CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 1.
DEC. I.—Three Jews who have been converted to Chris-
tianity by the English Clergyman, were arrested last night ;
they have been taken before the Grand Vizier, and on their
refusal to abjure their new religion have been taken back
to prison. The rigour with which they are treated pro-
ceeds also from their having laid aside the costume of
Rajahs, and put on the European dress.
DEC. 3.—The Bachi Aga (chief of the Police of the
quarter of the arsenal), has just been appointed Intendant
of the Arsenal.
DEC. 20.—1 t is said that a flying bridge is going to be
built in the port, and it is calculated that it would pro-
duce the Government a million of paras
It is affirmed that a firman orders all heads of families
to have their male children inscribed in tie registers im-
mediately after their birth. Each of them is to receive a
portion of the pay till he is able to bear arms and become
a soldier.

DEC. 21.—The Sultan is engaged in forming a corps of
cavalry. It consists already of 200 or 300 men, with whom
he has gone through the streets adjacent to the Seraglio.
DEC. 25.—There is a report that fresh troops will be
sent to the Morea in the spring, by way of Missolonghi.
The Pacha of Bosnia has been deposed, on account of
the troubles which have broken out in his Government.—
He is succeeded by. the Pacha of Belgrade.
The Sultan every day attends the exercise of the new
troops. Like the Bimbachis, he holds a whip in his hand,
and strikes those who appear to him to be negligent. The
pages of Galata Serai, who have been taught the use of
arms, have been introduced to him. He was much pleased
with them, and has kept them in the Seraglio.
DEC. 27.—Eleven lonian subjects, who were confined
in the house of Correction, have been set at liberty, at the
instance of the English Legation; one of them had }seen
there 17 years, another 11.
DEC. 28.—The principle of the new reform seems to
gain ground with the nation; thirty-two Colonels are now
actively engaged; twelve are employed at Constantinople,
five in Rumelia, the others in the Asiatic provinces of the
Empire. The latter have met with great facilities in
forming their regiments, and daily send to the capital their
snperfluous recruits.
The building of the new- barracks proceeds rapidly, and
the internal arrangements are very good—that of Daoud
Pacha will contain six regiments ; that of Rarniz Tchilik
four; and that of Scutari five regiments. These will be
ready to receive the troops by the middle of next year.
The following list of the disciplined troops, the greater
part of which are at Constantinople, has been drawn up
from data, which there is reason to believe correct :-
2,500 in the barracks of the Arabadjes, with blue facings;
2,500 in the barracks of the Dzebujes, with green facings;
3,000 in that of Eske Seras, with red facings; 2,000 Sey-
men in the same barracks; 2,000, ditto, in the quarter of
Pacha Capouchi ; 3,000 Bostangis depending on the Bos-
tangi Baschi ; 2,000 others in different parts, in the
vicinity of Constantinople; 5,000 men sent td the Dar-
danelles, to Tenedos, Scio, and the Morea—total 21,800.
Ten thousand men were assembled at Boti 25 days ago.
It is supposed that half of them have already arrived in de-
tachments at Constantinople.
There are in the arsenal 600 men paid by the Govern-
ment: it is intended to increase them to 3,000 ; and 400
paid by the Captain Pacha personally. He intends to
have 1,000. It is to this corps that the European officers
are attached. There are also 16,000 Topchis, of whom
12,000 are in Constantinople and the environs ; the other
4,000 have been sent away; it is said they will be increas-
ed to 30,000. This makes the armed force amount to
49,800 men. The bombardiers are estimated at 6,000.
The garrison of Constantinople is to be composed of
120,000 men.
It is reckoned that the several Pachas will have
180,000 men, which would make the military force of the
empire amount to 300,000 men.

DEC. 30.—1 t is said that a Tartar arrived to-day from
Athens, has announced that the citadel was closely in-
vested by Redschid Pacha, and has brought to the Govern-
ment the tenor of the conditions on which the garrison is
said to have offered to capitulate. Another Tartar, who
has come from Agrafa, in Albania, has brought news of
the revolt of the Greek inhabitants of that country. He
was the bearer of some heads, sent by Ismael Pacha, who
is said to have commenced offensive operations against the
rebels.

A plot, the object of which is unknown, has been dis-
covered. It was formed by the Albanians, a great number
of whom are employed in the public laths; several hun-
dred persons hare already been exiled on this occasion.
DEC. 31.—The Pacha of Mouch has revolted ; the
Porte has ordered Galeb Pacha, of Erzerum, to march
against him; he is a Curie; his Government is situated
to the east of Lake Vard.

It is stated that M. de Ribeaupierre has signified to the
Hospodars, that on passing through their capitals, he
should inquire into the state of the finances of these prin-
cipalities, and that he, therefore, requested them to have
their accounts ready.

The Sultan has been, to-day, to the arsenal; he has
passed the day in exercising the new troops, and examin-
ing the details of their organization. From the joyful
countenance of the Captain Pacha, it is presumed that
the Sultan was contented, and expressed his satisfaction
to him.

GENEVA, JAN. 18.--M. Eynard lately addressed to the
Nouvellist Vaudois, the following extract of the happy and
mportant news which he has received from Greece:—

" Since the letter which I had the honour to write to
the Committee of Lausanne, the 17th of January (this
should, perhaps be December), I , have received nume-
rous letters from Napoli di Romania, of the 12th, 13th,
and 18th December. All of them bring news favourable
to Greece, of which the following is the substance :
" Colonel Heideck writes nearly in the following terms :
" After a fatiguing passage, and some dangers, we ar-
rived at Napoli the sth of Dec. and entered the Port at
the same time as the American frigate. The Turks have
been defeated by land in Eastern Greece, and obliged to
raise the siege of Athens.
" The Egyptian fleet, through which we happily passed,
though it consisted of 75 sail, had only- provisions on
board, and no troops for Ibrahim. The Greeks are joyful
and full of hope. The National Assembly has not yet fixed
on the place of its sittings.
" To-morrow we set out for Egina, by way of Epidau-
rus. We shall afterwards go to Athens.
" Admiral Miaulis has taken the command of the frigate
and is gone with it to Poro.
" Karaiskaki has covered himself with glory at Aracona,
towards Livadia ; he there attacked Muslan Bey Kiaffa,
of Rumelia, with 2,000 men, and completely defeated him.
Before the action, the Turk proposed to retire. No ! re-
plied Karaiskaki, Missolonghi demands blood, and 1,300
barbarians were sacrificed to the manes of those sacred
victims. This fury of the Greeks shows how the wounds
in the hearts of the victors were still bleeding. (The
greater part of Karaiskaki's troops is composed of the de-
fenders of Missolonghi, who lost every thing they held
dear, when that town was plundered.) A rich booty, in
arms and baggage, was the result of this brilliant success.
" The expedition of Colliti promised a happy result, and
the inhabitants seconded it with all their power, offering
all the provisions they could spare, and some money.
" The distribution of prov,isions had commenced, and
M. Bailey had exerted himself to make the best use of the
two cargoes going to the assistance of the most important
points, and especially of Karaiskaki, who shows himself
every where with continual success, &c. &c.

" The letters from Napoli announce, besides, the arrival

of six vessels with provisions, and a ship sent from Zante,
" Accept, &c.
" J. G. EYNARD."

(From the Quoadienne of Wednesday.)
PARIS, JAN. 23.—Letters from the Isle de France, of
August lasj say, that by a decision of the English Govern-
ment in that Colony, above 400 inhabitants of the island
had been forced to leave it. These exiled colonists are
Frenchmen, who, having been received in the isle since it
has been occupied by the English, had married there, and
bought estates, but had not been admitted to take the oath
of allegiance, though they had solicited to do so. The
same letters affirm that no plot, no subject of discontent,
has given occasion to this extraordinary and barbarous
measure, which the English Government has thought it
proper to take.

(From the Moniteur of Tuesday.)
MADRID, JAN. 1 I.—The Court Will set out on the 15th
inst. for the Pardo; the King has authorised M. de Cabo-
marde to accompany it there.

The two Swiss regiments will march in four columns,
in the following order :—On the 12th, a battalion and
a half with the Colonel of the first; on Saturday
the first battalion, and the half of the second, of the
first regiment; on Sunday the third, and the half of
the second battalion of the second regiment, with the
General, and the magazine of clothes; on Monday, the 15th,
the half of the second battalion, and the first battalion of
the second regiment, with the treasure. On Tuesday, the
16th, the hospital, consisting of 200 sick, and all the me-
-dical officers, escorted by a detachment of infantry, about
thirty horsemen, and one piece of artillery. The magazines
of food and other necessaries, took, on the 14th, the route
to Alcobendas, and the route towards France is already
covered with vehicles.

Much is said here pn the subject of a circular from the
Minister of War, which is about to be addressed to the
Captains-General.

[-Here the substance of the Spanish Minister's Circular
is correctly described.]
It is thought from this document that our Cabinet now
acts in perfect accordance with France and Great Britain,
not for the interests of the Constitutional Regime against
the Absolutists, but in order to effect a pacification, in con-
sequence of which the Portuguese Constitution itself will
be much modified, and perhaps even abolished, as being
manifestly at variance w►th the feelings of the nation.
