(From the Gazette de France, July 12.)
" CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 15.—1 t had been known
for several days that M. de Ribeaupierre had demanded his
audiences; but the commander of the port having caused
the Russian flag to be taken down from a vessel the papers
of which did not appear to him to be regular, and having
caused it to be sent to the Ambassador, that Minister made
serious complaints on the subject, and demanded satisfac-
tion, declaring, that if the Russian flag were not replaced,
he Would not accept his audiences. The satisfaction de-
manded was given, and the audiences of the Grand Vizier
being fixed for the 7th, that of the Sultan was fixed for the
12th or the 14th at the latest. People were not a little
surprised on learning that the declaration of the Porte,
declining the proposals for the pacification of Greece, had
been delivered to the Ambassador and to the other Minis-
ters two days after the audience of the Grand Vizier. How-
ever, the solemn audience of the Sultan took place yester-
day. 'the Ambassador could not have excused himself
from going without violating all the forms of etiquette, and
assuming a decidedly hostile position.—Augsburg Gazette.

PARIS, JULY 11.—The schooner brig La Railleuse
sailed from Brest on the 6th inst. It is sent to inform the
Captains of French vessels employed in the Newfoundland
cod fishery, that France has declared war against the Dey
of Algiers, and those among them who have to return to

the convoy of one of his Majesty's ships.
" Letters from Odessa of the 24th of June say, that ac-
cording to recent accounts, which have still need of con-
firmation, peace is ou the point of being concluded between
Persia and Russia. The Schah, they say, is to cede to the
Emperor of Russia the whole country as far as •the Araxes,
including the fortress of Erivan. The annual revenue of
this country is estimated at 50,000,000 of francs.—Augs-
burg Gazette.

" The Echo du Midi says, an extraordinary courier has
been despatched from Madrid to Iron, to give orders to the
Governor of that frontier to permit the new Nuncio of his
Holiness the Pope to enter Spain, paying him all the
honours due to his rank and his character : at the same
time despatches were sent from Madrid to the Nuncio, who
was at Bayonne, to inform him of the new determination
of the Cabinet of Madrid. It is known that the appear-
ance of some differences between the Court of Spain and
that of Rome had induced the former to delay the arrival of
the Nuncio in its capital."

GERMAN PAPERS.
SWITZERLAND, JULY 1.

The troubles in the Inner Rhodes of the Canton of Appen-
zell may be considered as terminated. On the 22d of
June the little court assembled for the first time since the

lath; the attendance of members was, however, very
namerous. On this occasion Mr. Landamman Sydler
was introduced .as Representative of the Confederation, and
delivered his credentials from the presiding Canton, and ex-
plained the object of his mission, which was to protect the
authority and the constitutional character of the Govern-
ment, and nothing further. On his leaving the meeting it was
resolved to summon the Great Council for the 28th. On this
day the instructions for the Minister to the Diet were discussed,
and M. Zaesler, the second Landamman, appointed to that
office. A Committee appointed on the 26th, by the
weekly Council, for proceeding against the authors and in-
stigators of the tumult, was confirmed. This Committee

others were afterwaras added. They

CARLSRUE, JULT 3.

The Official Journal of the 30th ultimo, contains an
ordinance to the following effect :—" Louis, &c.—By Act
1 of the law of the 30th of January, 1819, we ordered
that civil officers of inferior rank (who were therein ape-
cified) should not be liable to be removed from their offices,
after they have held them five years. .

" In order to judge with respect to each officer in parti-
cular, whether he should be permitted to enter into the
period of his service, when he cannot be removed according
to law, or whether it would Rot be better to dismiss him
entirely, or to fix a longer term of probation, a report shall
be made to us from all the offices, in the month of January
each year, with respect to the capacity, assiduity, and
moral conduct of all the officers whose term of probation is
net expired, and they shall know our determination on the
subject.

CASSEL, JUNE 30*

It is reported that the Hanoverian Government has ap-
pointed M. Schmidt Phiseldeck, who lately entered his
Majesty's service as Privy Councillor, to draw up a new
Code of Regulations, for the Administration of the Mines
of the Hartz; and that he will very shortly proceed to exe-
cute this impoi tar Commission.

The Postmaster-General of England has ex-
tended the hour of departure of his Majesty's
Post-office packets from Kingstown, to five
o'clock, instead of four in the afternoon, from
this day, Wednesday, the 11th instant.—Dublin
Morning Register.
EXTRAORDINARY SWIMMING.—Our readers
will doubtless recollect the circumstance of Dr. Bedele, of
Manchester, having, some time ago, announced his inten-
tion of swimming from this town to Runcorn, a distance
of about eighteen miles, without receiving any aid from
the boats; which might follow him, or resting in any way
whatever, out of the water. It appears that this offer, on
the part of the Doctor, originated in a wager which he laid
with Mr. Matthew Vipond, of Manchester, that he would
swim with him from Liverpool to Runcorn in one tide.
All preliminaries having been settled, the morning of yes-
terday was fixed upon ; and, as if to afford every facility to
the adventurers, and grace their daring attempt, the morn-
ing opened out exceedingly auspicious, the sun shone bril-
liantly, and every thing seemed to favour the bold experi-
ment which was about to be tried by the aquatic adven-
turers, great excitement prevailed, and numerous specta-
tors, in boats, witnessed the arduous and novel under-
taking. About a quarter after eight o'clock in the morn-
ing they started from the Queen's Dock. The Doctor,
prodigal of his strength, was anxious to give his opponent
every advantage by allowing him to keep a-head. During
their progress, at different times, small quantities of
brandy and wine were presented, in bottles fastened
to the end of sticks, from the boats. The swimmere
were thus enabled to receive their refreshments
by treading water. When within a short distance of
Runcorn, the Doctor shot a-head of Vipond, who, however,
made every possible exertion to regain his former sta-
tion, but his struggles to effect this only overpowered him,
and, when within half-a-mile of the landing place, he was
obliged to yield the palm of victory to his more robust or
more disciplined competitor, and was taken into a boat.
Just before the swimmers reached Runcorn, the Eclipse
steamer passed and saluted them with cheers, which the
Doctor returned by waving one hand above his head. The
Doctor was taken up opposite Runcorn Church, at ten
minutes to twelve, having concluded this extraordinary un-
dertaking in three hours and thirty-five minutes. The
adventurers were hailed, upon their arrival at Runcorn, by
the plaudits of numerous spectators who crowded the piers
and the strand, all anxiously waiting their arrival. When
the Doctor was taken into the boat, so little was he fatigued,
that he declared his ability to swim twelve miles further.
The Doctor and his friends, who were joined by numerous
arrivals from Manchester, returned in the steam-packet to
Liverpool, where they arrived about four o'clock in the
afternoon, and immediately pifoceeded to Mr. Blorgan's,
Fenwick-street, where a number of gentlemen were waiting
to receive him. A band of music was in attendance in the
lobby, and, on his approach, struck up the air of " See,
the Conquering Hero comes." He appeared to he little
worse for his great exertions, described himself as being
very warm and comfortable, and expressed his readiness to
swim again to the same place at any time. Considerable
bets have been pending on the performance of this feat.—
Liverpool Courier.
