On the other hand the regiments of Asturias, Estee-
madera. Gerona, Villa Viciosa, and the cm pa of Royal
Regineer Aetillery;„ at Saragossa, have renewed to the
Centel' the most earnest assurance of their love of or-
der and adherence to the Constitution.
'1 he COVNRIPS Diqry confirm% the account of Mica haw-
ing been rrinstated in the military command of Gallia'
in opposition to the orders of Government; bnta private
letter from that province, published in the Refleetorfk-
fiend. informs is that the example of Coronae has
found no imitators in the other districts. The Civil
Governor had taken upon hiMself the duties of Mili-
tary Commander, and removed to Leitro, the inhabit-
ants of the province twilit!' unwilling to acknowledge
the Authorities established in Corunna until their ap-
pointment had been sanctioned by Gown mem.
The Itedoicter also bringsa letter from Ceuta, stating
that the Bishop and three Canons hail been sent os
hoard a ship in that-bay on the night of the 7th inst.,
being su-pected of a rapt of ' partiality to the Consti-
tutional sy‘lent. And a Cordova article in the Erpec-
iador, dated the'2.l instant, relates that General Mo-
reno, Military Commandant of Attifistusla, M. Alhesta,
the Civil Governor, Baron d'Audilla, and Captain
Pentium°. had enteted that I sty the very day before ;
that tioneral got himself acknowledged by the regi-
ment of Santiago, but could not prevail on that of RI
Infanta Don Antonio to do tite sense; that in the even-
ing several individuals comp:aineddo the Board of
Health of the violation of the health regulations by
those personages, all of o horn had communication
with Baron d'Andilla, who was coining from an in-
fected districted, ant-required that they might he con-

that at midnight they seers marched out, escorted by

IERIV.,111; CORRESPONDENCE?.
Pants. :so 5, nos O'CLOCK, T. m.—There are
strong reports in o irrahttion to-day, that the Porte has
accepted the Russian ofriaterforin. I enclose a extract
of a letter from Frarokfitst, which, in Wide* to what
is routained in the jeer's,* of this morning, Will pat
yew lerrosuession of thg Nly gronnde•of the report.---
The adroit manner in which the peels whitilbritalle
made to tally with the acceptance of the' oftimslene
would seem to point it ont as a steeirjohbint isfveation.
But the ace eptance of any wltiostterns will Wow signify
nothing, and can hare no influence on the decision of
the question whether the Emperor Alexander will 'Nit
Constantinople before the expiration of a year.
The French banisters are continuing to recruit
their ranks. M. de Chateattbriand has accepted the si-
tuation ufilmhassador to London, vacant by the
resignation of M. de Cates. He bad better make
haste to his destination, atd avoid the discussion of
the law on the perindicsl press, which, according to
his previous declarations, be must oppose. The com-
mission, you will see, has bean appointed to exanline
the project. There can be no doubt of the nature of
its report when its composition is considered. Duly
two members out of the nine are known to be opposed
to Ministers on the question. M. Dorrieux le the only '
representative of the left side which it possesses, and
M. de la B surdounaye of the extreme right.
In the Altpuiteur you will find an account of a con-
spiracy in the garrison of Belfort. Though touch
talked of, it has produced no unfavourable effect on the
funds, the quotation of which at the close of the Mar-
ket stood as follows :
Five per Cents.. B.if. 20c. ; Bank Stock, 1520 f.,
being a considerable rise above yesterday.
The petition 'of Mr. Lovedar to the Chamber of De-
puties is now sold here in the shape of a pamphlet,
and is the eubject of con ion is all companies.—
The journals have of course been prohibited from men-
tioning it. The Prince of the church to whom he
alludes is the Archbishop of Paris. Sober-minded
people of all parties regret the foolish aril of the
missionaries, as it tends to injure the causeW religion
and to throw obstacles in the way of a moss liberal
treatment of tin:Catholics of Ireland.

The papers of Vienna of the 25th of December do sot
yet speak of the acceptance of the Russian ultimeatnat ;
hut this silence has nothing in it astonishing. dace
the news arrived at Vienna only on the night between
the 25th and 26th. By the Estsfette whish locipsibt
it here, we have likewise teamed that Prime Metter-
nich had received from Constantinople a letter which
announced that the Persians load made peace with the
Porte.
The A ersti lax Observer of the 26th is silent about
these events.

Sin—lt appears that the new Zealanders hove great
horror of the crime of adultery, which they ,consider
the most heinuos that can be committed. They also
wake a most cations distinction as to the guilt of the
parties, and their mode of ascertaining this guilt is
extracted for the purpose of giving a biat to persons
interested is suits of this descriptioe.
" If the criminal connection is discovered its the
hot belonging to the female, the man is iastmetly pro-
nounced the seducer, and thereupon coosigood to

In consequence of the reports of the Turks basing
accepted the Russian Ultimatum, the Funds opened
this morning at 781; anon after, however. they got
down to 781 sellers. A rumour now prevails on
'Change. that private letters barn been received ea-
aellatikag fresh disturbances -in Madrid, is cause-
swayful' which the Spanish Funds have Mien d per
cent.; but op to the present boor we have oat been able
1 to trace the grounds of the rumour.

Paris parrs of Saturday have arrived. and brought
intelligence of different kinds of considerable interest.
Their tone, which, in concert with the other foreign
journals, had, fur 1 days before, herr dcildedly
warlike, is now entirely changed ; as wiMogiroar trout

the following articles .
FRANKFORT, Dec. 31.-... An estefette, 11014.1m1 here
from Vienna, announces, that a courier, *Witched on
the 13th of December from Constantinople, had
brought intelligence there, that the Porte had at last
accepted the Russian mliimateina, Ishii sonic slight ino-1
dificatione, the decision of whieli was left by the Ours-
man Government to the judznient of Austria.
Porto, besides, demands that Austria, Franey, England,
and Russia, shall he guarantees of the treaty. Since
this news has become known, the folds have con-
tinued to rise.
ANOTHER LETTER, SAME Da-re.—Letters from
Vienna, writteu by persons worthy of credit, and
dated the 24th, contaio the following passage:—
" Though the metallic. experienced some depression
to-day, well-informed persons pretend that there is
nut the least probability of war." The latter part of
this news is confirmed by an estafette arrived to-day
from Vienna. The estafette left that city on the 25th
at midnight, and brought a letter, of which the fol-
lowing are the contents
" VISSNA, Du. 25, MIDNIGHT.—A courier arrived

al.. This news spread with inerenilait rapidity; and,
notwithstanding the solemn (cativo! of this day, the
public funds have had a'cOnsiderable rise. In the even
lug, it was added, the Grand Seignor accepted the old-
madam on the 19th of Dec. More precise details will
probably be received to-toorsow. The above news as
produced a great sensation in thecommercial world hire,
and public foods have risen considerably. There are,
however, many persons, among whom are some men
of consequence, who put no faith in the intelligence.
A few days more, and we shall know whither the state-
ment is true or not.—(Monitear, frosi.the Frankfort

Jourasi.)
On the subject of these articles the Courier Francais
makes the following remarks :--" Souse speculators have,
to-day circulated the.repart, that a banking house had
received from 'Vienna. by an accelerated conveyance,.
the assurance that the Porte had finally accepted the
Russian uleimaitiiii; but this report may have no other
foundation than an Exchange trick. The latest let-
ters from Odessa, a town in the Russian empire, 'cos-
cur in stating precisely the cos y."
By the acknowledgement of the French official!
Journal, however, France herself appears not to be
disposed to tranquillity. To what extent the dispesi-
tion extends, can only he the subject of conjecture;,
bat the following statement slices, from the mode in
which it has betrayed itself and the character of the
persons involved in it, that the symptoms are ex.l
trinsely serious:—
" Pants. JAN. 2.—Criminal plots !lave bee
bitched in the garrison of firlfort. The coospieney
to take effect on the 04 Jan. and the tinwesoolusr
cockade was to be mounted. The King's Lieutenant
having received inforusatian of the design. drew out,
ender arms, the battalion of the 29th regiment of
the line. which forms the garrison of the place. and
proceeded immediately to the barracks to arrest an ad-
jutant sub-officer, who was pointed 'out as one of the
principal agents of this cri ini nal intrigue. Bruce, Pese-
ta, Desbordes, and Delacorube, who figured in the conspi-
racy of the 19th of August, 1820, were also arrested
'at the moment when they commenced their dight from
the town. The guarding of these four prisoners was
provisionally intrusted to the officer who commanded
the neighbouring post ; . but soon after this officer
himself lied along with Lis prisoners. Three other
officers have also disappeared. One of the indi-
viduals arrested was the bearer of five packets
of cartouclies. On arriving at one of the squares of
the town. the King's Lieutenant fell in with a numerous
group, which dispersed on his approach, bet from the
midst of which a pistol-shot was fired. which struck him
on the breast. The cross of st. Louis with which this
officer was decorated misted the effect of the ball, and it
is hoped that the wound will not be mortal. The soldiers
have manifestos& the greatest indignation. Order was
completely restored long before the departure of the
courier. The Oseeral commandiag the departmee. the
Attorney-Oseeral. and the Deride of tieudarnteiie, re-
paired without lees of time to Belfort".—(4llonireer.)
