acting.

Paris papers to the 23rd inst. have arrived this

morning.

The Austrian Observer of the I Ith inst. has pub.

lished a long statement of the operations of the Aus
trian fleet in the Levant from the 17th to the 22nd of
August. The same paper announces that the intelli.
gence from all the coasts as far as Zante during the
period of the Austrian squadron remaining there, as
stated by the Observer, has been confirmed as fu
as regards the situation of affairs in the Archipelago,
the Morea and in Epirus ; and also with respect to the
burning of the fortress of Ali Pacha ; the negociatioss
of Ali with the beseigers ; the failure of the attack on
Parga, &c. &c. Mention is also made of the maritime
armaments of the Greeks of Spezzia. Hydra, and
Ispara. These since the month of April, have armed
180 brigs, like Corsairs with guns, of which nine
pounders are the heaviest metal. In July, 18 of these
Corsairs harassed a Turkish Corvette, but ultimately
retired towards the Archipelago. About the same pe-
siod the marine of Galaxis assumed a warlike attitude,
and co-operated with the revolutionists. The Turkish
fleet is ascertained to have left the Dardanelles on the Ist
ofJuly. It consisted of 19 vessels of war, having
on board about ten thousand men. After this
fleet set sail, a violent north wind cast a great part of
it on the coast of Samos. The troops took refuge is
the island.—The remainder of the fleet continued at
sea. The transport ships were, for the most part, set
fire to by the Turks themselves, and not by the Greek%
The fleet proceeded towards the island of Rhodes to
await a junction with the squadron of the Paths of
Egypt. Such is the account of matters as given by
the 'lranian Observer; we place but little reliance ea
the correctness of what it states,

By accounts from Lisbon, dated Oct. 4, it appears

that an article of The Constitution has recently been
approved of, depriving the King of the power of pre.
venting elections, of proroguing or dissolving the
Cortes, or even protesting against their decrees. An
additional clause states, that in the event of the King's
acting in a manner contrary to the article, he shall be
considered as having abdicated the Throne, and the
persons advising him thereto shall be punished as
traitors.

Letters from Madrid, dated 11th of October.—The
Universal says, that in the electoral assemblies every
thing proceeds in tolerable order. The detention of
Riego still excites the greatest dissatisfaction. It is
reported that some of the inhabitants of Madrid had
attacked the members of the Patriotic society of that
city, and that the authorities had for the present
suspended its meetings in order to restore was-
quillity. Some tumultuous scenes are said to have
been renewed in many Cities of old Castile.—
The journals of Grenada announce that the speech
of the King, at the opening of the Extraordinary
Cortes, produced a very salutary impression. In the
Sittings of the Bth, 9th, and 10th. the Cortes continued
their discussions on the territorial division. The Cow
mission of war has made its report on the message of
government, relative to the army of from Bto 10,000
men of the provincial militia. The Commission has
recommended the measure, but at the same timeadvists
the recruiting of the army without loss of time.
The fever at Barcelona still continues its ranges.
The numbers who have become its victims are various-
ly stated, from 10 to 15,000.
