[FROM THE RIONITEUR OF SATURDAY.]
Nothing official—The non-official part contains, under
the head of Madrid, 19th and 20th of January, the King's
Decree on the Organization of the Administration of the
Finances of the War Department, and that for the esta-
blishment of a General Police.
Pants, JAw. 30.—The obsequies of M. Langlis (ilie ce-
lebrated Orientalist) took place to-day. After the reli-
gious ceremony in the church of Notre Dame des Victoires,
the mortal remains of the deceased were deposited in the
burying-ground of Pere la Chaise, to which they were at-
tended by numerous deputations of the Institute, the Co n-
servateure of the Royal Library, and a great number of dis-
tinguished ornaments of the Sciences, Literature, and the
Arts, both trench and Foreigners.
[PROM THE JOURNAL DES DEHATS.I
PARIS, JAN. 31.—An article of an English Journal, The
Sun, under date of the 28th, announces that the speech of
the King of England will declare his formal recognition of
the independence of the Spanish Colonies; it adds, that
France and Russia will follow immediately the example of
Great Britain.
IVe know not what is the policy of the different Courts,
but we should he much astonishld if the Speech from the
Throne in England contained any thing precise and
formal. It is a Parliamentary maxim that the %Teel'
should contain only general phrases es hich leave the li-
berty of taking any part, according to events, and to the
course of discitsskin in the Chambers. We have, moreover,
a difficulty in believing that the Cabinet of St. James's
swill pronounce publicly in so serious an affair, before it
knows the intentions of Spain, olio deserves, it appears to
us, the trouble of being at least heard on this question, and
before receiving the reports of the English Commissioners
sent into the Spanish Colonies. Now these rPports
cannot reach Europe before the end of April at the
earliest.

AGENCE.

TURKEY.
The Allgenaeine Zeitung of the 25th January has Leen
received this morning, from which we select the following
article :

The following is the Hatti Scheriff of the Sultan, issued
on the appointment of the Grand Vizier, 6haleb Paella, on
the 13th of December (U.S.), 1823:
•'
To my Supreme Vizier, and unlimited. upright, and
faithful Deputy Essecho-Afehmed Said-6aleh Pacba,
greeting—
" It is known to thee that thy predecessor, Ali Pacba,
in consequence of his inattentive and careless character,
has done no business since his appointment, as it was his
duty ; and as his conduct has by no means answered my
tap' stations, his removal has become necessary.
" As thou bath long been employed in affairs of import-
ance, and are acquainted with all the affairs of my empire,
and host constantly given proofs of probity and fidelity, 1
have appointed thee my Supreme Vizier, with unlimited
powers, and entrust the contlact of affairs to thy tried ex-
perience and fidelity. Conduct thyself in every thing ac-
cording to the holy law, and endeavour to put the most
important affairs in order. May the (iod of Mercy support
thee in all things.
" As it is evident that if the affairs of the Mores are not
vet terminated, this is to be ascribed to the want of zeal in
the persons entrusted with the managem-nt of them—thou
will take care that the necessary measures be adopted in
ceneert by sea and land, that the fortresses awl to ens
which are in the hands of the rebels, may be speedily
taken from them, and this m awe may be quickly termi-
nated. Thou wilt see that the necessary money and pro-
visions fur the inhabitants of my capital begot ready b.--
limes, that they may not suffer want. Thou wilt also see
that the said inhabitants, as well as those of my whole
empire, enjoy perfect tranquillity. May the favour of the
Lord (Mahomet) make use of thee for his honour and glory,
and as an instrument to manage successfully the all of
toy empire confided to thee."
VIENNA. JAN. 21.—The .Illarian Obyerrer publishes
the folloning under date of Constantinople, Dee. 24, after
noticing the changes in the Turkish Ministry :
" The news from the theatre of war occupy and alarm
the Government. The citadel of Curin,b has e:qtainlv sur-
rendered to the Creeks. 41 feet still more aaiietie
that the Insurgents have made a seeand landing in Negro-
pont (listhoca) and got possession of liaristo. Their itek
on Mitylene has nest been less successful. The events
which have taken phtee in the western part of the theatre
of war are still more serious.

OnessA, JAN. 8.

"The Pacha of Scutari writes, that he has been obliged
to raise the siege of Missolunglii, and evacuate itnatoliko.
For two no.ntlis this has been foreseen by military men.
The plan of campaign this year has not In eu bail; h•it the
means of execution have all failed The defection, and
even revolt of the corps of eight thousand Albanians at
Intraki, was so much the more calamitous to the Turks,
as the Greek General, Mark Rozzari, took advantage of it,
with rare talents, to effect his line surprise of Kerpenissi.
'l'o complete the reverses, the Captain Pacha—it is not
known why—abandoned the station of Patras. Mustapha
Paella, however, ventured to attack the Greeks at Kali-
donia, and obtained some advantage over them. This was
the last affair of the campaign.
" The fatal issue of the siege of Missolunghi has had,
and will have, fatal consequences for the Porte. Its lirst
effect has been to raise all the Albanians in favour of the
Greeks. The latter annouLze already that they will con-
vert the blockade of ['atria into a regular siege. Coloco-
troni marches on the place with six or eight thousand
men. At Constantinople, it is said, that the fleet of the
f7aptain Pacha is to be milt back thither to at•empta diver-
sion, but it is more probable that the season will compel a
suspension of arms."
