FRANKFORT PAPERS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, NOVEMBER 25. •
The Porte has been obliged to pay some attention
to the complaints brought against Veli Pacha. He
has lost the Government of Livadia, and obtained in
its stead that of Lepanto. Soliman Pacha, of Le-
panto, goes in the same quality to Livadia ; and
Selim Seri Pacha, to Salonichi. The troubles
.in
Diurbekir are appeased ; the Pacha has returned to
the city, and the instigators of the revolt will be
punished with the utmost rigour.
Less favourable•acconnts have been received from
Aleppo, where Hormid Ahmed Pacha; formerly
Grand Vizier and subduer of Servia, with difficulty
escaped the swords lifted against him. The oppres-
sions of all kinds laid to his charge, have excited the
greatest indignation amongst Janissaries and Scherifs,
who are for the most part -Emirs. They renounced
all obedience to him, and the furicus populace pro-
ceeded with cries of rage to the Palace of the Go-
vernor, where they put every person they found to
the sword. The Pacha himself escaped, and placed
himself at the head of the troops, who remained
faithful to him, with whose aid he is resolved to be-
siege the city, and subdue the insurgents.
The fate of the Armenians, who had been con-
cerned in the destruction of the Mint, is not, yet de-
cided ; but the plague has penetrated into their pri-
son ; one of them is dead, and the others are infected.
The Grand Seignior N still at his Summer Palace
of Beshicktash. fhe continuance of mild weather,
and still more the plague, which has penetrated even
into the Seraglio, are the causes of his nrt returning
to his Winter Palace. This dreadful malady con-
tinues to spread. Almost every one of the Ministers
of the Pone has some persons sick of the plague
. among hid people, and the cases of plague will soon
be as numerous as in 1812. Among the Franks they
are even more numerous than they were at that time.

it OLIN, JANUAttit 1.
The official, Gazette publi,hes to-day, an Ord++
addressed by the King to the Minister of the Interior
and of War, which makes several modifications in
the organization of the Landwehr. The number of
battalions attached to each regiment of the line is
reduced from four to three. After giving the Order
at length, the Gazette adds the following reflections:
" The contents of this Cabinet Order will suffice to
shew the 'worth of the sinister reports, circulated
partly by the public papers and partly in the circles
of the capital and in the provinces, as if the Land-
wehr were on the point of experiencing, if net a total
dissolution, at least an entire change, tending to the
same end, and which, it was even pretended, had
been concerted with Austria. The truly Fatriotie
institution of the Landwehr is a creation of the
King's own free will. His Majesty has experienced
from it the biavery, the devotedness, the fidelity of
his people, in a Moment of the most Imminent
danger. If it had been necessary to strengthen the
bond of union between the Throne, and the People,
the Landwehr would have done it. The /.;rovinces
have had repeated proofs of the King's satisfaction
with the zeal evcrq where displayed in the establish-
ment of this institution, partly from his Majesty's
own mouth, partly in writing. Calumny alone ca'i
form or spread the idea, that his Majesty intended
such a change in the Landwehr as would draw 'idler
it an entire alteration in the whole of our present mi..
litany system. Tile only changes to he made,_iis we
see, will be in the external organization, the object
of which is partly economy, and partly the simpli-
fication of the mechanism for he more speedy em-
ployment of the men; in.case• of a sudden drawing
together of the troops.* The essence of the institution
is so far from being .affected, that those changes in
the organiiation will, contribute to accelerate its
perfection.". •

RILIEF TO THE POOR

The LORD MAYOR, immediately after the Meets
ing at Mr, HICKS.S \Warehouse, held:yesterday, dish
patched a letter to Lord SIDMOUTII, statintihat he
had been given to understand, that at `former pe=
riod of great inclemency of weather, Goernment
had supplied the Poor with covering from .a
city of old stores ;. that a Meeting had taken place in
the City, for the-purpose 6f relieving the ex Wing
distresses of the Poor, and that if the Committee
appointed to manage the subscriptions collected with
that Nievi, were assisted by the same povrerfut , and
I benevolent hand which was extended upon the 9ccit•
sion alluded to, a most iMpOrtant service would be
rendered to those unfortunate persons, who seemed
destitute of every thing in life. To this application
Lord SIDKOUTII replied, that be was not aware that
there were any old stores in the hands of Govern.
ment ; but that if it was found, upon inquiry, that
there were, they should certainly be applied to the
commendable purposes for which 'the Meeting had
assembled, and to which' they had contri§nted.
In the early part of yesterday, the Secretary to the
.Seamen's Committee, so well known for its -extritor•
dinary exertions since the establishment of peace,
waited upon the LORD MAYOR, and informed him,
that he was instructed by the Committee to aSSOTE
his Lordship, that their exertions should not be want-
ing at
.this time of pressing exigency. Of late the
Committee had to attend merely to the applications
of the sick, those who were able to work baying, tin•
til within a very short time, been supplied with
ships. The Secretary observed, that In consequence
of the severity of the season, numbers of seamen
were out of employment, the frost having effectually
prevented the vessels from working out of dock, and
the Committee had come to a determination, until
those difficulties were removed, to co-operate with
the efforts lust commenced for the benefit of those
who were without the means of suraining life.
It was observed, on the part of the LORD MAYOR,
that this co-operation would tend to increase the
public confidence in the exertions of the City for the
relief of the necessitous. The great activity and
zeal of the benevolent at the East end of the town,
would no doubt lead to a generals competition, in
the most Fashionable and elevated Ranki of Society in
the opposite direction ; and the general apprehension
entertained, with respect to the boundless extent of
pauperism, would soon disappear.
It was stated by Mr. WONTNER, the City Marshal,
that four-fifths of those who were now in the Asylum
for the Houseless, were seamen, and that many of
them were under orders, but the severity of the sea-
son, which had checked other employments, left
them also without the means.. or opportunity of sup.
potting themselves.
It was at once admitted, by the Secretary to the
Seamen's Society, that this was the case, and the
LORD MAYOR was assured by him, that very few
instances of deception or laziness had been discovered
lately, amongst the applicants. Indeed for the last
six months it had been found unnecessary to make
complaints to the Magistrates 4 with respect to those
who claimed upon-the Committee. The Committee
considered the Warehouse for the protection of the
wanderers, as particularly favour-Able to the-labori-
ous class of his Majeity's subjeco; with which their
labours were connected, the ship in the River, for
the accommodation of" p( or sailors, being now com-
pletely Ali', and nothing having presented itself un-
til Mr. Himcs's premises were oilered.
It was with no small degieF2 of pleasure that the
Loan MAYOR received the intelligence that this Com.
ntittee intended to co-operate with that of which he
was appointed President. The valuable addition
'would, in his Lord.iiip's opinion, in conjunation with
those other benevolent Societies which were always
heard of in times of disci.ess, be acknowledged by
1 the lately-formed Institution, with every mark of
i approbation.

We are happy to find that the Subscription for
affording Temporary Relief to the Destitute, and
Nightly Shelter to the Houseless, during the present
inclement ceason, goes on most prosperously. Already,
no less a sum than £1,500 has been subscribed ! and
this will appear the more remarkable, when it is
observed, that the chief movers in the good work
have set the vet:), proper example of subscribing
moderate sums—a course which leaves room for a
more wide diffusion of the charity. The Report
from the Institution, last night at ten o'clock, stated,
that " upwards of one hundred persons were then
housed, who had been fed, and all of whom expressed
the utmost gratitude for the assistance afforded."

The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this fore-
noon, but are quite barren of intelligence. The
Mmeiteur states, that it was believed that the Cham-
ber of Deputies would have a meeting on Saturday
(to-day), to receive the presentation of a Project of
Law. Although M. DE CAZE has been indisposed,
we are informed that he has not been a single day
without transacting business, that he is now much
better, and is no longer confined to bed.

Two Dutch Mails arrived at a late hour this fore-
noon, with Papers to the 12th inst. We have only
time for the following extracts:

VIENNA, DECEMBER 30.

trade of Italy itself.
