FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, Jan. 14.)

PARIS, JAN. 13.—We have received from our
correspondent at Vienna the following letter, dated

Jan. 4 :

" A courier from St. Petersburgh, of the 24th of
December, has brought a new declaration of the
Emperor Nicholas to the Allied Courts. His fm-
perial .Majesty declares, that notwithstanding the
new refusal of the Sultan to accept the intervention
of the three Powers, followed by the immediate de-
mand of their passports by the three Ministers, he
desires, nevertheless, according to the treaty of the
6th July,to maintain the peaceof the Continent,and
to wait for the farther proceedings of the two other
Courts. Thus all the reports, spread by the liberal
papers of Paris, that the Russians were to pass the
Pruth immediately after the departure of the three
Ministers, are refuted, and we are here persuaded
that the winter will pass in negotiations. Our bank
shares have risen from 1,029 to 1,044; Metalliques,
89k.

We have a letter'from Trieste, of the Ist January,
which says—
" The last accounts from Corfu, dated the 10th
December, state that Ibrahim Paella is preparing,
in consequence of notice from his father, to return to
Alexandria. Thus the Morea would soon be free,
without a sanguinary war."
..EGINA, Nov. 20.—Commodore Hamilton, in one
of his letters to the Provisional Government of
Greece, treats of the question relative to the Prize
Court established here. He requires the Govern-
ment definitively to make known the code which
guides this tribunal in its judgments. " For," says
he, " up to this day we see sentences founded some-
imes on the English laws, ill interpreted, sometimes
on the French Code. Hence it happens that no
Captain can tell whether, if he is correct with re-
spect to the legislation of his own country, he will
also be correct with respect to this mixed legislation,
which is made to accommodate itself to any case."
.In fact, the Commodore proves that the English
brig the General Brooke was perfectly in order
accordlog to the English legislation, an I that, how-
ever, the court of Egina condemned it as if it had
not been so.
" This adoption of several codes," says he, " can
only he considered in two points of view,--either as
a stratagem, employed by had faith, or as the result
of inexperience: and in both cases it is to be con-
demned."—Oriental Spectator.
The following are the two declarations of the
Creek Government respecting piracy, which we
mentioned yesterday :
" 1. The Representative Committee of Govern-
ment declares, the employment of cruisers was
formerly necessarily considered as an arm by which
we deceived the enemy, but it has become completely
superfluous since the destruction of the enemy's fleet
by the Admirals of the Allied Power g. In conse-
quence, from this•day all Greek ships of war are en-
tirely prohibited from cruising.
" The Commanders of all Greek vessels will be
informed of this, and they are ordered no more to go
on a cruise (mettre en cotiovse), nor to detain in any
manner, nor under any pretext whatsoever, any
enemy's ship.
" The Commanders even of vessels employed in
the blockade are not to go beyond Ole limits pre-
scribed them, nor to detain any ships untie neutral
flags, except such as shall violate the blockade, and
shall be taken in the fact.

" The Maritime Court, appointed to try causes,
is not authorized to decide in future upon any prize,
except such as shall have been made for the violation
of the biockade.

" In consequence, the Government will consider
flrme Commanders who shall dare to act contrary to
the present prohibition as pirates de facto, and will
punish them as such.

" 2. The Representative Commission of Go-
vernment declares,—
" There is no doubt that shameful and scanda-
lous piracy has been from the beginning a scourge
for our folio tv-citizens ; that it has even always ob-
scured the holiness of the struggle of the Greeks, and
much injured the interest of the nation.
" Like the present Government, the preceding
have often publicly declared how much they desired
:to put a stop to this inhuman piracy, and did not
employ against that crime all the measures
which ciiz•umstances permitted; and if they could
not completely attain that object, the cause is to be
ascribed to the old state of things.
" But it is wholly necessary at length to annihi-
late infamous piracy, and to do away with every
thing that may injure cor4rnerce. To effect this ob-
ject the Government has resolved to take the most
energetic measures, and has sent Captain Mikes Ky-
parissi with ships of war, and a military force un-
der his command, to the Archipelago, for the spe-
cial purpose and with full powers to pursue the pi-
rates with all necessary rigour. Orders have been
given by a circular to all the local authorities, to se-
cond on their part this salutary measure.
" Messrs. the estimable Admirals of the three
Powers are at the same time requested to have the
complaisance to grant their co-operation in the de-
struction of this abominabLe piracy.

BUCHAREST, DEC. 18.—A Haul Scherif renews
the orders for levying the military contributions in
the Principalities, and threatens the Hospodars with
the anger of the Sultan, if they any loMger delay to
execute his commands.

We hear nothing from the Russian frontiers. It
appeors that great: military movements are making
in the ,iiterior of the empire, the knowledge of which
it is wisized to prevent being made known abroad;
for, for these three weeks past, the greatest vigilance
is exercised that nothing that passes in the army
may be I:nown abroad.—Augsburgb Gazette.

PARIS, JAN. 12.—A Dew Ninisterial ar-
rangement is in contemplation. It is proposed to add
three Ministers to the present number in the Cabinet.
The Prince de Pouc NAC, M. de la BouunoNsArE, and
M. DELALOT. The principal obstacle appears to consist
in the pretensions of CHATEAUBILIANn, supported by the
Journal des Ddxds. An Embassy has been offered to
CHATEAUBRIAND, and a Direction Generale to BEKTIN
DEvaux, the principal proprietor of the Debuts. Should
this arrangement take place, the Ministry will have at
least the outward appearance of strength, as it will be sup-
ported by the Quotidienne and Journal des Debats, and
their friends, and by M. de VILLELF. and the Gazette de
France; in fact, by all 01.: Royalists, so that it could not
fail to have a majority in the two Chambers. You must
not be surprised at my speaking thus of the support of the
Journals—they govern in this country.
