Letters from Zante of the 3d inst. say that Ibrahim had sent several thousand met into the interior of the :ilorea, to procure provisions, the distress in the Egyp tian camp having increased in the greatest degree, through the block.ule cf Navarin and Modon, so that Ibrahim had no alternative but to obtain provisions by force, or submit to the demands of the allies, and evil mate the Morea. The orders which he has received from his father and the Porte appear positively to forbid bun the latter, and he is said to have intimated this to the Admirals of the combined squadrons, requesting them not to compel him, by cutting off all supplies of provi,ions, to procure them by force from the unhappy inhabitants of the country ; that he could not act in op position to the orders which he had received from his Grivernment, and must carry them into execution if he were to perish in so doing. The Admirals are said to have replied to him that they too must strictly obey fieir instructions; that the evacuation of the MOM was for the it taest of the Porte and of Egypt; and they could only advise him to take the necessary steps to be allowed to withdraw his troops. Ibrahim Pacha, after failing in his attempts to come to an understanding with the Admirals r f the Allies, is said to have sent an envoy to Sir F. Adam, at Corfu, and to have been answered by him that he was sorry he could not co m ply wiLir his wishes, as t he Admirals had their instructions, and the Powers were firmly resolved to restore tran f,u'llity to Cr.eece, which could only be done by the formal evacuation of the Morea and the Islands. Upon this answer pert of the Egyptians are said to have left the camp at Modoa, and have retreated into the interior of the Mores. The Seraskier, Red:chid Pacha, intended to go from Arta to Janina, to review the troops that have lately arrived there. JASSY, Julia 14. Accounts from (Matz say, that since the crossing of the Danube by the Russian army, the siege of Brairow is pro,ecuted with increased activity, and the fill of the icrtres s was expected shortly to take place. At the be- Onning of this month the Turks made a sally, which led to some severe fighting, with considerable loss upon tut') sides. We hear from Kischerenif that the Russian guards, that lett St. Petersburgh the 15th Apia, bad already arrived in Bessarabia. In one of the late sittings of the I),, aii o f M.,ldavia, it war proposed by a few mem bet: to declare invalid the nomination of the Boyar& blade by Prince Sourdza, during the time that the kussiarh had nu Council at Jassy.

A litter from an °Neer, dated on board one of the English ships before Navarin, 6th J.ine, gives a very unfavourable picture of the state of Greece, and of the character of its inhabitants. " This dreadful de mor..liza ion of the people is, indeed," he observe.., " nn other than may be expected among men who have for centuries been slaves to the Turks. All the Greek , are >o accustomed to robbery, that one m'ght almost say they are distinguished from each other only by the degrees of conception. The higher the rank, the mote striking is the want of a sense of honour. " If:relieve I do not say too much, when I af f irm thst. except•old Miatiiis, there is not one among them known by the name of patriots, who has not been a robber either by sea or laud. We have nearly put an end to piracy, and Count Capod'lstria does his utmost to put an end to robbery by land—not only we English, but all European Officers, to whatever nation they belong, will confess, that the interest which so good a cause naturally inspires, may be mote easily felt and cherished at Genoa, London, and Paris than here on the spot, where the osserver has constantly before his eyes the • shocking picture of degeneracy and the total want of common honesty; he must not forget, however, that the civilized man is easily led to ju ige falsely when he observes barbarians and slaves snuggling for a better state of things. This degeneracy mu , t also be con. sidered as the most urgent call to afford assistance. I must also mention the causes of the continuation of this state of confusion: one is the vacillating conduct of the Allied Powers towards Ibrahim, and that nothing Ass et been done to accomplish the Treaty of 6th July. Ihe other is, I think, in the conduct of many Europeans who have jo ned the Greeks, under the name of Phil. hellenes. There are undoubtedly exceptions, especially Col. Von Heidegger„ who has done more than all others to restore order in Greece. He is universally esteemed as judicious, resolute, and, wh a t the greatest im, l portance—disinterested. He is almost the only one in whom Count Capo d'lstria confides, and if he was to go away his loss would be irreparable. Among the others there are men who, for some reason or other, perhaps without their own fault, are not to be trusted, and also probably have injured the Greet cause. 84 We arrived here at the end of May, and we are in daily expectation of Admiral Codrington. Ni varin and Modon are very strictly blockaded ; not a boat can go in or out. Ibrahim is enraged at this, and is preparing to defend himself. He is in want of pro-. visions, but has found much corn in the interior of the country. During the whole winter he received fresh supplies by German and lonian ships; now nit a day passes but sonic of those ships attempt to enter the port. It may be foreseen that it will not be long before some cf these ships will be fired at and sunk. On the Ist of June a convoy of fourteen or fineen ships came in sight—some approached the coast. We let them conic near to us, and informed them that' we should immediately take them if they attempted to enter Modon or Navarin, upon which they put back, most of them, as they told us, to Trieste. The blockade is now so st.ict that even neutral men-of-war would be warned off. It is time to do something to get rid of brahins. I have become acquainted here with many Russian Officers. It would be a most egregeous error to fancy that the Russians are barbarians. They have even an advantage over us in the enthusiasm of a rising civilization. The condition of the Russian ships is in every respect worthy of praise, and does credit to the Government. We are on very good terms with their commanding officers. is Yesterday, the sth of June, we were for the greater part of the day within pistol shot of Navarin and Mo don. We saw a large body of Ibrahim's soldiers, ar rived from the interior cf the Morea. They had reaped the whole harvest, and plundered the inhabitants of all their horned cattle and sheep. I fear that by this means Ibrahim has obtained a large supply, so that it will coat the Allies much trouble to get him away, he now baying a camp made, and his troops seem to be in the best order. Almost every day we see great fires in the interior of the country, wising from the devas tations he commits in unhappy Greece. Hew much longer will this Barbarian be allowed to continue his cruelties r—/Ilgetneine Zeitung, June 30. LISBON PAYERS. LISBON, Joss 23. The Three Estates of tie Kingdom met to-day in the Royal Palace of Ajuda, convoked by virtue of the Decree of the Sd May. The respectable and truly au. gust assembly of the Portuguese nation, which, since its first meeting at Lamego, in the year 1143, till now, has been assembled about 100 times, on important oc casions which his Majesty Don John VI. intended for the best grounded reasons to convoke, as it appears from his immortal diploma of the 4th June, 1824, but which be was not able to carry into effect, GOD re serving that glory for his august son, Senor Don Mi• guel I. his legitimate successiir to the Crown of these 'Kingdoms of Portugal and Alga, ves, and their domi nions; not choosing, to the confusion of his and our enemies, to assunie the sceptre which such clear and soleisin titles secured to him, till his incontrovertible right should be weighed by the National Congress, united in the legal form, established at the foundation of this monarchy. This venerable assembly of the Prelates, Grandees of the kingdom, end deputies of the cities and considerable towns, who have a seat in the Cones, began to arrive at the Palace before three o'clock in the afternoon, and being all assembled in a magnificent stloon aopointed for the purpose, by four o'cl..ck the august Prince ar• rived, dressed in the anc i en t Portugttest costume (as all those persons who vote in the Cortes were likewise dressed, except the Clergy and Magistrates), and suc ceeded by the Mace-hearers, Kings at Arms, Herald,. and Pursuivants, and the Royal Suite entered the saloon, and proceeded to the Throne, the doors being shut against all those who had no votes on this solemn oc casion. The Members having taken their places, and his Excellency the Duke de Cadaval holding the sword, the Most Excellent and Rev. Bishop of Visue read tie. opening speech to the Cones, after which the Desttin hargador, Jose Accurcon das Heves, one of the two Procurators to the city of Lisbon, to whim this privi lege belongs by ancient custom. The documents having been read with general ap plause, hi: Majesty descended (torn the Throne, and returned with the same order and su-te to his apart ments, and then to the drawing-room, where the Mem , bers of the Three Estates s+ ere admit-ted to kiss his Majesty's babe. as well as many r f the Fallon% who re paired to the Palace on this solerros occasion. At the ves:i!snie of the Palace a brilliant Guard of Royal Viiluntvets were stat , oned, consisting of persons of distinction in the fine,t order, and with such a mili tary appearance, that it seems incredible that so brilliant a corps should have been formed, armed, and disci plined in three weeks. The acclamations of the immense crowd in the square were incessant, especially when the Members of the Three Estates came out. They are to meet to carry on their proceedings with the greatest liberty.

JUNE 28.—The Gazette contains a dispatch from Major-General A. X. DA FONCECA CONTINTO, com manding the van guard of the army, dated Coimbri, 26th of June, in which he states that :he loyal troops had defeated the rebels on the 24th, who had suffered considerable loss, and were so int.midated that they rather fled than retreated. The details are not given. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. " LISBON, Java Ss. 41 As you will observe by our public news, the meet ing of the Three Estates or Cortes of Lamego took place, for the first time, at the Palace of Ajuda, on the 23d, before Miguel and his Court. The famous Bishop of Viseu, the celebrated Minister of the Interior of the Princess Regent, so much praised I,r his honesty and political integrity by his predecessor and friend Trigoso, wbo recommended hits to the Princess—this infamous Bishop, 1 say, was the first who on the occasion raised his rebellious voice in favour of Miguel, and was an swered by the Dezembargador Accursion das Never, Secretary of the Tribunal and Board of Commerce,one of the Deputie ) from Lisbon, a most notorious old rebel, and favourite of the tygress Queen. I send you those two speeches, in order that you may judge of the scan dalous conduct of these hoed acclamators ; for you must know that the Bishop and this Accursio know what they are doing—the former is to be a Cardinal, and the latter expects to be a Marquis of Pumbal. 4. You will observe, also, in . the same Gazette, the decree recalling all the rebels who are in Spain, pro nounced the first and constant defenders of the funds • mental laws of the kingdom, and restored provisionally to all their appointments. This will not be agreeable to the existing rebels who occupy their places and offices, and it would not be an easy matter to pay the services, and satiate the vanity and ambition of Chaves and all his gang, should they be let loose by the French and Spanish Governments. Should this take place, then we shall hear of still greater atrocities than heretofore. ge I dare say you will be pleased to see the official commentary of the protest of the Marquis Recende and Viscount Itabayana, against Miguel and his Govern ment, as it appeared in our Gazette cf the 23d. It is a most curious do cument , not on l y f or its mean, abject, sophistical language, but also for the usual impudence and falsehoods; for instance, in reference to the foreign residents here haring ceased their diplomatic functions, it says boldly, 4 that it is no wonder, for as the suves eign is changed, their former credentials were no longer valid, and they are obliged to wait for new ones: in the meanwhile, they are admiring with respect and astonishment the noble and orderly march of the events th e y witness,' &c. flare you ever seen in a Government paper greater impudence ? As it is the only paper allowed t.)ciicuiate, it is the only one that rules the poor inhabitants ; aid it is a tact, that at three or four leagues from Lisb. n—nay, at half a league —at Almada, on the other side of the Tagus, no one is allowed to doubt of the false motive abovementioned of the fo eign Ministers absence from official business. What will be iitid when they see tht . 4 In co-day's Gazelle. Government owns that all ap peals to money lenders, in shape of regular loans, having proved ineffectual, and Miguel not wishing to employ force to obtain money, has ordered that a coffer be disposed at the public tteasery, to receive donations, whrch shall be published; which is as much as to say that the rabble will do justice ta those who do not figure in the Gazette as it did on the 23d at the Palace Ajtida to Baron Quintella, on his at.eniing (basely) the rebellious Cortes, f r not having given a farthing latterly, when others more cowardly contributed al together the miserable sum o! 81,000 milree, The Baron's carriage was about to be smashed to pieces, and tr outsell assassinated, had he not gr t out quickly into the Palace, and his smart English coachman driven it away to Lis6on at full speed, leaving his master to go home under the protection of a modest hackney chaise. " It is whispered in the higher circle of acclamators, that it may prove beneficial arid prudent for Miguel not to pro Claim himself just yet, on account of the de parture of the Foreign Ministers, which would have a shocking effect, notwithstanding whatever might be published to colour it. It is not unlikely, therefore, that his coronation may be deferred. " On the 25th the Three Estates deliberated, sepa rately, on the object of their convocation ; that is, the Nobility in the church of Sr. Roch, the Clergy in that of..Sts Antony, near the cathedral, and the people (represented by a few infamous wrrt:hes) in the church' St. Francisco. The deliberations were not long, and all was decided by acclamation—of course, that Miguel was the legitimate King since his father's death, and consequently that all that has existed since has been null and void. 'They have met again to fix the succession to the crown, in case he should die with out heirs; and the Duke of Cadaval is to be one of the nearest successors. Thus is part cf the pay promised him for his scandalous perjury. Thirdly, They haye requested Miguel 'to marry as soon as possible, to secure the crown to his noble and beautiful race.— Now we wait his determinaticin en the official docu ments •of these resolutions being presented to him.-- The theatre of San Carlos was shut yesterday,. on account of some successive afEays between the English officers of the ships in our roaclv, and the ruffian acclrnators, to vociferate vivas and call for the Apostolical hymn. The differences I;regan a few nights ago; oa that hymn being played, some English officers did not stand up, but remained seated, with their hats on. They were called on to take them off, and they preferred walking away, which they did. The nest night there were more, and they did the same; but then they were very muds abased as they left the fore pit where they were. Lastly, on Wednesday, the 25th, they were about 15. As they were leaving the pit in the same' way, nut to witness nor hear these infamous proceedings, they were shouted at ; and as the last one was going out, two of the ruffians, in volunteers uniforms, ran from the common pit, where they were, over the benches into the front pit, and with their drawn swords reached that officer, and knocked his hat off his head. They all united immediately and required a satisfaction, and insisted upon it, but the noble acclamatots, though they assassinate, they do not fight and run away. In consequence, the 15 officers re-entered the pit, took their former places w.th their hats on, and seated themselves with their backs to the stage and facing the great gang of ruffians in the corn. mon pit, holding their swords before them unorasvn, but ready for it, the whole time the hymn was played. This resolute and noble appearance intimida , ed the gang to such a degree, that not a single word was addi essed to them; and notwithstanding their going to the coffee rooms afterwards to seek for the two rascals who had insulted one of the officers, they were not inter feted w.th in the least. The consequence was, that Capt. Santoro: prohibited their coming ashore at night, and on the other the theatre was closed last night. Every one praises ex tremely the dignity and prudence of the English officers; for every one has a right to go out of a theatre when he pleases, and particularly when it is disgraced by the ricts of ruffians like the Miguelites.” NEW YORK PAPERS. Letters from Lima, of March 20, state that the Con. gress, which had been eight months in Session, had cum. pieced the revisal of the Constitution, which was signed by the President Lamar on the 19:11, and was to be ra tufied by the people on the 25th.

The Mexican Papers give a horrible picture of the civil war now raging between the States of Guatemala and St. Salvador. The soldiers of the f inner State, on entering Sr. Salvador, put to death by fire and sword men, women, and chrldren.The feeble and the aged were driven at the point of the bayonet to perish in the flames.. We learn by Captain Simmons, of the brig Apollo, from Tampico, that wben he left, on the 19th of May, the Spanish fleet under Commodore Laborde was daily looked for, and preparations were making to repel him.
