered as the signal
of a total change in the Ottoman policy. This
change is supposed to have been promoted by
Lord Strangford, who is said to have -made the
Porte sensible of the perilous situation in which,
according to the opinion of some, she stood.
Others assert, that the dismissal of this Minister
is not connected with politics, but is the effect
of one of those personal quarrels which are
very common among the Turkish dignitaries.—
The motive alleged in the order is, indeed, that
he had not performed his duty, but that is
merely the language of office. The real cause
of his disgrace is the serious difference which he
lately had with the Grand Vilir, and which was
occasioned by his haughty manners. His suc-
cessor is a man of between 30 and 40 years, who
has been for some time employed in the depart-
ment for Foreign Affairs. He is well acquainted
with the relations of the. Porte with the other
Courts of Europe. In. this respect his nomination
is agreeable to the diplomatic corps. It is known
with certainty that the Austrian lnternuncio
has received, by a courier which Prince •Met-
ternich despatched to him on the 14th of Oc-
tober, the very day of his departUre for Hanover,
very important orders, which have induced that
Internuncio to demand -a conference from the
Reis Effendi. The interview had not taken place
at the departure of the post, in consequence of
the change which has taken place in the Minis-
try. The most perfect agreement prevails among
the representatives of the European Courts at
Constantinople. The Porte does not seem to
attach much importance to the difference with
Persia. The Divan displays at least great cool.
Hess on this subject.—Every day there are re-
ports of the taking of 13agdad, Erzerum, and
even of Trebizond, but these rumours obtain no
confirmation. Constantinople is 'tranquil. Pre-
parations which are making. render it probable
that the fleet which is now in the Bosphorus will
soon repass the Dardanelles, reinforced by se-
veral large ships which have been fitted for sea.
The fleet has had no action with the Greek fleet.
Wherever they came in sight, the Insurgent ships
avoided battle, in consequence. of the inferiority
of their calibre. All that the European Journals
have reported relative to regular battles is com-
pletely false ; and it is only through these Jour-
nals that accounts of battles have been heard of
here. The Greeks residing at Constantinople
have no trace of any such affairs in their direct
correspondence.
ST. PCTERSBURGH, NOV. 9.o.—The Court Ga-
zette of this city has inserted the following ar-
ticle, taken from a foreign Journal :—" It is af-
firmed that the negotiations between Russia and
the Porte have taken an unfavourable turn ; but
the foreign Ambassadors at Constantinople do
their utmost to remove the new difficulties. The
Divan had at first acceded to the evacuation of
Moldavia and Wallachia, but suddenly changed
its mind. The Ottoman troops i►ithose provinces,
which were on the point of retiring behind the
Danube, not only remain in their positions, but
are to receive considerable reinforcements. It
seems that the Turks, resolved on war, no longer
respect any thing ; and being compelled to adopt
extreme measures, treat as enemies all those who
are not Mahometans. The English alone have
found favour with the Sultan h"

Nov.2l.—An Ukase of his Majesty orders the
establishment of a Consulsbip-General in Per-
sia. The Councillor of State, Wazenko, is ap-
pointed-Consul-General.
NUftEMBEP.G, DEC. 7.—Several Russian Cou-
riers have recently arrived in Germany. It is
thought they are the bearers of important dis-
patches.

M. Charles Gerber has just published a very
important work, intitled, Greece, and its present
struggle; and dedicated it to the Emperor
Alexander.

AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, Drc. 10.—It is affirmed
that a Courier Extraordinary, despatched from
Warsaw, has brought very important dispatches
to Berlin, relative to the affairs of Turkey. The
reports of war gain strength in that capital.
There is a talk of Prussian Corps of Observation
assembling in the Grand Duchy of Posen ; but,
ba that as it may, it is remarked that several
of the most distinguished Prussian Generals are
now assembled at Berlin.

FRANKFORT, DEC. 9.—The cause of Greece
becomes daily more popular in Poland.
It seems that the Persians continue to march
from success to success. They have obtained
possession of Belhs, and threaten seriously Diar-
bekir ; whilst another body of their troops
already occupy Bassora. The Pacha of Bagdad
has marched on Surea to defend the western bank
of the Euphrates.
Other accounts confirm the capture of Erzerum,
and that of Melazherd in Arabia. The Persians
are reported to have conquered Armenia.
FROM PuusstA, Nov. 9.0.—F0r some weeks
past a Committee has been sitting in the capital,
of which the P.rince Royal is President, to dis-
cuss and deliberate on the Constitution of the

Prussian Monarchy. Amon; the members. are 1
the Ministers Pyince Wittgenstein, V. Voss,
Schuckmann, Counsellor Albrecht,' Privy Coon-
sellor Ancillon,..and-Wier tried- Statesmen. This.
Committee sits daily.--It is believed that two
Chambers, that is, a Chamber of Peers, as well
as of Deputies,•will he :iclopted.
ODESSA, Nov. 14.----There are in circulation
here" copies of the Note of Count ,Nesselrode
(containing the Russian ultimatum) to the Reis
Effendi, which was presented some weeks ago to
the Divan. I t May he called a master-piece of
diplomacy. The assertions the II:1s Effendi
are victoriously refuted, not by diplomatic
phra?es or subtleties, but by facts of wbith.the
Porte has latterly been guilty. The demands
.of Russia in Baron Strogonoff's Note of the 18th
July are repeated, and this Note adopted in ge-
neral as the only basis of an arrangement. The
public is already acquainted with Baron Stro-
gonoff's Note, to which Count Nesselrode refers,
and has seen from it that our Cabinet holds a
firm and dignified language, as is becoming, to-
wards the Turks. But the conclusion of Count
Nesselrode's Note is more threatening, saying,
" His Majesty the Emperor, if his pacific propo-
sals were rejected, would be compelled, though
unwillingly, to adopt other measures."
Nov. 20.—The affairs of Turkey .in Asia
become daily more complicated. The Persians
are advancing ; Armenia 'is in a fermentation,
and as if to make that nation take a part,- the
Porte has just had the Armenian 'Patriarch
arrested. He will probably end as the Greek
Patriarch, and his nation then do like the Greeks.
The Reis Effendi, who was removed and sent
into Exile to Asia, was beheaded on the first
day's journey. The \Vechabites are in motion.
The destinies are rapidly fulfilling, its last hour
strikes, and diplomatists are strangely mistaken,
if they think to change the nature of things with
notes and negociations. We are persuaded that
war is inevitable, to restore order in some way
or other. The Servians are said to be likewise
in' insurrection"

Liseos,DEc. 4.--Ilis Majesty has appointed
Captain Francisco Maximilian° de Sousa to com-
mand the vessel (the Don Joao VI.) which is to
go to Brazil to fetch the Crown Prince. •
In the Cortes M. FELGCEIRAS said, he had re-
ceived dispatches from Pernambuco, which were
read; they contain along account of all the events
in that province, signed by all the Members of
the Government, which is calledthe Constitutional
Governing Junta, and of which Luiz de Riego
Baretois the President, to whom the same Junta
gives the highest praise, calling him the sa-
viour of that country. It was accompanied by
above fcrty documents. M. Felgueiras said he
had received other dispatches, which he supposed
to be from Goianna, but that as they were di-
rected " To the Cortes, and to the King," he
had not opened them. It was resolved to open
them, and they are found to be, in fact, from the
Government of Goianna, giving an account of all
that has passed in contradiction to the preceding
statement, calling Luis de Riego the greatest of
despots : it was accompanied by 50 documents.
These, and other papers on the same subject,
were referred to the Committee of the Constitution.
M. CASTELLO BREANO said, he had much au-
thentic information oh this subject, which he
would bring forward when it came under dis-
cussion ; he desired that the Committee might
make its Report as soon as possible, it being ne-
cessary that the vessels going to Rio Janeiro
with troops, and which were to touch at Pernam-
buco, should carry out orders on the subject.
DEC. 6.—The Diario of to-day contains an
order from his Majesty to fulfil a resolution of
the Cortes, to restore the Conde des Arcos to
his entire liberty, it appearing that the supposed
conspiracy imputed to the Count by the Junta of
Bahia was entirely disproved by the documents
produced by the Count, and by the fact that the
Junta stated, that letters had been received from
Rio, from persons whom it did not name, affirm-
ing that the Conde came as a prisoner on board
the brig Trere de Maio, whereas it was evidently
proved, that he came 'to Portugal with his daugh-
ter, with the permission of the Prince Royal.

IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS OF THE UOVERN-
.MENT OF COLUMBIA.

The Government of the Republic of Columbia,
in order to carry into effect the fundamental law
of the State, desiring to obtain the free votes of
the towns which have thrown off the Spanish do-
mination in the South of Quito, to incorporate
them with the Republic, to call their represen-
tatives to the national assembly, and to consti-
tute itself in the face of the world under a
solid and concentrated form, has confided its
powers to Brigadier-General Antonio Jose Sucre,
for the purpose of offering to the Govern-,
rnent and people of Guayaqnil the constitu-
tional law of the Republic as the social compact
of Columbia, of inviting them to a union, or to a
negociatiou, which might hasten that object, and
the most prompt lil.;,ration of the department of
Quito ; and the Superior Junta of Government
of the province of Guayaquil, receiving with sin-
gular satisfaction this honourable invitation by
means.of the Senor Commissioner, whose cre-
dentials and powers given to him by the
President Liberator of the Republic, have
been examined ; being also penetrated with
a full sense of the advantages of the funda-
mental law, of the necessity of uniting this pro-
vince to some of the great associations of South
America, of the convenience which its local situa-
tion presents for intimate relations with Colum-
bia ; and, finally, considering all the circum-
stances of mutual utility which may lead to a
high degree of prosperity, and keeping in view
the Provisional Constitution of the province, have
agreed, after the most mature conferences and
necessary explications, to sign a convention which
shall fix and secure the political existence of the
province, and the guarantee of its rights, on the
bases contained in the following articles :
" 1. The superior Junta of Guayaquil, not being empowered
by the Provisional Constitution to declare the incorporation of
the province with the Republic of Columbia, according to the
fundamental Law, nevertheless engage to make manifest, an
to recommend thz., advantages 'of thatlaw to the Electoral ,Ttiuta
of the Province, as soon as it shall meet, for the purpose of oh,
