The reinforcements brought by the squadron of S rph tury'have been landed at Dragomestre. Some theek vessels are expected in tie Port of Tieeesa, which are to commence in the Gulf of Arta the operations for the invasion of Epirus. A circumstance favourable to the Greeks has lately harmed in that country. The Bey and the Agas of Datvino, and other places in Albania. had not obeyed the orders of Redschid Pacha, who had commanded them to repair to Janina. In consequence of this, ReJschid sent his son and 500 men to D.lvino to punish the Albanian Chief,. But the lacier made themselves masters of the forts of Jamoa-Q.►arantana, and also entrenched themselves in the citadel of Purto Palermo. • The most active among them was Sey Bey, the ,on of Mustapha Pacha. These Chiefs are, therefore, in open revolt against the Porte ; and are become the more dangerous, because the Christian inhabitants of the country have joined them. Their example inailhave an influence very rejurious to the Porte in the rest of Albania.. Gazette de Florence. NEM THE MESSAGER DES CHAMBERS, MAY 18. SECOND EDITION. The Journals have given this morning, u received by telegraphic dispatches, news from Lisbon of. the 3d of May. We have letters of the same date, which may 'throw some light on the events of the eafital. LISBON, MAT 5. I know from good authority that Don Miguel was, inclined to accept the crown, if it had been offered tol him by a preponderating majority, and by the most in fluential part of the people. Being deceived in his ex-1 pectations, the Infante perceived that it was nece.sary to temporize, but in his Decree In reply to the Address of the Municipality, he expressed, in a manner by no Means equivocal, bus satisfaction at the popular move ments organised in his favour. The latter part of the Decree indicates measures which ate entirely con sonant to what had just passed. The firm cond,act which the Foreign Ministers continue to observe has.ms.de a !cleat impression on the mind of his Royal Highness, who hoped that their Excellencies, in giving an account to their Ccurts of the late event,, would infer from them the necessity of suffering the Portuguese nation to crown the Prince whom it had chosen, as if any thing moie than a sound judgment was ss anted to see that the masses which acted on the 25th were guided by an in &vice from which the respectable inhabitants had kept' free. The chief intrigue's are now so sensible that their plan has failed, that they would willingly endeavour to prepare a second more decisive; but enormous sums would be required, and the penury of our finances b notorious. It is affirmed that the Foreign Ambassadors, not satisfied with blaming the events which are now hap pening in Portugal, have addressed energetic notes to the Infante, to induce him to abandon the crooked path into which he has entered; if his Royal Highness con •tinues deaf to their wise remonstrance'', it is expected that their Excellencies will leave Portugal. The obstinacy of the Infante, and his ambition, which his followers take care to keep, by concealing from him tile dangers of his situation, gives reason to fear a very deplorable result; meantime the authorities continue to take efficacious measures for the pie•ervation of tran quillity in the capital. The juices dos baitro (corns is. saries of the quarters) have ordered the keefiers of coffee houses and taverns, and all public tstabfislanents, t'. forbid their customers to indulge in any di cession on political subjects. M. Joseph Be rnar d d e F at i a , M a . gistrate at •Coimbra, and M. Pinto Coelho, formed) Civil Corregidor of the City, have jest been appointed Stib-Intendants of Police.

The Marquis of DOWNS!! 1 lOC pre.efiteti a Pl.tltion from a considerable number of Nohletrit4l; Gentlemen, Landowners,' Merchant., and others in the Kitigdoeti of Ireland, describing the distresaed stair of the population of mit country, and praying that ; some niea-ure might be iidoeted to encourage and facilitate the: employment of the people. The Petitioners respectfully suggested the appointment via Commission, to devise some system for drain ing and cultivating the wave laml4, which rsiited to the extent of many mildotis of acres, and for more fully developing the other vast natural resources of the country. &OMAN CATHOLICS. Earl GREY, after apologising to their Lordships for having yesterday offered to them a Petition aildtes+esi t•) the other house, of Parßeale:it, said that he now held the right Petition io hi: hand, which, after the indulgence their Lordships had extended to him on that occasion, he would now present without any farther obser vation. The Petition, Which was from the Noblemen, Gentle Men, and others professing the Roman Catholic religion in Great Britain, and prayed for relief trims all civil disabilities, was then read at length, and ordered to lie upon the table. Lord KING presented a similar Petition from the Roman Ca tholic Inhabitant, of Donoughmore, in Ireland. The Earl of WA FTESBURY presented a grtat number of Petitions, against any further Concessions to the Roman Catholics, front diffetent Parishes io the County of Cavan. Earl GUOSVENOR, after several observations, presented, a Petition frqm thr Roman Catholics of Holly well, in the County of Chester, for the repeal of the civil (liabilities under which they labour: The above Petitions were severally ordered to lie upon the table. On the motion of Lord Wmaascurrt, the Report of the Night Poaching Bill was received, and the third reading ordered for to-morrow. SURREY COAL METERS BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved the third reading of this Bill. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, chit he had made inquiries opoa thebubject, and hr had been led to conclude that it was desirable that the present Bill should pass; but he begged to propose a clause, limit ing its operation to one year him theist of July next. He proposed this ct.use with a view to prevent-the Bill rom stanuing in the way of our luture improvement which might be suggested. • . Lord KINLi was glad to hear the proposal of the Noble Duke, as he was desirous that an opportunity should he afforded for a full discussion of the subject in the next Session of Parliament. The present system was only calculated to throw th- public off their guard, for if inquiries were made into the actual practice, it would be found so slovenly as to be a mere delusion: He had' heard of one of the principal Meters for Middlesex being in the King's Bench •Ptiton. from the month of November to March. On the espirAtion of this Bill in July of next year,. he should recommend that for the futute it should be left to the option of the buyer, whe ther he would not avoid the expense of metage by trust ing to the good faith of the "eller. Lord WHARNCLIFFE said, that as he was con nected with the coal trade in the north, and belonged to a class of men who were frequently described as over. grown monopolists, he was anxious for a fall investiga tion of the subject. He was particularly anxious to asceitain if some means could not be found of getting rid of the enormous expense which attended the deli very of coals in this toit. 11 The Amendment was thee► agreed to, and the Bill read a third time and passed. MKT)/ 111711ANCHIlitliENT BILL. The House went into a Committee to . hear Counsel against the Disfranchkement Bill. Mr.. Ha sallow stated, that after anxiously considering the respon sibility which he was under—though his clients were desirous to clear themselves from the imputations which had been cast upon them, yet, as he was persuaded no evidence had been . given which could by possibility induce their Lortlships,to sanction the Bill, he had come to a determination to close the case without' calling any witnesses; and rely with confidence on the judgment of their Lord ships. The• Earl of CA RN A R VON moved, that the further consider ation of the Dill should be postponed till after the holidays. The House adjourned at Tsv aster MINUTIA. isroas HOUSE OF COMMONS.

A blessa,ge front the Lords announced that their Lordships had agreed to several lens without Amendment. • IMAM LAWS. Mr. P. THOMSON said, he was await, that the subject to which he was about to regiest the attendees of tie Hesse had been so frequently discussed, that he could not hope to advat ce any thing new respectiog it. ed be should have been content simply to makethe eireeibition with which he should conclude,. but he tc-. nienibered that no discussion upon it had taken plaCe during the pae.ent Parliament. and therefore he felt it riecessaty to investigate the different arguments which had heel', or might he used in opposition to his views lest om 'not doing so he might lose some of that sup port which he certainly thought he was entitled to re ceive; and as he Might he accused of presumption in taking upon himself to bring und-r discussion so im portant a subject, he would briefly state the reasons %hid) had inouced him to do so. The House would re member, that in the year 1818. at the instance of an honourable and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Sergeant Ottilew), whose labours upon the subject had entitled him to t gra:itude of his cornery e a Committee was appoinred to eerier into the effects of the Usury Laws. Out t a enry-une privets examined before the Committee; iighteets 'were of opinion that the. Usury Laws were not only inoperative, but injurious. Of the 'other three; taiocarne to conclusions in direct contra diction to the evidence; and the other one, Mr. Gurney, `who me his testimony against the repeal of the laws, had since changed, his opinioteend had authorised hies (Mr. P. Thomson) to state, that if he were now exa mined at the bar of the House, his evidence would be of a very diffeleit nature. The Report of the Cern miitee was decisive as to the mischievous nature of those' laws. 'the observation of the Earl of Liverpool was also of m deter! importance. In 1826 the Neblg bird, in his place in the H use of Lords, stated that ehe was aware that many obstacles existed in the way of abro. gating those laws ; but his opinion was, Vat at no very distant day their Lot dships must give their attention to, the subject. It was certainly.one of great difficulty, but he considered that the present state of the laws couldbe defended on no sound principles." Who, tt•en, could . say that laws which were made three or four hun dred years ago were applicable to the present state of society ? One of the greatest argurv.ents against the repeal of those laws was, that they prevented . prodi e gality, but this he did not consider to be the case: they only prevented the prodigal from raising mqtiey in such a way as to have. the advantage of dealing with persons who competed in the open market. They made, him pay for secrecy and illegality. The case of. Toward and Gibbs was a very.ntemorable one. It was notorious that they were in the habit of 'making 20,0001, or 25,0001. a year by lending to prodigals, And that a num. her of persons had been ruined by them, He. should next pass to another class of eases, to exemplify the injurious application of thiee laws. He would suppose the case of a man. who. endying, bequeathed to lel ;three sons 10,0001. each—to the first the amount aft houses ; co the second a similsr emouneen lteda., tn 4 to the third a like sum in tunnel. The first mighseegeley ask and receive any amount of interest. in the slispe..of rent" for his houses, that he pleased; the mood might do the same for his lauds ; but the third, if be took in the shape of intete t tor his money, one traction beyond .5001. per annum (or 5 per.cente he was liable. not merely to the loss of his whale capital, but three times its amount, which he must pay or end his life in gaol. The difficulty of raising money by landholders had teen extensively felt—in the time of war patriculaily, inso much that Mr. Phipps ('no bad authority) stated in his evidence, that during the war the term " mortgage" became obsolete. On the same subject, the evidence of Mr. Preston was at variance with his opinion ; his con. elusion was, that the lees ought not to be repealed, while his evidence ••ent to show that landholders net being able to raise money in the usual way, at the legal . rate of interest, were necessitated to do so by way pi annuity at 10, 15, nay 20 per cent. per annum. Thus, in borrowing money, it became necessary to evade the laws, and every evasion was expensive. The Hon. Member then went on to show that the imposition of restrictions upon the traffic in money had the effect of raising the rate of interest, and cited a case which oc e cur red in Li*onia, where the legal and the market rates of interest had been the same, six per cent. The legal rate was, howevet, reduced to five per cent. tee come. vence of which was, to raise the mat ic,t price of mono; to seven per cent. In this country case after case flight be cited of men being ruined by paying indirectly . More than the legal interest, one of which occurred in' IBltl to a Geneernan'asho was'possessed of propertyivorth 16,0001.. 'On hich he wanted to borrow 8,0004; but Could not obtain a :loan at five per cent.
