We have drawn attention on several occasions of late to the difficulties under which the cotton trade is labouring. Those difficulties are still in creasing. Thu transactions at Manchester during the past month have been on the smallest scale known for many years. The paralysis of business is of course due in great measure to the scarcity and exorbitant price of the raw material. Although the cotton market has occasionally shown a ten dency to flag during the past month, as is natural considering its present speculative tension, and although a decline of about id. per pound has taken place in the prices of some descriptions, as compared with those current a month ago, " mid " dling New Orleans" is still quoted as high as 121 d. per pound. At the corresponding period of 1861 it was only 71d., and the highest point attained in September, 1857, during the speculative mania which preceded the com mercial pain.; was not above 91d. It is easy to gather from this comparison that a complete revo lution has taken place in the trade. But the high price of cotton is only one of the difficulties with which spinners and manufacturers have to con tend. Did the prices of yarns and goods move in accordance with the prices of the raw material, their business would be exempt from many of the harassing complications by which it is now sur rounded. But the rise in cotton has been unac companied by any proportionate advance in the prices of the manufactured or partially manufac tured article; nay, cotton has occasionally risen, while goods and yarns have declined. The con sumer of Manchester commodities has evidently still a great advantage over the predator. This state of things is aggravated by tie unremunerative position of the important Indian markets, whence nearly every mail brings de clining prices. " The quotations returned from " that quarter," observe Mesers. Termite and Roves, " would be barely remunerative with " middling Orleans' at 6d.," or less than half its present price. It would be difficult to find • more speaking proof of the losing nature of the Indian trade, arising from the excess of shipments, and from the consequently over-stocked condition of those markets. The effect is to be traced to some extent in the statistics of our exports. The total value of the shipments of cotton piece goods to all parts in February, as shown in the returns just published, was as follows : Felipary, lA6O 10161 1864 The falling off in cotton yarn was more canide rabic, the figures being es nuder : February, 1660 027,695 1661 left The decrease in the quantity is of course greater than in the value, prices being much higher now than they were at the previous periods. Thus, the total number of yards of piece goods exported to all parts in February was only 133,307,553, against 217,286,360 in February, 1860; and the total number of pounds weight of yarn exported in February was only 6,739,090, against 16,781,211 in February, 1860. These figures show that the export business in cotton goods is at last feeling the effect of the depression which pervades this branch of trade. The reluctance, however, with which shippers appear to slacken their operations is • peculiar feature, and occasions some anxiety. It is even most strongly marked in the case of shipments to India. For the month of February the exports of cotton piece goods to India are valued as under: Fsbillowy, 1 186 0 £898,718 „ 861 458,941 „ 1862 . 305,838 Bet when we look at the exports to India for the 6rat two months of the present year, the re sults are rather striking : Two mouths of MO £1,329,444 1861 99 1862 If it be true that the " quotations returned " from that quarter would be barely remunerative " with 'middling Orleans' at 6d.," or less than half its present price, what, in the name of com mon sense, do our merchants moan by sending to India in the two months of the present year goods to the value of 393,4611. more than those which they sent in the same period of last year, and even 27,660/. more than in 1860, when the present difficulties were not dreamt of, and when trade pursued its course undisturbed I What uncontessed influence is there in secret but powerful operation, which urge; merchant to go on consigning goods in =eh try quantitts to utterly unremuneratire dirket ? Surely, undue nometary 'acidities cripotie at the beton of this apparent departure hem all ordinary prbrdples of business 1 The matter is the more worthy of attention because the coat at which goods are now being sent to India is extra , ordinarily high, and the contingency of an early termination of the American war, and of a great fall in the prices both of cotton and cotton fabrics, is not to be entirely discarded from prudent mer cantile calculations. The fact that some kinds of yarns and goods cannot be produced at the present price of cotton, combined with the discouraging nature of the amounts from India, renders it certain that em ployment in the manufacturing districts will be still further curtailed. There is a vast risk in accumulating stocks of goods at their present met, and (observe Messrs. Do Fsv and Co., of Man chester) " however anxious manufacturers may be " to give work to hands, it is out of their power " to do so at increasing lorres." . . Uncertainty is at the root of the present dis location of the cotton trade. It may seem a startling assertion, but the condition of this great branch of industry is probably worse than it would be were the certainty acquired that the whole American cotton crop is destroyed, and that we shall never have another bale from that quarter. After the first shock, commerce and production would adjust themselves with wonderful alacrity to the altered circumstances, and producers, manufacturers, and merchants would alike know what they were about. Their transactions would then be conducted under legitimate commercial conditions, instead of being entirely dependent upon speculative contingencies. Messrs. Da FAY and Co. declare that " as long as the American " war lasts no permanent improvement can be ex pectedii _ _ _ There are really only two fade of a consolatori character in the present state of the cotton trade. The first is, that there is every prospect of a large and rapid increase in the supply of cotton from India ; and the second is, that our spinners and manufacturers have at last, under the pressure of absolute necessity, got over their unwillingness to ese cotton produced in our own possessions. "It " would appear,"oteerve Messrs. Gsoacz FRAME; Sow, and Co., "that the consumption of East " India descriptions has now so far extended as to " comprise more than one-half of the whole quantity " used, and according to present appearances it " will extend relatively higher still during the next " few months." It is complained that " much of " the yarns spun from Surat mixtures is of a very " poor and unsatisfactory quality," but this is a point in which improvement will occur. Upon India we shall soon be able to rely implicitly for any quantity of cotton we may want, and in the improvement in its quality, as well as in its extended use in our factories, there will be some compensation for the severe trials under which the operative population of Lancashire and Cheshire are now suffering. It is a trial which, from their complete dependence upon American cotton, has hung over them all their lives, but which, we trust, with India deve loped, as it soon will be, they will never be re quired to undergo again. Let India have a little more time, and a cotton famine will never again be possible. The new projects which have been anticipated as sure to come out at a time when money is ex cessively abundant, and when, from the dulness of trade, the community have leisure to take part in other forms of enterprise, are already being brought forward pretty freely. Follow ing closely upon the brilliantly successful Turkish Loan, an Egyptian Loan to the amount of 2,195,2001. (stock) has been launched, and the subscriptions on the first day have amounted to nearly twice as much as is wanted. Premiums are becoming as plentiful as blackberries. An " Alliance Bank of London and Liverpool " is organized, and scuds like a meteor across the financial firmament, arresting the attention of all beholders, for, before it has done • single stroke of business, its shares go t'p to 51., 61., and even 81. premium. Au " Imperial Bank " follows, gets its capital immediately subscribed, and is put at 21. per share premium. In Man chester, a " Northern Counties Union Bank " is projected, under, it is stated, good auspices, and is instantly rated by the market at 31. and 4!. pre mium. Latest of all in the way of banks is one for British Columbia and Vancouver's Island : it has the advantage of first class London names, and will doubtless likewise take its position in the list of premium-bearing concerns. But these are only • few of the forms assumed by joint-stock enterprise. It is proposed to give tramways and more rail ways to India, drainage to Rio de Janeiro, elec tric telegraphs to the Cape, gas to Singapore, and new wharves and warehouses to the Thames, to establish a system of overland communication between Canada and British Columbia, and to make both bread and boats by machinery. The new projects which are " out " are few in number compared with those which are forming. There is no sign, however, that the public are unable to exercise a wise discrimination. THE CIVIL SERVICE &TIM AM. —LAW AND JI. ATIt E.—The iota estimates for "law and justice" in the year ending March 31, 1803, amount to 2,763,308/., being an increase of 121,8301. over the expenses for the previous year. The increase for England is 6,2481. ; for Scotland, 18,78% ; foe Ireland, 45221. ; for prison ►nl convict ser- Muse at borne and abroad, 15,2911. The chief item of la. creme is that for the Irish constabulary, which is no Ism than 80,4211. mare than the previous year. EXPORTS or SALMON.—It appears from a par liamentary rotors white was issued this morning that the value of salmon (of British taking) exported from the United Kingdom in 1859, was 18,6:511. ; in 1860, 22,3971.; and in 1861, Z.1.5J61.

THE UNSUCCENSFUL INCUBATION OF THE PYTHON. —All hopes of the hatching are sow at su end ; the eilis were removed yesterday (Friday) morning. N. blame eas attach whatever to the authortnee of the garden., or the keepers, for this unfortunate result on any account, unless it be the very forgivable one of a too polite attention to the wishes of members and visitors. There is no doubt that the frequent removals of the blanket in uncovering the eggs. and the occasional partial uncoiling. of the make, caused too numerous sudden changes of temperature for the prooer development of the young, which originally we know, horn Mr. Partlett's dissection, were in them. The effect; of these disturbances attained a climax is the lesgthened period of the snake's ebeenoe is shedding her skin, during which, it will be remembered hem ear former statement. the eggs became completely cold. They were removed under the direction of the super intendent of the acolrgical collection, by her keeper, who has attended her dense the whole of her bastion in the gardens. for more than seven years. The neeeseity for their removal was not only apparent from the bed state they were in. but the impoverished condition of the python, diminished in bulk by probably at least one-third of her former dimensions. cod her long absence from food, now 32 weeks, naturally led to anxiety as to her ultimate safety if she were allowed to hopelessly continue her witting. The sacks behaved spitefully during the operation. We cannot but express the hope that Dr. &later will soon have another opportunity of satisfying the interest which thin incubation has excited, when the like deference to the natural inquisitiveness of the public could Le, with pro priety, forbidden by the conned of the society, without soy install to earn Naiad ilsm—London &view.

A remarkable correspondence has taken place between the Earl of Hehome and the honorary secretaries of the Irish Church Education Society, in which the old subject of contention is revived, the noble lord taking the liberal view and falling in with the opinions of an in_ creasing body of the society's supporters. As Earl of Behnore declares his undiminished interest in scriptural education, for the extension of which he has done a great deal upon his own property ; but thinks that an association seeking aid from the state should not refuse secular educa tion to those pupils whose parents decline allowing them to receive scriptural instruction.

The Debate of to-clay has the following article upon a fact which was alludod to in our Paris letter ea Saturday : The Archbishop of Toulouse, in a pastoral letter ad dressed to the faithful of his diocese, announces a jubilee whisk is to commence in that city on the 16th of nest May. We observe that this local hate is intended to eslebrate the secular anniversary "of • glorious deed which was acoompliehed at Toulouse 300 years ago." In reeding this pastoral letter we naturally ask, What is the glorious deed of which the archbishop speaks with so much enthusiasm, and which, moreover, he so care fully avoids explaining? This reticence, evidently intentional, conceals an enigma, the solution of which is sufficiently know° to the Toulonnales, and this solution is as follows :—Three hundred years ago war wax declared at Toulouse between the catholic' and the Huguenots. The two sides fought desperately with arms in their hands. On the 16th of May, 1562, the catholic" compelled the protestant' to swept • capitulation, by the terms of which the protestant" were to leave the city in eatety on the condition that they laid down their arms at the Hotel de Ville. The protestant" having no distrust, began at once to lay down their arms ; but, by virtue of • maxim then generally admitted, that the faithful were not bound to keep sworn faith with heretics, the capitulation was shamefully violated, end the disarmed Huguenots ware massacred to the last man. This event is recorded by all the historians of the time, De Thou, Mize sal, Lo Popelinifire, in the memoirs of Conde, and of Mostlne—obove all, there is to be found • very detailed account of it in the general history of Languedoc of Don Vaieeette, VoL 5, p. 217 to 226 and p. 631. Some of these historians state that as man► as 4,000 Huguenots perished in this horrible butchery. The municipal officers of the city and the parliament, who took so sad • part in the religious struggles of that , epoch,wished to perpetuate the recollection of this "glorious day " by the institution of ► seeder VA*, which was autho- rind by two pontifical bulls, and which was celebrated on the two past anniversaries of the 16th of May, 1662, and the 16th of May, 1762. One might naturally suppose that the revolutions which have taken place since this laatdate, meet icg an abyss between the generations who were witnesses of these odious acts or associated with them, and modern generations, would have effaced for ever the recollection of them and abolished the fite instituted to glorify them. It is, however, this very fête that the Archbishop of Toulouse has conceived the project of reviving, and of which he pre scribes the celebration on the 16th of next May. Thus this glorious event, which excite. the ze►l and the enthusiasm of the Archbishop of Toulouse, this event, for which he returns thanks to " the goodness of God," this event in honour of which he announces a jubilee, solemn prooemious, and plenary indulgence, vase St. Bartholomew of which the city of Toulouse was the theatre ten years before that whioh eusanguined the streets of Paris on the fatal day of the 24th of August, 1572. It is thus th►t the Archbishop of Toulouse wishes "to reunite the chain of the past." The celebration of such a fete is a thought worthy of the age which beheld three abominable tragedies, worthy of the times which the Archbishop of Toulouse admires, sea which he dares to propose as an example to modern genera tions. In truth,we know not which should most astooish sad afflict us, the intolerance and the superannuated posies, which have inspired this resolutioa, or the imprudesce and the temerity which characterise it. Certainly, attar all that has taken place for some time past, owe an scarcely be surprised to see a member of the episcopate thus vin- Wetly set at naught the principles of tolenurce and religious liberty which have become the law of modern society, but what is astocishing is to see this member of the spiscopecy wanting in the most simple and ordinary pro duce. How is it that the Archbishop of Toulouse, who lime in the midst of our mouths:a population, who knows the ardour and ioteesity of their religious peesions, has sot sem the danger of this appeal made to such ill-omened re collections! How is it that he has not feared to revive the discords and the hatreds scarcely yet extinct? How is it that he has not recoiled before the responsibility of the misfortunes which might result from such renewed strug gles —ln speaking thus we believe we are expressing the sentiments which are manifested ►t Toulouse, where this untoward project has produced a sensation which is too well justified. We would still hops that the archbishop will abandon his intention, and not put into action this project, which has the doubleiobjection of being a deplorable anachronism, and a danger to the public peace. RUSSIA AND POLAND. The Official Gazette of Warsaw, of the 2nd lust., publishes the following : Written at the Citadel of Warsaw, by a Commission of Inquiry, March 28, 1862. By virtue of a decree of the is pursuance of aa order from the Aide-de-19=p General Vamiletnik, to-day, Prince Bebutow, together with the dela ptee named by that order, Dr. Tytus, professor of the Academy of Medicine ; Charles Minter, pro prietor of the house, No. 1,3:17 ; and Alexander Preys*, Chief Director of the Society of Land Credit, pro ceeded to the above-mentioned place in order to verify the report which was circulated in the city that Alexander Tensoyski, coutined in the citadel, and awned of having printed and circulated a revolutionary address to the Arch bishop Felinski, had been, during an examination for the purpose of causing him to reveal his accomplices, beaten with so much inhumanity that pieces of flesh ha d fallen from his body. Accordingly, Alex. Zamoyaki, archevist of the Society of Credit, was summoned from the place where he MY confined before the above.meutioued delegates. His identity having bee, proved by the Chief Director Preys., to the question which was put to him by the delegates, if he had been severely beaten, he replied, and affirmed it upon his honour, that since his arrest, not only had he been free from corporal punishment, bet not even a hand had been placed upon him. Prince Bebutow having asked him if be was not induced to make this avowal from fear, ho said in stantly that he would undress to prove the truth of his words ; but the delegates, who had no doubt on the matter, agreed that this was unnecessary, and that the falsity of the reports had been sufficiently proved. Thereupon the prods rerbal was closed, read over, accepted, and signed in the frib lowing order: Da. CHATUBINBIII, Ca. MINTER, AL. PREYS.% PR/NCZ Baaurow. (RATTIWITLLEGRAIN. ) ITALY. TURIN, Ann 7. The King has signed a decree ordering the re organisation of the magistracy in the southern pro. viuces. The visit of the King to Naples will take place after Easter. Accordiug to news from Naples, the band of Crooco has been defeated near Lovell°. Twenty five of the brigands were killed, the rest fled towards the Roman frontiers. The French troops have attacked and dispersed Chiavone's band near Prato Bompoli. The huts of the brigands were destroyed. On Friday a convoy of provisions, sent from Veroli for the brigands, was seised by the French troops.

The Patrie--authorised, I am much afraid— breaks a long silence, to announce that all the rumours of General de Goyon's recall from Rome are incorrect. The general, " remaining in posses sion of the powers with which be is invested, will not leave Rome ; and we believe we may also say that the Marquis de Lavalette will return to his poet at the expiration of his leave." Madame de Goyon's presence in Paris is now explained by the necessity of pleading her husband's cause ; which, it is to be presumed, she has gained, for "she has had the honour of being received by the Emperor and Empress." The Opinion Na tionale, which the other day said that General de Goyon was preparing to come home, now confirms the Patric's statement. It says that the question of De Goyon's recall was really on the lapis, but that the decision is that both the general and the ambassador are to remain at Rome. If this news be true, it is humiliating to M. de Lavalette and M. Thouvenel, as well as discourag ing to Italy. The Opinion Nationale speaks very strongly to night about the futility of the schemes of concilia tion with Rome. It says : There is war to the death between Italy and the Pope- King. One or the other must fall, and to force a compro mite upon two ouch bittar and necessarily irreconcilmble enemies is to sow the wind to reap the whirlwind, sad to coquet with a fleeting piece which is likely to be the pre• ludo to a bloody Europese war. It is evident that any slob compromise would ha broken almost as ma as concluded ; for atrium& the cabinet of Turin might bold itself bound, the Italia nation would not, and the advanced party would take is hands came which the ministry would have been 000stralsed to daunt. Dormeuil, the manager of the Vaudeville, writes to the papers to deny the statement of the Pays, which is insinuated to betrue by the Constitu tional, that he has been blamed by the Minister of the Interior and the prefect of police for the row at his theatre. He confirms the statement that the government ordered him to go on with the Coil lion after he had wished to withdraw it, and t h at it was finally withdrawn by order of the prefect of police. He, however, makes no allusion to the serious charge that the claque, departing from its duty as hired applauders, presumed to act as police men, and assault those who hissed. If the govern ment must interfere with theatres, it could not make a better use of its power than to abolish the claque, which is a permanent cabal of a most igno ble kind, and one whose interference with any ex pression of opinion by the real public always e:- cites justifiable indignation. In the present excitable state of the public mind great fears hays been entertained lest a military melodrama of strong Bonapartist tinge, which is to be brought out at the Porte St. Martin shortly, should give occasion for political manifestations. The Conalltutionuel has been instructed to deny that M. Mooquard, the Emperor's secretary, has had any hand in the composition of it, awl to assert that M. Victor Sejour, whose name appears on the bills, is the sole author. The censure, it is also stated, bas most diligently examined the pieoe, and cut out every passage that could by pos sibility be construed as a political allusion. It is therefore hoped that the public will receive it as "a national drama, depicting the patriotic emotions of the country in 1814, and the last efforts of the un fortunate hero against the coalition." This play, which has been got up at an extraordinary expense, is to be called Jeanne, La France, or Les Vann taint de 1814. PARIS, SaroanAT A political trial of some interest took place yes terday before the Correctional Tribunal. M. Taule, a medical student, and a writer in the recently sup pressed journal, the Travail, war accused as a prin cipal, and M. Martin Bernard, an ex-representative of the people, as an accomplice, of the crime newly devised by the Law of Public Safety, of "practising manoeuvres and carrying on intelligence with people abroad." The corpus del icti was simply this, that Taule wishing to send to Ledru Rollin, in London, a copy of the new song, "Le Lion du Quartier Latin," got his address from Martin Bernard, and took the opportunity of expressing political sym liathy for him. Although the letter to Ledru Rollin was enclosed in an envelope to another address, the police smelt it out, and it was duly seized and opened in the Post-office: The judgment finding Taule guilty, recites that his evident object was to put himself in communication with Ledrn Rollin, whom he describes as " working with indefatigable and de voted band for the welfare of the republic and the deliverance of the ceuntry." That he asked Ledru Rollin for copies of a speech pronounced by him over the grave of a Pole in order to make that speech better known ; and that he said, " We have still left to us the humble but active propa ganda of all friends of liberty ; that is the only thing which must always escape from the clutch of despotism as long as there remain in France men of heart and sincere republicans ; this holy phalanx is daily organising itself in silence ; new recruits swell its ranks every day. That in the said letter Taule noticed the recent attitude of the students in Paris, and after speaking of the scenes which took place on the occasion of the representation of M. E. About'a play, added—" Let us hope that this manifests tiou will not be the last, and, that it may not be so, it is important now and then to let young men hear the voices of those exiles whom they have never ceased to love, and to which they will respond when the hour comes for do' battle." That Taule sent at the same time to Led u Rollin some numbers of the journal Le Travail, which he de scribed as " a little tribune, serving as a first rallying point for the young men of the schools." Being of opinion that these facts and circumstances constituted manoeuvres with parties abroad calculated to disturb the public peace, the court sentenced Tattle to two months' imprisonment and a fine of 200 f. As to M. Ber nard, who admitted giving Ledru Rollin's address to Taule, but denied that he knew the contents of the letter, a verdict of "Not proven" was given. I presume that the above case is one of those re ferred to by the Moniteur some little time ago, when it announced that the government was in posses sion of the clue to "guilty intrigues." At all events, this is the only political prosecution of anything ' like serious importance which has occurred since. I believe, however, that the ex-deputies Greppo and Miot are still in custody, and, moreover, an scent. Very little business was done at the Bourse, as is often the case on a Saturday. The Rents closed firm at 70, yesterday's price, after unimportant fluctuations. Mobilier fell 2.50, and the Italian loan 15c. The Northern Railway fell 0.25, and Lyons 8.75 ; in the other lines there was little change. ' Letters from Lyons state that the exports of silk to New York during the last fortnight in March doubled those of any like period for a lung time past. Nevertheless the movement caused by the hopes of peace on the American continent was ' rather too rapid, and sales are now slack at Lyons. The news of the coming silk crop is said to be good. The Cot Won riota, which were expected to continue this evening, are at an end in consequence of the government, which at first insisted upon the per , formsoee going on, having now directed the management of the vaudeville to strike the piece out of the bills. I believe none of the people arrested on account of this pitiful affair now remain in custody. There were some broken ! heads and more broken sticks and umbrellas, but on the whole no great harm was done. The Jockey Club gentlemen were undoubtedly in the wrong ' when they pushed the privilege of disapproving a piece to the extent of preventing it from being ;:r. formed. That is not liberty, but opprei. m . Nevertheless, the elaque—the hired applauder were more wrong still when they executed a ch ug , upon the d imentients lathe orchest•ra stalls. The At , " announces to-night that the Minister of the Interior I and the Prefect of Police have severely blainol •hr management, which they hold responsible for the aggression of the claque. The director 4 vaudeville has been reminded that in rase of disturbance in a theatre the duty of riviterieJ order devolve, not upon the claque, but upon ti o. Police Commissioners in uniform, who will alwav, interfere with that moderation which is liaLiu :, to them. GREECE. (Isom s coaarstrosmarr.) ATHENS, Mice ts. Our position is no better than it was a weic Every day the friends of the government tell nu that tin insurgent. of Nauplia have surrendered, and the new, always turns out untrue. The government, notwith standing its late military successes, haa Leen te. dnoed to offer all sorts of Coll3olllliooll to the rebel, without achieving any result. In the first instacß A it offered an amnesty excepting from its operation only 1! ringleaders (almost all officers of high rank), and even the* , were to have been allowed to expatriate themselves with as indemnity for the law of their commissions. Thi, off„ was flatly rejected. The government then west so far an t, promise • general amnesty, without. any exception what. ever, and even undertook to retain all the con, promised of in its ser►ice ; bet this tv ni ,j attempt at propitiation obtained no better s or owe than the other. The King then sent y. Miaulis, Minister of Marine, and M. Conduriotis, Stioister.{ the Royal Household and of Foreign Affairs to the camp Argos, sad they proferred various concessions, which the. insurgents of Nauplia inexorably rejected. The Lott ! adhere to their original programme—" A tAi change of ministers, ministerial reeporssibility, dissolution the legislative chamber, and au appeal to a constituent a sambly." Y.M. Misulisand Conduriotis returned to Athena yesterday, and everybody knows the answer they brotult back with them. It is also known that after their &parlor: from Nauplia the insurgent population andgarrison solemn:, renewed their oath to resist to thelmt extremity. In therdpy army in theArgce camp there are a greatruany woundeded sick, and the government is not able to reinforce it He are scattered about in the whole kingdom about 4,000 royal troop', and they have quite enough to do to keep down d e populations, who, almost everywhere, at Syra, Nan, Nicosia, Santorini, Laconia, Diemen* Trifilia, Eurithea, Pthiotide, he., are ready to pronounce in favour of Nanpli 4 However, the government continues to resist, and U. question is anxiously asked, what are we coming to certain that the authors of the movement are sornethoi more than ordinary rebels; it is the whole satire whirl a agitating, and woe to the sovereign who makes no aroma of the symptoms. The Greek ,minces have been mate damaged by there events. If the presentstate of things Meld last six weeks longer I doubt not that every resource will be exhausted. Taxes are not paid, and the corn in the eau gr►naries (the produce of the tithes) can only be sold at re duced prices. The attitude of the ministers of the three great pro. Stating powers is said to be strictly neat el. Nothing positive is however known on this subject, bat the Green construe silence in their own favour, and are persuaded more sod more every day that they will be permitted to send their difference with their Sovereign without interference. The Queen begins to be frightened at the obstinacy of the insurrection. Public opinion is greatly irritated spi her. This imprudent Sovereign may fairly bout of having provoked the hatred of her subjects. It is to her especially that the reckless maintenance of • system of goveremnt in flagrant violation of the meat specific articles of the Hsi. lenic constitution is attributed. What the court of Green particularly dreads, in the event of • constituent aamembly bung convoked, is, that • question of succession to tle throne might be raised ; and this fear is well founded. No doubt the first question put to the King by rich an agent bly would be one touching his successor ; and if the Kit should name one he might as well prepare to abdicate d once. The fact is that the majority of the nation wishes h be rid legally, if possible, of s sovereign who will le justly reproached by history with having attempted I maintain the state quo at all hazards. _Moreover, Kid Otho's government has never done anything for the mate:id interests of the country. The inhabitants have done** beet for agriculture in spite of multitudinous vexations a the part of government ; but manufactures are a nullity, and they are detestedat court." The Paine confirms the news that the insurgent guns of Naupli• has definitively rejected all the offers of w amnesty, and says that General success, on Mani 12, was confined to the taking of the advaand works of Aria. On the 26th, he attempted to cut the aqueduct which conveys water frog Glikia to the town ; and the insurgent', wonder* that aggressive not &violation of the truce, opened fire hoe all their batteries upon the royal troops. The Petrie an says that fresh disorders have broken out in different put of Greece, more particularly in Acarnanis and Nesse* in the centre and south west of the Peloponnesns ; sod dart the rumour of the Porte having countermanded its prom tiooary measures with • view to the events in GreenS untrue ; the Turkish &deistic squadron continues tenni in the gulf of Arta, and it has a corps of observation on it southern frontier commanded by Sada Pacha, a Pahl general whose name is Ciaika.
