BARCELONA, NOVEMBER 17.

The number of victims is becoming less consider-
able, because the number of inhabitants is much di-
minished. The malady is, however, still deadly;
According to the Bulletin, the deaths on the 12th
instant were forty-seven ; and on the 15th, thirty-six.
Thus there is no doubt that the malady approaches
its termination, for there are still 50,000 inhabitants
in the city.

The departure of the French Physicians is post•

paned to the 90 th instant. The delay has been occa-
sioned by the illness of M. Jouy. Five militiamen,
who were on guard at the gate of St. Antonio, fell
ill all at once. They were put to bed in the guard-
house itself, and expired in twelve hours.
Thirty-two Piedmontese or Neapolitan Officers,
and a considerable number of French ex-Officers, are
here hi the most frightful distress.

" We are assured that, in consequence of a new
Convention with Austria, the troops of that Power
will not remain in this kingdom more than three
years. Their number at present in the two Sicilies
exceeds 40,000.
The outrages of the brigands have been consider-
ably diminished by the activity of the Royal Cara-
bineers and the Provincial Police."

". We have here little business, and little money,
but perfect tranquillity. Further letters from Russia
continue to be tranquilizing: we know nothing cer-
tain, but we still hope.
" Hostilities have commenced between the Turks
and Persians: it is added, that the Turks have been
beaten. This :ircumstance will prevent the Asiatic
troops from coming to Europe. The day before yes-
terday, the Government sent thirty persons into the
different provinces of Turkey in Asia, to snake levies,
which are to march against the Persians."
The Augsburg Gazette says—" Letters from Con-
stantinople of the 27th October, state that when the
Sultan was apprized of the invasion of the Persians,
he sent one of his Equerries to the Court of the Shah
to appease the storm. The Pachas on the frontiers
had, at the same time, orders to do everything possi-
ble to resist the attack. The troops last arrived from
Asia continued their march towards Greece."
" It is also stated the Divan (of which the Deputies
of the Janissaries form a part) had resolved not to
yield to the last demand of Russia. The influence of
the English Minister (Lord Strangford) is much di-
minished, and the Porte distrusts all Christian Envoys.
—lt is hoped, however, that this resolution may be
changed, but the Janissaries are only anxious for war.
A great catastrophe appears approaching the Otto-
man Empire."
The Gazette ilniversdk says—." News hat been re-
ceived from Constantinople of the 28th ult. The De-
puties from Servia, which had long been there, have
been arrested, by order of the Grand Seignior."
A rich caravan, going from Belgrade to Salonica,
had been pillaged by the Turks, near Nissa.
The Nuremberg Gazette says, that ten Janissaries

were beheaded at Constantinople on the 10th ult. for
disturbing the public tranquillity, and several others
were ordered to be bastinadoed.—The Greeks are
said to have raised the siege of Patras.

The spirited Address of the French Chamber of
Deputies to the KING, and the somewhat intemperateanswer of his MAJESTY, appear to us subjects of more
importance than they may at first seem. tiiF
_
agreement of the KING and the Chamber is not c 2
any abstract question, but on the general policy
his Government in its relations with Foreign Powers,
The Address of the Chamber of Deputies, though firm,
was respectful, and was expressive of the feelings of's
large majority, nearly two-thirds of the wholeChamby,
In the course of the Address, the Deputies Sq...
" We congratulate you, Sire, upon your continued
amicable relations with Foreign Powers, in the just
confidence that a peace so precious has not been put,.
chased by 'sacrifices incompatible with the honour of
the Nation, and the dignity of yonr Crown;" aid
afterwards, when deploring the calamities of Europt,
they justly add, " Let religion, let the inte:ests
subjects, weigh fully in the scale of a generous
policy,,and these calamities will find a term"—
To this constitutional remonstrance of the Natloni
Representatives against the acts of his Ministers, the
KING makes a reply, which proves the truth of What
BONAPARTE once said of the BOURBONS, that not.
withstanding all their years of adversity, " they had
learned nothing; they had forgot nothing." Instead
of calmly satisfying the Deputies that the Govern.
merit had not been unmindful of the national honour,
however much circumstances might appear to coon.
tenance such a suspicion, he assumes the language
of an absolute Sovereign, and talks of his exile and
his persecutions as if they would justify any conduct
he might please to pursue. " In exile and persecution;
be says, "I have supported my rights, the honour of my
race, and that of the French name. On the Throne, sm.
rounded by my people, I feel indignant at the bare
supposition that I can ever sacrifice the honour of the
Nation, and the dignity of my Crown." This may,
perhaps, be considered by some as a proof of energs
and determination, but energetic measures by a So.
vereign in the situation of Loots XVIII. would be
better directed against any other body of men thau
the Chamber of Deputies ; and a quarrel with Aus-
tria or Russia would not endanger his Ma.ntsrfs
Crown half so much, as an avowed opposition to the
measures, or a contempt for the remonstrance, of the
National Representatives.
It is a matter of curious conjecture to know slut
line of conduct will be adopted by the Chamber d
Deputies on their next meeting. The Censorship m
the Press restrains every Journal from making the
slightest comment on this affair; but as it exempts
the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies, we via
with some anxiety for the next report of their pro•
ceedings. In the meantime, it is said, that immech•
ately after the KING'S Answer, the Ministers tendered
their resignation, which his MAJESTY refused toe.
cept : it is, however, extremely improbable that tley
should retain their situations, after their administ*
tion has been condemned in the Chamber of Deptie
by a majority of 176 to 98.

The latest intelligence from Turkey strengths
the opinion that a war between that Power and Roil
is inevitable. It is stated in letters from Conn*
tinople, of the 27th ult. that the Ottoman Porte to
refused to accede to the demands of Russia. Stases
this not the case, the opportunity for realizing the b.
ling project of the great CATHERINE, is too tempting,
even for a man of ALEXANDER'S moderation, to suffers
to escape him. The Greek:have been in open insane'
tion for several months without the Turks being ablest
make any decisive head against them ; and now that
the Persians are said to have entered Asiatic Turkey,
the Throne of the Ottoman Empire is shakes to its
very foundation. It only requires Russia to declare
war against Turkey, and of all European Powers
has always been the most ready to go to war to er
tend the limits of her empire, and the Emperors
brother, CONSTANTINE, whose name and ducal
were all prepared for such a destiny, may soon 14

of october, that the Hereditary Prince of Persia had
Almeria near Kars, at the head of 100,000 • '
soh sad that he has already occupied Erzerum, the ;
capital of that Province.
aThe Persians will not find much difficulty in oe-

cilliTing the whole of Asia, because all the troops

;so earraordinary sensation in the Divan. The Here-
gtary Prince of Persia is a sworn enemy to the

otake no resistance.
a Diplomatic letters avow the embarrassment of
&parte, with respect to Persia ; but they express the
me, that the attack of the Persians will force the
pra to accept the conditions proposed by Russia in
mar of the Greeks.
vlt has been long known at Constantinople that
pg troops were assembling on the frontiers, but
deem of terror which reigns there bad prevented
eircorresisondents from mentioning it in their let-
ters. This event is considered as deeply implicating
Ike &ounce of the Ottoman Empire, and everything
indicates that it is on the eve of a crisis the more ter-
rible, as, being attacked at oacc by a formidable Per-
sian army and by the Greeks, it is also menaced by
gassia; so that it was never in so critical a situation.

The Dasher steam-packet, which has been waiting'
st Calais for some days past for a favourable wind,
tectorey the Princess AUGUSTA to this country, 'was
eared eaily this morning standing towards Dover,
lathe wind blowing vei y strong from the S.S.W.
portly afterwards she wa, obliged to run to leeward
koirsegnence of the violence of the weather, and has
pa probably proceeded to Margate to land her
loyal Highness, as the sea before Ramsgate would,
most probably, prevent her disembarkation there.—
bey preparation was made here to receive her Royal
Highness, and, as the packet came within a short dis-
tort dour Roads, considerable disappointment was
innifested by her not being able to reach her in-
lashed destination.
