the places of the.deposed Ministers.
The Sultan had within these few days- paid a visit
in the strictest incognito to-the Grand Vizier, proba-
bly to seek his advice in his critical situation. The
Conference, howevei, laited three quarters of an hour,
and was immediately followed by the dismissal of
several high-Officers. Among these are twelve supe-
rior Officers df State, who have long been obnoxious
!to the Janissaries. It is difficult to foresee what fur-
tber may happen,. but we believe that our apprehen-
sions will not be found groundless.
Tartars have brought the news that Choorschid
Pacha -is dead. 'Weil-informed persons,' however,
think he put an end to his life himself, having reason
to fear that orders would be sent from Constantinople
to put him to death. The Sultan has appointed to
the post of &riskier of the Army destined against
the Morea, Czeleddin Pacha, of Boinits,proposed by
the Janissaries, who was before intended as his suc-
cessor. Together with this news,ihe Porte announces
'a trifling victory gained by comer Vrione, in Acar-
nania, on which occasion some towns are said to have
been burnt: perhaps, however, this• is merely done
by way of consolation for the disasters of the fleet.
There have been no negotiations with the Christian
'Ambassadors since the changes in the Administra-
tion ; but when Lord Strangford returns he will find
a great difference, the Janissaries not being much'
dispdsed to admit of diplomatic influence.—Afigo.,

It was lately supposed that in case of war between.
Itussia and jurkeyi Austria •would remain neutral.
-A differeittopiniore is nder entertained ; an offensive

Prussia flaring- beers concluded at Traptian, by which
the two Imperial Conrts engaged to hold 60,000 men;

,there are two diffiathies ;.•orie to bring the 'Porte to
enter on the proposed negociation, the second to re-
Chnoile the pretensions of the two Powers, 'if the con-
ferences straid take place.: " - '
The Porte persists in asesting, that it is on a level
' with all the Gheistian Powers—that Russia cannot
glee a solid 'reaki fdrwithdrawing her Ambassador,
or for reksing to tend another, which would be the
.histi .proof of. her pacific dispinitions. In the last

ROTYRRDA/N, JANUARY 2.
" The Ntaase has been, for the last eight days, com-
pletely froten over, and is now passed over by car-
riages, carts, &c. This day a fair took place on the
river; there were regular marquees and booths
erected—the forreer affording entertainment, and the.
latter decked out with the most fascinating articles Of
Dutch attraction, There were ten ice-boats,' deco-
rated with fancy streamers ; the proprietors of which
fared well. by letting therwout by the course, which
they perform with the velocity of a race-horse, Carts,
and carriages continue to cross the Mame in various
directions. There is no prospect df a change of wea-
ther. The concourse of people assembled daily on-
the ice, in every direction, is immense. A number
of individuals have been drowned ,here, at the tom.'
mencement of the frost, through a prematete_desire
of skaiting. Among them were a .young man and
his sweetheart; who were much admired for their
dexterity in skaiting ; they both went down tOgitbeT,
hand-in-hand, to rise no more.

SPANISH POLITICAL TER I*.

PERSE4 Persians.—This term is applies the
seventy-two Deputies of the Cartes who, on the re-
turn of -Ferdinand; sied: the . Address which was
got up to afford .that Monarch •a- pr feet for aboli-h-
-mg the Constitution. They. are called Peraes because
their Address began with the following .arardit!rJ. It
was a custom among the Persians,”-.ocs;---;.•7
Assotarrores—Persons who hold Abe sense
nions as the Perses, and wish tb restore the' King to
the possession of absolute power., - •
PASTISLEROS, Pastry•cooks.-..—Modifications peet.
posed to be made in the Constitution have been called
a pastel, which• means a pie, or any kind of pastry ;
hence those. who. are supposed to wish to make suck
modificatiens; that is, tQ mix up thb ingredients and
knead the dough of the pie, are named Pasteleros:
The. term has, however, been differently applied and
diverted from its. original use. The last Ministers
who were suspected, of. a design to alter the Consti-
tution had the epithet Pasteleros applied to them, as
had all the Members of the Cortes who voted'in
their favour. These Deputies'were also called Ar-
becanse the celebrated Arguelles was, the
leader of their party, But the present Ministers,
though considered to be decidedly attached to the
Constitution, and against all changes,' are in their
turn called Pasteleros by the Zurriagnistas and Lan-
flaburianistas.* Thus the word has at length ceased
to be a term of reproach. One of the Pans journals.
has stated, that Pasteirro means the same as the French
!Ventru (pot-bellied or corpulent); but no reason is
assigned for this application. *, •, •
Anmeitos; the Iting-men.—There is a society or
iclub, called the Anal°, or the Ring, the members of
which are understood to be decided partisans for the
'tablisliment of a Chamber of Peers. The members
'of this club are said to be highly respectable, but
few in number. All persons who concur in Opinion
thiii club in the necessity of a House ofPeers, pr.
Ssrlics, wish to have-the Cones divided into two Cham-
bers, are described by the general term Canteristas:

assured the young one's flesh was neurly swat in
taste and flavour to our own deer. As soon as the

came within pistol-shot of us, and as I expected this
would be the case, I was prepared for them ; and one
day when they advanced more than usually close-to
us, we had the good luck to knock down no less than
five of them, three of which tried- to mike off though.
badly wounded, but our Danish dogs soon stopped
them, and they were safely brought back ; we dressed
their flesh in a variety of ways, and to me it proved
most excellent. Not long after this it gave much
uneasiness to observe more than usual numbers of the
cures prowling about the vicinity. I did not men-
tion my apprehensions to Mrs. G. but I resolved to
be prepared for the worst, and never to be off my
'guard. I watched minutely the conduct of every in-
dividual within my domain,. kit treachery within
should betray us into the hands of their country
without, as we had taken several of the natives. all
under the age of eighteen, into our service, and we
had hitherto every reason to believe them perfectly
harmless, and well-disposed towards us. While.
I was deliberating on the steady course I mfg ViV
,pursue, one of my Dutch acquaintance called on me,
and from him" learnt that alarge body oftbeCidrem
had assembled at a village
,a few miles distant,
that the farmers and cOlonists 'in those' parts had
everything to fear, front their. known.loee of plunder
and their ferocity. These peoPle- bad come from

THE INDIAN EXHIBITION.
. - • _. •
A cabinet of nicknacks has opened itself in Pen-
man, under the somewhat lofty title Of n The Indian
Museum.' The specimens- presented in this 44 Mg-
seum" may be divided into two classes; the first di-
vision comprising Indian weapons, musical instru-
ments, natural curiosities, and models of works of,
art or general utility ; the second, consisting of a
series of pictures (the subjects "dieted from Hindoo
mythology); which, assisted by the common ma'
chine for such. purposes made and provided, sire
to form what the exhibitor calls an 44 Indian Comm.
rama." The whole has so much of noveltyaboill*
as may entertain a man for half an hour :who- Inw allefJ
