of November, gives us the following details:
The Communal.Cellege of Perpignan has just been
entirely placed in the hands. of the Jesuits. The Abbe
,Galley, superior General of the Congregation, and
Jesuit is partite s, as he has often called himself in the
pulpit, has been appointed Director, and other Priests,
his'eolleagues, have been promoted to other offices in
this College. The first act of authority of our -new
Director has been to remove, break, and throw into the
riser, all the casts which served as models in the draw:
ing school, and the original of v, h;eh have come down
to us through all the revolutions with which the Goths,
Vifigoths, and Vandals of the middle ages, desolated
the centre of Europe:, the finest engravings, 'Which con-
stituted the ornament of this school, have been torn and
thrown into the fire.

An Express arrived this morning from Paris, with
the Gazette de Freeze, dated Tuesday, and the other
Paris Papers of Monday. These Papers confirm all that
has previously appeared •within these few days past
respecting the affairs at Constantinople; and although
the actual departure of the Allied Ambassadors is not
mentioned, yet on the 10th they, as well as the sub-
jects of their nations, were making every preparation
for their embarkation.
It appears that on the Gth November, while the Divan
was deliberating on the steps to be taken in consequence
of the affair at Navatin, intelligence had reached the
Porte, that FAIVIER, supported by Lord COCHRAN;
bad made a landing on the bland of Sao, and com-
pelled the Pacha and the Turks to re ire into the fort.
This news had considerably increased the irritation
already felt, and in consequt nee the Reis Effendi de-
clared on the 9th to the DI A 6001,1136 of the three
Allied Powers—.
" That all intercourse between the Porte and the Re-
presentatives of the three Courts was suspended till the
moment, when it should be known whether they, the
Courts, desisted from all interference in the affairs of
Greece; whether his Sublimity should receive an in-
demnity for the losses and damage caused by the de-,
strnction of his fleet, and whether he should receive sa-
tisfaction for the insult which had been offered him?'
To this declaration the Ambassadors, on the follow-
ing day. viz. the 10th, sent an answer, which is
believed to contain the demand of their passports.—
On the same day, however, that the above decla-
ration was made, the Austrian Internuncio received
a communication from the Rats EYYENDI, in which the
Porte, protesting in its desire to remain at peace with
the Allied Powers, notwithstanding the affair at Na
win, requested the mediation of Austria ; but these
conditions proposed by the Porte for this reconciliation
were of such a nature, that they would not be accepted.
We are happy to find, that on the 6th 'ult. all way
tranquil at Smyrna; that the French Admiral with,
part of his squadron. with the ships of the other
nations, had, with the consent of the PACHA of that
city, taken up a position which would enable him
to Emmett the Eutopean merchants and the Franks, in
the gem of any excesses being committed by the Turks.
finery precaution was likewise taken at Constanti-
•ople fur the preservation of order and tranquillity by
the Xutkish Authorities.

Tie preparations of war were going on with the great.
est activity at Constantinople. Troops and ammunition
Wises sent to the Distresses on the Motile, and the
baperial Palace at Adrianople was ordered to he pte-
patird to receive the SULT•W, who will occupy it when
be himself at the bead of the army.

demand of their passports.
" It was affirmed, that *is the very day when t.
Turkish declaration was made to the Dragomans of the
Allied Courts, the Reis Effendi caused a Note to be
delivered to the Austrian Internuncio, in which the
Porte, protesting its desire to remain at peace with the
Allied Powers, notwithstanding the affair of Navarin,
requested the mediation of Austria.
" It was sai,cl that the conditions fixed by the Porte
for this reconciliation with the Powers appeared of such
a nature, that they would not be accepted.
" According to letters from Smyrna of the 6th, Ad-
miral de Rigny was there with part of his squadron,
and had taken, with the ships of war of all the other
nations, and with the consent of the Pacha, a position
which en.bled him to protect the European merchants
and the Franks, in case the Mu.sularan population.
be disposed to acts of violence towards them. How-
ever, all was tranquil, and the Pacha maintained per;
fect order.
" It was the same at Constantinople, where the Tasiiiit
authorities are observed to take every precaution to pro.;
vent airy interruption of order and tranquility.
time the Ambassadors, and the subjects of their nstfoili,'
were making every preparation fur their embarkationj
and departure.

" At Constantinople, the greatest activity prevailed
in the grsenals to prepare for war. Orders have been
sent to all the provinces to call upon the,Jdussulmen to
defend their laws and their teligiog.
" The Imperial Palace aitmaple was preparing
to receitstkaherlikaimestinitio will go there when he pets.
himself at the head of the army.
" Troops and ammunition have been sent to &Haile
to put the fottresses on the Danube in a state of de.
fence; the Principalities are given up as not capable of
being defended.
" The Gazette de France, dated Tuesday, contains
the above article from the Moniteur ; it has also a long
article on the elections, in de.lence of M. de Villele, who,
it says, will re-enter the Chamber of Deputies, and
there, surrounded by numerous friends, be will preserve
by the ascendancy of his t deat and his unvarying
