talking to hint mama." " And what were you talking
about ?" " Me ask him, muse, what the best news at sea."

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 13, 182'7.

His MAJESTY arrived in town, this afteinoon,
at a quarter-past one o'clock, for the purpose of
holding a Council, at which his MAJESTY will

receive the Recorder's Report of the persons
convicted at the October Sessions. It is ex-

pected that his MAJESTY will return to Windsor,
this evening, on the breaking up of the Council.

In the late edition of our yesterday's Paper,
we mentioned that an Austrian Messenger had
arrived with despatches for Prince ESTERIIA ZY,
the nature of which had not transpired. We
added that the Messenger left Vienna on the
Bd inst., at midnight, up to which time no in-
telligence had arrived of the Ambassadors
haling quitted Constantinople. We have now
to add, that the reports which were circulated
that, prior to the date of the despatches to the
Austrian Ambassador, accounts had reached
Vienna from Constantinople up to the 18th
ult., when the Ambassadors were still there,
are without foundation. No intelligence from
tile Turkish Capital later than the 12th had
been received in Vienna. The next arrival
must, we apprehend, put an end to the painful
Mate of suspense which the public have been
kept in with respect to the issue of the long pro-
tracted negoelations.

In the Gazette de France of 'tuesday morn-
ing, the arrival of which by express in own we
mentioned yesterday, we find intelligence from
Constantinople to the I2th November inclusive,
which it derives from the Attgsburgh Gazette of
a later date than those which have reached us.—
The Ambassadors of the three Allied Powers
returnpri on the 10th their answer to the condi-
tions proposed 11 the PORTE on the Bth and
9th. It is said to Lave been to the following
effect :

" Ist. The Treat, Of the Gth of July, NYI
has not been annulled, forbids the Allies to
abandon the question of Greece, as the PORTE
desires.

a 2d. The Turkish fleet gave occasion to the
battle of Navarin, which destroys every claim of
the PORTE to an indemnity.

- " 3d. The PORTE has the less reason to
expect satisfaction, as it was informed in due
time that an event, such as that at Navarin,
might occur if it did not listen to the counsels of
moderation, or if it should be tbA2 first to attack."

. •
The note is said to have concluded with the
expression of a wish that the 'PoRTE might

accept the pacification of Greece, and give a
favourable answer on this subject. The Am-
bassadors added, that until they shall have re-
ceived that answer they would not leave Corp.,'
stantinople. Preparations for departure were,
however, making in their hotels ; and the Eng-
lish and French Ambassadors had freighted Sar-
dinian vessels.

This information goes far to confirm that
which had previously reached-us, of the probability
of the departure of the Ambassadors about the 15th,
for there is no reasonable hope to be entertain-
ed that the SULTAN would have abandoned the
resolution which he had coolly and steadily acted
on up to that time. The non-receipt of farther
direct advices from our Ambassador will prove,
we expect, as we before observed, to arise from
his having left Constantinople by sea, proceed-
ing into the Archipelago. The fact here men-
tioned, of his having freighted Sardinian vessels
for the conveyance of the Embassy, adds strength
to our opinion.

The Journal des Dehats contains another
vehement attack on the French Ministry for the
danger to which it has subjected the peace of
Europe, by bringing France into probable colli-
sion with Turkey, and thereby allowing a pretext
to Russia to pursue her own views in the East.
The arrival of the King of SPAIN in Barce-
lona was not to take place so soon as had been
expected, the preparations for the reception of
his MAJESTY not being-completed till the 4th
of this month.

We subjoin some extracts from these Papers—

(From the Gazette de France of Tuesday.)

PARIS, DEC. 10.—We continue carefully to publish
every thing relative to the affairs of the East that we find
in the German Journals and in our private correspondence.
The Austrian Observer says—" That as soon as the
Franks residing at Smyrna heard the news of the battle of
Navarin, they hastened to return from the country, and to
embark their property. The Pacha immediately quieted
their alarms, by assuring them that he took measures for
their safety, and that all the merchants to whatever nation
they belonged should have protection for themselves and
their property. At the same time, and in consequence of
a conference with the Pacha, two Austrian frigates came
and anchored before the hotel of the Austrian Consulate,
and kept 400 men in readiness to land, at the first signal
in case of tumult or of fire. Many. other European ships
of war, and one American, were also in the port. M. de
Rigny, who arrived on the 2d, incognito, paid a visit on the
day following to the Pacha. It is said, that he has de-
clared that the expedition against Scio was undertaken
against the wishes of the three Admirals, and that Lord
Cochrane had replied to Colonel Leblanc, who announced
to him from M. tie Rigny orders not to act, that he had
other instructions. M. de Rigny himself had been to Ip-
sara to prevent the sailing of the expedition, but did not
find it there."

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
"CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 12.—The following is the
essential and authentic tenour of the collective declaration
of the three Ministers, delivered on the 10th to the • Reis
Effendi, by the dragoman of the Baron Ottenfels ; and it
is to be observed, on this'occasion, that, to support it with
energy, they have each for himself presented a separate one
to the Porte. It states, that the Allies never can consent
to the demand of indemnity made by the Porte, because
the event at Navarin was produced by itself. The
same reason likewise does away with the demand of satis-
faction.
.t.—innmpnt of the intervention cannot
be admitted, because such a step would be a violation of
the convention of the 6th July. Such are the contents
of this note, in which there is no mention of any term
for the departure of the Ambassadors, nor of any concession
on the part of the Allies. All the reports that have been
spread of these two points are, therefore, destitute of foun-
dation. It is not known whether the Porte will answer,
but all its measures appear to be destined to support the
resolution which it has taken. Hitherto complete tran-
quillity and security prevail."
P4Rls, DEC. 10.—Lieut.-General Barbou and Major-
General Baron Meriage died yesterday at Paris. Neither
of them was advanced•in years._

val of a venal from Syria, on board of which is the Abbe
