FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENC I I PAPERS.

PIRIS, Dar. 12.—We have received by express 1
the Augsburgh Gazette of the 9th of December. It
contains a letter contradicting the report of the de-
parture of the Ambassadors, who were still at Con-
stantinople on the 18th of November.
(From the Journal (ks Debats.)
PARis, DEC. 14.—8 y accounts received from M.
Collet, Commander of the squadron before Algiers,
it appears that he has been reinforced by the frigate
Astree, together with many brigs of twenty guns.—
Ile expected from Brest the frigate Eons., so that
he would have four frigates and three brigs before
Algiers, while on the coast of Oran and Cape Tenez
there are one frigate and two brigs; and to the east,
in the direction of Bone and Tunis, a frigate, a cor-
vette, and a brig.
M. Collet declared, that since the affair of the 4th
• October no ship of war has left Algiers, and that it
is not likely the Algerine squadron will put to sea
during the present winter.
Private letters announce that the Aga of Algiers,
together with 40 others, Arabs and Turks, have
been put to death. It is supposed that the Aga, or
Minister of War, was at the head of a conspiracy.
On the 17th Nov. the account of the affair of Na-
varin had reached Tunis ; but the public tranquillity
was not in consequence disturbed.

(From the Const;tutionnel.)
CONSTANTINopLE, Nov. l'2.—The Grand Vizier,
the Reis Effendi, and all the Grandees of the
Empire,: have been for some days in constant
consultation and discussion with the Dragomans of
Austria and the three Allied 'Rowers. Never
has there been seen such activity in the war
department or that for foreign affairs. Never has
there been such frequent intercourse between the
Reis Effendi and Foreign'Ambassadors. However,
the Turkish Authorities declared that all intercourse
with the Three Ambassadors was at an end, but it
seems that this declaration was not definitiv,,, as the
representatives of the Allies, after having received
the final answer the Turkish Government, trans-
mitted the same clay to the Porte a new note, which
the Reis Effendi received, and which he has ordered
to be registered.
It appears that there are in the Divan several
members anxious for peace (among others, the
Ulemas), and that the determination of the Grand
Sultan is the great obstacle to the settling of all
differences. It is said also, that there is a difference
of opinion among the Foreign Ministers, and that it
would not be impossible to obtain a favourable re-
sult, if the Porte, could only be convinced that
the Allies had nothing further in view than the pa-
cification of Greece, and that if this demand were
agreed to no others would be made.
(From the Quotidienne.)

We have the following account from Vienna, dated
Dec. 3 :—" It will be recollected that, the morning
after the battle ofNavarin,the three Admirals intimated
to the Turkish Generals that if the forts and vessels
did not fire hostilities would cease; and they re-
quired that, as a proof of agreement to this proposal,
the white flag should be hoisted. No answer was
returned ; but Tahir Pacha, who commands the
Turkish squadron, went on board the Asia, and en-
gaged that the batteries under his orders should not
commit any act of hostility, but he could not answer
for the troops or fortresses which were not under his
command. Affairs remained in this state till the
retreat of the combined squadrons, who left the Bay
without a single shot having been fired on them by
the Turks, who still occupied all the fortresses."

We are requested to caution the public against
the attempts of some notorious money-lenders in London,
who are sending circulars into Nottingham and other parts
of the country, offering to furnish accommodation bills.—

KING'S BENC u.—Mr. Justice JEBB took
his seat on the Berth at half-past ten o'clock. ME. MAC-
noNNFT.T. was then bound over in the sum of 1,0001. to
appear in Court the first day of next Term. At the re-
quest of Mr. PERRIN, his Lordship fixed the trial of WA L-
VCR 3l`DoNouGn, against Mr. MAcncoNNELL, for Monday
next.—Dublin Morning Register.

LACI3 LICENSES.—A week or two ago, we.
noticed that there was no longer any necessity to take out a
license from the Stamp-office, to sell lace. We find this
has been mistaken by some persbns, who have supposed
that they have a right to hawk lace without a license.
This supposition is erroneous. The fact is, all shopkeepers
selling British lace, were obliged to take out a ss. license
every year ; from this payment they are now relieved, but
lace cannot be hawked from door to door without all
hawker's' license, as heretofore.—Nottinghnin Paper. • '.
'KENT.—MEETING OF MAGISTRATES.-- •
A Meeting of the Magistrates acting for the Upper Divi- I
sion of the Lath of Scray, was held at the Ship Inn, Fa-
versham, on Thursday last. After the pauper cases were
disposed of, the Game offences (that fruitful source of liti:
gation) occupied the attention of their Worships ; when
GFOEGE CATT was convicted in the penalty of 51. for hav-
ing possession of a dog to kill game, on the gromads of the
Right Hon. Lord PA RAIN, in Ospringe. A man, of the
name of PECKHAM, was likewise convicted in the penalty
of 10/. for being found with a gun, within the limits of a
manor belonging to the Right Hon. Lord SoarnEs. The
offender not being able to pay the money at the time, was
allowed time for the payment of it, in order to prevent
his being committed to gaol. General GOSSELIN (one of
the Magistrates upon the Bench !) then laid two informa-
ttins under the Game Laws, against Mr. WALLER., a
neighbour and opulent landowner, for following, upon two
occasions, coveys of birds, bred upon his own land, to
that of the General, which adjoins. The General's bailiff
and a little boy were witnesses of this terrific trespass, and
could not tell whether the birds shot were sparrows or par-
tri ages. The parties were convicted in a penalty of 10/.,
winch was paid.
A letter from Constantiaople, written on time
isornino•' of the 12th ult., has been received at Paris. The
Ambassadors had then just sent in their reply to the pro-
positions of the PORTE respecting the abandonment of the
Greek Treaty, and that claiming • compensation for the
injury ustained by the Turkish fleet at Navarin. The
reply, as is known, contained a decided negative to both
propositions, and given in so peremptoi y a manner, that
the Ambassadors expected the negotiation would be broken
off, and entertained no doubt whatever that in two or three
days they would be obliged to leave Constantinople. They
Therefore caused an intimation to be conveyed to the mer-
chants of what they thought likely to happen; and they
were further informed, that in all probability there would
be na impediment to their embarking, if they desired it,
at the same time with the Ambassadors, though it was not
likely that they Would be permitted to carry their property
with them. The feeling of most of the merchants was, on
learning the state of affairs, that they ought to remain on '
the spot for the protection of their property, and it became
consequently the duty of the Ambaasadors to provide as
well as they could for the safety also of the persons of their
countrymen. It was agreed that the Foreign Embassies
who had taken no part in the pending discussion, should
undertake, so fa. ..a they were able, the protection of the
subjects of the Ail I Powers during the absence of their
Ambassadors. . The Austrian Embassy, it was understood,
being placed in peculiarly delicate circumstances, was not
to take any part iu this arrangement. At the date of this
letter the expectation was almost universal that the Ambas-
sadors of England, France, and Russia, would quit Con-
stantiople without delay, but it was believed also, that they
would not go faraber than to one of the lonian Islands, in
I order that they might be at hand to receive any proposition
I for the renewal of the negotiations.— Tireas.
JOIIN KEMBLE.—Though every one knows
how strictly JOHN Kr/ABLE observed what he conceived to
be the rhythm of his favourite author—as jn the case of
pronouncing stitches for aches—few knew that he adhered
as scitipulously to SIIAKtirEARE'ii text, which he would not
allow, by ally accident, to be violated, when he himself was
not only innocent, but could not he considered as even ac-
cessory to the fact. In 1817, the last season that KENIELE
appeared on the stage, the great actor played on one occa-
sion Brutus. in the second act of Julius Cresar, Cassius,
as all our readers remember, says—
" The clack bath stricken three." _ . _

By some accident the stage clock struck four; upon which
obi of the gods cried 0ut,..,," You lie, it has struck four ;"
whereupon KIIIBLE, patios of the right reading of SHAX...
SPEAIL, and resenting even this accidental falsification
of
his text, came forward and repeated, in confirmation of the
former speaker.—
" The clock hath stricken three ;"
turrg his eyes, at the rune time, with an air of supreme
acorn to the gallery.-40(107, 11''edigly Review.
