FROM TRE GAZETTE DIE PRANCE. APRIL 5.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Milieu 3-7(sv :mist)
The Comtn,ssion which set out tile 29. h of February,
from this capital for the M )rea, consisting of the Fir,t
Vicar of the Patriarchate, the two Bi,hops of Chal.
cedon and Derkis, and a civil officer of the Porte, is to
invite the insurgents to submit, and to offer them peace,
a complete amnesty, and several consider ale" advan-
tages, and at the same time, a suspension of hostilities,
by sea and land, for three months. The orders relative
to the execution of this latter point were dispatched be-
fore hand to Ibrahim and to Redschid Pattie, by special
messengers.
This step has produced the most favourible effect in
the capital. People connected it with several other
measures lately taken, and, particularly the recent rati-
fication of the Treaties of Commerce- concluded with
Spain, Denmark, and Naples; and hence they inter,
that the Porte can never have intended to withdraw it-
self
from the obligations stipulated by the Convention
of A ketmann.

'The delivery of firmans to vessels bound.to the Black
Sea—though in truth the delay which they may have
expo ienced bas been the less prejudicial tothem, as the
season rendered their departure impossible—is also con-
sidered as a proof that the passage has. only been sue-
pended by temporary circumstances, and not defini-
tively closed. AU these considerations give many
chances to the hopes of peace.—.9ustrian Observer.
Mann 3.-The Divan, warned, perhaps, by the
general discontent, and conceiving new hopes from
the change of Ministry in England, returns at length,
as after the battle of Navarin; to concessions,. and-the
change of measures which were spoken of on the 22d
of February begins to produce its eff:ets.
The Greek Patriarch, with whom thee wit! ptobibly
a private understanding, to escape this" eusbarraaaiag
intervention, received a Hatti Scheriff of -the Suttan,
which offered to the Greek insurgents pardon, oblivion
of the past, moderation in the taxes; in short, all the
advantages offered by the Reis Effendi in the eOttlekeece
of the 23d of November ; and, besides, a delay or dime,
months,-during which hostilities should be siispendett
At the-same, time, it is rumoured that Orders havet.eivn
sent to Ibrahim Pacha to observe this kind of armistice.
Today four Commissioners are .gone to Smyrna with
this Haiti Sebald'. This concession has tranquillised
all minds, and gives great reason to hope for peace,: if
the views of the Allies ate still unataimous.,..rifugiblirg

FROM THI NONITeUR, APRIL 4.

PARIS, Aram 3.
The meeting which took pl.sce on Sends), last, at. thl
Champs Elysees, the mode of its organization, the na-
ture of the deliberations in which it was engaged, the
publicity which has been given to these deliberations—
all this has called up piiiful recollections, has awakened.
serious alarms in the minds of prudent men sad ftiends
of order, and necessarily excited the solicitude of the
Government. The elections are incontestably the most
important of the operations in which the citizens are
called to concur. The choice of Deputies has for them
an interest so urgent and so legitimate, that it Ss just.
and necessary to leave them great latitude in the means
of forming their judgment on their choice. These
means are in their power. The journals, the pamphlets,
the professions of faith, the circulars, are disseminated
with perfect liberty.. This is not all. 'Meetings, more
or less numerous, are frequently held, at which the
electors endeavour to agree together..
The Government knows the existence of these meet-
ings, and does not throw any obstacle in their way,
because, formed in private houses and exercising no in-
fluence without, they do not offer any serious incon-
venience.
This is not the case with the assembly of the. electors
of the first Arrondissement of Paris, formed on Sunday
last in one of the coffee-houses in the Champs Elysees.
This meeting was convoked—it was held in a public
plaie, without having obtained permission to do so;
without having even given notice to the authority whose
business it is to preserve order; it constituted sod eV
poised itself ; it proceeded like a deliberatiye assembly;
it has published its regulations, without . any thing to
make known the authority from which they emanated;
it has its Presidents, its Secretaries, its entire Bureau,
without its being known from ,whom these functionaries
hold their powers; it allowed a solemn discusiions in
which, under the form of an eillMinitiOU of titles to the,

ch.sracler of candidates, the speakers passed in review
tlie.most serious facts, the most important acts of the
putifc autfidaty-4pOroved or blamed the conduct of
•tile ehambets-..-tliat.bf the Electoral Colleges—that of
all France. It adjourned to a fixed day to metre the
.coufto of its labours, and on the following day the Jour-
.nals published the proces mid of this strange sitting.
It must be said, because-it is the truth, public order
was not distutibed; that is to say, the influence of these
aninaited•debates did not-produce any effect beyond
the bounds.bf the meeting,- and under this respect the
Administration was not obliged tointerfere. However,
it cannot be dissembled that such Assemblies, placed
,entirely beyond the action of the.. Public authority, have
in thetn something irregular and dangerous, which can-
he tolerated; •

The law of sth February, 1817, which regulates the
holding of the Electoral Assemblies, absolutely inter-
dicts all discussion. all deliberation. How should it be
'possible, that what the law prohibits in a regular and
legal Assembly, presided over 'by a functionary ap-
pointed for that purpose by the Royal authority, could"
be permitted in a'meeting of the same citizens, when it
is neither foreseen nor authorised—when no man in-
.vested with a legal character is appointed to maintain
order in it„ and to check dangerous deviatiobs? -
How should it be possible to conceive that the faculty
was left to one or to several persons to assemble, at
their pleasure, in a public place, an immense number
of citizens, to submit. to their improvident and pas-
sionate deliberations, the most weighty subjects of ie!
ternal and external policy?
Iris remarked, that the meeting which gives occasion
to these observations, was composed only of electors,
and that it treated only of the questions relative to the
titles of candidates. _
But were not these questions themselves naturally
connected with all questions of legislation and policy?
to praise or blame a candidate for his conduct on
occasion of •such and such a Project of Law or Act of
Governmestu, .is not this necessarily subjecting these
Projects or these Acts to the approbation or the censure
dif44e.nseetiOg ? And without going beyond what passed
at the lite meeting, did not the speakers express them-
selVis with Warmth in some acts of superior idnrinistra•
tion, or measures' adopted by the Chambers, in the con-
duct of:ElectoralCalleges? Have they possessed prin-
siPies, extrtirged :opinions, contesied lights, established
4nties? -.- . .. •. .

iiiAttqmr OCCURRRNCRS AT TABRERZ, FROM OCT. 24,
To NOV 5, 1827.
NOV.

Wrm423DAy. Ocr. 2.1.—1 n the morning letters ar-
riled from. Suufiao, addressed to Aga Reza and other
Reads of the divisions (kud khudas) at Tabreez. They
Were written by the sons cf Nozzur Alli Khan, late
Chief of Maraud, to inform the people of this city of
the intended early advance of the Russian force, which
some days ago had arrived in that district. It was
riecopmeptiell that no opposition or resistance should
wide;bey • for if. the inhabitants remained quiet, vio-
lence Voild not b% offered to their lives or property.
These letters being intercepted, were brought to the As.
cuff ed Dowlah Alli yar Khan, who immediately sum-
moned the persons to whom they were addressed, and
accused them of WOO% the enemy to the city : the kud
khudas, in the strongest terms, repelled this charge;
but the contents 'of the letters having become public,
the effect they were probably intended to produce was
perfectly fulfilled. Later in the morning, a Shah's ghol-
laum reached the city from Soufian. He reported that
a strong advanced guard had arrived at that village just
as be was quitting it. The alarm from this moment
rapidly spread to every corner of Tabreet. The inha-
bitants of the suburb were seen hurrying to find refuge
within the walls ; while the citizens, in smaller numbers,
were endeayouring to escape into the country. Fear
aid extreme alarm were depicted on the countenances
'of all. The present report of-the approach of the Rus•
sian army did not pass unheeded by the Arrauk
°and Mazaanderoun troops, who, to the number of
five thousand or sic thousand men, had been left by
the Shah for the defence of the city. They were observed
quietly to lead their cattle, and; irr sthall parties,
to move out the town. This movement soon became
very general amongst them. Before mid-day the whole
body had nearly quitted, on the road to Tehran ; some
few of the chiefs and kis cowardly men alone remained

when apprised of their flight, could only-send snipe: f

Tabreez people to pursue and plunder them. His br.ders
were no sooner issued, than a portion of the artbial
citizens attacked and stripped the southerns who. 4111
remained at their posts. About one o'clock thereiwire
very few of the five thousand ; four hundred were 4140 d
brought back; they were secured •within the With ';:if
the citadal (Ark), to prevent a second flight ;
closing the gate which opens to the town, it was, for-
gotten that there was another behind the old building,
from whence the confined made their escape. The
Arrauk troops were chiefly encamped between the-outer
and inner walls: many tents and other baggage were tat
on the ground. At this period, twObattalsons, even also
companies, of •Russians mould have taken p.ossessiod,of
thecity. The two battalions of Shaggangrees,encamped
at a short distance beyond the walls,• were then or-
dered to near the town, and take charge of the gateways.
Alli par Khan went but to persuade them to act with
firmness and fidelity : he was listened to for a short time ;
but abusive terms were shortly bestowed upon hits, and
some stones were thrown. Throughout the day, the
most Contradictory reports prevailed; so much so, that
it was confidently asserted that Abbas Mirza wotild
'before the evening arrive with the army from.'Khoegs

of cavalry towards Boufiaa to reconnoitre. ;Towards
sunset there was a greater appearance of- traitquirlity

had reached the bridge of the Augec, within four Miles
of the city, and the kud khudas were posaively ordered
out to meet him. The Pi ince's wives 3 e§terday remove

Early in the morning their main body was seen advaficing-
On-their arrival at the bridge of the Augee, the arany
halted, as if to prepare for action. The Shaggangree
battalions wire stationed on the walls on that sideofthe
city; the artillery placed a few days ago on the bastions
and towers were loaded ; the g,..tes were alsewersi-ed.
Alli yar Khen appeared ou horseback between theioner
and outer- walk; he endeavoured to encousage.the
troops to show some resistance, and ordered the guns to
he fired. Three alone were discharged—two with blink
Cartridges, the other shotted. .The enemy were ,eqm•
pletely out of range, nor were the guns directed tow4rds

further begged that a guard might be sent to the
