156 FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, Nov. 6.—During aevzral days the Aue trio', Observer, has kept science as to the atnirs of the Levant, and on the negotiations which may take place on this subject. The pacific and majestic sentiments conveyed in the speech from throne, is the mos encouraging symptom of the repose which France enjoys. The religious caution which the crown seems to have observed not to supply the passions (af whatever nature they may be) with a pretext for attacking a air; le word of the Royal Address, attests at once how little certain characters have to hope from the ensuing session, and how little France ought to dread their success. The high wisdom which watches over the State has given us a new constitutional lesson, in abandoning the despotaries of ltuyal au thority, and the two other legislative powers, to the chance of argument and talent, and by impartiality detaching the throne from Parliamentary struggles. Let us gratefully inknowlege this Royal and pater nal 14esight, which only allows us to recognize the King by the benefits lie confers. The hopes, there titre, which we have lung since expressed that 11w issue of the events in the East might be such us humanity and policy ought to wish, are confirmed. Further prosperity in our domestic administration is promised. It is the King who announces that passions are subsiding, and does it nut tenet still more to appease theta, that the happy certitude should be given to France by the King, the august author of the Charter, who proclaims himself the " protector of all our liberties?" Prince Gregory Yypsilanti arrived at Frankfort on the 31st ult. on his way to Paris. The following is the extract of a letter written by Dr. Parise: to his wits, dated Barcelona, October :16, in the evening:— " I rise fro — m my couch with all the symptoms of the yellow fever. Protuse sweats la the conic to my assistance,and I entertain hopes of a htvourabie issue. illy, too, is conflated to his bed, under evident symptoms of the disease. Our commission is reduced to M. Francois alone, who preserves his *activity.— If we can extricate ourselves from the difficulties and dangers with which we are environed, we pur pose abridging our stay in this place, as our profes sional services will hereafter be of no avail. We flutter ourselves that we understand the nature of the disease; for my part 1 have had sufficient ex perience for that, and the dreadful example which the disease has funiished in the case of our colleague Mazet will never be obliterated from my meminy. We know what judgment to form of it, in all its different bearings." The number of deaths in Barcelona from the 19th to the 23d exclusively was GST, and the total num ber of deaths in the town from the commencement of the pestilence is estimated at 16,000; and the accounts from Tortosa arc most appalling. Up to the 26th of Sept. 7,000 persons had died, and about 70 per day since become victims to the relentless scourge. Dr. Mazet died on the 23d, after lingering in the greatest agonies during the space of ten days. Two ladies belonging to the sisterhood of Sainte Camaille are arrived in Barcelana : a private letter also announces the arrival of Dr. Andouard. Among the victims at Tortosa are several mem bers of the board of health, nearly all the curates. the bishop, his secretary, 13 cannons, 10 sisters of the order of St. Francis:, who went to visit the sick, and all the medical practitioners in the town, ex- cept one. Important news has been received from the lonian Isles: it is in substance as ti)llows:— The Ottoman truth s, which the fleet of Carman Ali has landed on the southern coasts of the Morea have not been able to keep together. They have been thrown into some forts which still hold out, and which have been victualled by the Turks. So much liar the performances of the flonous Ottoman expedition to the south of the Morea. In the with of the peninsula the blockade of the fort of Pumas has been raised, and Mahon►et Pasha has marched from Livadia at the head of a large body of troops, to enter by the Isthmus of Corinth, into the southern part of the Peleponessits, but has been repulsed without being able to force a passage. The Greeks of Livadia have concentrated themselves in their turn, and menace %hornet in the rear. unless they can effect a speedy retreat. Although it has been reported that the Prince Ypsilanti had retired from the Mimeo, it nevertheless appears, from various reports, that he was at the head of the corps of Ileturists, by which the isthmus of Corinth has been defended with so much success. It is the Prince Cantacuzene who commands in the Morea. The Archbishop Germano has been very bucccau I, and continues to enjoy great influence. The ships of war which form the squadron of the Captain. Paella have finally effected the junction of their fleet with that of Clara-Ali-Ismael, commander of a division of th►s Turkish fleet which has not yet been seriously engaged with the Greeks. But pri- THE NATIONAL REGISTER vate letters mention the arrival of a Greek squadron at the mouth of the Adriatic Gull, and according to all appearances there will soon he a naval combat in those parts, because the two fleets are but a little distance from each other. AUGSBURG, OCT. 3 I.—Extract of a private letter dated Vienna, Oct. 22.—" The journey of Prince de Metternich to Hanover has been the subject of universal conversation in this capital during the last days. We are very tar from being desirous to pene trate the secrets of policy; but we may be justified in communicating what is said in our circles. It may be relied upon, that this government continues in the same relations of good intelligence with Russia, and that all its efforts tend to the main tenance of peace in the rest of Europe. This ob ject can only be obtained, in as far as the Otto man Porte will consent, unreservedly, to the just demands of the cabinet of St Petcrsburgh. It is true that the Divan have acceded to must of these demands, but much difficulty exists relatively to the guarantee required by the Emperor Alexander in favour of the Greeks. " The English Ambassador at Conctantioople had, it is atlimusl, in the first place, proposed some modification in the demands made by Russia ; but this Power would not consent to them. Austria, on the contrary is of opinion as well as Prussia, that the Porte ought to give the guarantees to the extent demanded by Russia. It was in this state of things that it was sledded that Prince Metternich should proceed to, Hanover, to influence the King of England to make common cause with Austria. JI his Highness succeed in this important negotiation, England will be obliged to relax much in the policy she has hitherto held to, in regard to the Turks." FRONTIERS OP ITALY, OCT. 19.—The following details concerning Ali Paella of Janina have been received by way of Venice. At the commencement of the spring, when the affairs of Greece began to wear a favourable appearance, Ali commenced a train of negociations widi the Turkish commanders in Epirus ; in the first instance he addressed himself to Pasch° Bey, and it is probable that by the advice of the latter the ex-Grand Vizier Churchid was induced to listen to the propositions of Ali, which it is said, principally consisted of a demand to he reins'ated as Pacha of Albania, and to retain the right of keeping up troops of infantry within the boundary of his government. It appears, however, that the conditions (whatever their nature) were not too burdensome fbr the Turkish nation to Pubmit to, since Churchid thought it his dun• to transmit them to Constantinople ; at the same time recommending the Divan to accept them. But on the reception of these despatches, the Grand Seignur fell into a vio lent passion with hint who had dared to treat with a rebel. Churchid received official orders from Con stantinople, to resume hostilities, which had been suspended during the negociations. But while this species of armistice existed, the cunning Ali lost no time; he sent emissaries to procure provisions and ammunition, and to obtain the support of several Albanese chiefs. When the intelligence arrived in Albania that the propositions of Ali were rejected, the Turks encountered a greater number of enemies there than previously. Ali had even contrived to (mediate the Souliotes, who attacked the Ottomans at all points. Churchid found himself in a most embarrassed situation, and he could no longer hold out unless he received reinforcements from the Porte These reintinvementshe received in time front Bosnia, and the north of Macedonia, in consequence of the rigid commands given to the Paellas of these pro vinces. The war is now carried on by Churchid, Pacha Bey, and Ismael Pula on one side, and Ali Paella, aided by the chiefs of the Soullutes and some corps of Hellenians on the other. MADRID, OCT. 25.—0 n the arrival of the Royal Family at the Escurial, the suite of his Majesty could not obtain lodgings; the municipality having refused, conformably to the constitution, to grant any lodging billets, the Political Chief was obliged to intertere to procure them accommodation. Eight partisans of Zaldivar were shot at Seville on the 13th inst. HERMONSTADT, OCT. 10.--News from Bucharest of the 6th of this month announce that on the sth there arrived 8 000 Hetarists in that city ; and the latest intelligence is, that the Porte is seriously preparing itself on all points for war. The Turkish troops increase in the two principalities, and their commanders speak openly of war against Russia.-- wenty-two young nuns, of the IVorosen nunnery, have been taken to the Turkish commanders at Jassy, and thence transported to the other side of the Danube. The daughter of a Boyard has been sent back to her parents fur 5,000 piasters. The number of priests and monks massacred within a a month amounts to near 400. Nut one of them had taken the least part in the insurrection. PETERSBURGII, U.T. 6.—The privilege of the Russian Company of America has been renewed for 20 years. The company obtain by the new charter more advantagvou4 stipulations, and its stock is in consequence on the rise. HE It SI bTADT. (Transylvania), OCT. 17. We have now the sad certainty that Capt. Jordaki pe. rished at the taking of the Convent of Seeka. Fore. aceing the cruel fitte that awaited him it' he fell alive into the loutds of the Turks, he caused a quantity of powder, straw, and other combustibles, to be de. posited in his cell ; when further resistance was im possible, and on the approach of the Turks, he ap plied a torch, and blew himself and all around him to atoms. Such was the end of this heroic man, who was worthy of a better fate. Issue of an an cient family of Boyards, a husband and father of six children, he is generally regretted. PerEnsaunan, OcT. 13.—Our Ga:elle contains the fidlowing article:—" The Greeks arc the first carriers of the Mediterranean. In order to with. draw a son from the capitation tax, the father chooses to intrust him with the master of a vessel, in ordes to learn the art of navigating the Mediterranean, The Greeks know better than any other nation how to encounter the storms in the small gulfs of that sea; and, whilst the Swedish and Danish navigators become every day more rare, that of the Greeks augment in proportion. It is the Greek flag which is seen most at Marseilles, Barcelona, and Ragusa. The Greeks make one and even two voyages a year more than the shipping of other na tions, who sail from the ports of the Levant to those of Christian countries. This depends not only upon good seamanship, but also on account of ancient usage, by which they are not obliged to so long a quarantine. The Greeks fear the plague less than others, because they in consequence remain a less time in the infected ports. The pay of the Greek mariner is small, and his provisions costs still less; the number of drunkards being very small, they have no need of provisions of liquor for long voyages; and building timber is as cheap to them as provisions. " In spite of all the restrictions established at Malta, and in the lonian isles, to the prejudice of their flags, the Greeks arc almost cxclu-tvcly the carriers to the ports of Turkey, Barbary, and the Black Sea. It is by commerce and navigation that the Greek nation has in 30 years made such a pro gress in civilization ; and it is in the ports of the Christian states that it has learned to apprcjate liberty. Selettat, OCT. 15.—Couriers from Constantinople, who left that city the 9th inst., have brut:gilt to Belgrade the Grand Seignior's Firman for the i4ene ral arming of the Musselmen, from tt) to 6.1 years of age. It was afterwards sent into all the provmeks of European and Asiatic Turkey ; su that the whole of the Turkish nation will be in arms cri this occa sion. By the order of the Grand Seignior, the ren dezvous fur the Asiatic troops is to be at Constanti nople ; that of the European Turks of Macedonia at Salonica ; those of the Bosnia will assemble at Trawnich ; those of Bulgaria at Adrianople ; thoe of the I)anub.2 at Silistria; and lastly, those of tf;ervia at Belgrade. A Turkish foot soldier receives t./o piastres ofgold-a month, and a horseman 10. FRA NKTORT, NOV. L—Speculators affirm that peace will be maintained between Russia and the Porte, at least during this winter ; and they have succeeded in raising the metallics to 74 5-16. They even calculate on a further advance. Rome, OCT. 20.-M. Casedli, the commandant of Naples during the revolution, has been arrested here, at the instance of the Kin , ' of Naples. He has been concealed for some months past in a house on the Via Terentina. He was conveyed to the Castle of St. Angelo, from whence he will be con ducted to Naples under the escort of an Inspector of the Neapolitan police. Papers of importance, it is said, were found at his residence. Aoosavau,Oct.2s.—(E.had/ of a prisaie lett( r. —" The Turks continue to be reinforced in Mace donia. The Porte, it appears, has resolved to mike an attempt to recover Cassandra and the neighbouring mountains, where the insurgents have assembled in considerable force. Their chiefs are exerting them selves, both in Thessaly and Macedonia, in order to make a vigorous resistance. " If it is true that the Porte is at this moment putting in march the greatest part of the troops as sembled on the Danube to fight the Greeks, we must conclude that the latter are abandoned to their own resources for the defence of their independence." ODTSSA, OCT. 6.--We have received letters from Constantinople of the 28th of September. The Governor has published an ordinance, ordering the Greek and Greek Armenians to discharge from their houses all domestics or clerks who arc of a fo reign creed, or who are of Frank (European) origin. This measure, which has the object of isolating all the Greek families, has created in them the most lively tear; they pretend that it is the prelude to a project for exterminating that unfbrtunate peoples.-- The Greeks attribute it (but without foundation) to the born to them by the English, who are desirous of becoming sole masters of the commerce of the Levant. They fear that the first news of the march of a Russian army on the Ottoman territory, or of any advantage gained by the insurgents, will be the signal of azcneral massacre. __ --, ::!tAhai 1imm.........mi11im el• .-..
