FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS
(Prom► the Gazette de France of Wedncillay.)

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 27.—8 y the arrivals of
provisions from Egypt and Syria, we are secured for
some time against want. The Sultan has sent
orders to all the Paellas in Asia to send provisions
to the capital by land. At the same time a firman
has been published, forbidding opulent persons
from laying in a great stock of provisions.—
It is even supposed that the order to quit the city,
given to the foreign Greeks and Armenians, may be
in the sequel extended to all the Franks. The
Russian fleet, which is at Tenedos, is accompanied
by a swarm of Greek privateers, whose excesses
will again bring ruin upon the commerce of the
several neutral nations: Nothing could be more
agreeable to the Divan at this season, for there is no
doubt that this abuse will give rise to collisions be-
tween► the European Admirals.
The pacific party in the Divan continues its efforts
to increase the Lumber of its partisans, but the Sul-
tan remains immoveable in his resolutions. A
Mollah of the Ulemas had ventured to present a
memorial to him on the present state of the Empire,
advising him to enter into negociations for peace.
The Sultan, after having read the memorial, banished
the Mollah to Asia, but sent the document to a
Committee of the Divan to examine it. Since that
time several assemblies of the Divan have been held
upon this subject. It is remarkable that the Sultan,
whose intentions do not appear to change, should
yet have honoured the opinion of the pacific party
with such a distinction.

The Ex-Grand Vizier Galib Pacha, who has en-
deavoured to justify himself from the accusltions
made against him by Omer Vrione, and by the new
Grand Vizier, has excited the pity of the Sultan,
after having been the object of his anger. He has
sent him .50,000 piastres for his subsistence. It is
supposed now that his head is in no danger.
Besides the vessels laden with corn which have
arrived from Alexandria, two have arrivei from the Cr-
imea. Two others, from Odessa, had only a small
quantity of me....chAndi!eLlnil v:oril. A ;fifth has brought
iron from Taganrog.

PARIS, Dec. 30.—What is the rseaning, at pre-
sent, of the e-erds " Aristocracy" and " Demo-
cracy" ? The former means the great Lords—but
where arc they ? They no longer exist, and there-
fore they must be created. It will, however, be
difficult to bring forth, from oblivion, what the pro-
gress of society has buried there. Among us there
exists a numerous clans, peaceable, rich, and en-
tightened sufficiently not to expose themselves to lose
what they possess,by revolution—industrious enough
not to envy others the riches they possess—and as far
distant from the proud pretensions of the feudal
Aristocracy as from the jealous passions and ca-
prices of either ancient or modern Democracy.
There are the citizens—the middle class, who—
by their spirit of order and wisdom, by their attach-
ment to the laws, by their mild and modest manners,
by their intelligence and their labour, consti-
tute the strength of modern States, and particularly
of France. It is they who, at the time when the
Royal authority was at issue with feudal anarchy,
and seeking support for its tottering throne, held it
tip by their power. It is they who, by their fidelity
to the old family' of our Prince, defeated the bold
projects of the Guises, the Mayenees, and of so
many other great eild powerful Lords. The mob
were bribed, the nobles were hired, the monks were
attached by privileges or persecutions ; but what
floes a citizen need more than his family and his
trade ? Nothing but order, law, and-epecce. The
middle classes, we admit, did not stop the Revolu-
tion ; but being themselves at that time the growth
of yesterday, as it were, what could they do in that
horrible convulsion but remain near the King, defend
him, or perish ?
The Minister of the Interior, by the advice of a
Committee of the Institute, has nominated the ea-
titralists, artists, and others who are to form the
expedition to the Morea. They are to leave 'Tou-
lon in a ship of war in the beginning of January.
In ail there are seventeen of them, divided ilea
three parts; each having a director, and they will
act in concert when necessary for the a.l..entage
of
science, and all will be guided by detailed instruc-
tions, drawn up by the Royal Academy of Paris.
At present we know little more thee the coasts of
the Peninsula, and it is in the districts almost un-
known, or little visited, and that nay now be
visited, where researches may be made and results
obtained, that cannot be devoid of interest. Thus
the project which was formed a few weeks ago is
now realized, and all the necessary measures are
taken that the travellers shall suffer no delays, and
meet no obstacles to their operations.

PARIS, DEC. 30.—Three gend'armes have been
accused of violating the dwelling of a peasant, in the
Commune of Viliemur. They saw him up in a tree
with a gun, killing the birds that came to devour
his grain, and they pursued hira into his own house

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2, 1829.

If we may believe the following article, the

Russians are not likely to have an easy time of

it in Varna.

On the 30th November some

severe actions were said to have taken place, in

consequence of the Turks attempting to drive

.he Russians from their positions. The result

is variously stated :—but we suspect the whole

will turn out to be a mere fiction, for the weather,

which alone compelled the Russians to quit the

field of -action would surely have dealt out equal

severity to the Turks.

There is no royal

road to propitiate bad weather any more than

to mathematic—and the snow storm or fog-

Frost which has benumbed Russian enterprise

will not Tolerate Turkish adventure. Besides the

Turks are more out of their element in stormy

weather than the Russians, who are chiefly

born and bred amid the inclemen4 of the sea-

sons. Hot weather in Russia is more insuffer-

able than cold.

The reported loss of the vessel bearing away

the Russiam trophies from Varna, has been

main revived ; and to add to the interest of

the tale, the ship is sent to sink With her
cargo in a Turkish bad•. But this is not all—

the writer had an eye to poetical justice,
and accordingly made the ship run foul of

another Russian vessel, when both went down

together ! This retribution appears so very

Turkish that we think the ships and trophies are
safely beyond their reach. The pON% er of vengeance

could no farther go :

JASSY, DEC. 1?.

Report is just spread here that on the 30th Nov.
there Nrcre some severe actions in the environs of
Varna, when the Turks are said to have made an
attempt to drive the Russians from their positions.
With respect to the issue of these actions, the most
conflicting reports are in circulation, some giving
the victory to the Russians, and some to the Turks.
Another report which has been circulated here on
the authority of letters from Odessa, is that the Rus-
sian ship which had oa board the twelve cannon
taken in Varna (and which were intended for the
monHment of King Wladislaus at Warsaw) with many
other trophies from Varna, had been driven, in a
violent storm, towards the Gulf of Bourgas, when it
ran foul of another Russian ship, that had been
likewise driven thither, and that the shock was so
violent that both ships went to the bottom, and
every soul on board perished. We hope that this
news, if not wholly unfounded, will prove at least to
be greatly exaggerated.
CONSTANTINOPLE,. NOV. 25.

From the I I th to the 25th November, 43 ships
have arrived. Of these 26 were Austrian, of which 14
were from Alexandria, and one from St. Jean d'Acre,

with corn ; one Neapolitan, from Tchesme, with
fruits ; 10 Sardinian, of which onig was from Caffa,and
one from Alexandria, with corn; three Englisl►, ono
from Alexandria, add one from London, with mer-
chandise, and one from Candia, with iron; three
lonian, with fruits.

The injurious effects of the present system of
Game Laws is every day more and more deve-

loping itself. Armed gangs of poachers, it
seems, traverse the country in every direction ;
and with so little personal apprehension that in

one or two instances they hare actually had the
effrontery to go up in a body and challenge the

gamekeeper in front of their master's house,—

almost, indeed, his very nose. Really, this calls
aloud for correction, for the deep enlarged cor-
rection, of the existing Game Regulations.—
These last are evils, which should be looked to

before, in consequence of Tome aggravated enor-

mity growing out of them, they cannot find their
own level and correct themselves. Akin to the

Game Laws in absurdity is the conduct of the
Government with regard to subjects for dis-
section ; though we have little doubt, from the

imperative necessity of the case, these will he
among the very first objects of attention to the

Government in the ensuing Lession. But

surely it is the best way to take time by the

forelock, and not wait until the very enormity

of a nuisance has enforced its own remedy

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, Trriurs o' G'Loc.m.

Business in the English Funds appears to be re-
duced to the most limited scale, and two-thirds of
the Brokers hare no other employment but com-
plaining of the want of speculation. Consols epened
at 87, lather buyers, and hare continued nominally
the same the whole of the morning, not a bargain
having been noticed ; the Commissioners bought Re-
duced at 86i. Exchequer Bills are 67 9, and
India Bonds, 68 70 pm.; should these securities
sustain a further decline, it is probable it may hare
a good effect on Stock, by the sellers vesting the
produce in the Funds, under the present existing
circumstances.

If possible there is still less doing in the Foreign
Funds; Brazilian Bonds are 64; Port ugue,e, 531 ;
Russian, 9b 4. Shares remain without either busi-
ness or fluctuation.

The accounts from Monte Video or the 4th of
October vie France, state that the blockade of the
Rrer Plate was raised on the 2d of the same month,
and a number of French vessels were on the point
of sailing for Buenos Ayres. No further accounts
have been received of the fugkive Banker, Mr.
Stephenson, and little doubt is entertained that he
has planned his escape too well for the supineness
with which his apprehension seems to have been
conducted.

A meeting of the Catholic Association took
place on Tuesday last, at which Mr. O'Connell after ex-
pressing his regret that the Mission to Englund had been
discontinued, alluded to some calumnies that had been
lately circulated against him, and concluded by observing,
that the negociations between the British Government,
and the Pope ?sad been resumed through the medium, as
he:Mr. O'Connell understood, of the Duke of Buckingham.
THE NORTHERN' LIG HTS.—A singular mo-
dification of the aurora borealis was observed in the vici-
nity of this town, in a northerly direction, on Friday even-
ing last. It wore the appearance of a broad belt of pale
but vivid light, the segment of an immense circle, extend-
ing from the N.E. to the N.W. quarter of the heavens, at
about 25 degrees from the horizon, where its elevation was
greatest. Beneath the belt the sky was intensely dark, and
above it of a eh:at bright starlight, and the stars could be
seen in some places twinkling through the glow of light
that formed the belt. The appearance continued from
about six o'clock in the evening till nearly seven, without
any change of form; but getting inure faint, it at last
faded from the view altogether.—Hall Packet.
