BERLIN, DEC. 3.

Letters from St. Petersburgh of 25th November
bring the highly pleasing intelligence that his Ma-
jesty the Emperor is in full convalescence. On the
22d a favourable crisis took place in the situation of
the august patient, and a profuse perspiration had
the most beneficial effect. The fever had entirely
disappeared on the 21st in the evening, and his
Majesty does not even keep his bed.
The following are the most recent Bulletins re-
specting his Majesty's health :
" His Majesty the Emperor has had a very good
night, from half-past ten in the evening till eight
this morning he only awoke once.
" His Majesty's health visibly improvep.

ST. PETERSBURGH, NOV. 23.

Our Journal contains the following :—" His Ma-
jesty the Emperor has received from General Field
Marshal Count Diebitsch Sabalkausky, the intelli.
gence that the exchange of the ratifications of the
treaty of peace, concluded at Adrianople on the 2d
(14th) September, took place on the 16th (28th) of
Oct.,between the pleninoten tiari es of the high contract-
ing powers, and as his Imperial Majesty has already
received the ratification of it by the Ottoman Em-
pire, we hasten to publish the treaty in question,
While this convention, by which the glorious contest
is terminated in a happy and honourable manner, fixes
the boundaries of Russia in Europe and Asia, it se-
cures to the commerce of Russia and to that of the
whole world, the freedom of navigation, which the
interests of all nations have long required ; it opens
to the manufacture and agriculture of all countries
new sources of prosperity, by offering them new
channels for the disposal of their produce, and gives
to our country, by the happy restoration of general
tranquillity, an honourable indemnity for its exer-
tions and many sacrifices."*
The Prussian States Gazette gives the Treaty so

specting the Principalities in the French and German

Iguages.

TIFLIS, NOV.
_5.

A letter from Beiburt, of the 3d (15th) Octo-
ber, says, "On the Ist (13th) of this month, we
received in the Camp, through Lieut. Duhamel, of
the General Staff, the official news of the conclu-
sion of peace between Russia and the Ottoman
Porte. Our corps had already marched from Bei-
burt to Bachor, when it received orders to march
back to Erzeroum, which it began to do on the fol-
lowing day. The Tuiks have received the news of
the peace with inexpressible joy."

The following are extracts from Brussels
Papers of the 9th instant :

BRUSSELS, DEC. 5.

We have received a series of Batavian Journals,
hut they are of older dates than those which we re-
ceived some days ago, and which came down to
the 27th July. These that have come to hand this
morning are from the 6th of May to the 20th June.
They contain four reports of the Governor-General
to the Commissary-General, dated Magellang, the
19th and 20th May, and the 6th and 9th June.
The military operations which they detail are of small

importance.
General de Kock had made a tour of inspection to
visit the military positions in the district of Bo-
gowendo where he found every thing to his satis-
faction. It seems that the auxiliary troops gra-
dually accustom themselves to European discipline.

The Lieut.-Governor-General, in his last report,
says, that the military operations are of small im-
portance, but that he keeps the enemy constantly
on the alert, and that it is to be ascribed to this
activity that several more of Diepo Negoro's parti-
sans have submitted.

WARSAW, Nov. 17.

It is reported here that the Porte has offered to
Russia completely to give up the Principalities, in
return for an entire release from the payment of the
sums stipulated by the treaty of Adrianople, as an
indemnity for the expenses of the war; but it
seems that Russia is not inclined to keep for itself
Wallachia and Moldavia, and that in case this ar-
rangement should be brought about, it would cede
them to Austria, which would, on its side, give up
the whole or part of its Polish provinces, to be in-
corporated with the kingdom of Poland.

FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, NOV. 5.
Several regiments of cavalry have already arrived
at Bacan and Roman to pass the winter.
The Committee of Boyards at Bucharest is still
engaged in the choice of a Hospodar. It seems that
the majority of votes will be in favour of Prince
Ghika.

We received the following from our Paris

Correspondent :

" PARIS, DEC. 8.

44 Two opposite statements are at this moment
n open circulation on the subject of the French

Ministry. The one is, that M. de Villele is to
be entrusted with the formation of a new Ca-

binet, plus pronona, more decidedly royalist
than that of the Prince Polignac. The other,
and as I conceive the more probable statement,
is that a coalition Ministry is about to be form-
ed, with a view to which a variety of lists are in
circulation, one of which gives the Presidency
of the Council to M. de Chateaubriand, the
department of Foreign Affairs to M. de Morte-
mart, that of the Interiori to M. de Martignac,

,he Finances to M. Humann, Justice to M

Roye►-Callard, and the Marine to Admiral de
Rigny. There seems to be a greater difference
of opinion as to the other departments ; that of
Public Instruction is variously ascribed to M.
Vatimesnil, M. Villemain, and M. Debelleyine ;
and that of War to Marshal Maison, Gene-
rals Guillerninot, and Sebastiani. Those
who are more favourable" to the royalist party
give a decided ascendancy in the new Cabinet to
the friends of M. Villele ; but as I cannot believe
that the leaders of the Liberals would consent to
coalesce with their opponents on such terms as
to leave themselves in the minority, or so as to
give to their Royalist Colleagues even a marked
ascendancy in the Council, I have not thought
it necessary to repeat the reports in circulation.

" What is chiefly remarkable at the present
moment, is the altered tone of the Gazette in
regard to several members of the present Minis-
try. A pointed attack was made within these
few days on M. Courvosier, the Alinister of
Justice, who, whatever be the fate of the Ca-
binet in general, it is now tacitly admitted is
certainly to retire. The Drapean Blanc, in-
deed, the extreme ultra Royalist Paper, asserts
that he is to be succeeded by M. Guernon de
Ranville, and that the Abbe Nicolle is to be
entrusted with the portfolio of Public Instruc-

tion ; but it seems, that since the appear-
ance of M. de Ranville at Court, it has
been decided that he has lived too long in the
departments, that his air is awkward and pro-
vincial, and his manners unpolished and un-
graceful. The ladies in short will not believe
that a man can save the monarchy who presents
himself so badly. Even his adversaries admit
that they have nothing else to reproach him
with. Let us hope, they say, that that will
4" suffice. Who knows but that we may be
4" relieved from the Polignac Administration,
" because M. de Ranville does not know how
" to make a bow !'

" The battery which the Gazette has just
opened on M. de Chabrol is of a still more
hostile character. The Minister of Finance has
just created 80,000,000 of Four per Cent.
Stock, in virtue of a law to that effect, passed
in the month of June, 1828, which left it in the

power of the Government to fix the rate of in-
terest, and the other conditions on which the

new loan was to be negotiated. Hitherto, the
Minister of Finance had provided for his extra-
ordinary expellees by the negociation of royaj
bonds, equivalent in their operation to our Ex-
chequer Bills, at the rate of 3 per cent. ; and it
is contended by the Gazette, that there was no-
thing to hinder this state of things from continu-
ing until the approach of the month of June,
when he would be compelled to prepare for their
redemption ; but this, it is said, might then have
been facilitated, by paying off the Five per Cent.
Stock. This official Journal then proceeds in
the following terms :
" We ask, first, why the option has not been
left to the bidders, of determining the kind of

stock in which they wished to make their propo-
sals ? Why should the Government be foreclosed
from the advantages arising from a lower rate of in-
terest, if the bidders had offered it ?
" ' We ask again why the Minister, having the
Three per Cents, at 86, and being easily able to
negociate a loan at least at 80, has thought it ne-
cessary.to create another stock ?
" Finally, we ask, why a Three per Cent. Loan
has not been negociated; since it would, in fact,
have increased the rise of the Threes, and, conse-
quently, have made the extinction of the Fives so
much the more profitable to the Treasury, by making
the Threes approach nearer to par.'
" The Gazette concludes this extraordinary
attack on M. de Chabrol by saying, It is diffi-
cult to account for the motives which have in-
duced the Minister of Finance to injure so many
public and private interests.'
" Whatever opinion may be formed as to this
hard mouthed criticism on the financial pro-
ceeding of M. de Chabrol, it is not easy to
escape the inference, either that that Minister is
to retire, or, as some haVe asserted, that he is to
take a higher place in the coalition Cabinet ; in
which case the Gazette will no longer be the
official organ of the Government. It cannot
be supposed that in the relation in which this
Paper has hitherto stood to the present Ministry,

it would have ventured thus to attack one of its
Members, on the supposition that the Cabinet
remained firmly united, and likely to continue
so. On the supposition that a total change in
the Ministry is not an event to be so imme-
diately expected, it may, I apprehend, be taken
for granted that at least three changes will soon
take place by the retirement of M. Courvosier,
M. dc Chabrol, and General Bourmont. It is
said, indeed, this morning, that preparations for
removal are already in progress at the office of
the War Department, and that General Bour-
mont is certainly to leave it to-morrow.

" A letter of the 2d inst., from Frankfort, on

the subject of the illness of the Emperor Nicho-
las, says—' We have just received expresses
from Berlin, which were sent off on the 30th ult.
with despatches for different mercantile houses,
containing intelligence regarding the health of
the Emperor, of a date two days later than the
last bulletins published at St. Petersburgh.—
This intelligence is alarming. It announces that
the Emperor is getting worse ; that the malady
is a pituitous fever (schelim fiche?), and not
a cold, accompanied by an access of fever, as was
presumable from the bulletins. The same de-
spatches give us the rate of the public funds at
Berlin. All the State paper, which had previ-
ously maintained its ground firmly, had just ex-
perienced a decided fall ; in consequence, the
Austrian Metalliques here have fallen from
1021, buyers, to 1011, sellers. The Vienna
Bank Actions have also given way 14 florins,
and the Bills of the Polish Loan about 2 per
cent. Letters from Antwerp announce the death
of the Emperor, but upon such authority we
conceive no reliance can be placed.'"

A Guernsey Paper, received this morning, says
that the French Government, in order to encou-
rage the Brandy distilleries, have laid a heavy
duty on Foreign Spirits, particularly on British
Rum ; and that they also strictly prohibit the im-
portation of Foreign Tobacco, in order to encou-
rage the culture of their own in Normandy and
Britanny.

Parliament was this day prorogued by Com-
mission to Thursday the 4th of February, then
to meet for the despatch of business. The
House of Commons was represented by the
usual officers.

Despatches were received at the Colonial
Office, this morning, from Sir JAMES LYON,
Governor of Barbadoes, dated 21st of October.
Despatches were also received from the respective
Governors of the whole of the Leeward Islands.

At the Foreign Office there are no arrivals,
except the customary ones from Paris and
Brussels.

Mr. O'CONNELL'S answer to the recent
statements in a Morning Cotemporary, that he
had " huxtered" for a fee with the BERES-
FORDS, appears in our columns of to-day. It
is drawn up with much tact and ingenuity, and
ao far as it goes is satisfactory. But the
publication of the whole correspondence which
took place between Mr. O'CONNELL and Lord
BERESFORD'S agent, on the subject in discus-
sion, is requisite, before a decisive opinion can
be formed. At present, we have only scanty
extracts on the one side, and a partial defence
on the other.

2 COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

The appearance of Miss KEMBLE as Belvidera
last night, before one of the fullest and most enthu-
siastii; houses we ever remember to have seen, may
be looked on as the most memorable era that the
stage has known since the debut of Miss O'NEILL.
The experiment was a bold one, and somewhat
trying to so inexperienced a young lady as
Miss KEMBLE; but we are gratified to add,
that it has been successful in an eminent de-
gree, and that she has passed the ordeal in tri-
umph. In her first scene with Jaffier she seemed
oppressed with a timidity, which at one time we
thought would have cowed her better efforts, but
as the character:rose in interest, her genius rose with
it, and she grappled with its difficulties in a spirit
that old OTWAT would have delighted to honour.
Her first decided hit was in her delivery of
the line, " and blessed the Gods for all her travail
past," which she gave with an energy that elicited
a tumult of applause. Her last words, too, on part-
ing from Jajfier, were characterised by an impas-
sioned tenderness, which nothing but the unerring
instinct of a nature determined to give full play
to its healthy and delicately constituted sensibilities,
for the pathos of Miss KEMBLE, though at times
energetic and even fierce in its expression, is exqui-
sitely feminine and delicate—could have prompted.
Tip repetition of the words and mariner of her hus-
band, when he placed her in the hands of Renault,
had an electrical effect on the audience, such as we
may suppose Mrs. SIDDONS to have called forth
in the best days of her fame. The allusion
too to Brutus and his Portia was equally suc-
cessful, but we could not altogether approve
' of the position she assumed just previous to her
