The Alisremberg Correspondent received last night
has the
follAving account (coin Constantinople, of the
10th of November :
We here enjoy apparent tranquillity : but in remote,
quarters and suburbs ma.ters have been worse again for
some weeks. The fanatic Turks who live there have con-
sidered two great tires which we had as bad omens, and
the Prophet requires victims. They have therefore mas-
sacred some Greeks and several Armenians, and only
the armed force could check their excesses, in which
dissatisfied Janissaries favoured thew. The accounts
from Armenia are alarming. The Persians have gained
considerable advantages over the Turks, whohave, how.
ever, opposed a brave resistance to them. The force of
the Persians has been very much exaggerated : it con-
sists, according to Turkish accounts, of about 59,000
men, of whom 30,000 advance against Erzerum, and the
rest against Bagdad. The Crown Prince is with the
first. The Turks are inferior in force in those parts.
It is generally believed in Constantinople, that the Per-
sians, supported by the discontented Armenians, mai,
make great conquests without encountering any
.consi.
derahleobstacle. All the Persians here, and tnany Ar-`
menians, have been thrown into prison. The changes'
of the 3linistry and the Paehas, show sufficiently the
embarrassments of the Divan.
VIENNA, Dec. 10 —The Russian and Turkish outs,
posts on the Pruth have had some skirmishes, but which
have not led to any thing serious. The troops of the
two nations merely observe each other.
A letter from Constantinople of the 16th of November
expresses fears of a general mutiny of the Janissaries,
It seems that this turbulent soldiery is influenced by the
party which is in favour of war. The Janissaries, on
their part, vow !lathing less than to exterminate all the
infidels.
The return of the Ottoman fleet lies been marked by
executions, and not by rewards. The Sultan has had
seven of the principal officers beheaded, and some others
thrown into prison. Of the four large ships which the
Turkish Government hail, only one has returned, the
three others have been burnt by the Greeks. The
Greeks have taken Patras by storm ; thisaffair cost them
709 men, but they have made 6,000 trisoners.

from our correspondent at Havannals, of the 15th of

November : •
On the 11th inst. a Spanish line of battle ship ar
rived from Vera Crus in 20 days, with spices. SL.
brought the fine brig Apodaca of Mexico, who it
passing the ,Mery Caribe refused to salute ; she
wise told theofficers of the Governor, who went en
board for news, • that he had no news for them, and
treated them very impolitely. He disembarked do
day following, and went to Ganauaboca where he still
remains without haviqg visited Havannah.
Yesterday arrived a corvette from .he same place
with another Vice King, Novella, the successor of
Apodaca, by which we learn that the City of Vera
Cruz is at present completely independent. In the
Castello there are about 100 soldiers, and about two
Months supplies, after which it must be given up.
'Tie last accounts received at Havannah, frotu Spain,
' state that Coma Montezuma, a descendant of the Enn•
;Vero:. of Mexico, had clandestinely left Madrid for the
purpose, it is said, of proceeding to New Spain.

We regret to learn that the sickness at St. Augus-
tine continues with unabated violence. We regret it
the more because several officers of the army, now in
this city and Savannah, are said to be under orders for
that port to sit on a court martial.
Extract of a piirste letter received this morning
from New Orleans, Nov. 7:—

About 400 bales of cotton of the second crop nave
been brought to market, a large proportion of which
is already disposed of at IS to 191 cents. The brig
Aristides, from Liverpool, which was captured by
pirates, and run ashore near Cape Antonio, is reported
to have been bilged. A large part of her cargo will be
lost, which is very valuable. It is expected that the
brig Ann, of Liverpool, has in t the es ne fate. Should
this be the case, British goads will be extremely scarce
indeed, We sold some linens at upwards of 100 per
cent. advance. In consequence of the demand for Bills
on England the exchange has rose to 11 premium,
and is expected to advance to 15 per cent. cer-
tainly proves the balance of trade in favour of England
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the
United States schooner, Shark, dated Santa Cruz.
(Teneriffe,) Sept. 18, 1821
"We arrived here on the 15th inst., after a plea-
sant passage from Madeira, where we obtained a sup-
ply of provisions and water, and were received with
n►n:h hospitality ; we remained there only three days.
We cruised for a short time among the Western Islands
tor a piratical brig, mounting 16 guns, and manned
with 100 men, which has committed many deprella-
4loos and c•ipturcd every vessel she fell in with. We
ave been cruising among theCanaey Islands for slave
vessels and pirate,' but have been unsuccessful. In
the course of eight or ten days, we shall sail again
to cruise among these Islands, afterwards proceed to
the Coast of Africa, thence to the West Indies, and
return to the United States about Ist January next.—
We have been treated at this place with the utmost
hospitality and attention; our salute was returned by
an equal number of guns, which is unusual, one gun
less having heretofore been fired on such occasions.—
The town of Santa Cruz is neat and well regulated,
the streets clean and the houses judiciously constructed.
The Shark proves to be an excellent vessel, has a
fine crew, and the utmost harmony prevails among
the officers.—(Norfolk Beacon.)

The intelligence brought by the Paris papers to the
23d instant, so far as it relates to the affairs of
France, is not of that importance which had been
expected :—Two Royal Ordinances have been issued,
by one of %% hich the Sieur de Lavean, a counsellor in
the Royal Court of Paris, is nominated Prefect of Po-
lice, in place of Count Angles: and by the other, the
Sieur Kesner, formerly Cashier of the Caisse dc Ser-
vice, is nominated Cashier General of the Treasury,
in the place of the Sieur Piseatory. On Thursday
there was a sitting of the Chamber of Deputies-
The following Ministers were present :—M. Pey.
ronnet, Keeper of the Seals ; Di. Corbiere, Blighter
of the Interior ; M. de Clermont Tonnerre, Minis-
ter of Marine ; and M. de Villele, tbe Mi-
nister of Finance. The latter Minister presented a
projet of a law fur the provisional collection of three-
twelfths of the revenue, and for opening a provisional
credit of 200 millions, to be distributed among the dif-
ferent branches of the Administration, according to the
exigencies of the public service, and pursuant to the
principle laid down in the Finance Law of 1821. M.
de Villele briefly adverted to the great inconvenience
of these provisional aids, which tended to compromise
the interests of those who were assessed, and to fetter
the Climber itself in the exercise of one of its most
valuable rights, namely, that of apportioning the
smut of taxation to the outgoings of the Govern.
nient. His Majesty, however, was determined not to
have again recourse to such a measure, and 11i. de
lele trusted, that before the three months were expired
for which the grant was now asked, he should be able
in concert with the Chamber, to relieve the financial ar-

rangemenM of the country from such an embarrassing'
process.
French Funds, M. 65c.
The news which the French papers communicate from
St. Peterburg and other quarters is of considerable
interest. The Court Oa:ctte of the Russian capi-
