Paris, Dec. 23.-We have received news
from Constantinople of the Goth of November.
The communications which were established
between the REFS Eiicndi and the Representa-
tives OF the powers signing the treaty Of Lon
don, induced W. to hope that the Porte, feeling
the interest of Europe and its own required the
plciication o fGreece, would yield to the prop
ositions Of the Courts of France, England aud
Russia. This hope is vanished. Every thing
induces a balieye that NJ. de Ribeauperre sets
off for Odessa, while Mr.. Canning and Guile
minot will embark at Vourla. The latter are
with the feet waiting FL instructions from the
Courts.
The Pacha of Egypt received tho account

by Admiral Rigny.
. A Trieste article Of Dec. 10, mentions that
accounts from Smyrna state that tranquility
continued there, and business went on as in

The alterations respecting the Fronch
Ministry still went on. A change still only
talked of-and much said about the Jesuits.
The bank at Lisbon suspended specie pay
ments 10 December-which caused great agi-
tatiOn in the city.
The London Times says Lord Goderich, tho
British Prime Minister, had rendered his resig-
nation ; and the Porte Feuille had been offer
ed to Lord Harrowby, who had refused ; and
Lord G. had consented to serve till a successor
had been designated and had accepted. The
Times says tho Kings habits, friends and So
cial parties are made subjects ofderision or in
~vective by the Tories. The "Standard, )" a
Tory paper, declares its party loves the King
