GERMAN PAPERS.

ST. PETERSBUR6II, NOVEMBER 03.

---
The Court Gazette of this City has inserted the fol-
lowing article, taken from a foreign journal:
4, It is affirmed, that the negotiations between
Russia and the Porte have taken an Unfavourable
turn ; but the Foreign Ambassadors at Constantinople
do their utmost to remove the new difficulties.
Divan had at first acceded to the evacuation of Mol-
davia and Wallachia, but suddenly changed its mind.
The Ottoman troops in those provinces, which were
on the point of retiring behind the Danube, not only
remain in their positions, but are to receive consider-
able reinforcements. It seems that the Turks, re-
solved on war, no longer respect anything ; and being
compelled to adopt extreme measures, treat as ene-
mies all those who are nut Mahumetans. The Eng-
lish alone have found favour with the Sultan !"

FROM PRUSSIA, NOVEMBER 20.
For some weeks past a Committee has been sitting
in the Capital, of which the Prince Royal is Presi-
dent, to discuss and deliberate on the Constitution of
the Prussian Monarchy. Among the Members are
the Ministers Prince Wittgenstein, V. Voss, Schuck-
mann, Counsellor Albrecht, Privy Counsellor Ancil-
lon, and other tried statesmen. This Committee
sits daily.
It is believed that two Chambers, that is, a Cham-
ber of Peers as well as of Deputies, will be adopted.
ODESSA, NOVEMBER 14.
There are in circulation here, copies of the Note of
Count Nesselrode icontaining the Russian ultimatum)
.to the Reis Effendi, which was presented some weeks
ago to the Divan. It may be called a master-piece
of diplomacy. The assertions of the Reis Effendi are
victoriously refuted, not by diplomatic phrases or
subtleties, but by facts of which the Porte has hued,
been guilty. The demands of Russia in Baron Sue.
gonoff's Note of the 18th July are repeated, and this
Vote adopted in general as the ally batis of an ar-
rangement. The Public is already acquainted withl
Baron Stroganoff's Note, to which Count Nesselrode
refers, and has seen from it that our Cabinet holds a
firm and dignified language, as is becoming towards
the Turks. But the conclusion of Count Nesselrode's
Note is more threatening, saying—.l His Majesty the
Emperor, if his pacific proposals were rejected, would
.be compelled, though unwillingly, to adopt other
!measures.*
NOVILMBER 20.—The affairs of Turkey in Asia
become daily more complicated. The Persians are
advancing ; Armenia is in a fermentation, and as if
to make that nation take a part, the Porte has just
had the Armenian Patriarch arrested. He will pro-
- bably end as the Greek Patriarch, and his nation then
do like the Greeks.
The Reis Effendi, who was removed and sent
into esile to Asia, was beheaded on the first day's
journey. The Wechabites are in motion. The de:-
caries are rapidly fulfilling, its last hour strikes and
• Diplomatists are strangely mistaken, if they think to
change the nature of things with notes and ia-
tions. We are persuaded that war is inevitable, to
restore order in some way or other. The Serrans
are said to be likewise in insurrection.
BARCELONA, NOVEMBER 14. •
Public Health, including the 20th, 21st, and 22di

looms, the City, and the Hospitals, in these three
days, has been 22, cured 44, deaths 23, convalescent

The Junta, to shew the real and good state of
health at this moment, has the satisfaction to annoonce
to the Public, that from the communications given
verbally by all the Faculty, who were yesterday as-
sesnbled, it results that there are in she city only 15

By an extraordinary express from Path we hive
received the Journals.-of Sunday last, the contents
of which are highly important. Oh the meeting of
the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, the new Mi-
nisters made their appearance. and M. PiTRONNET,
the Keeper of the Seals, communicated an Ordinance
of the KING, withdrawing the obnoxious Project of
Law o,..the Press. Of what nature the new Project
for regulating the Press will be, does not appear.—
These Papers, in addition to the list of Ministers
given in the STAR of yesterday, contain another
Royal Ordinance, promoting the Count de SERBS,
the late Keeper of the Seals, the Marquis LATOUR
MAUBOURO, Count SIMEON, and Baron PORTAL to
be Ministers of State and Members of the Privy
council. This we are sorry for, as we could have
wished that the new Ministry had been untainted by
any portion of the leaven of the old one. The follow-
ing extracts are from the French Papers of Sunday :

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, DECEMBER IS.
At half-past one the Sitting commenced. The
Chamber was very full, but no Minister appeared.
It was observed that the centre was very thin.
The business of ece day began by N. BAZIRE
making a Report relative to the election of M. Du-
RAND, whom the Committee had returned as duly
elected. In the midst of a debate on this subject, a
noise was heard in •ne of the lobbies, and imme-
diately the State Messengers and Ushers made their
appearance before the new Mini,ters, who were intro-
duced in a body, and with the usual ceremony.—
Messieurs de VILLELE and CORRIERE, in Ministerial
costume, entered first, and took their seats ; next
.
came the Duke of BELLUNO, in the uniform of a
Marshal of Fran:e, and Viscount de Motrrstonexcv
in the dress of a Peer; M. de PEVRONNET in that of
a Deputy, his Excellency not having yet assumed
the robes of Keeper of the Seals. The Marquis de
CLERIIONT-TONNERRE was absent. _ _

This novelty interrupted the proceedings of the
Chamber some time. The discussion then continued;
the result of which was the admission of M.Dust.st4D,
the proposition for such admission being supported
by the whole of the left side, a part-of the centre,
and a great number of the Deputies On the right: a
part of the right opposed it.
After some routine business, the Reporter of one
of the Committees moved, that a Petition should be
laid before the President of the Council of Ministers.
Upon which several voices on the right exclaimed—
• Is there still a President of the Council?" To
which several voices on the right replied—" No: there
is no longer such a functionary" (Considerable noise).
M. de FLontac made a Report on the Petition of
the widow Lesurque, whose husband was executed
in 1796, though his innocence had since been solemnly
recognized.—The Report was ordered to be printed.
The order of the day in immediate succession was
the Report of M. de VAUBLANC on the Law Project
relative to the Censorship of the Journals. The Re-
porter had been in readiness from the beginning of
the Sitting, and M. de Sr. AULAIRE and several
Members of the left seemed already disposed to in-
scribe their names in support of the presumed con-
clusions of the Committee; but in the course of the
debate, and after the arrival of the Ministers, it was
cpread about that the Report would not be made.—
This rumour had already gained credit, when the
President announced that the Keeper of the Seals
was about to speak (4 great sensation in Me Chamber,
and then a prVound silence).
M. de PsTiornizr, Keeper of the Seals, then spoke
as follows '4...m.14 Gentlemen, the King having ordered
us to prepare immediately a new Law Project as to the
regulation (la police) of the Journals, has also com-
manded as to lay before the Chamber the following
- Ordinance"—(Ass almost universal movement of ,satia-
: &dim):

" Loots, &c.—The Project of Law relative lb the continua-
tion of the law of March 31, 1820, and of July 26, 1321, is
withdrawn.
" Our Keeper of the Beals is entrusted with the meatiest of
this Ordinance.
Dated Dec.ls, 1821. (Sped) LOUIS."
The reading of this document was followed with
strong 'harks of approbation from the right side,
rued with unequivocal symptoms of impatience on
the left.

MM. DIDEARSAIty MECHIN, den.--" By whom is
this Ordinance countersigned ?"
M. de PSIZONNIT (as he was descending from
the Tribune) answered coldly—" By the Keeper of
the Satier—Orete siSwe of imiatience)•
Several voices-4, Which?"
Voices on the right." There are not two Keepers
of the Seals."
Voices from the centre." What l hare you not
read the Moxiteur r
M. de GUARDIIig This Keeper of the Seals

'weir has a name."—(liolent marks of distipproba.,
tioN from the right cad the cextte),
In the midst of this confusion, M. de Paraottszr
spawned his seat with an air of great indifference.
The PRESIDENT, after formally recognizing the
Ordinance just presented, stated that he had received
the following letter :
44 M. Panuomm—Being called to the Miniitry since our ap-
Pantment to be Members et the Capunittee on the Budget, we
think it our duty to request you to desire the Committees who
chose us to proceed to a new election.
(Signed) "De VILLELE and CORBIBRE."
M. de GRRARDIN....." These Gentlemen ought also
to give in their resignation of their functions of Vice-
Presidents of the Chamber."
The PRESIDENT then invited the first and fourth
Committees to choose Members instead of MM. Vil-
lele and Corbiere.
There being then no further business before the
Chamber, it broke up without any day being fixed
for the next meeting.
Notice of the day of meeting is to be sent to the
houses of the Deputies.
The Moniteur of Sunday contains Royal Ordi-
nances, announcing the following promotions :
" The Count de SERB', the Marquis de LATOUR
MAUBOORG, Count SIMEON, Raton PORTAL, to be
Ministers of State and Members of the Privy Council.
The Marquis de LATOURAIAUROURO to be Go-
vernot of the Invalids.
" Count Samos, Baron PORTAL, and M. ROY,
are made Peers.
" Count PoaTALIS and Baron MOONIER are called
to the ordinary duties of the Council of State, and
attached to the Committee of Legislation."

Whatever hopes or suspicions may be entertained
by different parties of the conduct of the new French
Ministry, it will readily be admitted that a change
had become indispensable by the insolence and inca-
pacity of their predecessors. One good has already
resulted from the change, and although the compo-1
sition of the new Ministry is not such as to excite very
sanguine hopes, yet we will accept their first act as
an earnest of future good.—The obnoxious Project of
Law on the Press has been withdrawn ; and M. de la
BOURDONNATZ, M. DILALOT, and other Royalism,
have declared their determination to oppose any law
which fixes a Censorship.
Such an avowal of the very party from which the
new Ministry has been selected, is likely to have
a wholesome restraint on the Ministers, did not the
welfare of France urge them to yield to that more li-
beral spirit which has been generated.
The new French Ministers are all of the Royalist
party ; perhaps they might be called Ultra- Royalists,
though they are more moderate than the Gentlemen
of that party have generally shewn themselves. M.
de Vna.m.s, who from his superior talents may be
considered as the effective Premier, having the finances
for his particular department, was the leader of the
Royalists in the Chamber of Deputies, where he dis-
tinguished himself on financial questions. He was
wholly unconnected with the French Revolution,
having passed the greatest portion of that period in
the French Colonies. M. de CORBIER; the new
Minister of the Interior, with M. de Artu.zut, for
some time formed part of the late Ministry ; they
were not entrusted with any distinct functions, but
had been taken into the Cabinet from a notion that
their junction would have conciliated the Royalist
party, of which they had been the leaders. Like all
half-measures, however, this coalition impaired in.
stead of 'strengthening the power of the late Minis-
ters ; fol. MM. VlLLeut and Coalman were coml.'
dered to be deserters from their party, which, under
a new leader, shewed itself more hostile than ever to
the Government ; and the situation of the two friends,
notwithstanding their acknowledged talents, became
insignificant and almost ridiculous, as they held no
places either of power or dignity.
M. PZYRONNILT, who succeeds M. de SEM as
Keeper of the Seals and Minister of Justice, is a
lawyer, and was lately Procureur-General, in which
capacity he conducted, last summer, the State•trial
in the Chamber of Peers.

The Doc de Ilau.tmo, the new Minister of War,
is better known to the English reader as Marshal
Vicrou : he was generally considered as one of the
lowest of BONAPA RTE'S Generals, and was one of the
first who declared for Louts XVIII. During the hun-
dred days he kept his fidelity unimpeached, which has
made him a great favourite at Conn. Last year he
was employed to repress the insurrectionary spirit
which, during the first succers of the kali* Revo-
lution, manifested itself so 'unequivocally in the'
Southern Departments of Fran Ce. He succeeded in

his mission, without any measure of extraordinary
rigour. He is considered, rather a man of honour,
than of talent.
The Marquis de Curamowx-Torrarinaz, the new
Minister of Marine, is a man of practical knowledge,
and of considerable ability : he was the Chairman of
the Committee of Peers which was appointed to exa-
mine the propriety of abolishing the droit d'auliaine;
and it was chiefly owing to his elaborate inquiry and
earnest recommendation that the odious and unjust
law was abolished. He belongs to an old and noble
family.

IYl.Lsuaisrow, the new Minister of the Household, is
a descendant of the famous Mississippi Law : he was
distinguished under %NAPA arz,both as a General and,
a diplomatist; but, ever since the first abdication of his,
old masterrhe has remained faithful Co go cause of thi

Boassoin, thobigh he has been almost invariably hos.
tile to the KING'S Minirers. He is reckoned a man of
talent, but of an impatient and violent temperament.
One anecdote is told of him that redounds to his henour. He was entrusted by BONAPARTE With several
important functions, about the time of the rturdet rf
the Duke raucuins ; and soon after that event, in
a conversation with CAULINCOUR?, who had bengaged in that disgusting act of violence, he ex.
clainted—" The First Consul knew me too well is
propose so disgraceful a task to me." lie then
pro.
ceeded to reproach CAULINCOURT in language so se
vere as to provoke a challenge, which was readily
accepted ; but BONAPARTR, in order to prevent tile
duel, sent him away from the metropolis. .

The Viscount NIONTNIORENCY, the ne v Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, was formerly a Deputy to the
States-General, and in that capacity was one of die
most violent of the Revolutionary party ; but soon
became disgusted with the projects of his brotlier Re-
formers, and withdrew to Switzerland, where he had
the honour of the-intimate friendship of Madzirne 4
STAEL. The death of his brother en the scaffold,
about this time, threw a gloom over his dlaractc-
which has never been entirely dissipated, and till
lately he has passed his days almost entirely in whs.
iron. BONAPARTE banished him in 1811, brat act*
wards recalled him, taking care, however, to i,„t,
him closely watched. lie seized the earlieq opp„,
tunity of joining the BounsoNs, and on their :t:iora.
tion became a Member of the house of Iw,, „!,ere,
for the last three years, be has distinguished hirn•eif
by a strenuous opposition to the Mini ters. In I*
he delivered a speech against the proposed Latvc
Censorship, though. he declared himself a friend
severe measures far the repression of the licebtin%
character of the French periodical press, which, hos.
'ever, he thought offended rather by its immoral and
irreligious, than by its political excesses. He sta,
one of the minority which voted that the Censorship
should continue but for one year. He has ever pra
fessed himself a steady friend to the Charter. He
belongs to one of the oldest families in France: he
is about fifty-two years of age.
Such are the Ministers reluctantly chosen by Um
XVIII. to succeed an Administration imbecile and
unworthy of the confidence of any party. The chaise
is one not likely to give much hopes to the liberal
party in France; nor do we think it will long re..l
any commanding inffuence in the Chamber of Dept-
ties. For although the Ultras and the Liberals united
'to turn out the late Ministers, yet, now that the for.
mer are in power, h is not likely that the coalitia
formed momentarily, and with but one object is
common) should continue, when that object has bees

accomplished.
The French Papers of Saturday, which we receirei
by the regular Mail, lose much of their interest fros
the previous arrival of the Munilvo of a day later by
express. Only two of these Papers, the Gazette dt
France and the Conditutionnel, contain the list cf the
new Ministry from the Moniteur of that day; Wax
one of them contains a single remark on the soiFt.
The following are extracts :
