We learn from different quarters, that the state of opinion begins to be sensibly in- . roved, since extreme parties find themselves equally restrained. ie little success which attended the Petitions for recal of the banished has disconcerted the Ultra ..,berals, and the firmness of the Government in the tintenance of liberal institutions, has destroyed in Ultra-Royalists all hope of a change of system. France possesses at present 246 ships of war, tong which there are 48 vessels of the line and 29 igates. Eleven vessels of the line and four frigates on the stocks. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—Smoom or Tursokr. • fhe MINISTER o f FOREIGN AFFAIRS presented a ?reject of Law authorising his. Majesty to exchange !*:..e Lutes of Ncuilly and Villiers, part of the Crown 'fn.:rains, for the Orleans stables, situated in the Rue Thomas de Louvrc, the acquisition of which is ne :essary to the completion of the design conceived and' :?un to be executed by the last Government of cziting the Louvre and the Thuilleries. His Excel lency observed, that this work, for some time sus petki.',l, ought no longer to be delayed, and that it as desirab)e to finish, as quickly as possible, a mo .urnent which might serve as a fit habitation for the Inr.arch of a great nation, and become at the same the Palace of the Arts, which it cultivates with se ne.:ch success and glory. The discussion en the Budget of Marine was re- I•:reed, and the total credit moved for was finally ranted without any modification. The Chamber th;in passed to the consideration of Budget of the Minister of Finances. I'`.. BENJAMIN CONSTANT entered into an elaborate turniaation of the different items of the Budget, and :enclucied by submitting eight different Amend ments, the general effect of which would be a reduc hen in the expense of this Department of 1,029,000 fr.

On the 18th instant, his Majesty gave audience to Mr. Porcyth, *ho presented his rrodessisis as Minis ter from the United States. *- Our news from Lima come down tS the 20d1 No vember last. They contain an account of the military operations of the Royal troops against the Rebels.— In Peru, as in Mexico, the latter do nothing more than harass the Royalists ; the moment our troops present themselves, the Rebels take to flight. They held no plate of any consequence. Several Pro vinces, such as those of La Plata, Pasco, &c. enjoy already the greatest tranquillity ; the mines of the latter are in a most productive state, thanks to the use of the Steam Engine which has been recently in- :reduced for their drainage. These mines have of late produced considerable quantities of metals. The same letters mention, that according to ad vices from the Port of St. Blas, on the West Coast of Mexico, there had been an earthquake, which had done a great deal of damage in the city of Guada la xara. The towers of the Cathedral had been thrown down, and the rest of the building nearly destroyed. A great number of persons had perished, and the houses were left deserted. It is added, that the fear of new corsairs who infest the South Sea, detained in the part of St. Bias twelve vessels which were ready to sail, among which three were destined for Europe. A report is current this morning that the Alexan. , der the First, of 74 guns, which made part of the expedition that sailed a few days ago from Cadiz, has been forced to return on account of some new damage which it has sustained, thus reducing the ex pedition to one man of war and a frigate. yo oc occe th kr LIA c ., rc h at to c 11. t t ' *l ,11 1:‘ IS 19:- 1C • • t . , t ; r t r..,:i:s T . :C.. roJ: I . :e We 1 E 4:, E. iti,l d . anz.

The situation of this capital of the Ottoman Em pile is truly deplorable—rebellious troops, bloody combats, fires, deserted streets—such is the affecting picture which Constantinople presents at the present moment. Yesterday the whole city was in a state of the most cruel alarm from the blot* combats of the Janissaries and the Kimbaridschi. The noise of cannon resounded on all sides, and many of both parties were killed and wounded. The heads of the military have endeavoured in vain to restore order; we know not what to do. Yesterday, at three o'clock in the morning, a part of Scutari was in flames, and it was not till after long and painful exertions that their progress was stopped. In the midst of theso.troubles and misfortunes the Sublime Porte acts wiih severity towards those of his Officers who neglect their duty. The head of Kavanas Oglou was last week seen on the interior gate of the Seraglio. Although descended from one of the richest families of Romelia, and a Pacha of two toils, he could not escape a disgrace, the cause of which is as yet unknown. His great wealth devolves to the Grand Seignior. Some other measures have also taken place. The former Grand Vizier has been recalled (torn his exile, and named Governor of Tekke, in Asia ; his predecessor has been sent to the Pachalik of Itschik. The Bostanghi•Bachi is de graded, and re-placed by Hasscki-Pacha. The news from Smyrna is still disquieting, on ac count, especially, of our frequent communications with that city, where the plague continues its ravages• VIENNA, MAY 2S. Commerce languishes—there are no bankruptcies —but at the same time there is no business doing. Money is abundant, and discount very low. The corn and vines present a most promising appearance. We learn from Inspruck, that the Emperor has conferred a distinguished mark of his benevolence on the family of the late Andrew Hoffer, the celebrated innkeeper, who put himself at the head of the Tyro lean volunteers, in 1809, and who being afterwards taken prisoner, was shot by order of Bonaparte.= —His Majesty has granted to the widow of Hoffer an anneal pension of 500 florins, a pension of 200 florins to each of his four daughters, with a dowry of 500 florins each in case of marriage ; and ordered some considerable hotel to be purchased for the son, Jean Hoffer. ZURICM, MAY 51. The Government has been at last successful 41 discovering all the affiliations of those brigands and thieves which have for so long a time infested part of Switzerland. Two Chiefs of the Band, FelixWaser and Jean Ulrich,; were beheaded on the 24th of May at Zug. It appears from the information obtained, that their principal establishments were in the forests of the Canton of Lucerne, at Schindileggi, and other places of the Canton of Schwyz, and at several points in the Cantons of Zug, Argovia, and Soleure. They had fixed places of meeting, where they were obliged to assemble at stated periods. PROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. " PARIS, JUNE 9e g, I have snore than once endeavoured to call the attention of the British Government to a due consi deration of the objects, character, and aims of Rus sian policy. They have too long been much misun derstood, but I have reason to believe, (for we can here learn facts not so easily discovered in London) that Lord Castlereagh and the Duke of Wellington have at last begun to view them in a different light from what they formerly did. Let me hope, how ever, t h at there is no serious intention to send the Duke to Stockholm. Diplomacy is not the kind of service in which his great powers should be employed ; on that point no doubts are entertained here. His services may yet be wanted, and perhaps sooner than some people may imagine, in that line in which he has no rival, and for that line alone should he bet* ieived. The fate of Europe &rale nest half century; mat depend an the character (not for valour) of the indisklual sent to Copenhagen; and if *btild be worse than plating our political existence on the cast of a die, to be indifferent t o the diplomatic audit,- ments of the individdal Who may be sent to that capi- tali It is in Sweden, and at tilt Cburt of Charles John, that the great question of peach or *at in Europe will be deCided. Rntsia (it is bell'eved in the best informed circles here) has sworn hii OVerthrOw. England ought to swear to maintain hith. In Eng land wt have not to fear the liperborian Hordes. The wooden walls of old England will protect us; but continental Europe will have to strdggle against them. In Russia every thing is reduced to calcula tion, and (if we may credit what is confidently asserted here,) at a late Council of State it was discussed what would be the maximum of loss to Russia to effect the conquest of the rest of Europe?* One of the Generals, (B---, if I am rightly informed,) rose and stated, that to conquer Europe it would be necessary to destroy 500,000 of her troops ; this done, the con quest was certain; that to effect this, they must cal culate on losing themselves at least 1,500,000, ()Wing to the inferior state of discipline of the Russian troops, &C. &c. ; added to which, 500,000 more might be re- Attired to garrison the fortresses, and 500,000 addi tional m maintain the countries in a state of coloniza tion. This calculation was regarded as the maxi mum. The assistance of Prussia, it was thought, might be calculated on, who was to be promised a I large share of the German empire, for her co-opera tion. Such are the ridiculous dreams of the demi savages of the north. The required numbers it was agreed, could be found ; but the means of raising, equipping, and paying such an Army, suspended all fat ther deliberations. I have no particular affection for the King of Sweden ; I can never forgive his turning Against his old friend and patron Bonaparte ; but his case was a delicate and peculiar one, and which ever way he might act, he was sure to incur an equal degree of blame, besides the danger ; for had he refused, it was decided to dethrone Charles XIII. by attacking Swe den by sea and land with large forces, and proclaiin ing young Gustavus. Let not England forget the services, (or, if gratitude be out of the question,) let her look to her present and future welfare, by allying herself closely to Sweden, who can furnish the prin cipal supplies for her marine. Russia may have her spies every where, and she has several in every state, whether great or small. I do not include in the number the Duke of Richelieu, Governor of Odessa, who is now travelling with a passport which he had made out for him, as a General in the Russian ser vice. But what part will France take ? If England looks hot well to her own interests in this quarter, tad employs not able agents here to support them, France, that is s the Government, will throw herself into the arms of Russia : but France is nbt to be feared ; England has the means in her power of turn ing the scale as she pleases with a single breath." • This statement we consider as quite ineredible.—Etut Yesterday morning Prince LEOPOLD,. attended by Baron HAlN:mantel!, visited the Duchess of Yoax and the Duke and Duchess of KENT. In the even ing Prince LEOPOLD left town for Claremont. The buke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER had a din.; ner party yesterday. The Duke of NORFOLK and the Catholic Bishop, Dr. POYNTER, attended the Debate on Thursday night, in the House of Lords. They stood in the place railed in, near the Throne, for the reception of privi leged persons. The Duke of WELLINGTON appeared yesterday in the House of Peers, in a full dress Field-Marshal's uniform, and decorated with the Garter and several others of his numerous Orders. The Countess of TEMPLE has presented a new Set of Colours to the second regiment of Bucks Yeo manry Cavalry, who met her Ladyship, and Earl TEMPLE, on the day of their nuptiali, on the confines of Buckinghamshire, and escorted them to Stow. The reception of the PERSIAN AMBASSADOR by his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, ai Ascot . Races, was highly calculated to pleace his EiCel lency. lie was escorted in his carriage to the Royal Stand by Sir GORE OusLax and Mr. Moasu, where the PRINCE REGENT soon after arrived. His Royal Highness and the Ambassador remained on the Stand during the whole of the Races ; on his de parture his Royal Highness was cheered by the crowd, and the same honour was conferred upon the Ambassador, who has learnt to prize it as the high= est honour he can receive in this land of liberty.— The Ambassador followed his Royal Highness to the Cottage, in Windsor Park, where he dined, and was seated on his Royal Highness's right hand. We ought not to have finished our remarks on the' closing of Drury-Lane Theatre without Mentioning the pleasure which We derived from the lively per formance of Lady Percy, by Mrs. ROBINSON. Her naivete formed a most pleasant contrast to the brus querie of the fiery Hotspur, and we were happy to see that such efforts met with deserved approbation. This Lady's feeling personation of Cora, on the pre ceding evening, proves that her talents are not only capable of exertion in the lighter parts of the Drama, since we have seldom witnessed any thing on the' Stage more affecting than her scene with Rulla ; and we cannot help expressing our regret that we have seen so little of her this last season, acid otir hope that the next may present her with more opportuni ties of diplaying those talents which require only fostering to arise to perfection , Swan .
