FOREIGN NEWS. Constantinople, September 20, SINCE the arrival of two couriers from Paris, marshal Brune, the French ambassador, has had new conferences with the Reis Effendi, relative to the acknowledgement of the emperor Napoleon. Hitherto the Porte has taken no determination upon the subject. Other recent communications between the same ministers have been occasioned by letters, from the Ionian islands, which have brought an account that a part of the Russian troops in garrison at Corfu had proceeded to Albania, and were there well received by the inhabitants. The French ambassador, having received this intelligence, immediately demanded from the minister an explanation upon the subject; he assured the reis effendi, in an interview with him, that the entrance of the Russian troops into Albania, should the news be confirmed, must have the most unfavourable consequences, it would annihilate the neutrality. The Ottoman minister formally contradicted this news, and assured him that the Porte would maintain its system of neutrality, and would take no step which could affect it. According to the latest news from Egypt, hostilities continue between the Arnauts and the Mamelukes, and that country is still the prey of trouble and confusion. The Francs who inhabited Cairo have resolved to retire to Alexandria, where they propose to await the issue of this contest. In Syria, the rebel pacha, Ishmael, who is invested in Acre by the pacha of Damas and the captain pacha, has demanded a truce in order to capitulate. The Porte has consequently sent a man of ability to Acre, with full powers to act. Meanwhile tranquillity is not yet re-established at Aleppo. In the European provinces, the pacha of Romelia has fought, and almost entirely destroyed, the brigands who infested that VOL. XXXV. country. Their chief, Rokachigli, has, however, escaped, and withdrawn with the residue of his troops, amounting to about 1000 men, to the territory of Passwan Oglou. Alexandria, Oct. 11.

The French ambassador, marshal Brune, has had several conferences with the reis effendi, and represented to him the consequences which the Porte might expect to result from delaying to acknowledge the emperor of the French. It is also known that some ministers from other courts have endeavoured to induce the Porte to make this acknowledgement; but all these applications appear to be fruitless, as the grandseignor has declared to the French ambassador, that, in consequence of the existing treaty between him and the emperor of Russia, he was bound first to make a communication on this subject to the emperor Alexander. The ministers of the Porte, however, assured the ambassador, that, even though a war should take place between Russia and France, the Turkish emperor would continue to observe the strictest neutrality. According to letters from the Black Sea, a considerable number of Russian troops are assembled at Sebastopol, as a further reinforcement to the troops in Corfu. Advices have been received from Albania that a very active recruiting is carrying on there. (By an Extraordinary Courier.) Oct. 13.

A very extraordinary transaction has occurred here.-In the night between the 24th and 25th, a detachment of French troops, between two and three hundred in number, came in several large boats, and landed about two o'clock in the morning, on the Hamburg Berg (or hill), from whence they proceeded to the Grindel, the country residence of sir George Rumbold, the English chargé d'affaires for Hamburg, about an English, mile and a half from that city. Sir George, hearing a noise, looked out at the window, and seeing the house surrounded by soldiers, asked what they wanted; they told him they had some dispatches for him; but he refusing to suffer the door to be opened, they forced it open, and carried him away by force, having first obliged him to deliver up to them all his papers. Our senate was in consequence assembled from seven o'clock in the morning till five in the evening; they sent a deputation to the French ministers to protest against this violation of our territory, and demanded that the English chargé d'affaires should be set at liberty.

Tipoldo, the Turkish chargé d'affaires here, who had travelled with such expedition as to perform the journey in the short time of seven days. The dispatches of this courier, who, after receiving his passports from our chancery, immediately proceeded on his journey to Constantinople, are, it is understood, of great importance, and relate to the circumstance of the Turkish ambassador not having been accredited to the emperor Napoleon. It is feared a breach will take place between France and the Porte; at least, that the diplomatic relations be tween the two empires will suffer a temporary interruption. The late papal nuncio at St. Petersburg, Monsignor Arezzo, who has hitherto remained at Dresden, will now return to Rome. A new ordinance has been published here, directed to the privy counsellors and chamberlains, relative to the procession of the 8th of November in celebration of the assumption of the new imperial dignity.

A few minutes after the review, a fall which the emperor was said to have had from his horse was the subject of conversation all over Paris, and the most anxious inquiries were made respecting the consequences of this accident. His majesty's charger stumbled, and the circumstance, quickly heightened by apprehension (the consequence of attachment to him), was thus exaggerated in the first moments: all fears are now at an end. Very satisfactory intelligence has been received both from Martinique and Guadaloupe. Oct. 30. Yesterday a diplomatic audience was given at the palace of the Tuilleries. At this audience the emperor received letters of credence from the senator Schultz, deputed from the senate of Hamburg; M. George Growning, envoy-extraordinary from the republic of Bremen, and the senator Roddle, deputed by the senate and town of Lubeck.
