AUGSBURG 11, DEC. 10.

We have received by to-day's post, letters from seve-
ral parts of the Archipelago, which come down to the
18th of November. They say, that a considerable num-
ber of armed Greek vessels, distinct from the main Beet,
cruise in all parts of the Archipelago, and land parties
on the Turkish coast to make booty,
,and carry off pi.-
soners. The coasts of Ariadimor are also threatened,
and even Smyrna would not he secure against a coup de
main, had not the Foreign Consuls interferred with the
Greek Government in favour of the city. Besides, that
city would not like to run the risk of a quarrel with the
Matitirre Powers of Europe, who are all interested in

the fate of Smyina, which is the centre of the European
commerce in the Levant. It is affirmed, that the news.
of the defeat of Ibrahim Pacha, near Stanchio,
induced the Greek Government at Hydra to order an

expedition against Candia, the possession of which
island, under present circumstances, would be of incal-
culable advantage to the Greeks.

Private letters from Lisbon, brought by the last Mail,
confirm the ttuth of our assertion, that the report of
there being a misunderstanding between Sir MudAm
A'Cotrar and the Portuguese Government, Has un-
founded. Our Ambassador is said to be indefatigable
in his exertions as the Representative of the British
Court. A total change in the Portuguese Ministry was
daily expected to take place, the Count de SUIMRRA'S
influence being consideted greatly on the wane. The
French Ambassador had quitted Li.bon in a vessel of
war, giving as a reason for his departure the necessity
of his attendance at the opening of the Chamb:rs. llis
return was not calculated upon ; and it was matter of
speculation who would be his successor. Accounts
had been received from Rio Janeiro, that on the Anni-
versary of the Birth of the Emperor of BRAZIL, a De-
cree was expected to be issued by him, permitting a
free intercourse between the merchant vessels of the two
countries, hostilities being confined exclusively to the
Government vessels of either country. Subsequent ac.
counts received in this eountry, notice a similar expec-
tation; but by the last advices, wh;ch reach to a much
later period, it appears no such step had been adopted
by the Brazilian Government.

Last night we received such of the French Papers of
Monday, as had not previousiy leaC lied us by Express.
The following are extracts :

FROM THE JOURNAL DES DP:EATS.
BREMEN, DECi:MIIER 15.

In our Gazelle is the follow ing article :
" The Prussian Consistory of the province of Saxe,
has published in the Official Gazettes of the Regency
of Magdeburg, No. 47, the following article:
" ITo restrain as much as possible the individuals.:
belonging to the ;min.:trials classes from pursuing the
course of studies, which gives rise to great inconveni-
ence, it is enacted by these presents, that the sons of
agriculturists, artizans, &c. although they may disdn-
guish themselves by their application and good con-
duct, if they have not talents sufficiently remarkable to
found a hope that they will prosecute their studies with
remarkable success, shall be excluded from the enjoy..
meat of the direction in the nomination of the Consis.
tory Royal, and shall not in futtne be proposed, unless
the testimony of the Members of Instruction of their ex-
traordinary talents shall be produced.' "

Nors—This exclusion of the children of the People from the
enjoyment of this money is an injustice towards the nation, who
contribute to furnish the Public Revenue—Germany and France
owe to that class devoted to industry, the greatest men in the
Church, State, and Literature.

twenty-ninth robbery they were apprehended. They
were tried at the last Assizes. Two, who hid escaped
from the galleys, were sentenced to labour tar life; and,
the others, among whom were several women, to hard
labour for eight years. The two, who had already es-
caped, said that they knew well enough how again to
effect their escape, but that they would take care not to
return to the department of la DI ome, where they were
too well known.
