back, being consented to by the French Government.
The Governor of Otaheite, in consequence, dispatched
a vessel to these islands to notify that they were to be
occupied. The protectorate of the Gambier Islands
has also been notified.

The following is the only news of the slightest
interest in the papers
The Constitutionnel publishes the following from its
correspondent at Berne, dated the sth :

" The imprudent decision by which the grand council
of Lucerne has sanctioned the encouragement of the
Jesuits, in spite of the popular repugnance, begins to
bear fruit. The Government of Lucerne, disliked by
the great majority of the population, particularly in the
chief town, is obliged, in order to get itself obeyed, to
have recourse to violent means, which, if they are not
crowned with a prompt success, will only render its
position more critical, if they do not cause its complete
overthrow. Already the first act of the Jesuitical drama
has just been played. According to information received
this morning, an insurrection has burst out at Willisau,
a little town six leagues from the capital. The Govern-
ment had ordered the prefect to arrest some men of the
place known for their opposition to the Jesuits. One
hundred men of the line were called out to give assist-
ance to the authorities, but when the commanding officer
wished to proceed to execute the warrant, the people
raised a riot, and opposed so strong a resistance, that
the officer ordered the troops to fire on the mob. But
the soldiers, far from complying, took part with the
people. At this moment the insurrection threatens to ex-
tend to other localities, even to the capital itself, where the
greater number of the superior officers are hostile to the
Government, on account of its predilection for the Jesuits.
Such are the scenes brought on by the proceedings of
the reverend fathers to force themselves on a population
by whom they are detested."
According to the Constantinople letter of the 20th
ult., in a Vienna journal, RIFAAT PACRA, who was
lately Minister of Foreign Affairs, has been made a
member of the Great Council. SARI:[-EFFENDI, ex-
Minister of Foreign Affairs, is to go to London as
Ambassador in place of AALI-EFFENDI ; and NArr-
EFFENDI, formerly Ambassador to France, to replace
MOUKIITAR BET, Ambassador at Vienna.

A Constantinople letter of the 20th, in the Alms-
burrgh Gazette; informs us that a serious misnnder•
standing had taken place between ABDULLAR PACHA,
the Governor of Trebisonde, and the English Consul
at that place. The Governor, in consequence of some
pique against the Consul, had ordered 2,000 blows
to be inflicted, for some real or supposed offence,
upon a young Greek who was under the Consul's
protection, and the victim had already received 800,
and was almost dead, when the' Consul reached the
spot, and insisted on the remission of the remainder
of the sentence. The letter ad Is, that Sir STRAT-
FORD CANNING has ordered an inquiry into the cir-
cumstances, and declared that if. the Consul's account
should be substantiated, he will demand not only the
dismissal of the Governor, but some signal chastise-
ment.
