OpussA, Oc T. the inhabitant of the
town of Odessa are full of joy on account of the
taking of Varna, which had been so long expected.
The more obstinate the resistance was, the more
glorious is the eonque4t. A note written on the
I lth, the same day that the fortress surrendered,
by Count Nesselrode to Lord Heytesbury, the
British Ambassador Extraordinary who had re•
maked here, made the public acquainted with this
surrender of one of the most important bulwarks of
the Ottoman empire. It is also reported that Omer
Vrione had no ,Iteruative but to surrender, or to
fall bark on Shumla.

The members of the Diplomatic Body who had
sailed from this port for Varna, entered the road of
the latter place during the negociations with Je'-cui
and thus were witnesses of the triun ei
our brave troops, to whom the Emperor teas ex-
pressed his gratitude in a special Order of the Dad•,

PARIS', NOV. 3.—The Peloponnesus is in the
power of France, and this glorious conquest is due
entirely to the policy which conceived and the skill
which directed our expedition to the Mores. The
General who commanded has, by his courage and
his talents, with the powerful assistance of our navy,
overcome the obstacles that were opposed 'to his
proceedings. ne has done better ; his decision and
prudence have saved us from a war with Turkey.
The Divan has shewn, as we must acknowledge,
great wisdom and admirable political foresight. En-
gaged in a contest with Russia, of which the issue
will decide her existence, it did not wish to aggra-
vate the evils of its position and divide its forces; it
did not wish to add us to its enemies. France is
DOW very imposing, being free from any embarrass-
ment which might involve her with any of the lad-
ligerent Powers. After having liberated a people
-worthy of its protection, she can effectually interfere
to restore p. ere and preserve that equilibrium of
reciprocal forces which is its guarantee. Her army
of the Etat, which her military condition will allow
either to recall or reinforce, must exereiee a direct
influence un the events and negociations which the
winter will bring forward. We can, therefore, only
congratulate the King's Government. It is rising
;f1 the. estimation of France and of Foreign countries;
and the beloved iklhnarch, whose people are now
eelebreting his birth-day, ohteins a fresh proof of the
Divine protection. Coestitutional order, of which
he consolidate the basis and developes the principles,
secures for his ancient and august dynasty a lung
curl glorious future. The indestructible • union be-
tween the Prince awl his subjects promises to our
posterity happy days, and to Europe many years of
peeoe. France thus by her gratitude rewards the
army and navy, which have di•played such generous
emulation to accomplish the honourable mission the
Ring has confided to them.
France possesses illustrious men of letters formed
ie its capital, which is like a large reservoir, collect-
ing all the knowledge of the provinces. Unfortu-
nately, the capital has not yet learned how to return
to the erovitaces a part of the benefits derived from
them, by communicating to them a knowledge of the
Parisian eeienees. What reaches Paris remains
:absorbed in it, which is the great inconvenience in
public education as in other matters. The literary
man formed in the previtices g:nerally remains a
little below the actual state of present knowledge.
He is ignortnt of the age, and persists in his ancient
methods. A Normal school, which should develope
;she talents of yotsee men in the capital, and make
them aretuainted with shat accumulation of literary
treasure which is continually augmenting in Paris by
contributions from every quarter of the globe, is
therefore needed by the country, and is a well-timed
inetitntine. Cridoubtedly, our anatomists keep I
pare with foreign anatomists, if they do not pre-
e
de them ; our natural philosophers are justly eels-
et
i,ratee. We have distinguished astronomers. and ma•
thematicians ; the iilustrioue La Flare has not carried
with him to the tomb all superiority; our physi-
cians possess a well-merited reputation ; rosily, we I

the development of arts and industry, for We inclnde
Ibis in the course of public instruction, which is
done in no other country. We must avow, how-
ever, without fear, because we are sure the breach
still be repired whenever it is pointed out, that we
yet need mach, in several respects, to reach the
level of Germany. Our jurisprudence is at fault ;
where are our Cujas and Inimoulins ? I say juris-

capitulate, four fortresses are carried at the point of

who take and those who lose places. Among the

a power engaged in serious quarrel with the Porte,
but it is sufficient to be placed near the other. two
to ensure it their pacific character. A thick veil yet
rovers the secret causes of these events. Since I he

fortresses, rather than commit any hostilities against
I them ? Are such proceedings characteristic? Have
not the Turkish Commandants rather treated with
the F..ropean Ambassadors and Generals, and have
they not heen initiatei by diplomacy in the doctrine
of passive resistance '? They refuse to deliver up the
places ; they desire to he compelled ; they place
themselves on their ramparts to see their gates bat-
tered down, and their walls escaladed; and :satisfied
by these formalities, they give tip their eharge, taking
care to draw up a document that every thing was
done in order. At Coron, however, the 'Finks
committed a slight act of violence, but they took
care not to use their muskets; they threw some
stones, which led to no results. I. seems that these
garrisons only wished to surrender according to rule.

LISBON, OCT. 18.—(Private Correspondence.)—
All the official persons connected with the former
Spanish Embassy have just ostensibly resumed the
exercise of their functions, and continue regularly to
receive their pay. Count Casa Flores, son of the
late Ambassador, now holds the place of First secre-
tary to the Legation.
The last letters tt.Jfil Elvas confirm the news, that
every day Spanish troops are arriving on the line
of Badajoz, and that those troops are making move-
;Jams which are suspicious.

The fearful mania of arrests has been displayed
for s►ome days past, with more activity than ever.
Agents of the police are placed at the corners of the
street, to watch and follow the passengers, and listen
to what they ray.
Yesterday a decree, containing four article.; of
" King Miguel, our Master," was post ed up to aroc-
lerate and regulate the operation of the immense
confiscation of the property of persons prosecuted for
the crime of fidelity and patriotism.

11 The Official Gazette having at length been forced
to announce, in the number of yesterday, the arrival
of DOnna Maria 11. at Falmouth, the journal of the
Usurper has made this singular observation on that
subject—" Thus the Palmi:ilia faction have been able
to deceive the conductors of the Princess, and to
induce them not tocontinue their journey to Genoa,
whither the persons appointed by the Emperor of
Austria had proceeded to await her Highness. Pal-
mella has by this proceeding outraged his Sovereign.
Sethi the two Leaders of the Anti-Portuguese
Faction will receive the fruits of their infamous
intrigues."
We are assured that the Governmeut of the
Usurper has just learned that the Emperor Don Pe-
dro had appointed a Regency, composed of seven
Members, and which well be charged with support-
ing the rights of his daughter as Queen of Portugal,
until she comes of age.
Don Miguel having learned that M. Ximenez,
Bishop of Monte Video, who accompanied the
young Queen to Europe, was proceeding to Rome,
to procure from the Si;overeign Pontiff, in the same
of Doe Pedro, the aim ~!ing of the alliance of his
daughter Donna Maria da Gloria with Don Miguel,
hes had recourse to the Cabinet of Madrid, that by
the inte,v;:ntion of M. Labrador, the Minister cf
Spain at the Court of Rome, he might make the
greatest efforts to prevent M. Ximenez from succeed-
ing in his mission. The Spanish Cabinet has just
intimated to Don Miguel, that orders had been ilk-
patched to the Chevalier Labrador on that subject.
It appears that the intention of the Usurper is to
gain

It is said that Don Pedro has announced by a cir-
cular, addressed to all :%linisters and Charges d'Af-
faires at Foreign Courts, the mission with which he
has charged Bishop Ximenez, udding, that he for-
mally opposed himself to the marriage in question.
PARIS, Nov. '2.—REGESERATIOti OF 1112
NISTRATIvN.—if there is a fact to be proved to de-
monstration, it is the necessity under which the
Ministry finds itself placed, of regenerating an Ad-
ministration, created for the advantage of the coun-
ter-revolution, and which will never second with
zeal and openness the Constitutional system. it
ought to perceive, that if the course of affairs is
embarrassed—if society is not peiferriy assured of
the establishment and maintenance of the legal order,
it must he attributed to the pregerwe of the agents
of the ancient regime, who still occupy t,ll the places
of the Administration. Nothing is changed in the
Departmenta, where a calculated power of inertness
is opposed to every attempt at amelioration.
The faction still governs France by its agents, and
every thing remains in a state of fearful immovabi-
lity. The plans of public utility, every thing which
tends to the general prosperity, and particularly to
the instruction of the citizens, is rejected with a I
degree of perseverance which nothing discourages.
So Lin; as the faction shall remain master of the }
Adminiwation, it will preserve the hope of re-
placing
us under the veke from which the energy of
the Constituticnal Electors would have delivered
us, if the present Ministry had seconded the na-
tional wish.

It iR now out of doubt thA without our glorious
expedition, in the true sense of the eypre.:sion,
Ibrahim would ant have evacuated the Pe!open-
nesus ; but, according to the method, of the Turks,
would have nepciated, in onlet to gain time and
complete the destruction of Greece. The sight of
the French flag has determined his departure; it is
quite a pacific victory, which will hold an honour-
able place in the memory of nation!.

a bank at the west end of the town of Dornoch, called
Torran 'Roy, a I irge part at it suddenly fell upon one of
several children who were amusing themselves near the
spot at the time. It was not known at first who was the
sufferer; but a number of people having collected, th
body of a fine girl, daughter of the occupier of the mail--
coach receiving house, was dug out. Although medical
aid was plomptly procured, all effi;rts to restore animation
proved in, fl'ec•ual. The state of the agonized parents may
I,: imagined, but cannot be described.—lrtrerncsa Journu!.

NOLLEKENS, though usually so near, had his
fits of liberality. When applied to by Mr. TURNER, the

" Only a guinea," was the answer ; upon which tile sculp-
tor immediately opened a table-drawer, and gave Mr.

LONDON.
!THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, IP.Q6.

Letters received at Havre from Rio de Janeiro,
dated the .'";e.d September, bring accounts that the
squadron under Admiral It ottsslN had put to
sea again, after having completed the object of
their voyage in a manner as spirited as it was
decisive. The French are certainly most ad-
mirable diplomatists, infinitely superior to us, and
for this reason, that they never trouble them-
selves with the grand notions of magnanimity
which haunt. the generous mind of John Bull in
all his dealings with foreign nations. A French-
nan is not ashamed to acknowledge that the
glory of his nation consists in looking to self-
interest, while an Englishman affects to feel the
interest of others as well as his own, and is too
often taken at his word, to the great benefit of his
neighbours and his own private mortification.
But there is " magnanimity" in this, notwith-
standing, and that is a great consolation.

By the French Papers we are glad to perceive
that Mr. flusx ISSON Lad arrived in Paris, reno-
vated in health and constitution.

The c:aptur© of Varna has diffused great joy
at Odessa ; Lord HEYTESBUTtY had the un-
pleasant honour of first telling the news. The
success of the French arms in Greece is received
by the French people with the liveliest satisfac-
tion, and it is eulogise4.l by the Journals in terms
of pride and triumph, while due honour is paid
to the 31ini.stry for having originated the enter-
prize.

The Nuremburg Correspondent of the 30th

Russian army in Poland, amounting to nearly
80,000 men, which is stationed along the
Southern Frontier, to be prepared either for de-
fence or aggression, as the case may requize:---
