FOREIGN NEWS

by an arIiFal at boston, on Monday, ac-
counts were received from England to Dec.
81, inclusive. The most important news
will be found in the following extracts:
London, Dec. 10. A mail from Germany
has arrived, and brings intelligence that
the surrender by the Turks Of the important
fortress GIurgevo, as their last military sta
ton on the north bank of the Danube, had
been the signal fol the retreat of the different
corps OF Russians from the Turkish territory.
Intelligence had been received at Con-
stantinople that General Diebitsch had fixed
the 18th of November for the evacuation of
Adrianople. The Russian corps d'armee
before Choumla had already been with
drawn, and was retiring on the Danube.
An article from Constantnople, dated
10th November, announces that the Sultan.
with the sacred banner Of the Prophet, has
determined not to return to the Seraglio
until after the evacuation of Adrianople.
HALL Pacha, Ambassador Extraordinary
from the Porte to the Court of st. Peters
burg, has already embarked with a numer-
Gus suite on board the frigate which is to
convey him to Odessa. Meantime, two
events have taken place which are the
more to be deplored as they seemed to have
been brought about merely by misunder-
standing. The one is a sanguinary en-
gagement in the first half of October, be-
tween the troops under Field Marshal Count
Paskewitsch and the Turks under the com
mand OF the new Seraskier with considera-
BILE loss on both sides, the second is SIM
liar but less sangunary engagement on the
10th of October, between detachment of
the army under the command of Mustapha
Pacha of Scutari, stationed between Adrian
ople and Sophia, and the corps of General
Baron Geismar, who had orders to observe
the movements Of the Pachd. The explain
atoms which have since taken place at
Adrianople have put an end to further hos
tilities, and the good understanding between
the troops of the two Powers and their
commanders is restored General Geismar.
however, still remained posted near Sophia
at the end of October.
One of the most agreeable circumstance
es Of late is the formal revocation by the
Porte Of the measures adopted two years
ago against the Catholic Armenans. Or
ders from the Sultan have been despatched
to the several places in Asia minor, which
were assigned to those exiled from the cap
ital as their place of residence, and to an
nounce to them the permission to return to
Constantinople where they will again enjoy
the free exercise of their religion.
London, Dec. 20. Rumors were in circu-
lation at the end of the week that accounts
had arrived in town fiom Brazil, conveying
Don Pedro's assent to his brothers. mon

come to the determination of acknowledge

A letter from Terceira, Nov. 5, states
that the island was in the best possible state
of defence, and that the blockading squad |

1t is stated that accounts had been receiy- !
ed from Alexandria of great damage occa-
stoned by the overlooking Of the Nile, and !
that not less than 10000 persons had per- !
ished. Another says that the inundation |

damage was done than had been appre- |
hended
BY our letters from Paris we learn that
the Ministry of Prince Polignac continues
as unpopular as ever, and that the French !
Legislative Chambers will not meet before
February. 1t is stated that the conferences
for the dehnitive settlement of the Grecian
affairs are very far advanced, and that our
Government have never taken an active and
liberal part in their consideration. The in
tention seems to be, to establish in the Mo-
rea limited Monarchy; but who is to be
the reigning Prince has not been determin-
ed. 1t is mentioned that he will be select
ed from one of the smaller German Courts
in fact our own Prince Leopold is talked Of |
BY our last accounts from Constantinople
the greatest efforts were making by the
Sultan to levy the tax which is to supply the
first instalment of the Russian indemnity

fidence of being able to make this payment,
were preparing to reconstruct their admin
istration at Adrianople.
