FOREIGN NEWS.
BY the packet ship John Jay, the editors OF
the N. Y. Gazette have received their hlss OF
London papers, 10 the 7th Of December, being
two DAYS later than their last advices. Their
contents are Of an uninteresting character.
The London Courier doubts the statement OF
the Ausburg Gazette, that the Ambassadors
were TO remain till the 18th, having given to
the Porte, seven days TO accept the interview
ton. The question was no longer one Of for
bearance on the part Of the Ambassadors but
of d~efiDi'ivs resolutions the part OF the sd'-
The London Courier of the 9Th remarks
"There is no intelligence from Vienna or
ConstantlnopIe to-day, later than that which
we have communicated. If no impediments
be thrown in tho way Of sending off their de-
spatches, advices from the Allied Ambassadors
may be expected every hour. But it is not
wholly improbable, should the Sultan have de-
termined upon hostilities, that be will use the
summary means he possesses to prevent the
immediate notification of the fact; especially
il he 10 aware, as perhaps he 10. that the Am
bassadors have d discretionary power to direct
such proceedings, in the event Of a formal
rupture, as to them may seem most expedient."
The AlIgemeine Zeitung of November 29th,
contains letters from Zante Of the 2eth and
Corfu Of the 30th October. Several English
men Of war had come to the former Island to
repair, and the wounded Of all the three squad
rons were expected there. Ibrahim was not
at Navarin during the battle Of the 26tb, but
half way between Navarin and Patras, whittier
he was going by land to relieve the garrison,
which was hard pressed by the Greeks, and in
want Of ammunition and provisions.
On the news of the destruction Of his feet,
he turned back without executing his purpose.
When this became known to the Egy ptian
troops in garrison at Patras, they were seized
with such terror, that they abandoned the
place and retreated TO Cofon and Modon {;
leaving the defence Of Patras to the native
Turks, till famine shall compel them to submit.
This retreat Of The Arabs was also fastened by
an unsuccessful sally which they had made
from the Fortress, ia order to forage, but in
which they had been driven back by the
Greeks, without any booty.
The Turkish g rrison at Tripolizza is in a
still more distressed cond ton now that win
ter has commenced in the in.crjor Of the No
rea. A Greek corps has occupied the passes
Of Leondari, and thus the Turks can neither
TO escape by fight.
Letters from Trieste Of the 23d November,
state a report brought by a vessel from Alex
andria, that Mecca had been taken by the
Wachabees, after a slaughter Of four thousand
men.
The Russian feet was of Malta on the 9th
OF November.
Lord Lansdowne has caused an inquiry 20 be
instituted, to ascertain whether the reports in
circulation were true, OF he poi ce officers in
London participating IN the recovery Of stolen
goods and the compromising of fslonies.
France.--Letters ron Vienna state, that
the first news of the French elections had
caused the Austrian Bank action to decline to
l,026. The London Courier holds the follow
ing language respecting the result Of those
elections. and the probable consequent fall of
NJ. de Villele;- =
"The result ofthe e'e ctions in France, asaf-
fecthg the stability Of M. de vi;lele's Admin.
istration, is a question not wholly destitute OF
importance in relation to this eouniry. NJ. de
villele, from an enlightened consideration of
the true interests of bis country, and superior
to the influence Of political prejudices, has,
throughout the whole period ofhis Ministry, and
as for as he could control circumstances, culti-
waited a close alliance with this country. We
should be sorry to believe that his policy in This
respect. has rendered him unpopular or led to
that demonstration Of hostility which has
marked the progress Of the recent elections.
If there be any Statesman in France who would
wish to carry that country back to the system
of former times, when it was considered a mat
ter Of national honor, almost, il not Of political
necessity, for France to 60 to the left. because
England vent to the right, our earnest hope is,
that they may mover have the direction Of her
council.
The retirement Of M. de villele al the pres
ent moment. cooking to the only admioistration
that could. by possibility, succeed (for as to a
liberal Cabinet, that is wholly out Of the ques.
ton, } would. re have no hesitation in affirming,
be an event pregnant with causes for regret.
We do not anticipate, indeed, that NJ. de Viii
lels will find himself compelled 10 give way
though it is probable some Ministerial changes
will take place"
