Extract of a Private Letter from Berlin, dated
Dec. '29, 18'21 :—" His Majesty has lately received
a very tine present from the China Manufactory, con-
sisting of a superb vase, on which the grand proces-
sion of the Court Festival of Lalla Itookh is repre-
sented. His Majesty has been pleased to order that
t ie vase may be placed in his own study, and
that a similar one be manufactured, which is to be sent
to St. Petersburgh, as a present to the Grand
Duchess, his daughter, who represented Lalla Rookh.
Professor Vogel, a famous portrait painter, arrived
here from Dresden a few days ago, to exhibit his por-

The Fiend) Papers of Sunday reached us this fore-
noon, but their contents possess little interest. The
KING continues in good health, and daily transacts
business with some of his Ministers. The Chamber of.
Deputies met on Saturday, when, of 450 Members, 419
were pi e,ent—and this on an occasion when there
was no business of importance—a degree of attention
on the pan of the French Deputies which is highly
creditable. The Bureaux woe renewed, and then
the Chamber adjourned.

An article from Perersburgh, of the 14th Decem-
ber, states that the Government Manifesto against
the Porte, which was expected with much anxiety,
had not appeared : war, however, appeared inevi-
table, and the general opinion of the nation was
strongly in its favour. The Russians considered it
as a religious war, on account of the destruction of
the Greek churches. On the day before, an order
was given cot organizing twelve regiments of Cos-
sack Hulans. Nothing, it is added, more clearly an-
nounces the approaching commen cement of hostilities,
General WILIAMANOFF, Governor of Georgia, is
said to have transmitted intelligence that the Per-
sian army had actually taken Erzerum. The Pacha
of Bagdad, who had gone to its relief, had sustained
a signal defeat. Armenia is stated to be in com-
plete insurrection. and that the inhabitants had in-
vited the Russian General YERMOLOBT to occupy their
territory.

The Diet of Cracow was opened on the 3d ultimo,
when the Senator GRODZECKI was chosen Mareschal,

,
and Count STANISLAW; Woxatcler was, for tr.e tro
ird
time, nominates President of the Senate for three
years. One of the first acts of the Chatnber of Re-'
presentatives Was to abolish the title of &zedlacy
given to its Members.
It is stated from Frankfort, under date of the fllst
December, that the Gazette de Necker had published
a letter from Munich, in which it was positively af-
firmed, " that Austria. on the definitive refusal of the
Russian ultimatum by the Turks, had taken the reso-
lution to declare war against the Porte conjointly
with four other great Christian Powers."
The opinion at Frankfort was, that as soon as war
was declared, the Russian army ought to leave the
Turks in Moldavia and Wallachia, pass the Danube
at Ismail, and advance rapidly on Varna and
Tchoumla, the two fortresses which protect the road
to Constantinople. But, it is added, in order to insure
the success of this mancenvre, it would be necessary
to have a large Russian army of reserve on the Pruth,
to keep the Turks in check.

A private letter from Vienna, in the Gazette de
France, dated December 25, says—" Many Greek
commercial houses in that city pretend to have re-
ceived news direct from Dalmatia, which announces
that Churchild Facha had been mortally wounded,
in his last attack on Janina ; and that his troops,
discouraged by this event, had retreated 20 leagues
from the place they had besieged." The same letter
mentions a report that had been circulated, of new
outrages at Smy.na, where bands of enraged Mus-
sulmen had massacred from 800 to 900 Greeks. No
date is mentioned when these events took place; but
an article from Odessa, though not mentioning the
numbers, states a great massacre of the Christians to
have taken place, from the 20th to the '23d November.

From these circumstances we are led to believe
that both these accounts relate to the outrages at
Smyrna, detailed in the STAR on Saturday, and of
which an Evening Paper of yesterday gave a new
version in a "P, ivate Letter," asserting, that the
facts " had not before been made public." An ar-
ticle from Trieste, of the 2•lth December, states, that
a merchant vessel had arrived from Smyrna in 15
days, the Captain of which declared that tranquillity
had been restored in that city, and that all the mar-
kets and shops had been re-opened.

From Konigsburg we learn that the Director of
the Itnyal Bank, a man generally esteemed, had sud-
denly disappeared. The Inspector immediately insti-
tuted an inquiry into the state of the finances of the
Bank, when it was found that there was a deficiency
of 95,000 crowns (about 1221.,000 sterling). Erin esses
had been sent to Dantzic, Berlin, ice. but no traces
of the offender could be found.

Letters from Constantinople to the 2d December,
by the way of Odessa, mention that that capital has
been the theatre of afflicting events, but are entirely
silent as to the death of the Sultan, or the destruc-
tion of the city by fire, which some of the German
Papers asserted so confidently.

the report of the Turks having accepted the Rus-
sian nilimattim is no longer repeated in any of the
Get man Papers. There can be no doubt that it was
what we asserted—a mere stock jobbing rumour.
The intelligence from Spain in the French Papers
is neither recent nor interesting.

PRIVATE LETTER.
is PARIS, JANUA RY S.
" The failure of the eminent banking-house of
has created great consternation amongst the
English. Regarded as greatly superior in solidity to
the house of Messrs. —, and. doing business at
less than one-half of the exorbitant charges of that
house, an immense number of the first English fami-
lies did business with —. One Gentleman loses
upwards of £3,000; the Earl of A—, ZOO; the
Earl of S—, £1,500, &c.

Mr. LOVEDAY.B Petition to the Deputies on the
rape and seduction of his child in a French boarding-
school, has been presented by the Count de GI RA awn.
Persons of the highest clerical and civil rank are im-
plicated in these crimes. The young Lady, who has
taken refuge in the Lying-in Hospital, seems alone
insensible of the horror of her conduct,. for she has
received an absolution—of the efficacy of which she
is fully convinced—for the crimes she has committed.
Let English parents beware how they trust their
daughters in a French boarding-school. There are
very few French school-Mistresles who would not
sacrifice beauty and innocence to the passion of a
Dignitary in the Church or a Person of Rank in the
State, receiving always a bribe for such worthy ser-
vices. This is the reason that most respectable French
families have tutors at home."

We mentioned in the STAR, on Monday, that an
English Gentleman had presented a Petition to the
Chamber of Deputies, in consequence of two of his
daughters and a niece, whom he had placed in a
boarding-school at Paris, having been seduced to a
convent, where they refused to give them up to their
distracted. parent- The. name .of the Gentleman is
Mr. LOVEDAY. His narrative, which is of consider-
able length, has 'been circulated in Paris. It com-
plains that the credulity of these females had been
abused " by mFlias of superstitious terrors, besettings,
and false miracles, for the purpose of suddenly con-
verting them to Catholicism, in the absence, without the
knowledge, and contrary to the wish of their parents.'

—The boarding school at which these young Ladies
were placed was kept by Mademoiselle licamn, who
gave Mr. LOVEDAY the most positive assurances that
she would not disturb their religious faith. The fa.
ther, however, on seeking to remove them from the
school in October last, learnt that they had become
Roman Catholics, and that their conversion had been
effected in a fortnight.' He hints as if they bad
been terrified into Popery by the story of the Jew
and the Bleeding Host, once so successful an er.
gine in frightening proselytes to that faith.,
Mr. LOVEDAY succeeded in recovering his younger
daughter and his niece; but the eldest not only t,.
fused to return home, but went to a convent; end
her father has hitherto been unable to induce her
return, or even to obtain a sight of her. The con
duct of this young Lady is such as not merely to le.
ilea disgrace upon her adopted Church, but upon
human nature. She insults, and teaches others try
insult, her father, whom she sees agonized at her
estrangement ; and imagines this shocking violatirn
of the most sacred ties to be the best mode of provili;
the sincerity and sanctity of her new faith.

Private Letters from Spain have been received by
the last Mail, which contain a good deal of informa-
tion respecting that country. One of them, flora
Madrid, states, as a report, that the KING
dismiss any of his Ministers until his authority ha;
been everywhere re-established, and tl.e Officers ap.
pointed by him admitted to the exercie of their
functions. All is quiet in Galicia. The Authoritie;
of Seville are •said to be willing to resign the com-
mand of the province to those appointed by the KING
to supersede them ; and the insurrection in :Cavan e
is either terminated or so far suppressed as no longer
to excite any anxiety. The last effort of these in:ur-
gents was made on the 2Sth ult. at Bern. Their in-
tention was to get possession of the post of the Spa.
nish Custom-house, hut they were vigorously relur':,cd
by the Douaniers, with the loss of several killed All,/
wounied. Among the latter were two Curates.
On the 24th of December, the Curate Gce•rnr..t,
who was formerly a Guerilla Captain, having re.
nounced his clerical functions, collected a number
banditti, made his appearance in the district of
Billd-
r•an, and demanded forty rations of provisions. h
the meantime the Militia assembled voluntarily, and
engaged the Insurgents ; a few sabre cuts were ex-
changed, and sonic of the rebels taken prisoners.

Sunday, his MAJESTY attended Divine Service at
the new Chapel Royal, Brighten. Many families of
