FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.  CONSTANTINOPLE, Our. 10.—Ali Pacha and his contests with the (Porte are still the chief subjects of conversation; and the attention of the public is the more excited because the last dispatches from the Turkish Generals excited an expectation that the struggle would be soon terminated ; but it now seems as if Ali would hold out to the last extremity, to save his life and liberty. We have positive intelligence, that having retired with SOt) men into the Castle of Janina (as has been already announced), he has destroyed a great part of the city by the effects of his numerous heavy artillery, and blowing up mines, and has done the besieging army considerable injury. Baba Peldivan Pacha (Commander in Chief of the Turkish troops) and Pascho Bey Ishmail Paella (Ali's successor in the Pachalik of Janina) have found it necessary to solicit a reinforcement of meji.and artillery. The Pacha of SalonichiliasalreAo' joined them, and heavy battering cannon anfl ammunition of all kinds are embarking; with all speed at Tophanan (the cannon foundery). The Pacha of Egnibos (Negroport) has received orders to place all his artillery at the disposal of the *Turkish besieging army'. These measures are adopted in consequence of an autograph letter addressed by the Sultan to •the Grand Vizier, conceived' in very serious and urgent terms. The whole family and relations of Ali Paella have in a most humble memorial in the Creek language, implored the clemency of his Sublimity, and declared they would submit unconditionally to the will olthe Sultan, as before -expressed, and would take up their abode at their father's native town, Tepedecendi. This request has been provisionally granted. Ali Pacha, in order to render escape impossible, has had the gates of the Castle Walled up. Four Beys have, however, ventured to let themselves down by the walls of the fortress; one of them lost his life in this hazardous attempt, but the other three arrived in Pehlivan Paella's camp. According to their account the situation of theii late• master becomes every •day more desperate, and the moment May not be distant when he will close his extraordinary career under 'the daggers of his most decided adherents and partizans. Several _Armenians, implicated-in the attempt to murder.their Patriarch,,have lately been executed at Constantinople : among them was a rich banker, ,and an old man above 80, and several priests ; all the others are sent into exile. The accounts respecting the public health of the capitalare extremely satisfactory ; traces. of infection, however, still manifest. themselves in several parts of Albania and Dalmatia. VIENNA, .Nov. I.—A great deal is said of the proposals made by Prince Metternich at the opening of Me Congress at Troppau ; and if 'what is reported of them be true, they are well worthy the attention of all Europe. The Austrian Minister, It is said, has laid down as a principle the-invariable stability of the existing political systems and order of things, founded on the faith of Treaties in the several .European States, in such a manner that no single Government maT ,arrogate to itself the right to make a change in them without the consent of the others; especially When such change effected by one Government would evideutly be to the prejudice of another Government. If such a case happens, there would beonly two means dictated by policy to the A llied Powers—to maintain the existing order of thing-s in Europe,or to re-establish it in case of need: The first would be, by conclusive but energetic measures, either by negociation-or force of arms, to induce the Government which had made this change, in opposition to the interests of the others, to give upthe new system, and return to the old one. If this means, which seems the_ most simple, should not be adopted, or should prove unsuccessful, there would remain only the second means to avert the evils with which Europe would be menaced by the propagation of the revolutionary spirit, which would be to employ measures like those long since used against the plague, and to establish a kind of quarantine against the countries in which that dangerous spirit of revolution unhappily prevails.
