Ihe Sun of the evening of the 4lh, a n nounces the receipt of the Paris Etoile ol the preceding day. The only political in . telligence relates to (he grief and alarm prevailing at Constantinople, occasioned by the late disasters of the Turks, in theii contest with the Greeks, and the recent , earthquakes that have desolated Syria. , Frankfort papers to the 28th of November, i Brussels to the Ist of December, had . also reached London. The most interestin'* . P*rt of their contents relate to the affairs <d . ’he Greeks, whose successes have spread ■ universal joy among the inhabitants of Scr . via, B tig nia and Thessaly, professing the Greek re. ghm, and occasioned considerable . alarm in the Turkish Authorities of those provinces. It would seem, also, that these * apprehensions are shared in an equal degree ; by the Ottoman Authorities in Crete, for , notwithstanding the Oriental Spectator (the . Turkish Journal published at Smyrna,) b ias's of the strength of the Turks, in that j I'dand and the general submission of the Greek inhabitants, and labors to show that . ‘ha tareateaed expedition of the Greeks against Crete, need not occasion the least uneasiness, yet it is evident that the Otto man Au her.ties there, are under great alarm on that account. * Ihe 0 iservcr of the Jth sta'es, that three Cabinet Councils had been convened within i the precedi .g week. These meetings, says i the Chroni.de, were, we understand, on the i subject of the war between the Greeks and - the 1 in ks, as to policy to be observed ; re * spccting which there is, we learn, a serious * difference of opinion amongst Ministers. ■ Mr. Stratton!

Ihe last of these journals maintains that the measure, as originally pm posed, will he carried into effect ; vvh'le the former assert the contrary, on the strength |nf letters from Madrid of Nov. 28. These jletters state, that the evacuation which had commenced, was suddenly suspended on the arrival ol a courier with a new treaty, ac- | cording to which France consents that 10,000 men, together with (he garrisons of Santonin and Sarragossa, shall remain. Six of the wretches who were concerned in the murder of (he royal priso lers taken on ( board ol a vessel at Corunna, on the 20th Ju- , ly, 1823, and after they got out to sea, were | stubbed and thrown overboard, have been executed at that city. Three committed , suicide before the day of execution, but their b lilies were suspended from the gallows with the others. London, December 8.

I The additional particulars which have 1 come to hand of the flood at St. Peters j n burg are terrible, and surpass all c-mcep-l tion. The dead bodies of seven thousand - persons have been taken out of the houses, 1 and eight thousand are still missing. Mad tlie inundation taken place at 11 o’clock at night, the desolation would have been much ’ greater. The city presented a most frightful spec 5, tacle ; all the provisions are destroyed, and a great scarcity is anticipated during the winter. Five leagues around the ci'y were ’ inundated.

The [ Police having discovered his retreat, sent ' their agents after him and ordered him im- j r mediately to depart. He would certainly 1 have died, had this order been put in execu tion, but he fortunately owed some money, > and his creditor who never intended to ex-!] act payment, came to his assistance and put ( him in prison, where he at least finds safety - 1 and repose. NATIONAL BOUNDARY. j By a communication from die Depart- ■ ' meat of Slate, u appears that the actual sit- , uatioii ol Mexico with regard to Spain has , tended to delay the surveying of the boun dary Line between the United States and | Mexico, according to the 4iii article of the Treaty wilh Spain; that on the change of a the Mexican government to a republican, form, It signified its willingnes, to co-ope- a rate in the survey; and that the postpone- £ inent of the mission to Mexico lias procras-!), tiMated the proposal of definitive arrange- f u meats on the subject. i —a#*— Indian Treaty.—An express has gone on ] to give notice to the Chiefs of the Creek' t Nation of Indians to meet for the of holding a treaty, on the 7th of Februa y,l c at the Lmian Spring—The meeting is to be j, confined to tlie Imlians living on tlie lands 0 within the bourn ary of Georgia.—'Tlie olh- v er», however, will be invited to attend.

J Mr. Tazewell, of Virginia, is said to have < made a speech remarkable for its argument and eloquence, upon the Bill before the Sen ate tor the suppression of Piracy. He was opposed by Ins colleague. Gov. Barbour, and al hough ,v;r. Walsh of the National Gaz ette, takes occasion to decry Mr. T’s effort he succeeded not only against the Chairman ol the Committee of Foreign Relations, but against the weight of the Presidential recom mendation. P.i justify his own course, Mr. Barbour has obtained an order to print tif-' , teen hundred copies of the message and doc uments relating to Piracy. The Debate oc curred upon the third section of the Bill al (owing the blockade of the ports and cities of a friendly nation and which Mr. Taze well moved to strike out. There is a proposition before the House of Representatives to cut a Canal across the Isthmus of Florida. A Bill has passed the senate to authorize the President to cause i Road to be marked out between the Fron tiers of Missouri and the Internal Provinces o -lexico. ihe Bill for the continuation of the Cumberland Road has passed the House Jt Representatives, and also a Bill author ing a subscription to the Delaware and Lhesapeake Canal Company. Thus it would seem that internal improvements are „ he order of the day, and we much wonder tliut a Resolution, offered by Mr. Livin - s . ton, to send over to Great Britain a special Loin mission, to be instructed in the build ing of Rail-ways, and the M'Adam method 1* constructing Roads, did not find favour in the sight of the House. Perhaps it will be found in a few years that we are legisla- Jiig too much, at least for the finances of the country.
