CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, DECEMBER 29.

General 'Donadieu, as Reporter of the Commit-
-lee of Petitioh, noticed among others the Petition of
a Monsieur Crestin, late Advocate at Gray, who
complained that he had been unjustly struck off the
roll of Advocates by the late Keeper of the Seals (De
Berre), and prayed that the decision ofthe bite Keeper
of the Seals might be referred to the present holder
of that office. The General stated that the C,.ogamit-
tee acquiesced in the prayer of the Petition.
The Order 'of the Day was moved—all the left
side voted against it. The numbers were, 142 for,
and 135 against the motion, so that it was only car-
ried by seven. It was remarked that more than
twelve Members of the left were absent. -

PARIS, DECEMBER 29.
His Majesty heard Mass in his
apartments, and
afterwards transacted btriiness with M. de Lam iston,
Minister of the Household ; and in the afternoon with
M. de Villele, Minister of Finance. He also gave au-
diences to Madame de Sorgan and the Countess Rapp.
M. de Choiseul and M. de. Boisgelin, who have
given in their resignation of their functions of Major-
General and of Adjutant-General of the National
Guards, have been replaced by the Count Jules de Po-
lignite and the Viscount Sosthene de la Rochefoucault.
The house of Arnsteein Eskles, at Vienna, i eceivei
on the 19th Dec.qnber.a courier which left Cnnst in-
tinople on the 29th of November. At th it date no
disastrous event had occurred in the capital of the
Turkish Empire, except sorrinosonflagrations. under
the cover of which the Asiatic Turks attempted
to plunder some houses in the Bazaar, but were se-
nerely repressed.
The red flags had actually been hoisted at Bel-
grade, and this circumstance had given some weight
to the sinister reports circulated on the Austrian Iron-
tier. But the Fir man for the war against Persia is
the sole reason for the measure adopted at Belgrade,
and for the discprietude which the inhabitants mani-
fested on that occasion.
Little Wallachia is evacuated by the Mussulman
forces, and the Turkish frontiers on the side of Aus-
tria are stripped of troops as in a period of peace.
The Funds, which had fallen at Vienna on the 16th
and 17th, in consequence of the news from Constan-'
tinople, rose on the 18th as soon as the falsehood of
the reports was ascertained.--./truran/ de Paris.

ZANTE, NOVEMBER So.

After the naval victory of the Greeks. on the 11th
October, martial law was proclaimed in our island;
the ordinary tribunals were immediately suspended,
and the most of our distinguished islanders were ar-
rested and thi own into prison, without knowing what
was imputed to them, or the-fate which awaited them.
The principal are, Calyvas, Dionysius Taliopetre, his
nephew Pinageote, Michel Verecios, Dionysius Da-
Spyredon Sicoure, Eustathius Cariates, the
brothers John and Demetrius Pethamenos, and Con-
stantine llieracare.

A great number of peasants have been condemned
to death by military commissions. After the execu-
tion, their dead bodies were thrown into cages of
iron, in which they are still exposed on the summits
of hills, as if by way of menacing the rest of the
people with a similar fate. After this scene of horror
and terror, the Government ordered the general dis-
arming of the island. The inhabitants of the capital
with murmuring obeyed this order, but the inhabit-
ants of the country still continue to resist. They
regard this disarming as the last degree of dishonour
to which they can be exposed.
The Government, by way of constraining them,
had recourse to another measure: it invited the citi-
zens the dearest to the People to repair to the church
a Our Lady of Petrides, when it seized them as
hostages, and now retains them in the citadel. They
are St in number; the following are the names of
some of them :—(.,oscine, Pergadinos, and Ventonre,
all three clergymen; Stellius Mecalize, Julio, Do-
menigine, Nicolas Messala, Peter Macrys, Robert
and Dionysius Solomon, Marcus Flambouriare, Do-
lor and Dionysius Volterra, Gradenigue and Nicolas
Psernaits, Jahn Secoin, Theophilus Francopole, Ste.—
Notwithstanding this measure, the peasants still per-
sist in not giving up their arms. Fresh English troops
have disembarked in the island; a squadron com-
posed of frigates and vessels of war has its batteries
directed against the town. Wherever we turn our
eyes we meet only the apparatus of war; the island
has the aspect of a blockaded country. A great num-
ber of our inhabitants have voluntarily banished them-
selves; the movement is far from being appeased.
The Spectateur Oriental of the 2d December says,
" The murders recommenced in the Frank quarter a
month ago. These murders, which usually fall on
the Greeks, are committed under the eyes of the Eu-
ropeans, threaten their personal safety,, frighten their
families, suspend commercial operations—violence is
encouraged by impunity—the public disorder has be-
come intolerable."
CONSTANTINOPLE, OCTOBER 7.
In consequence of the Firman of the Grand Seig-
nior, the Janisaries have conceived themselves au-
thorised to commit with impunity every excess, and
the suburbs of Constanainople have been the theatre;
they burnt, pillaged, massacred, and a great number
at young girls have again been carried off to be sold.

The Paris Papers of Sunday, with the interme-
diate Journals of Thursday and Friday, do not furnish
us with any sufficient cause for the great depression
of the Funds, which from Thursday to Saturday had
varied no less than four per cent. The circumstance

appears to have excited serious apprehensions in the
Ministers, who caused the followiag paragraph to be
inserted in the Moniteur of Friday :
" Malevolence has gratified itself for some days past, by cir-
culating various reports, tending to disturb the tranquillity which
France enjoys, and to shake public credit. If we are to credit
these rumours, armies are about to be assembled at the foot of
the Pyrennees, but no authority can be quoted to sanction these
wanton fabrications. The Government has assembled on the
frontier of the Pyrenees, the troops strictly necessary for the for-
mation of a Sanitory Cordon. This Cordon will be maintained
in order that no security may be wanting against the introduction
into France of the destructive scourge which ravages Spain."

This paragraph was also sent to the opposition pa-
pergthe Courier Francais and theConttitutionuel, with
a request by the Secretary General of the War De-
partment, that it might be inserted. It does not, how •
ever, appear to have had the effect of keeping up the
Funds.

An article from Smyrna, dated the Sd December,'
goes very far to shew the gross exaggerations of some
of the Ministerial Papers relating to the atrocities of
the Greeks, and confirms all the reports which bad
previously reached ns of the barbarities of the Turks.
It is an official Note, addressed on the 14th November,
to the Pacha and all the Turkish Authorities of
Smyrna, by the European Consuls resident there,
on the subject of the assassinations that were.claily
committed. It states, that
" For a whole month murders have reeommeneed in the
quarter of the Franks, notwithstanding the positive orders of the
Grand Seignior. Those murders, which are committed on the
Greeks, are generally perpetrated under the eyes of the Euro-
peans, threaten their personal safety, terrify their families, sus-
pend commercial operations, and when heard of in our countries,
put a stop to that trade which enriches the Ottoman States
Europeans no longer dare entrust their property to a City where
every individual erijoys the right of lift and death, that terrible and
supreme right which only belongs to the Sovereign, 'and Which
may only be exercised by his Representatives." It adds, w vio-
lence has been encouraged by impunity, and public disorders
have increased every day. They are became intolerable."

HASSAN PACHA, in his answer to the Consuls, in-
forms them, that he will lay their Note before the
Public Authorities of the City, and that he did not
doubt but proper measures would be adopted to re,
store order. But, notwithstanding these assurances,
assassinations continue, and Smyrna is the theatre of
the most 'evoking atrocities. One stratagem resorted
to by the savage Turks to secure their victims is, we
believe, without a parallel even in a nation prover-
bial for its barbarity. The massacres that daily took
place induced some of the *reeks to seek means to
escape their sanguinary and implacable enemies.—
The Turks, aware of this, caused a vessel to be fitted
out, under the Greek flag : the unconscious fugitives
crowded on board, and paid a large sum on condi-
tion of being conveyed beyond the Sea Castle. But
no sooner had these demons in human shape got the
money and made sure of their victims, than they
were put on board an Algerine brig, and were all
massacred. Such are the tender mercies of the
Turks, whom the Courier vindicates.

The German Papers have been particularly active

, data

in Orcaladag reports of a revolitiop
at Constantinople. An maisle from '
the led: ult. says: 04 After the arrival of 'two con-
.
riers, who were conducted by the Prince de Metter-
nich to the Emperor, the report has been cireulited
that there have been dreadful scenes at Constanti-
nople; that the Sultan Mabmoad and his sons have
been strangled, and that upwards of 6,000 Christians
have been massacred."

A Nureniberg article of the 21st ult. states the re.
ceipt of letters on that day from Vienna, coming
'from a very respectable source, which confirmed the
,death of the GRAND 5R10N10R.....41 Rivers of blood
(it is added) have flowed at Constantinople. The Je
nissaries have massacred a considerable number of
Christians. It is even asserted, but this wants con-
firmation, that two Ambassadors lost their lives."
But the Hamburgh Coryespondast,with the strongest
predilection for the marvellous and the horrible, in a
letter from Vienna, dated December 16, tells the fol-
lowing story :—" Constantinople is no morel A con-
flagration far more terrible, of longer duration, and
more destructive than the great fire of Moscow, has
reduced this capital to asirs. The Grand Seignor
and his son Abdul Mirtad have been murdered, as
have also the Mufti, the Reis Effendi, the Capudan
Pacha, and many other great Officers of the Empire.
All these atrocities and devastations are the work of
the Janissaries. One of the most determined of their
leaders, an Orta, is mule Sultan. The Foreign Am-
bassadors had the good, fortune to escape in time to
Buiukdere and Scutari. All the Greeks and Franks
weTe murdered.. These horrors were accompanied
by an earthquake in the environs of Constantinople,
which swallowed up towns and villages."
We stated yesterday, that advices from the Turkish
Capital, of the 10th inst. were silent on the subjects
on which the German Journalists have so dilated.

An article from Leipzic, of the 17th ult. states,
that a respectable commercial house had received
advices from Vienna, that the Russians had passed
the Pruth, and that war had broken out, which has
been confirmed by other news. War has been pro-
claimed at Constantinople against Persia.
The camas from the French Papers, up to Mon- i
day last, will be found in a preceding column.

Some of our contemporaries who talk of the mag-
nanimity and liberality of the Emperor of RUSSIA,
seem to forget the policy of that Court, which, from
the time of PETER the GREAT to that of ALEXANDER
" the bringer of blessings," as his subjects wished to
call him, has been uniformly one of aggrandisement.
When the great CATHERINE exclaimed, "my capital
is too near my frontier, I must have Finland," the
possession of this Province became the unceasing
policy of the Russian Cabinet, which never was
abandoned until the wishes of CATHERINE were rea-
lized. Poland—but we must not blame Russia alone
for annihilating the independence of that nation ; all
the great Powers of Europe shared in the infamy of
its first partition, and Russia has only profited
by circumstances to add the whole to her empire.
On her Persian frontier she has displayed the same
spirit ; but the great master-project of this ambitious
Power is Turkey ; in all her wars and alliances, in all
her negociations and treaties, Russia has never lost
sight of this darling object. The first step was gain-
ing possession of Wallachia and Moldavia; and in
the plan of partition formed at Erfurth between the
Emperor ALEXANDER and his good brother Nero-
LEON, whose cheek he kissed, and whose obsequious
Ally he then was, it was agreed that the Turkish
Provinces should fall to the share of Russia, and
Spain to that of France. It was after this under-
standing between the two Sovereigns that overturn
were made to England; and while the negociation
was still pending, BoNeeeRTE declared to his Senate
that the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia
were annexed to the dominions of his friend and ally,
the Emperor ALEXANDER. When, however, BONA-
pArri found England determined not to treat upon
any basis which did not expressly admit of the eva-
cuation of Spain ; and that by entering into such terms
he left a decided advantage to Russia with respect to
Turkey, without reaping any benefit to himself from
the political bargain made at Erfurth, he changed his
views. The Continental System, which he endeavoured
to justify in attributing the general calamities of,
Europe to a tyrannical perseverance in war on the part
of England, furnished him with a sufficient pretext for
engaging Russia to continue her war against Turkey,,
which had just entered into terms of friendship with,
England. NAPOLEON, on the other hand, prevailed'
on the Turkish Government to insist on the mtitu-
lion of the two Principalities occupied by the Rus-
sian armies, and to continue hostilities so long as the
Russian Court should withhold its consent to the rnea-
sure. The desire of BOHAPARTS to keep these two
Powers at vasiance with each other increased when
he had formed the plan of subsequently invading
Russia, then molested on one side by the Tusks, and
on the ether by the. Persians, and she was forced to
employ considerable armies in defence of her frontiers.
The exhausted state of Turkey, the mediation of Eng-
land, and the impatience of Russia, pressed by the
hostile preparations of France, evidently► intended
against her, hastened the conclusion of peace between
the Mussulman Power and the Russians, who were
compelled to relinquish their designs on ;Moldavia
and Wallachia.

Since 1812, to the conclusion of peaces Russia as
:oo actircly employed against France to think of

netreoacineets. She has not, bewmt, voted long
on her arms without seeking a quarrel with Turkey,
and making demands of such a nature, and urged
in such a manner, as either to ensure the peaceful
possession, in the firstiostance, of the two Principali.
ties; or a pretext to seize on them by force- What
her ulterior views are, we have before stated. Milting

to death with his own hand.

“ The number of prisoners taken I have not been

contributions, threatened open •iolence if they did
not rise and join them (the Greeks) against the Turks.
Upon this the Chiefs of the villages called for protec-
tion from our Governor. How this matter will end
I am yet to learn ; although I am. not without
apprehensions of danger for our present quietness
and tranquillity, as those Albanian rovers are strongly
suspected to be part of Ali Pacha's emissaries, who
have already done so much mischief in this part cf

" A part (say four two-deckers, one frigate, two
corvettes, and four or five small vessels) of the Turkish

have taken to the shore, and began their old tricks
of p hindering and murdering the poor defenceless
inhabitants in the streets.

gi I hear Lord Strangford was to give a Note to
the Sultan (himself) upon this subject to-day, corn•
plaining of this evil. The German Minister had a
conference with the Turkish Ministers on the 22d in-
stant, on the subject of Russia's demands, and the
Ministers of other Powers will follow. This question
is as uncertain as ever."

rOYSECRATION OF
IGHTO THE RO
cYAL CHAPEL.]
BRN, k. . 1

This Chapel, founded by his MAJESTY, has been
consecrated yesterday by the Bishop of CHICHUTZR. I
At an early hour the principal avenues leading to the
Chapel were occupied by carriages, and though the
morning was very unfavourable, the number solicit-
ing for admission was great.
The exterior of the Chapel is a simple and elegant
structure, but the approach to it is not completely
finishe +. The Chapel is fitted up in a style of suit-
able magnificence. The pulpit and reading-desk
were richly covered with crimson velvet—the com-
munion-table was decorated with similar costliness,
and encompassed with a gilded railing: a golden
chalice, Sic. stood on the table. The gallery. pro-
ieccting over one extremity of the Chapel, is chastely
4113 beautifully painted : it was occupied by the Gen•
flew') anti Choi isters of his Majesty's Chapel
Sr. James's. At the apposite extremity, and separate
farm) the aisle, is the space assigned to the Sovereign
tind his suite.
A few minutes before eleven o'clock, the Chapel
was opened to those who had previously obtained
tickets to witness the ceremonial of the consecration.
The Chapel soon presented a scene of the most grati-
tyinz character : it was delightful to behold the noble
and illtictrious of the land assembling to petition the
ALMIGHTY " that he would favourably approve and
graciously accept the godly purpose of setting apart
a place, in a solemn manner, to the performance of
the mikes of religious worship, and to beg his bless-
ing tm the undertaking."
The ,eats in the Chapel were occupied previously
to the commencement of the Form appointed for its
enn,ec;ation, and several most distinguished persons
were compelled to stand during the ceremony.
His MAJESTY entered the Chapel at about half an
hour after eleven o'clock. The curtains placed be-
tween that portion of the Chapel assigned to his
MA-
JESTY and the aisle were thrown aside, and in the
centre discovered the KING, dressed in the uniform
of the Royal Tenth Hussars, His MAJESTY appeared
excellent health, and was most unremitting in his
attention to the service which followed, joining with
much fervour in the responses, which were very cor-
rectly and beautifully sung by the Choir.

Oa the left, and separated from his MAJESTY by
a crimson curtain, were the Princess ESTERHAEY,
Lllir HARCOURT, Lord and Lady CONYNONAM ; on
the right of his -MAJESTY StOOd Sir BENJAMIN BLOOM-
FIELD and several other distinguished members of
his MAJESTY'S Suite.
Bi•hop, his Chaplains, the Preacher, the offi-
ciating Minister, and other Clergy, passed through
the middle aisle to the communion table, repeating,
iternately, the six first verses of the 24th Psalm—
the remaining verses by the Choir. The Bishop and
Lis Chaplains went within the rails, the officiating
Miiiister to the desk, and the Preacher near to the
rulpit. The Bishop, sitting in his chair, received the
KING'S mandate for the consecration of the Chapel,
hen

magnificent, nor s store suspicions diy, thin that to
which his text referred, the dedication of that temple
to the worship of the A Luna/MT. The Prelate? then al-
luded to the various manifestations which Goo couch-
safed to make on that occasion. He then passed on
to the idolatry and the consequent rail of the Jewish
people, and then by a natural transition to the coming
Of CHRIST, when sacrifices were abolished by the To:
luntary offering of the incarnate SAVIOUR. The SA-
VIOUR of the world disclosed to the woman of Sa-
maria, the nature of his mission, and spewed that the
period of a restricted and ceremonial Service had
passed away. " Believe me, the hour corned' when
neither in this mountain nor in Samaria shall ye ware'
ship the Father. GOD is a spirit, and theyahat won.
ship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."—.
He proceeded to :hew, that though Goo dwelt not in
temples made with hands, yet had the Diving Air
?Hog and his Apostles, by the influence of example
proved. that external ordinances were of much ins-
portance. The Preachel, in a most able and im-
pressive discourse, dwelt upon the peculiar advantage
derived from sacred worship, and, above all, from
the excellent Service which the Church of England
had adopted, and concluded by praying that GOD'
would, of his infinite goodness, vouchsafe to the Mo.'
'larch of this kingdom those blessings which he had
,promi•ed, " that he would grant him his heart's de-
sire, and fulfil all his prayers."—After the Sermon,
the choir sting—
" atilelujah, for the Loan Goo omnipotent reigneth."
" The Kingdom of this world is become the Kingdom of our
Loan and his CHRIST; and he shall reign for ever and ever;
King of Kings and Lord of Lords."
The Bishop having pronounced the final blessing,
Gon save the King" was finely sung by the choir.
The Service concluded about half-past two o'clock,
when hi, MAJESTY retired, and the congregation left
the Chapel.
The vocal parts of the ceremony were performed
by the Gentlemen and Choristers of his Majesty's
Chapel Royal. St. James's. The organ was played
by Mr. ATTWOOD. Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral.
His Ilasesry was attended in the Royal seat by the
Clerk of the Closet, the Very Reverend the Dean of
HEREFORD. Among the Clergy in attendance were
the Rev. Messrs. TATUM, EVERA RD, LOVELL, ace.
The congregation was numerous and distinguished.
A . ong those present were remarked—
Prince and Princess Esterhazy, the Duke of Dorset, Lord

Ravensworth and daughters, Lord Norntanby, Lord and Lady
Howard of Effingham, the Marquis and Marchioness Conyng-
ham ; Lady Elizabeth, Lord Francis, and Lady Maria Col:lng-
ham •' Lord and Lady Harcourt, Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, Lord
Gwydir, Lord High Chamberlain, Sir A. Barnard, Sir E. Nagle,
Lord Eardley, Lady Says and Sale, lion. Miss Twisleton, &c.
We have thus endeavoured to lay before our Readers
a full account of this ceremony. The solemnity was
indeed one of the most affecting character. The con-
gregation, comprising several of the most illustrious
characters of the land—the aged Bishop, venerable
for piety, for rank, and for an age extended beyond
the usual life of man—the devotion of our beloved
MONARCH, who joined most fervently in the Sacred
Services—all combined to present a scene which, ele-

which he placed on the communion-tahle ; and ti vated as it was by the solemnity of sacred music, and

The usual prayers at the Consecration of a Chapel
then followed ; after which (the Bishop sitting) the
Act of Consecration was read by the Chancellor and
signed by the Bishop, and ordered to be registered,
and was laid on the table.
The Minister read the service, except where it was
otherwise directed. The 84th, 122 d, and 132 d Psalms
were then chaunted by the Choir. The proper Les-1
sons having been read, the Collects followed, and the
officiating Minister then passed on to the General
Thanksgiving, which being said, the Bishop intro.l
duced the following prayer for the KING;
44 Blessed be thy name, 0 Goo, that it bath pleased thee by
thy lloty Spirit to dispose the heart of thy Servant, our Sove-
reign Lord George the Fourth, to eve and dedicate this build-
' ing to thy honour and worship. Bless his services, and accept
the work of his hand. Remember hint concerning this act of
piety—forget not the kindness that he bath here shewed for the
house of his Goo, and the religious instruction of his people;
and grant that all who shall enjoy the benefit of this pious work,
may spew forth their thankfulness, by making a right use of It,
to the glory of thy blessed name, through Jesus OMIT our
Loan. Amen."
This Prayer for the KING, as the founder, being
said, the officiating Minister concluded with the
Prayer of St. Chrysostom, and the Blessing. 'The
Sanctus was sung previously to the commencement of
the Communion Service, " Holy, holy, holy."
The Communion Service having been read, the
Evistle and Gospel followed ; then the Nicene Creed;
after which the Preacher, the Rev. Mr. Peansori,
ascended the pulpit, and took his text from the latter
Fart of the 63d verse of the first of Kings. " So Me
King and all the children of Israel dedicated the house
ty the LORD." The Preacher, after some preliminary I
observations, proceeded to observe, that in the early
periods of the world, the worship of one Goo main-
tained its influence; but though dispensations to
rove the perfection and the truth of this pure system
worship, were made to man, still, holvever, they
were not sufficient to persuade them frod polytheism
:Ind idolatry. To his favoured people GOD vouch-
safed this law, and " his name was known in Judah,
and great in israel." The Great Monarch, David,
had a temple erected to GOD, but it was reserved for
Solomon, his son, to build a place • worthy of the
LAD. The woild, perhaps, never beheld a more

or
a grand performance of Sacred Music, vocal and in-
strumental, took place at the Palace in the evening.
The several pieces were performed by the Gentlemnen
and Choristers of the Chapel Royal, St. James's ; and
the organ was played by Mr. Arrwoon, organist of
St. Paul's Cathedral.
Monday evening his MAJESTY gave a party, at
which were present, by invitation, the Earl and
Countess MORLEY, Lord BECTIVE, Lord and Lady
RA VENSWORTII, and the Misses LYDDELL, Lord

residence on the West Cliff, by a succession of the
most splendid entertainments.
Rands of music paraded the town of Brighton on
Monday night, and ushered in the New Year with
their melifluous sounds. The streets were full of per-
sons till a very late hour.
' The heightening of the fence or wall in front of
the Pavilion at Brighton, is now nearly completed.

Lord ST. Hnttw's left town yesterday, on a visit
to his MAJESTY, at the Pavilion, Brighton.
His MAJESTY has now in his possession, a fine
wolf-dog, which followed the Royal carriage from
Herrenhausen to Wetzlar, a distance of more than 70
English miles. His MAJESTY observing the dog, or-
dered him to be taken care of, and he has since proved
so sagacious an animal, as to become quiz a favou-
rite with his MAJESTY. Lie is called Wetzlar, from the
place where he was first takekup.
This morning a meeting took place in the Regent's
Park, between Captain C—, late of the Royal
Navy, and Mr. o—, a Gentleman of fortune and 1,
a native of the sister kingdom, residing in Curzon-
street, May-fair. The parties entered the Palk soon
after eight o'clock, and proceeded to a sequestered
spot near St. John's Wood, when the ground being
measured, they fired at twelve paces. The first fire
did not take effect, and an attempt was made at an
Amicable arrangement, but did nut succeed. On the
second lite, the Captain's ball struck his adversary
in the upper part of the thigh, and he fell : he was
instantly conveyed home. The cause of dispute is
stated to have originated at Drury-Lane Theatre, on
Saturday evening, during the performance of Giovanni
in Ireland. It was not, however, until last night
that the ukcior measure was decided upon.
