CHAMEER-oF PEER&
'ln the sitting of the 11th, the Conde da Cunha, refeh
ring to the Article of the Constitution, which orders
that a civil and a criminal. code shall be drawn up,
founded on the solid basis of justice and equity, proposed
that the sages of the nation should be invited to com-
pose and present to the Chambers, the civil and crimi-
nal code founded on the solid bias of the Constitution,
and the jurisprudence of the most enlightened natives
'of Europe, and the author or authors of those which
should be approved, should receive for the civil code an
annual pension of 1,200 milrees, and for the criminal
code 800 milrees. This proposal was adopted by
the Chamber.

In the Sittings of the 13th and 14th, there was a long
discussion, on the proposal of the Conde da Lapa, to
send an Address to his Majesty Don Pedro, thanking
him for giving the Charter to Portugal. It was unani•
mously acceded to, and a commission of six Members
appointed to present, to the Princess Regent, the Ad-
dress from the Chamber of Peers to his Majesty Don
Pedro IV.

Frankfort Papers to the 22d inst. were received this
morning, from which we take the following:
FRANKFORT, Nut. 1. - —....

The Dukes of Saxe Coburg Meiningen and Hildbarg-
hausen, h ,ve published the convention for the partition
of the territory of Sase Gotha and Altenburg ; at the
same time absolving their subjects in the districts re•
spectively ceded from their oath of allegiance. The'
Princes express their regret at parting with them, but
at the same time console themselves with the reflection,
that it is chiefly for their welfare that the Princes make
Alit painful sacrifice, and that the change of Sovereigns
is only among members of one and the same family,
united together by the bonds of friendship, and each
bearing the same affection to all the hereditary subjects
of the several states.

Paris Papers to the 28th instant, have reached us.
The Eteile of Monday contains intelligence from Con-
stantinople, which, if true, is nearly as important and
sanguinary as that supplied from the same source in the
month of June.
'This horrific intelligence is dated the 26th of October. It states
that on the 11th of that month, a fire broke out in the tower newly
built by the Sateen's orders at Eski Serai. It was, however, con.
sidved sufficient to put to death the keepers of the tower, and the
Government took no further notice. The spies of the Serasikr
learned soon after, that assemblages were taking place at the red.
dence of the Keepers of the Imperial Sheepfolds who formed part
of the Janissaries, but bad been spared in Jane, because during the
events of that period they had remained tranquil. Two thousand
five hundred disciplined troops were sent against these keepers, and
against about 5,000 individuals who had- formerly belonged to the
Janissaries, and amongst whom were many workmen and cooks of
the Seraglio. Of these 1,300 were instantly executed, and the rest
were carried over to the Asiatic coast. They confessed that a con.
',piracy had been formed by the ei.dewnit Janissaries, who were to
assemble in great numbers on the Asiatic coast and to unite with
the malcontents in the capital, whilst some intended conflagration
should divert the attention of the Governnsent. The Sateen im-
mediately sent orders to the Pacha hi Aloe, to exterminate all the
Janissaries whom be should find, and directed the Captain of the
port at Constantinople to prevent the escape by sea of any of them
from the coast of. Asia. For this purpose, well-armed war-boats
cruised all the time between the two shores. Whilst the executions
were going on the Sateen reviewed the newly disciplined corps of
the Bostandgis,which was considered an act of great courage, as that
corps had frequently given marks of dissatisfaction. Notwithstand-
ing the complete success of all these sanguinary proceedings, alarm
for the future was deep and general. The Government skewed
every disposition to do whatever might please the Russian Minister.
k had broken oir all communication, with the Persian Agent
Doan Ace, and having heard of the reverses of the Persian arms
in Georgia, it is said to have greatly'ced at the prudent step
which it had taken in accepting the Uldtplatuni. The poor
Persian Agent seemed indeed to be avoided by every one except
by Mr. Seseeroan Canniest, who bad twice received his visits with-
out returning them, and by the British Consul General, Who gave
him a breakfast, which every other diplomatic person refused to
attend. M. Minsterce would not give Mtn a passport for St.
Petersburgb, and be was thought to have no choice but to return
to Teheran. _ _ _

The Zee& genies in a very distinct manner the probability of a
war between Spain and Portugal, and as a proof that all danger of
such an event is past, adduces the Amnesty of the Passes's Ram"
and the Decree issued by FRILDIMAND respecting the Portuguese
Refsgees.

No business of importance was transacted in either
House of Parliament last night. Several Petitions relative to Elsc-
dons, the Corn Laws, Ste. were presented; and a very irregular
one by Mr. Warrinsur, upon the subject of the Arises Mining
Association, after some satisfactory explanations upon the point of
propriety and order by the Svwea, was withdrawn by the wonky
Alderman. The Resolutions respecting Private Committees pro.
posed by Mr. Larrumon, after some conversation were all passed,
except the last, which provides that the party complaining shall
deposit with the Clerk of the Fees SOW. for the payment of such
costs as may eventually be awarded against him. This Resolution
was postponed, and agreed to be referred to a Committee.---An,
observation by Mr. Hews, respecting the St. Domingo Postage,
was satisfactorily answered by Mr. HZILIAIG,' and the Reseletibis
for axing certain Rates was unanimously carried. The Corn In-
demnity Bill was brought in by Mr. HiRILIZO; read a first time,
and ordered to be read a second time this day.
