The French Journals of Thursday and Friday are
quite pacific ; and there seems little doubt that the
French Government has escaped the rock on which
it. had so nearly have been wrecked—a war with
Spain. The Journal des Debats, .no bad authority on
these matters, says: " the preservation of peace be-
tween France and Spain now appears to be certain."
In another column we have given a long and an im-
portant article from that Journal, which may be con-
sidered a:-; setting the question of war at rest. It is
curious to see how hard the French Government has
to labour to extricate itself from a former rash avowal;
for certainly there has no event occurred to justify
such a change of policy ; and if France ever had
cause of war against Spain (which we deny she ever
had), it has not been removed.

The change in the French Cabinet has been attri-
buted to the Duke of WELLINGTON, who possesses the
entire confidence of the KING, and who, as will be
seen by a private letter from Paris, to which we refer,
frankly stated to Louts XVIII. the dangers of war,
and that whether it succeeded or not it would be in-
jurious to the interests of France. It also appears
that the Army of Observation could not be relied on
in a war that had for its object to bring both France
and Spain back to the despotism that existed pre-
vious to their respective Revolutions. The influence
of England in thus saving Europe from the horrors
of a war which would probably have been as sangui-
nary as any that has taken place during the last'
thirty years, sheds a glory on the administration of
Mr. CANNING, which his predecessor in office would
never have acquired—for it is not too much to at-
tribute the important change that has taken place in
our Cabinet to the influence and talents of the new
foreign Secretary.

Accounts from Paris, dated Saturday, state that
the Duke of WELLINGTON is likely to remain some
days longer in that capital. The French Funds suf-
fered a slight depression on Saturday, in consequence,
it is believed, of the conflicting speculations of the
different parties in the money market.

This forenoon we received three Hamburgh Mails,
with Papers to the 11th inst. but they possess little
interest. The following are extracts :

BERLIN, DECEMBER 7.

Extraordinary Sensation has been excited here by
the melancholy and wholly unexpected news of the
death of the Prince Chancellot Harderiberg—an
irre-
parable loss, especially at the present moment, not
only for the Prussian Monarchy, but even for Europe.
The Prince's hotel has been surrounded the whole
day by crowds of anxious inquirers. The official
papers of the deceased Prince have already been taken
care of, by order of the High Authorities.

The State Gazette declares that there is no founds•

don for the statement given in the Constihtionnel, of
Paris, that Dr. Schleiermacher has been dismissed
from his office.

ST. PETERSBURG 11, NOVEMBER gr.

his said that Prince Menzikow, Adjutant:General,
has been sent on a special mission to Moldavia and
Wallachia. •
Mr. Von Labun, Counsellor of State, and Vice,
President of the Academy of Arts, is repotted to
have received orders to quit the capital.
The roads are so bad at present, that the foreign
mail lately arrived 56 hours after the time. • •
The post from Moscow has brought news that a
quantity of goods, among which are many parcels be-
longing to the first German houses, has been unexpect-
edly placed under seal, by Commissioners sent from
the Custom-office here. The cause is not known, h.t
was supposed to be connected with a large parcel cf •
printed calicoes that lately arrived at Moscow. This
event has thrown the merchants of Moscow into con-
sternation ; the result is impatiently expected.
It is said that orders have also been sent to Liehan
and Riga to make sequestrations there ; the affair
excites extraordinary sensation here.
The warm and rainy weather has caused the ice to
disappear, and the bridge over the Neva is replaced.

Dutch Papers to the 14th inst. have reached
A private letter from Pott-au• Prince-says, that seve-
ral houses there had resolved not to send away any
more goods to Bremen, but to Amsterdam of ltotte:-
dam, because their ships must stop at Brake, and
cannot get up to the city, whither the goods are con-
veyed by lighters, and as the masters of these vesseis
are under no proper controul, great lossesare sustained.
AMSTERDAM, DEC. 13.—Exchange on London, 3'9. 1 I.—TAo
months, 39. 8.

We bate received Brussels Papers to the 14th in-
stant. An article from Trieste, of the 2,6 th
mentions a report of the Turks haling set fire to
Missolongi—that the whole of Acarmciia leas' un
desolated with fire and sword, as well by the Grs.:6;s
as the Turks.
A private letter from Inspruck says positively t':•.:t
the occupation of the Two Sicilies will be continucc:,
and that the Allied Powers will 4ecide in the .errcl
when it shall cease; and that Piedmont will be ev.-.-
cuated by the Austrians, except Alexandria, %%Lich
they will keep for three year.
We have heard from another source that Picdmort
is to be evacuated by the Austrian troops in tinee
equal portions; in January, in May, and in August,
of the approaching year. Of the Austrian force
Naples, about half is to be withdrawn immediately,
and a more moderate rate of contribution for the
support of the . remaining half to be promptly
adopted. The final evacuation of this kingdom
however, deferred to that period when it 44 may be
considered safe and expedient."

The following are extracts:
BRUSSELS, DECEMBER JO.

We learn from the frontiers of Ft once, that a Royal
Ordonnance has just been published in the depart-
ments, calling out all the_ young soldiers of the class-
of 1821, who are disposable at this moment. This
new levy, in addition to that of 40,000 men of the
class of 1822, will produce a considerable augmenta-
tion of the army.

TRIESTE, NOVEMBER 24.
Letters from Ancona, of the 19th, announce, that
the Turks have advanced as far as Missolongi, and
that the Christian inhabitants have fled into the moun-
tains. The Turks, it is said, have set fire to Misso-

longi ; and, in general, all Acarnania ha, been deso-
lated with fire and sword, as well by the Greeks as
by the Turks. Hence it is believed that the want of
provisions will not permit the latter to remain there
any length of time.
