goose Tux GAZETTE Di IRANCC, DATED ICSDAY.
BUCHAREST, Dee. 3.

Our news from Constantinople has arrived to the
25th in the afternoon. The Ambassadors of the three
mediating Powers had yesterday a c-nference with thy
Reis Effendi, whrch attracted kr neral attenti,,n, as wet
for the novelty of the thing itself {for the Re's Effe.nd,
had ordinarily conferences with isolated indisidands,
bat never with several diplomatic persons at tlie same
time), as on account of the importance of the circum.
stance. The three Ministers, for whom Count Guille-
minor, spoke, used all their efforts to chew to the Reit.
Effendi that it was the true interest of the Porte to
comply with the propositions of the Powers, or eke to
declare openly and seriously whether it would accept or
reject the pacification.
The Reis Effendi, on his part, appeared to avoid every
thing which would decide thequestion definitively, and
entered into a long dissertation upon the right of inter•
ference in the affairs of Greece, and upon the demands
of the Porte relative to the engagement at Navarin.—
Ihe discussion became animated, and was Uolnuch pro-
longed as to weary the patience of the Ambassadors,
so that one of these Gentlemen exclaimed, " TUn wish
for war, you shall have war"( Vows woks la gocrre, WNW
owes la guerre). The conference terminated without they
precise result. The French Ambassador, however,
retained the hope - that the Porte would ultimately
yield to the wishes of the Powers. The Rus.ian
and English Ambassadors, however, entertained a
different opinion. Nevertheless, the Porte, at eleven
at night
itof the 24-h, sent for the Dragomans
of the three Powers to matte proposals to them. 0, the
nature' of these ;proposals, or upon what .Wire
founded, was urslfitiown at Constantinople at t e &par•
tote ofth‘couritr. It was equally unknown if these
proposals were in Consequence of the conference of the
day, or of the' joint Note which the Ambassadors, on
their return hop the Palace of the Porte, had signed at
the house of Mr. Canning.
By this note, which is dated the 24th. at six r. u the
.Porte was again invited—first, to acknowledge a genet al
armistice in Greece; secondly, to make some mutual

concessions with the Greeks, is accordance with the
Treaty of the 6th of Al y.—A period of three days was
fixed on for the determination of these two points. If
after that time no answer was given to the Ambassadors,
or if they should receive only an evasive one, their in-
tention was to quit the capita.
M. de Ribeaupierre has made every preparation. He
has requested the Consul of the Netherlands to protect
the Russian subjects during his absence. A Circular,
has, in consequence, been sent to all the Consuls. Mr.
S. Canning has also recommended his countrymen to the;
Minister of the Netherlands, and M. Guilleminot has
recommended his to the Plenipotentiary of Spain.
A courier set out at the same time for Smyrna with
dispatches for Messrs Rigny and Heyden.—>fagabarg

BRUSSELS. Dic. U.

We learn that the voluminous legal inquiries which
are carrying on against an Englishman, who is arrested
at Brussels, and accused of numerous and extensive acts
of swindling, by means of forged letters of credit and
bills of exchange, are nearly concluded, but that posi•'l
tire information is still expected with regard to the

expiration of the time for which It had b.
suspended by order of the French Arnbassalkw at Con-
stantinople, begins with a declaration of if.. Editors,
Messrs. Placque and Vigoureux, in which they say that
they will make it their object to pustish:the troth, with.
out distinction of parties or japsioav; that they are
fully sensible of the diffictiltiits of the task which
they have undertaken, and will -proceed with the
greatest canticn in examining the events which pass
before their eyes, in order to enlighten public opinion,
and not to influence ir.

Speaking of the' first proceedings of the Greeks at
&iv, they say, 41 Letters from Scio of the 11th inform
us that the chief occupation of the Greeks since their
landing has consisted in plundering and laying waste
the country ; they respected neither the persons nor the
houses of the Consular Agents, to whom the flags of the
Powers which they represent no longer afford protec-
tion against violence. The dwelling of the French
agent, M. Fleurat, has been invaded and ransacked;
the houses of the Austrian and Fnglisb agents, have
been plundered from top to bottom, and one of the
servants of the latter killed by his side: The Neapolitan
agent, an old man, nearly 80 years of age, was treated
st►ll worse; he was so severely beaten, that fears are
entertained for his life. All the property of the Catho.
Hrs. without exception, was given up to plunder.
In the year 1822, when 90,000 Turks from the
Asiatic coast invaded the unfortunate bland of Scio,
the flags hoisted upon the houses of the Consular agents
were sufficient to &fend them against every attack.
These houses, which were respected by a crowd
thirsting for revenge, afforded a safe asylum to a
great number of Greek families. Nearly 2,000 Greeks,
under the command of an European General, have
given the example of a shameful contempt for these
11 cgs, which had saved many thousands of their coan
trynsen, and even ventured to lay violent hands upon
the agents of those very Powers which have united to
getber for their protection and the establishment of
their liberty. Two of
_the Mastic villages in the south
of the island, which ate entirely inhabited by Greeks,
have joined their countrymen.
VIENNA. Dscanuca

His Royal Highness the reigning Duke of Brunswick
arrived here yesterday evening with a small suite. He
will probably make only a short stay. As the commu-
nication with Constantinople is now restored, we may
now expect to rective authentic information relative to
the events in that city.
HAGUE, Dic. 19.

The debates on the Budget for 1828, in the Second
Chamber of the States General, are not yet concluded.
—.Brands Papers, Dec. 22.

We have received private letters from Madrid of the
9th ult. Strong reports were still curreot that a great
change was about to take place in the Spanish Adnsi-
situation. The Count of. Sr. ROMAN 3 was spoken of
as likely to succeed to the ogee of Minister of War, and
it was generally imagined that the Count d'Esr.song
-would have the Captain Generalship of Madrid. Great
dissatisfaction existed among the corps of the Guard
Royale of the Spanish capital, in consequence of the
arrears of pay due to them. It is said, to such distress
have they been reduced from not being paid, that for
the most part they have been compelled to exist on po-
tatoes. A plot bad been discovered among the military
at Seville, having for its object the overthrow of the Go-
vernment. The officers of the sth regiment, in garrison
at Seville, were deeply implicated, and proceedings had
commencedagainst them. It was stated a convention had
been concluded between Spain and Portugal, bywhich all
the Portuguese prison& in Spain were to re urn to their
country, but would remain ander surveillance until the
arrival of Dan Minuet. Those in depot at Zamora
were forthwith to set out. According to these letters,
the Government, notwithstanding the seasonable supply
from Havannah, was in a state of the greatest distress
for want of money, and it was thought contributions
would be levied throughout the provinces to supply the
exigencies of the moment.

Our Private Letters from Lisbon state, that the con-
vocation of the Chambers is fixed for the 20th Dec. in
accordance with an order transmitted by Prince Miouxi..

We have this morning received accounts from Ma ran
ham to the 16th November, by which we learn that the
Buenos Ayres privateers kept that place in a state,
almost amounting to blockade, scarcely any vessel
daring to leave the place. The Brazilian schooner
Amazons had been cut out on the 21st October, while

at anchor in Carmersion Harbour, by an armed boat
from the Buenos Ayres schooner Flor de Mayo.. The
Pro►iacio de Maranhoa, from Bahia to Moronism,
a ith slaves and rum, had also been captured on the
10th of November, off Mat anham, by a Buenos Ayres
privateer, which, after landing the crew, went in pursuit
of another vessel. We regret to find by these accounts
that the Portuguese ship Lucretia, from Angola, with
STO slaves on board, was totally wrecked on Atias
shoals on the 2d November, and the crew and thirty
slaves only saved out of the multitude of these unhappy
creatures on board.

The reported resignation of Viscount GoDIRICH from
his station at the head of his MAJIISTVB Councils has
operated variously on various minds.
It appears, for our part, that we must be cautious in
publishing oar opinions relative to the credit due to this
report, or isrdeed on any subject of political moment,
since, a week ago, a leading Morning Cotemporary se-
dulously
transcribed into his columns a few of our ob-
servations on.the chances of approaching Ettwopen war,

shass as evaiseady ssrestarted/6" stampiat

under such eiteumstances.
certain persons who are very apt to 14
pea for inevitable events, and there are a
• class who real ignorance imposes no ob.
. flow of their luminous information.
Some of these worthies, taking rumour for fact, ascl
assuming the certainty not only of Lord GODIMICH.I
tesignation,tut subsequent resumption of official daty,
for a short and temporary period, are indulging thew
selves in most sagacious guesses relative to his LAT&
ship's motives in his reputed secession from the Pre.
miership ; among these that of his fear ofencounteriet
the investigation of his conduct at the meeting of Pan
liament is most predominant, and perhaps the only one
worthy of notice.

We have always entertained for his Lordship'. 'mac
as well as private character, whether in or out of office;
the most unbounded and unaffected esteem; let it not
then be attributed to .he sordid motives of party feeling
or party animosity, but rather to lb. effect of our honor
respect for the Premier's public integrity, when we ex.
press our indignation calumnies so base,—our con.
tempt at ideas so drisellitig and puerile.
Lord GODERICH.II character is re ired end domestic:
he was indt.red to take the office he holds now meth
mote by the solicitation of his friends, and by the wishes
of England, than through his own ambition or indi-
vidual desire; nor did he even then accept it with any
assurance of permanently retaining it, but rather the
contrary. What is these particularly extraordinary in
his wishing to resign it, perhaps sooner than was ea-
petted? To say that his Lordship is restful of render.
ins an account of his political and official conduct to
the nation, is grossly to libel his private earittter:
it is maliciously to disparage his long, Lithful, and
arduous public services—it is to insult the under-
standing of the people. If the nation is in a state
of difficay and external tumult, we boldly say
that such difficulty was unavoidable, consistently
with the maintena ce of our national reputation, and
acknowledged and obvious principles of tight and
wrong. And even if (to combat our opponents nn their
own ground) England Lad acted wrotgly in the Greciaa
or Portuguese affair, is Lord GODERICH answerable lot
that conduct? is he responsible for the deed. of a
Misistry which he did mai She,, coat real? We hope not.
Why then should the Premier fear to met the scrutiny
of Parliamentary inspection, ork if they like it, of the
nation at large. We trust he will meet it; we trust and
we confidently hope he will-meet face to face with pis
foes, it he has Owe, and triumphan.ly defeat the multi.
dation* and malignity of disappointed navy.
