There is no truth in the statement in a Morning
Paper, that the Marquis of HUNTLY, is going to the
Cape of Good Hope as Governor; but Sir RICHARD
PLASKET is appointed Colonial Secretary, in the place
of Colonel BIRD ;and Major-General DARLING proceeds
to New South Wales, to succeed Sir THOMAS BRISBANE.
We have received Brussels rapers to the 18th inst. and
the ihrstrianObserver of the Btla.The former contain com-
munications from Jassy, which explain what the Porte
understands by the evacuation of Moldavia and Walla-
chia. It is not the removal of every Turkish soldier from
those Principalities, but only of " those troops which
were not thought necessary to maintain public tranquil-'
lity in the interior." This, it is said, has been done; bat

as the individual whose judgmenewarto be exercited
on this occasion, was the Turkish Aga, he may have
retained, as necessary to maintain public tranquillity,
all the troops required to keep complete possession of
those provinces. In such a case, the evacuation would
be merely nominal, and could only be viewed by Russia
as an attempt at delusion. The Austrian Observer 'an-
nounces that an extraordinary Council was held at Con-
stantinople on the 27th of November, at which the SUL-
TAN assisted. Many important points, " partly military
and partly political," are said to have been. discussed,
and the whole terminated by orders being issued for
the stricter observance of religious ceremonies in all the
Mosques. The same Paper contends, that though the
Turkish fleet effected nothing, and was worsted in se-
veral encounters, it only lost half a dozen vessels by
the Greek fire-ships, and that " the situation of the
Empire, though in many respects critical, was by no
means desperate." This is a very strong admission to
be made by so zealous and constant a friend of the
Turks, and is; nowise qualified by the subsequent as-
sertion that the Egyptian armament was in the best con-
dition, and seemed disposed to effect a landing on. the
Morea, or, if it were too late,, would winter in Candia.

The French Paper s of Friday, and the Etoik of Satur-
day, have reached us. They contain no domestic intel-
ligence of any interest. The pole of the KING'S car-
riage broke last ThUtsday, on one of the quays, but his
MAJESTY and the DAUPHIN, by whom he was accom-
panied, Here not butt by the accident, and are said to
have been highly gratified by the deep anxiety which
the people displayed about their safety. The accounts
from Spain, in the form of correspondence, are of some
interest. The occupation of lvica by Constitutionalists
is doubted. Bards of Constitutional Guerillas ark
stated to have spread alarm in EAramadura and Ga..
licia. In connection with this, it is asserted that orders
have been sent to the French troops to halt, as they are
not to return, even in part, to France. This we also
think doubtful.

At Cadiz, a Military Commission had sentenced a
Spaniard to strangulation for having assassinated a
French soldier, and the sentence had been carried into
execution. _ _ _

These Papers state, that a Lord GORDON (probablyl
Colonel GORDO)4 had arrived at Napoli di Romania,.
with a hundred embroidered banners, sent to the Greeks
by distinguished Scotch Ladies. They also add, that 40
young English volunteers had repaired to the same city.
The intelligence from Constantinople comes down to the
13th ult. and states that IBRAHIM PACHA had quitted

the bay of Helicarnassus with the iutention of attempt-
ing a landing on the Nlurea. The Greeks, aware of the
impending danger, are said to have drawn thirty ships
from their station at Ipsara, and to have sent them to
ei nfoi ce their squadron- before Paras. A letter. from

Constantlsople, dated Nov. 11, says, that they had
alrea.ly had few skirmishes with the Egyptian fleet,
since it had left Ilelicatuassus, and had succeeded in
burning two corvettes.
The Sultana 11Eitt A 4, sister to the unfortunate Sultan
SELIM, died a short time ago, by which the SULTAN in-
herits neatly two millions of piastres.

Anther meeting of the Roman Catholic Association,
took place in Dublin on Thursday. A letter from Clon-
mel, signed by JOHN (not Marcrm) LUTHER, inclosed
the names of 74 persons who were anxious to become
.Members of the Roman Catholic Association. The
names of the candidates were real, and they were una-
nimously admitted Members. Several other persons
were admitted Members, including General O'FA a RELL
Amsnose. A Report was read, recommending that
Mr. O'Co NELL, Mr. Sir ter., and Mr. Belo, should pro.
teed to Eogland, to exert themselves in bringing their.
cprestion before Parliament, with every possible effect.
Mr. O'CONNELL frequently addressed the meeting.
In the course of one of his speeches he said, II Nations
have been driven mad by oppression ; he hoped that
Ireland would never be driven to resort to the system
pursued by the Greeks and South Americans, to ob-
tain their tights; he trusted in GOD they would never
be so driven. He hoped Ireland would be restored to
her rights; but, if that day should arrive; if she were
driven mad by persecution, he wished that a new Bo-
livar may be found—may arise—that the spirit of the
Greeks, and of the South Americans, may animate the
people of Ireland."
• Mr. Sum recommended that the Roman Catholics
should coalesce with the Presbyterians, and " unite in
sending to the Legislature one general, one common re-
monstrance against the enormous abuses of the Esta-
blished Church." Committees were appointed for pre-
paring Petitions, and the Meeting adjourned. The
amount of the Catholic rent for the week was stated to
be 9001. 9s. 7d. •
