WRECK OF THE MARCHIONESS WELLES-
LEY, STEAM-PACKET.—On Sunday morning, about seven
o'clock, this beautiful vessel struck upon the Dogger-bank,
at the entrance of the harbour. The accident has been
attributed to various causes. During the confusion that
occurred, the chimney in the cabin took fire, and caused
considerable alarm, but by timely exertion it was soon sub-
died. The weather was quite calm. Soon after this un-
fortunate occurrence, the sea, which was very violent,
stove in the beautiful stained glass windows in the stern,
and obliged the cabin passengers to make a hasty retreat.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 31, 1827.

We received last night the Paris Papers of
Friday, and the Gazette de France dated Sa-
turday morning : and a second Express, which
arrived this morning at three o'clock, brought us
the Papers of Saturday, and the Gazette de
France of yesterday morning. They add but
little to our previous information from Con-
stantinople, as no further direct intelligence had
been received from thence ; and that which they
contain from the German Papers is contradic-
tory. The Gazette de France of yesterday
quotes an article from the Augsburgh Gazette,
which states that letters from Vienna, received
at Frankfort on the 25th inst., confirm the de-
parture of the Ambassadors on the Ist, although
the Austrian Observer says nothing of it ; but
the Editor adds, that at the moment he is com-
municating that intelligence, he has received a
letter from Vienna of the 20th December, which
says, " Sir HENRY WELLESLEY has just re-
ceived a courier from Constantinople, dated the
30th, who brings him an autograph letter from
Mr. S. CANNING, which directs him to send his
despatches to Corfu, because he will set off from
Constantinople at latest on the 4th December."
The accounts published on Saturday, from the
foreign papers, of the burning of the Greek fleet
off Scio, by Admiral DE RIGNY, appear not to
have had any foundation. Letters from Smyrna
to the 24th November make no mention of the
occurrence ; and no confirmation of it had been
received on the 17th inst. at Trieste, NNhere the
report had been prevalent for three days, and
from whence it has spread all over Europe.

The Austrian Observer, of the 20th, an-
nounces that it is authorized to declare that the
letter published by the French Journals, as being
the copy of one addressed by Prince METTER-.
NICH to the Austrian Internuncio, at Constan-
tinople, is entirely fictitious. All the reasoning,
therefore, founded on this letter, of the change
which the Austrian policy respecting the affairs
of Turkey had undergone, falls to the ground,
and we may now positively infer, from the honours
bestowed on Baron OTTENFELS, that his con-
duct during the negotiations, so far from offend-
ing his Government, had met with its perfect ap-
proval. The French Funds during the last two
days scarcely varied, the fluctuations having been
only between 67f. 20c. and 67f. 40c., and the
last price quoted is 67f. 35c.
We have given in another column copious
extracts from all the French Papers.

We received yesterday the Allgemeine Zei-
lung of the 23d inst. Some of its contents had
been anticipated by the French Papers, but it
gives some interesting details of the proceedings
at Constantinople to the 27th of November.
The SULTAN is said to have been within hear-
ing, through a latticed window, of the Conference
between the Ambassadors and the REIS
EFFENDI on the 24th. On that occasion the
Ambassadors reduced their proposals to two
questions :—First, whether the PORTE wished
to continue its amicable relations with the Allied
Courts : Secondly, whether it had taken into con-
sideration the Note of the 10th November. To
the first question the REIS EFFENDI replied,
that the greatest proof of the amicable inten-
tions of the PORTE was that it still allowed the
Ambassadors of the three Courts to make pro-
posals, after the highly unwarrantable attack

at Navarin, and continued to listen to them.—
To the second question, that the PORTE itself
would effect the pacification, if the rebels sub-
mitted. The Dragomans, from eleven o'clock
in the morning till six in the evening, in vain
endeavoured to make the REIS EFFENDI
change his opinion. The Ambassadors at
length retired, and they were subsequently in-
formed that they should receive an answer.
This, too, was only verbal and negative. The
Ambassadors, on the 27th, in consequence de-
mandet their passports. Mr. STRATFORD
CANNING and M. GUILLEMINOT were to pro-
ceed to Corfu, and M. de RIBEAUPIERRE to
Odessa.

Further letters from Odessa repeated the re-
port that the Ambassadors had actually taken
their departure on the Ist.
Extracts of these Papers are given in another
column.

Brussels Papers of the 29th inst. reached us
also last night. The following article from
Berlin is the only one worth copying :

BERLIN, DEC. spite of the official and other
Journals which, for this fortnight past, are eager to make
us easy respecting the result of the negociations between
the Porte and the Ministers of the three Powers, the pre-
vailing opinion continues to incline to war, but it is
thought that the commencement of military operations may
be deferred till next spring.
Two principal facts deserve to he mentioned in support
of this opinion ; one is, the journey of General Count Die-
bitsch to Warsaw, at the moment when the Emperor,
during his stay at Riga, received the first news of the naval
battle in which the Russian fleet had taken so glorious a
part. According to what we have learned of the object of
this journey, General Diebitsch was sent to the Polish
capital to concert with the Grand Duke Constantine a plan
for the dislocation of the Polish army, which, in case of a
war with Turkey, is to serve, together with the Lithuanian
troops, as a second reserve to the army which will act on
the Pruth and the Lower Danube. The result of this mis-
sion of General Diebitsch was perfectly satisfactory. The
Polish military, tired of the leisure of peace, and perhaps
still more of the continual reviews with which they are
harassed by the command of their General-in-Chief, long
for the moment when they shall be allowed to display,
on the field of battle, that valour of which, at no very
remote period, their nation has, given such brilliant proofs
against the same enemies, whom, perhaps, their troops
will soon be called upon to combat, and to which the Em-
peror of Austria, at that time, owed the preservation of his
throne.

The other fact, which under the present circumstances,
deserves equal attention, is the preparations which Austria
continues to make not to be taken by surprise. Besides
the measures already mentioned by the Journals, the
Aulic Council of War has just made a contract with M.
Lemmel, dealer in horses at Prague, by which he is to fur-
nish, with as little delay as possible, 20,000 horses, partly
for the cavalry and partly fur the artillery and the train.
In order fully to appreciate the importance of the measure,
it is proper to remark, that Austria, for financial reasons,
has, since the peace, shewn great economy in its military
establishment, so that, with the exception of the Regiments
in Italy, the materiel of its army is in very bad condition.
It cannot be presumed that these reasons have lost their
weight, and, therefore, it is not to be supposed that this
Power has resolved on so great an expenditure as the pur-
chase of 20,000 horses, without the most urgent necessity.

Dutch Papers of the 29th inst. have reached
us this morning, but they furnish no news. The
Ambassador of the Netberlands at Constanti-
nople has received assurances from the PORTE
of entire protection for the Netherlands flag and
commerce. The following are extracts :

AMSTERDAM, DEC. 28.

According to private letters from Smyrna of the 21st of
November, communicated from a respectable quarter, the
Ambassador of the Netherlands at Constantinople, had re-
ceived from the Porte the most solemn assurances that the
flag and commerce of the Netherlands might depend on
entire protection, on account of the impartiality showed by
the Netherlands Government.

TETROPAWLOSK (KAMTSCHATicA), AUG. 11.
On the Bth of this month, a black and very hewn; cloud
was observed at four o'clock iu the morning, over the extinct
volcano of Awalocha, from which a shower of sand fell,
which continued till four in the afternoon. The shower of
sand was succeeded by rain mixed vith very fine sand.
On account of a very strong sulphareous smell, it was
difficult to remain above half an how out of doors. On
the 9th in the afternoon and the 10th in the morning,
several explosions were perceived. On the 9th the atmos-
phere was so darkened by clouds and vapour, that they
were obliged to burn candles at six o'clock in the afternoon,
but on the I 1 th the air was again quite clear. It is
generally believed that the mountain of Awalocha has
fallen in. The oldest people do not remember to have ever
witnessed a similar phenomenon.

lIAMBURGIf, DEC. 25.
On the 24th NOvember his Majesty the Emperor of
Russia, as King of Poland, published an Ordinance,
by which the directing Council is ordered immediately to
convoke the Provincial Assemblies, for the purpose of
choosing new members in the room of those who are to go
out by lot.

The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 24th instant,
has also come to hand to-day. A considerable
part of its contents have been again anticipated
by the French Papers, particularly an article
from Jassy, stating the alarm which had
been occasioned by two pulks of Cossacks having
crossed the Pruth. This detachment, however,
subsequently retired to their former position on
the opposite bank of the river. It will be seen
by the following article from Ancona, furnishing
some interesting details respecting Greece, that
IBRAHIM PAULA was continuing his opera-
tions in the INlorea

ANCONA, DEC. 10.

The lonian steam-boat arrived on the 9th. Among the
passengers was the Secretary of Governor Adams. Gen.
Church had arrived in Eastern Greece with 5,000 men,
and had been joined by several Greek Chiefs, among whom
was Varnakioti. He landed on the 30th of November, at
Dragomestre, in Acarnania, where he purposed to take
possession of Missolonghi, which has only a small garrison,
and to excite the inhabitants of Epirus and Albania to take
up arms. He was supported by five Greek ships of war.
Ibrahim Pacha had burnt Tripolizza, and gone towards
Navarin, Coron, and Motion. It was reported that he
wished to hire some European merchantmen, to return to
Egypt. He had been joined by the Arabs, who were in
garrison at Patras. The Turks who remained were in
treaty with the Greek blockading corps. Ibrahim had
dismissed all the Albanians in his service. Up to the 30th
November, three new English ships of war had arrived at
Malta, to reinforce Admiral Codrington ; among which is
a ship of the line from Lisbon. A vessel from the Archi2
pelago brought the report, which needs confirmation, that
Lord Cochrane had left Scio, after a conference with Com-
modore Hamilton. The Russian squadron celebrated, on
the Ist of December, a solemn funeral service for the brave
men who fell at Navarin.

We extract the following paragraphs from the
Hamburgh Papers of the 29th inst. received this
day :
_ _

CHRISTIANIA, NOV. B.

On the report made to his Majesty of the sentence of the
Court on the Councillor of State, Collet, his Majesty, by a
resolution of the 17th of last month, declared and com-
manded, that no less out of regard for the maintenance of
the royal authority, than of public and individual liberty, his
Majesty will not Permit that the exercise of the royal
authority, determined by the Constitution, or that of the

National Representation, shall depend in the slightest de-
gree on the interpretation of the Court of Justice.

COPENHAGEN, DEC. 22.

On Thursday afternoon the youngest daughter of Prince
William of Hesse and Princess Charlotte of Denmark, died
suddenly.
A letter from Ripen, of the 14th of this month says,
that on Friday evening, a cannonade, which was continued
for three hours, was heard in some villages to the south of
that place ; but latter accounts stated it to have been made
as signals, by ships in distress.
Madame Catalani, who will give to-morrow her first
public concert, is said to have received from his Majesty
the King of Sweden a diamond cross, with very large
brilliants ; from the Queen, a diamond aigraffe ; and from
Prince Oscar and his consort, a necklace and ear-rings of
sapphires, mixed with brilliants.
His Majesty has conferred the Grand Cross of Danne-
brog upon M. de Riheaupierre, the Russian Ambassador
at Constantinople.

HANOVER, DEC. 30.
A Proclamation, dated the 17th, convokes the Assembly
of the States of the Kingdom for the 4th Feb. next.
The Embden herring fishery has been extremely suc-
cessful this year.

STOCKHOLM, DEC. 14.

Letters from Abo say, that the remainder of that unfor-
tunate town has been destroyed by fire. The exportation
of iron from Gothenburg, up to the sth, amounted to
141,000 ship pounds,. being 30,000 more than last year.

A private letter has been received this morning
from Trieste, dated the 15th inst., which does
not mention a word upon the subject of the
destruction of Clic Greek Fleet, and coming from
the first establishment in that City, gives reason
to doubt the truth of the account altogether.

By the Faith, Captain DELOITTE, Sydney
Papers to the 4th of August have been received
at the North and South American Coffee-house :
It is reported in the Colony that Australia and Tarmania
are to be erected into a See, and further stated that the
Venerable the Archdeacon Scott is to be the first Bishop ;
it is also understood that the Attorney-General is to take a
seat in our Colonial Councils. A Quarterly Magazine is
on the eve of being published under the superintendance of
the Rev. Mr. Wilton; the Rev. Dr. Lang and the Rev. Mr.
M'Garvie contemplate the publication of a periodical. The
Australian Magazine is only suspended in its opera-
ration for a time ; the Chamber of Commerce has held
their first Annual Meeting, and made their first report.
Many persons had died in the Colony from a catarrh, par-
ticularly in the country, some with the second or third
attack. It is stated in these papers that the new gaol
will occupy six or seven years in building, and cost the
Colony from 25 to 40,0001. A meeting of the Court of
Proprietors of the Bank of New South Wales had been
held, R. Jones, Esq. in the chair, a half yearly dividend of
seven per cent. declared, and a new director elected, in
W. Redfern, Esq. in the room of the late lamented D'Arcy
Wentworth, who died at Paramatta on the 6th of July.
The natives are again ravaging certain parts of the country
in • Tarmania, carrying slaughter and devastation before
them ; a tribe had appeared at Quamby's Bluff, robbed a
Mr. Widowrson, and destroyed all they could not take
away. Several murders had been committed by the
natives. In an extract of a letter from Launceston, it states,
the people over the Second Western Tier had killed a great
number of the blacks in consequence of the murder of Mr.
Simpson's stock-keeper ; it is reported there were about 60
in number killed, and it is remarked there will never be
an end to such transactions till the natives are removed.—
The -Hobart Town Gazette mentions, on the 30th of June,
the names of 19 prisoners under sentence of death, 15 of
whom were executed, four were pardoned. A settlement had
been made by Captain Logan of the 57th regiment, to
which plan the Governor-in-Chief had paid a visit, and
expressed himself highly gratified at the state of the new
settlement. The Governor proceeded on his tour in his
Majesty's ship Rainbow, Captain Rous, accompanied by
Archdeacon Scott. Dr. Transon died at his residence
Varro Ville, Bunbury Curran, he was a very old and re-
spectable colonist; he left a lenge property to his 'brother
in Van Dieman's Land, a nephew, and two nieces in Eng-
land.

Extract of a Latter from the Agent to Lloyd's
at Genoa, dated Dec. 20:—

" Letters from Trieste, of the 14th inst., announce the
arrival of an Austrian brig of war at Pireus, with the
news that Admiral de Rigny had burnt and destroyed
the Grecian fleet, commanded by Lord Cochrane, at Scio,
for,having contravened the declaration given by the three
Allied Admirals. The Master of the Bitorna Dea ar-
rived in this port, from Alexandria, reports, that a Greek
pirate plundered him of all hie sails, long boat, and skiff,
and was obliged to put into Malta to replace his losses."

Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's
at Constantinople, dated Nov. 26 :

" The embargo has been removed, but Firmans are still
subject to greater delay than previously, so that the only
English vessels that have sailed since the 10th instant are
the Susannah and William Shand—the latter has put
hack by contrary winds. Arrivals have taken place from
below within these few days past, but no English vessels
have come in. The Ambassadors are still here, but in
little hope of bringing their negociations to a satisfactory
termination, and they are apparently ready for departure.
The Comet, Ounston, has been some time waiting for
orders of his Excellency Mr. Canning."

Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's
at Smyrna, dated Nor. 20 :

" Perfect good order, tranquillity, and security to all
classes, is maintained by the Pacha. A few families who
had gone on board of ship, have returned to their houses ;
but the merchants yet leave their goods in the vessels in the
hay. The Turks continue to hold out in the Castle
of Scio."
