CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 31.—We expect very shortly
the arrival of M. de Ribeaupierre. M. Minziacky has al-
ready had the Hotel of the Russian Legation, at
Bujukdere, put in order for his reception. It is said that
the Sultan is very much displeased with the Hospodar of
Moldavia, for having, on .a mere report, sent to Skuleug
the Mehmander, who was commissioned to receive the
Ambassador. It is affirmed, that the Mainlander has re-
ceived orders to return to Jassy—there to wait for the
official notice of the approaching arrival of the Prussian
Minister, for whose reception great preparations have been
made at Jassy.

The negotiations for the pacification of Greece, which
Mr: Stratford Canning has hitherto conducted alone, are
still in the same state; a satisfactory result cannot be ex-
pected, except from measures taken by the European
Powers in concert—for which reason, the arrival of M. de
Ribeaupierre is impatiently desired by the Greeks. It
inay, however, be doubted, whether the Emperor Nicholas
is inclined to sacrifice to' the Greeks the peace of his
Empire, now that the internal state of Greece is no longer
a secret.

The system of reform makes rapid progress, and pro-
mises to attain the desired object. It is only in Asia,
where the number of the exiled and fugitives is very great,
that some symptoms of opposition are here and there re-
marked.. At Aleppo, the Pacha has been obliged to fly,
in order to escape the fury of the Janissaries, whose disso-
lution could not be effected. Such a resistance may be
foreseen almost in the immediate vicinity cf the capital,
on the coast of Asia, where the number of the discon-
tented daily increases. However, the Sultan proceeds
without intermission in the execution of his plans. The
' Captain Pacha, the Reis Effendi, the Grand Vizier, and
the Kiaja Bey, second him with great energy.
We have no important news from Greece.—Augsburg
Gazette.

PARIS, JAN. 31.—A Morning Journal says, " Lord
Cochrane has written from Marseilles to the Greek Go-
vernment, to have ready twenty or twenty-five of the best
Greek vessels, supplied with provisions for two months,
and ready to sail immediately on his arrival, in order to
carry into execution the project which he has formed, and
which be will communicate only to Admiral Miaulis. The
Hydriots have already chosen the vessels which are to
make part of this expedition."
LIES OF THE DAY.

PARIS, JAN. 31.—The Constitutionnel—lt is said that
the unexpected return to France of M. de Fontenay, the
First Secretary of our Legation in Russia, is in conse-
quence of important papers seized by the Russians on the
frontiers of Persia.
The same—M. de Gabriac has ad• iced the Princess
Regent to enter into a negotiation with the insurgents,
before she employs the English bayonets against them.
The Quotidienne—The letters from Madrid,- which an-
nounce the taking of Chaves and Braganza, are evidently
forgeries. (1.)
The Courier Francais—The project of law on the press
has been withdrawn by the Ministry.
The Courier Francais again—The Duke and Duchess
of Reggio have refused a second invitation of the Emperor
of Austria. (2.)
The Journal du Commerce, after having said that the
Austrian Ambassador having, in consequence of a decision
of his Court, given orders to announce persons bearing
the titles of duchies and principalities by their family
names, and that one of the Marshals of France had bit-
terly complained of it to the Minister for Foreign Affairs,
adds that the Foreign Minister then wrote to the offended
Marshal a note of invitation, to which the Marshal re-
plied by a refusal (3.)
The Journal des Debats :—The project of law on the
press comes from Montrouffe. The project of law amend-
ed by the Keeper of the Seals, is only the menace of ano-
ther more favourite project of the company (4.)
(From the Constitutionnel.)

CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 27.—The organization of the
new troops continues with the greatest activity, and every
day some new recruits arrive from the Provinces, who
come to join the new regiments. Fifteen hundred men,
from Asia Minor, have been incorporated with the troops
of Mahmoud Pacha, upon the Asiatic side of the Bospho-
rus. A step has been very lately taken which has excited
a strong feeling. The inspectors of the quarters
of the City, and among others those of Kassim-Pacha,
Galata, and"Pera, hare already put it in practice: the
measure I mean is, the enrolment of every Turk, without
distinction of age. It is supposed that this enrolment has
some relation to the military service.
The Governor of Belgrade has been appointed to the
Government of Bosnia ; and the Pacha of Janboli has
been named Pacha of Belgrade; his pachalick has been
given to Belenli Mustapha Pacha.—Austrian Observer.
PARIS, JAN. 30.—1 t has been a long time known, that
the presence of Marshal Beresford, at Lisbon, was ex-
tremely disagreeable to all classes of the inhabitants; but
it was to be feared, that the important service just rendered
by England to Portugal might have prevailed on the Go-
vernment to forget the repugnance of the army and of the
people, towards him. Happily, this has not been the case,
and the Ministry and the Cortes gave the most decided
proof of their national indeptndence, in dismissing for the
fourth time from their country, a man of whom every one
was distrustful, and who was suspected besides of an un-
derstanding with the Court of the Queen Dowager. Our
Lisbon letters state, that Lord Beresford has definitively
quitted that city, and we hope that no temptation will in-
duel him to return, with a view to perform any part
there. It is painful, that a man of so great talents in mi-
litary affairs, should be so much an object of distrust,
that he can perform nothing but disservice to those,
upon whom, notwithstanding their reluctance, he so in-
consLlerately perseveres in pressing his kindness, In
October 1820, Marshal Beresford arrived from Brazil,with
the most eVensive powers from King John VI., to
repress the revolution which had then just broken out,
but he was not even allowed to land. On the day after
that which the vessel conveyed him arrived, there was s
fete given, on account of the armiversary of Don Pedro,
to which all the English at Lisbon, even the Captain of
Lord Beresford's ship, were invited; his Lordship alone
was excepted, and was forced to proceed to England with-
,out setting his foot on the Portuguese territory, Imme-
diately after the counter-revolution of 1823, Marshal Be-
resford hurried from England, but he was a second time
obliged to return to his own home. The insurrection of
'Deadlifiguel, in 1824, furnished the Marshal with a third
drPeetunity of pressing into the game, and a third time he
wi"bliged to quit Portugal. Lastly, he comes a fourth
time setltiout commission' and merely by sufferance, and
under rayon 43t. the disembarkation of the English troops
—a (Mirth time has the national antipathy manifested itself
and the Marshal returns as he came.

(2) This lame journal is in the right when it affirms that
what has been said of a direct conversation between the Duke of

as well as what has been added of a, pretended . meeting of the
Marshals.
(5) The Austrian Ambassador could not refuse the title of the
Duke of Reggio to Marshal Oudinot, because Reggio, of which
the Marshal bears the title, is in Calabria, and not near Modena.
