Amongst our extracts will be found some curious
kservatiens on Mr. CANNINes entertainment at the
Thuiaeries, to which we have before alluded.
The astonishment of the Parisian public, at this
;rent, appears to have been heightened by the circum-
tance that on the day that this Statesman dined with
he KtNG, he breakfasted with a manufacturer at. St.
)tieti ! The Papers admit, however, that it is the
plendid renown of our distinguished Statesman which
'as thrown down the barrier which hitherto, with
;carcely an exception but that of the Duke of WEL-
ANGTON, has excluded subjects from sharing the en- •
enaitanents of the, table with a King of France.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 18.
SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL.
Sitting of 17th October.
K'lo the ballot for three Members to be proposed to the
for his Majest to choose one to be President of the
Chamber for this Session, the choice fell on M. Reyphius,
Crombrugghe, and M. Sandberg.
~At the commencement•of this sitting a decree of his
a esty was read, who, by virtue of article 84 of the Fun-
atattatsl Law, authorises the President to receive the oath
r
M. de Bousies, elected by the province of Hainault.
:The President, however, declared that he had not re-
""td any papers from that gentleman, so that his ad-
14ift"10n is deferred.
A constitutional question arises (says Le Beige) on the
sjmishibility of M. de Bousies. The Bth article of the
FGundamental Law says, that to be a Member of the States
enrwral, " a person must be born in the kingdom or its
I';'°ftjes, or in a foreign country, of parents settled in the
vHg""rn, during a temporary absence on the public ser-
,!"''' Now it appears from the certificate of baptism,
,rd by M. de Bousies, the father, that he was a French
Frl',lject living in France, and a member of the estates of
'7OOl Hainault
In the Q. *

lot Put Ugh Papers arrived last night, by which we hut, P h
to ossession of intelligence from, St. Peters-
fig te 7th inst. inclusive, from Stockholm to

the Gth, an trom Harnburgh to the 18th. In conse-
quence of the bad produce of the harvest in Sweden
a reduction on the duty on the importation of grain
has been made. The following are the only extracts

worth giving
ST, PEtiatlntinutt, OCT. 4.—Their Imperial Majesties
titre txpected here between the 17th and 21st of this
month. In the course of this week they will take a journey
from Moscow to the Convent of Troizk, 180 wersts (120
miles) from that, to be present at a solemn thanksgiving.
Extensive and splendid preparations are making here for
the reception of their Majesties.
Letters from Revel say, that in consequence of the great
heat a very destructive distemper bad broken out among
the cattle, and provisions are become extremely dear.
OCT. 7.—The Mingrelian Prince Taral Dadian has re-
ceived from the Emperor the insignia of the Order of St.
Anne of the first class in diamonds, accompanied with a
very.gracious autograph letter to the effect that " His Ma-
jesty considers this mission as a new proof of the fidelity
and attachment of, the Mingrelian reigning family, and
wishes them to be assured of his special favour."
In order to check the Persians in their advance from the
side of Erivan, the Saudar of which is still inactive, and to
favour the operations of our troops, a redoubt \has been
erected by order of the Commander of our corps in the
steppe of Lory.
STOCKHOLM, OCT. 6.—ln consequence of the very un-
favourable reports received by the Government respecting
the produce of the late harvest, his Majesty has ordered a
reduction of the import duty on foreign grain. By this
ordinance oats are wholly exempt from duty; barley to pay
a duty of 32 schellings banco; and pease one rix dollar
banco. No difference is to be made in the duties whether
the importation is made in foreign or Swedish ships. The
ordinance remains in force till the Ist of June, 1827.

The Court returned on the day before yesterday, ,from
Drotningsholm, to reside in the capital for the winter.

Russia) is approaching, M. Minziacky has already fixed
the time for his departure, in case the answer of the Porte
should not prove satisfactory, and he made the same pre-
parations as on the occasion of the preceding ultimatum.
The Greeks at Constantinople seem to consider the

tially injurious to the Porte.

The Journal of St. Petersburgh, of the 7th in-

interesting to'scientific.readers

ST. PETERSBURGII, OCT. 6.
Last July M. Menge, a foreign mineralogist, who is
travelling in Siberia discovered, near lake Ilonen, eight
versts from Miask iireon, a granite-like mass formed of
Albite, Mica, and Hornblende. He has sent these speci-
mens to the misseura of the Corps of Cadets of the
mines ; one of them is on the bed; the two others de-
tached, and are distinguished, one by its extraordinary
size, and the other by its regular chrystallization and its
splendour.
A letter from Odessa, of 10th September, gives an ac-
count of an Aerolite, which fell on the estate of Madame
Serbinoft in the Government of Ekaterinoslaw, and in the
district of Pauloguad. On the 19th May some labourers,
working in the fields at noon, heard a noise which seemed
to come from the clouds, and continued to increase, till it
ended in a loud explosion.. At the same time they saw
heavy body descending rapidly, the fall of which was ac-
companied by a flash of light. It was about 20 fathoms
from them. On going to the spot they found a stone,
Which, in falling, had rising the earth to the height of two
arsheens, and made a hole 1 arsheen in depth. On the
day when the phenomenon took place, the sky was slightly
clouded, the air calm, without any storm or rain. The
stone weighs two ponds its colour is a very dark blue,
approaching to black : the surface has some small cavities,
'and in general the external appearance
,much resembles
that of an agglomeration of sand.

If we can credit the following accounts from Greece,
the Greeks have gained a complete victory over the
Seraskier ; indeed, this goes. far to confirm the ac-
counts previously received with reference to the same
battle :

VIENNA, OCT. 11.
The Amtrian Observer, of this date, gives an extract
from the Napoli Gazette of the 26th of August, contain-
ing an account of the events before Athens ,on the 20th of
August, which, says the Austrian Observer—" Though
the Greeks in a rather singular manner claim the victory,
entirely confirm the accounts of the result of the action
given in our Paper of the 25th of September."
" The boasting Seraskier, says this Greek account,
wished to make up for his defeat on the 18th, and being
encouraged by the arrival of Omer Pacha, marched against
our troops with a large body of infantry and 2000 cavalry.
The battle began about sun-set, and continued the whole"
day with great exertions on both sides; but the enemy,
though superior in number, with numerous cavalry and artil-
lery, could not drive our troops from their position. The
commanders. themselves say there has not been such
a battle .since the beginning .of the war. The Greeks,
though inferior in the number and quality of their troops,
being without cavalry, and having only four small cannon,
two of which broke down and became unserviceable, en-
tirely defeated the enemy, who, without exaggeration,
had above 1,200 killed, and undoubtedly more wounded
in this action, while we had not above 70 killed and
wounded. The distress of the enemyis not to be described,

MS.

Although so confident an expectation was entertain-
ed towards the close of the last week, that Mr CAN-
NING had made great advances towards the arrange-
ment of a commercial treaty, on principles of recipro-
city, between this country and Franco, we find nothing
in the latest French Papers which warrants this ex-
pectation, and the information which we have received
from our own correspondent in Paris, leads us to form
a decided opinion that Mr. CANNING'S endeavours to
accomplish so desirable an object have altogether failed.
However liberal in his own principles, and however
anxious he may be to adopt in commercial intercourse

those principles, which, if fairly acted upon, would
contribute to the advantages of both countries, M.
VILLELE has to contend not only against the preju-
dices of the nation generally, but against the opinions
of many of his own colleagues, who openly avow the
most decided hostility to measures from which they con-
ceive France would derive no benefits which she does

not already enjoy under the commercial regulations of
England, while this country would benefit by the
admission into France of her manufactures. They
contend, too, that however founded on principles of
reciprocity any Treaty between the two countries
might be, its operation would be almost exclusively to
the advantage of England, from the greater variety and
larger quantities of articles of her produce, which would
be taken by France, than we should take in return,
and the balanfe of trade would thus be greatly turned
against her. In this latter argument there may be some
weight, but the injurious effect to France would be but
of short duration, for as the sale of our manufactures in-
creased, the demand for articles of luxury and convenience
from France would increase likewise, and thus the
mutual interests of the two countries would go hand
in hand.

If, however, M. VILLELE should not find himself
strong enough to resist the arguments of his colleagues,
and the prejndites of the French nation in favour of
their present Commercial Re'gulations, in respect to
British produce, the question of Free Trade, as be-
tween this Country and Fiance, will stand on' very
different grounds from those on which it has at pre-
sent rested ; and we have little doubt, that Mr. CAN-
NING and Mr. HUSK tssoN will adopt, on the meeting
of Parliament, such measures as will convince France

that the loss of the present advantages in her trade
with England must be the consequence of her unwise
and illiberal policy.

The following is an extract of a lettt.r just received
front a very intelligent Gentleman in Cadiz, dated
Sept. 21, and will be read with interest :

Any intelligent.. transmitted from a city like Cadiz, must be, in
a great degree, local ; because, there being no liberty of the press
in this unhappy country, and no safety in private communica-
tions, it is extremely difficult to ascertain what is really passing in
other parts of Spain ; and we look with great anxiety, I assure
you, for the arrival of the Packet every month, from whirls we
glean a little of Spanish affairs.
It would seem that the French are likely to continue their oc-
cupation of this part of Spain; it had been resolved to withdraw
a considerable portion of them from this neighbourhood, two-
thiids at least; and the recruits destined to complete the regiments
which were short of their complements by reason of the number
of discharged soldiers every year, were retained in France; they
ought to have been here, in the regular course of things, early last
spring. Orders have, however, been issued by the French Go
vernment to send them to their regiments here.

The corvettes La Vesuve, L' indefatigable, and the
have arrived with different detachments, and ate returning to
France for mote. The only French frigate on this station, La
Belles., is ordered for the like purpose to Rochfort ; the French
naval station, will, in the absence of this frigate, be commanded
in the meantime by a Lieutenant. This not only proves a change
in the determinations of the French Councils, but augurs an
anxiety to carry the measures into prompt execution.
The French force at Cadiz, at the Isla, Port St. Mary's, and
St. Lucia, may be estimated at almost eleven thousand, when the
regiments are complete; commanded by Lieut.-General Viscount
Guden, consisting of three brigades, commanded by Major-Gene-
rals Count de Castellane, Major-General Monson, and Major-Ge-
neral Sousbril. General C.astellane's brigade, stationed at Port
St. Mary's, Chielane, and St. Lucia, consists of the 13th and
14th Lancers, two. troops of florae Artillery, and the 9th Light
Infantry. General Monton's brigade, stationed at the Isla, con-
sists of the 15th, 34th, and 36th Regiments of the Line. Major-
General Souabril's brigade consists of the 20th, 27th, and 35th
Regiments of the Line at Cadis. These brigades change quarters
every four =mho. There is, moreover, at Cadiz and the Isla
about 1,200 Artillery and Engineers.
The French naval force consists, at present, of La Bellone frigate,
the Baron tie St. Priest, of two brigs of 16 guns, conunanded by
Lieutenants, and several smaller brigs and schooners, which are
chiefly employed in the Sanitary.eervice, and which return to
France when that service is over, in the month of November.

The character and conduct of the troops, &c. &c. are Very
praiseworthy.

PAPAS, OCT. 20.--Accouets hare this clay been rewired of
the return of the squadron under Admiral Laborde to Havannah,
after encountering a violent gale; several of the frigates disniaet.
ed, one frigate missing, and the Admiral's ship considerably da.
rugged. Fears are entertained for the Deux Freres, Lonat, which
sailed from Port-au-Prince the end of July, for Havre.

We are sorry to announce the death of Mr. Alex.
Annandale, surgeon, Mr. Sp.ring,_ midshipman, and
one of the seamen of the Herald yacht, They left
