The packet ship William ByrnGs arrived on
Saturday from Liverpool She sald in compan
with the Alexander Of Philade lphia, and the con
tents of our papers received by her have there
been mostly anticipated. Our London papers,
however, are to the 7th inclusve-oDe day later
than our dates by the Alexander. We make a
few extracts:
The Morning Herald of the 7th, observes that
'the frequent conferences which have lately ia
ken place between the French Ambassador and
Lord Aberdeen have induced many persons to
think that the Courts of France and England are
arranging some important measure relative to the
affairs OF the East That these conferences
are Of an important and pressing nature may be
inferred from the fact OF Prince Polgnac delay
ing a visit TO France, which we have heard he
was on the point of making several days ago. The
Austrian Ambassador has, too received frequent
dispatches from his Court within the last week or
two--a circumstance calculated TO strengthen the
opinion that something is the fdpiS respecting
the Turkish and Russian war" After mentioning
the arrangements OF Austria TO increase her army,
the Herald expressed its belief that France, En-
gland; and Austria, will make strenuous effort TO
induce Russia to conclude apeace.
Letters from Sores are quoted TO show that the
Russians have extended the principle Of their mari
time blockade, and submitted Saonichi, as well
as ths Dardanel!es, TO its operation.
SPAIN.-On the 21st October, the first division
OF The French troops passed under the walls OF
Madrid Oh their way back 70 France On tae swo
succeeding days. the second and third divisions took
the same route.
We have received news from Catalonia Of an a.
farming nature. The friends OF the old govern
ment Of the Cortes, vino are suspected of consp-
ring against the dignitarics of the province, con-
tnue each day to be led to the convict prisons and
dungeons. Eight or nine French and italians,
who were seized on suspicion Of being Freema-
sons, are designated by public rumour as being
The cause or preext for these arrests. The gaoler
Of the great prison of St. Peter has lately been
thrown into the dungeons OF Ceuta The strong
prisons Of Spain filed with unhappy wrctchCs
whose political opinions have been the cause OF
their confinement. The Count de Mirasol left
Perpignan on the 9Th Of October, for Reyculs he
has been occupied for the last three months in en-.
deavourng 10 extirpstc some bands Of robbers
which have shown themselves in the mountains
Of Catalona.-Freneb pepper.
JAssY, Oct. IS--the taking Of Varna has caused
the greatest Joy here, and confirmed the opinion
of all those who know the valour and pcrscver-
ance of the Russian armies, that nothing can
shake their frmness Varna was never before
taken, or a Turkish High Admiral made p son
err; this first instance will not fail TO have moral
influence on the Turks, which must be heghten-
cd by The generosity Of the Emperor, who, accord
ing TO letters from Odessa, gave the Captain Pa
cha bis liberty, who, with 900 men, took the way
20 Idos.
