The intelligence from Corfu, contained in the"innexed ct of a letter, appears to be of a More impartial Teeter than the great majority of the accoutits which li ra ch us on the subject of the contest between the Greeks aid the Turks : 4 caant, MARCH la.' " His Majesty's ship the Naiad, Captain Spencer, ar rived here on Thursday last, from a cruise on the west and southern coasts of the Morea. Her news from Patras stias rather unfavourable. A few days since a btleairsaprovisions had been procured by the blockaded Tufka;purchased, as there is every reason to imagine, With annnOy supplied by a French frigate. This is sur .,,, from the circumstance of a vessel laden with pro . visions having entered the harbour, and again put to sea with her entire cargo, the Turks not having the means to purchase it. Shortly after a French frigate arrived, and having conferred with the besieged, de parttd, when another ship, likewise laden with stores, entered, and again put to sea, having discharged her freight, and received payment for the entire in specie: From this it may be supposed the garrison will now be enabled to hold out for some time longer. " A vessel has arrived this evening (18th) from Zante, and confirms the report of 5,00 Q Spptians having made a landing at Modon, and a few flays alterwirds, having proceeded to attack Navarina, were completely routed by a portion of the army proceeding to the siege of Patras, and forced to fly to their ships and put to sea. " It is confidently reported, that the most active pre. parations are going forward at Constantinople for the ensuing campaign. Ninety ships, including a power ful reinforcement from the Algerines, are in a state o f readiness. The latter are the most to be dreaded, from their intrepidity and naval skill; but there is little doubt that the Greek sailors, equally expert and in a state of feverish animation from their continued successes, will consign them to the fate of their predecessors. " The si hole of the Morea, with the exception of Patras, is now in a state of peace. Colocotroni, the brothers Velijani, Londo, Lech.i, and his son, and some others, twelve in all, who have surrendered themselves a- Napoli, are now prisoners at Hydra. N.ketas, with, Z 'inn and his son, ate still wandering about the islands, aecking a refuge. " The boa's of his Majesty's ships, the CAMBRIAN and SERINGAPATAM, have had a smart action ssi.h the p rates, off Negropont, in which three of the CAM BRIAN'S men and three of the SERINGAPATAM'S have been kilted, and upwards of 15 wounded. They have, however, succeeded in making 15 prisoners, who are now lodged in M Ita ; but nothing clec'sive can be proved against them as to piracy, as they merely re fused to shew their papers when demanded, and when attacked by his Majesty's boats, Returned the assault by a fire so deadly and well-Directed as to occasion the gni-chief which I have mentioned. The boats were decidedly no part of the Greek fl et." FROM THE CONSTITUTIONNEL OF APRIL 20. &SANTE MARCH 13. Ibrahim Paella, sailing at the end of Feb. nary with his whole fleet for, Candia, was overtaken by a tempest, which dispersed his vessels, so that only twenty reached Alexandrias: the majority wee driven o il ele coasts of Asia and Africa ;and thirty, carried by the winds - towards the Morca, landed 3,L00 - Egyp. ti tia on the coast of Modon and Coron ; but a corps of Peloponnesian troops, chiefly Arcadians, attacked th-em before they had time t , form; all petished in this ac tion ; the Turkish garrison of Coron and Modon, re fusing to admit the fugitives into the fortress, for fear of adding to the distress which begins to be felt there for wart of provisions. On the other hand, forty Grcek vessels arrived in time to cut off the Egyptian division from the sea, and to block it up in a bay between Modon and Neocastroa ConJurictti, the President, commands in person the troops besieging Patras : they are estimated at ten or tw.lve thousand men. A corps of Pelopcnnesians, destined for Eubtea, commenced their march in February. It is generally _thought that the fate of that important island will be soon decided. Co!ocotroni has been lately removed to the convent of St. Elias, on one of the steepest rocks of Hydra. The proceedings preparatory to his trial, and that of the otter rebels, are continued. 7.7 --- PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL 22. • 'Lord HOLLAND presented a Petition from an individual of the name of William Thorne, who complained of the manner in Which his name had been use d the printed Minutes of Evidence of the Committee on the State of Ireland, and prayed that their Lordships would allow him td be heard by Counsel at their liar to refute the unfounded and injurious stnements which had been made against his character.—Read, and ordered to be referred to the Committee on the State of Ireland. Dlr. &amount, Lord STA /MKT, and others, from the Commons, brought up several private Bills, which were read a first time. Lord HOLLAND presented a Petition from certain Protestant • Dissenters residing near the Town and Borough of IVarebani, in the County of Dorset, who were anxious to vindicate themselves front what they considered au aspersion thrown on the whole body of Dissenters, that they were inimical to the Catholic Claims. In deed, from what he knew of the Independents, he should have thought them the last persons in the country who would petition their Lordships to continue so severe a punishment as the restric tions to which the Catholics, and themselves to a certain extent, were subje:ted. The present Petitioners, he was glad to find, enter tained the feelings which he had always expected from them on this great question, and in which he heartily concurred. They were -r. very surly that any Petitlbns had been presented by Dissenters against the Catholic Claims, and trusted that the few Petitions of that kind would not be Considered as expressing the sentiments of she'great body or Dissenters, which they certainly did not. They prayed their Lordships to grant the Catholics the boon which they desired, and to remove from .them also (the Protestant Dissenters) tbe disabilities under which they still laboured.—The l'etition was ' • then read and laid on the table. Lord COMBERMERE presented a Petition against the Catho lic Claims from the Parish of Aldring, in the County of Chester.— Laid on the table. The Marquis of CAMDEN, in presenting a similar Petition from the Parish of Sandhurst and Newington, in the County of ..E.ent, stated that he did not concur in its prayer. He now thought that the restrictions on the Catholics ought to be continued no linger, and was sorry that he should have ever possessed a dif ferent opinion.—The Petition was then read, and laid on the table. • ;Petitions of a similar nature were presented :—By the Bishop of Lawn, from the Archdeacons and the Clergy of the Archdta modes of Essex, Middlesex St. Alban's, and from the Inhabitants of ebe Parish ofDeadhans, in the County of Essex ; by the Wallop cling. Davies, from two Parishes in the Counties of Cardigan and Poasbrolkii by the Bishop of Cuanza, from the Clergy of an Anlideassfary in his Diocese, and from the Inhabitants of Oldham- The latter bad boas signed in the short space of two days by 2174 inilyOuals ;by Lord Arany, from the Parishes of St. Giles, Wel lim,biemita, and Western Feral, in the County of Northampton. An tame Petitions were read, aud laid on the table. • :Leed 110bLA ND rose pursuant to his notice, to submit to their lordships fur a first reading, a Bib, entitled " An Act to prevent' Asenotbers foe certain Criniss front extending farther than to the Persso. Preposty,ind Titles of the Offenders themselves." It was nut a* "hl Wank* to eater into any arguments ea the law 'of forfeiture a" " ( blood. nor into the history of that law le th e lees"' . hot ladtsced him to propose the present Bid. 111111M...\, lib,.

He should then move the first reading of his Bin and that it be printed. He should not fix a day now for the second reading, but should take an early opportunity of giving notice of the time when he should do so, and when he would hove that their Lordships be summoned . — Th e Bill was theta read a first time, and ordered to be ;minted. The Threatening Letters Amendment Bill was read a third time, and passed-- " - tin nicrixday. - . HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. P. CORBETT moved the second reading of the Shrews bury Poor Bill. Mr. C. PELHA M moved as an amendment, that the gill be read a second chile this day six months. He also objected that a Standing Order of the House was infringed by the BILL The SPEAKER *aid, that perhaps it would be more convenient to dispose of the question named by the Honourable Member, re lative to the infringement of the Standing Orders before put ting the amendment. Aft* some conversation, in which Mr. N. Catvzai and Mr. C. PILLMAX took part, The SPEAKER expressed his opinion that one of the Standing Orders was violated by the introduction of a clause in the Bill, re lative to the settlement of the poor.—The Bill was then, by leave of the House, withdrawn. Mr. HART DA VIS moved the second reading of the Hants and Berks Canal Bin. Alderman BRIDGES moved that the Bill be read a second time this day six mouths. A discussion then ensued, in which Lord Lowvnza, Mr. F. PALM'S, Sir d. NZWPORT, Mr. BRXITT, Mr. PALMER, SerjeSOL °MAW, Alderman Woos, Alderman Marcum, Mr. DARRAS, and M. DIMIDAS, took part. The amendment was rejected without a division, and the Bill was read a second time, and committed. Lord STANLEY presented a Petition from Manchester, for a revision of the Corn Laws. ELECTIVE FRANCHISE IN IRELAND. Sir R. WILSON wished to know, what course the Honourable Member for Stafford meant to take wilt respect to the' measure iae had to propose, •relative to the 40s. Freeholds in Ireland? Mr. LITTLETON said, that a misunderstanding had gone forth respecting •the course he had in view. in consequence of this misunderstanding, several Gentle men who intended to oppose the Bill had left the House. He Wished to make a complete statement, certainly but in compliance with what appeared to be a general wish, he would merely move for leave to bring in his Bill, and pnstpone the discussion until next Fri.lay.— After some desultory remarks from different Members, the sub- Jett dropped. KATHAR:NeS DOCK. Mr. G TEN FELL then moved the third reading of the St. Ka tharine's Dock Bill. —.„- —.- After a few words from Mr. CALVSRT, the Bill was read a third time. •A discussion then arose, on a proposition of Mr.. Alderman Mimics, for adding a clause by way of rider, which was rejected, on the suggestion of the &cares that it was irregular.—The Bill was then passed. COURTS OF LAW. ------- - The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that before the Honourable and Learned Member for Peterborough proceeded with the motion of which he had given notice relAtive to the Courts of Law, he wished to ask him whether be had any objection to delay it for a short tin*? Mr. SCARLETT said, he had no objection to post pone his motion for a future day; and, if it wou'd suit the Right Hon. Gentleman, he would name Monday se'unight. The motion was postponed accortlingli. Mr. HUME presented a Petition from Montrose against the Attorniee License Duty. Ordered to be printed. Mr. HUME presented a Petition from certain Corn Merchants in Montrose, praying relief (torn the Corn Laws.—To be printed. Mr. HUME presented a Petition from the Seamen of Scar borough, denying certain charges made against them, and com plaining of the low rate of wages which their masters had allowed previous to the forming of their Union six months ago. They prayed to be beard by Counsel before the Committee upon the Combination Laws.—lieferred to the said Committee. Lord K SOMERSET Presented a Petition horn certain Wool len Manufacturers in the county of Gloucester, praying a revisioa of the Coin Laws.—Ordered to be printed. I . • • t I ""m!' sl 7' I . • into the quostido at this tithe. Vi'h*b the BM came to "be read a first time, its :baits would undergo a, full discussion. Mr. BANKES thought the matte to be of so alttrm ing nature. that the attention of the Rouse and the public could not be called to it too early. He would I waive any allusion to it at present, further than to :ar i l that the Bill, as stated by the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Littleton), was full of serious objections, and was, itki his opinion, one of the moss arbitrary measures that was ever brought before Parliament. Mr. G RATTAN entered his protest against the measure. Mr. Secretary PEEL acquiesced in the course pur sued by his Hon. Friend (Mr. Littleton). The role, formerly was, that Bills were brought in to see what they were, and then they were discussed at length. Many Bills had been thrown out at the second reading. He reserved to himself the fullest opportunity of discussing the merits of the Bill. Mr. CALCItAFT observed, that if ever a Bill was brought into Parliament, which requited a minute de tail from the person who introduced it. the present was that Bin. Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE ex pressed his decided hostility to the proposed Bill, and proceeded to argue 'that as the Ilon. Member for Armagh had, on a former ;night, made his support of the Catholic Relief Bill con ditional on the adoption of this measure, unless it were immediately taken into consideration, that Honourable Gentleman, who was not now in his place, could not possibly,according to his own declarations, vote for the third reading of the Bill read a mend time this day. Mr. CALCRAVT rose to order, and submitted whe ther it s as Parham: wary or delicate to refer thus point edly to the Speech of any Gentleman in his absence? There was here a general cry of" Chair, Chair," and Mr. SPEAKER. rose, observing, that in his opinion the regulati.m did not embrace the question, whe.her the Honourable Member was present or not, but merely as regarded what hid occurred on a former eveni"g, the presence or absence of the Memher being alt .gether a point of delicacy. There certainly was no doubt that it was disorderly to refer to the distinct terms employed during a preceding debate. Dr. PHILLIMORE thought the llonourabte M m ber for Staffordshire, (Mr. Littleton) hardly dealt with. He many had wish:d to expla4 his Bill in the fullest mann! r; and was only prevented doing so by cool tesy to others who were desirous of having the discussion postponed. Sir JOHN NEWPORT supported the notion, and could only co:r ider opposition to this Bill as .ntended to Impede the success of the other one, which had already been read a second time. Colonel WODEHOUSE took that opportunity of stating, that although he had hitherto uniformly op posed Catholic Emancipation, he now found that, con scientiously, he could no longer pursue the same course. Mr.. C. HUTCH' NSON strongly objected to the Bill, and should- vote against it. Mr: S. RICE expressed his approbation of the mea sure; but, for the satisfaction of the Howe and the country, would ask the Honourable Member for Staf fordshire two questions on the subject. First, whether it was confined to'the 40s. freeholders of Counties de riving under leases ? and. 2d, Whether it was to be conditional on the passing of the Catholic Relief Bill? Mr. LITTLETON replied in the affirmative to both questions. Mr. HUME opposed the measure, as contrary to the pthicipie which be always had and should advocate, of extending rather than narrowing the Elective Franchise. Lord A LTHORPE supported the Bill, as advan orikons to Ireland,and compatible with Ileform,the object of which was. to sender elections independent. Colonel TRENCH also supported the measure. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. It was read a first time, and ordered fur a second reading on Monday. ROMAN CATHOLICS. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE presented a Petition from a Parish in the county of Somerset against further con. ces,ions to the Roman Catholics. The Hont:urable Baronet said he was sorry that the Right Honourable Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs was absent from the H use, but he could not in j :stice to himself and those who thought with him upon this question, avoid taking the earliest opportunity of alluding to a part of the Right Honourable Gentleman's argum. nt in his speech of last night. In that speech, the Right Ho. nourable Gentleman thought proper to direct all th:' power of his forcible eloquence against those who thought it their duty to come forward arid state to the House their views and feelings on this important sub ject. The *h le body of these Petitioners were charged with ignorance in such a manner as must excite the most painful and cruel sensci ns. The Petition having been read, Sir T. LETH BR I DOE was about to allude further to what had fallen from the Right lion. Secretary for Foreign Affairs, when Sir J. NEWPORT rose to order. The SPEAKER said, that being appealed to, he was bound to state that any allusion to the debates of a former day was disord e tly. Sir T. I.F.TH RR DG II: said he should not persist, and the Pe tition was ordered to be printed. Mr. liA It ING presented a Petition . from certain Warren Farmers in the county ot‘Norfolk and Suffolk, against the Dill for preventiog the use of Spring Guns.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. CA LC It A presented a Petition from certain Protestant Dissenters of IVarehatn, praying that the disabilities of the Roman Catholics may be removed.—Ordered to be printed. IMPORTATION OF CORN. Mr. MASTER I'ON URE, in moving for certain return connected sr ith the Corn Trade, stated, that his object was to chew to what event the grain imported was paid for in the manufactures of this country. Some conversation as to the practice of moving for returns took place, in which the CHANCeLLOR of the EXCHEQUER. Sir M. W. RIDLEY. Mr. HUME, Mr. MA szautY, and Col. WoDguovas joined; after which the Hon. Gentleman consented to withdraw the motion for the present, Mr. BENET 1' presented a Petition from the School masters of Wiltshire, praying a repeal of the-Window Tax. Mr. BROUGHAM supported the Petition. He had known scho-ls which had been much impeded, owing to that tax. Air and light were absolutely necessary, and the tax on windows was therefore a great pressure. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER felt the force of the observations made to him by the School masters, and the subject should have the most serious attention. After a few words from Mr. Curies, Mr. 8i11E17 9 and Mr. C. Wu.sox, the Petition was laid on the table. IRISH'FORTY SHILLINGS TREMOLO/IRS RILL. Mr. LITTLE TON, in pursuance of the understand ing which had been come to this morning, begged to move for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the pre. sent state of the Elective Franchise in Ireland. He should reserve the details of his measure for the second reading of the Bill. But he might state. that he now thought £lO would be the most advisable amount to which the right of voting from Leasehold Tenures should belimited. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that in con.equence,of the understanding alluded to by the Hon. Member. a •ast number of Gait When had left the Houie. Whatever their opinions were, it would be inexpedient to enter r y~:... COMUITTRE OF SUPPLY. The CHANCELLOR of the MICH/Mika moved the Order of the Day fbr going into a Committee on the Spirit Duties Act. The House baying done so, The QUANCELLOIt of the EXCHEQUER ob served, he had already stated the necessity of putting the law in England on this subject on the same footing as in Scotland and Ireland. The general principle on which he went was to assimilate the law in all parts of the United K;ngdom. He should, therefore, state ge nerally the regulations for the trade which he intended to propose. First, with respect to the qualification of distillers. The qualification I e should suggest was, that they should be persons residing in h .uses paying rates to the amount of 201. per annum. The next was, that they should live within a quarter of a mile of a market town containing 500 inhabited house. These re gulations were hot, however, to extend to distillers al ready licensed. As to the size of the stills, he proposed it should be reduced from 3000 gallons to 400 gallons— the former size. Ile should net, however, go I'm titer through the details. The duty here was now ten shil- . lings per gaaon, at 79 above proof, and he proposed to reduce the duty to ss. 10J. per gallon at proof.— Next year a new standard of weights and measures would be iirtroduted, differing materially from,that now exis ing, and the gallon then to be in use, and called the imperial gallon, being larger than' that at present, the duty of sr. 10d. would, on the imperial gallon, be equal to seven shillings. Having mentioned these ge neral facts, ke should content himself with moving a series of Resolutions, which it would be his object to embody sub equently in a Bill. The first Resolution was then read. Sir JOHN NEWPORT concurred in the measure proposed by the Right Honourable Gentlentan. Mr. W. SMITH objected to the Resolutions, as cal cula-ed to deluge England with Irish Spirits, and de moralize as well as injure the health of the people.--It bad been proved before the Police Committee of 1817, that almost all the crimes of an aggravated nature committed in this Metropolis, were committed under the influence of ardent spirits. What then could be the pol cy of a measure like this for lowering the - pricel of spirits, so that every artisan and day-labourer could afford to get drunk out of his daily wages? Whatever might be the case, however, it was a satisfaction to him to know that he had delivered his own soul. Mr. HUME thought the objections of his Honour able Friend to this measure, out of regard for the mo rals of the people of England, were very futile and unnecessary. He confessed, however, it would give him satisfaction to see the duty on malt lowered, which he thought would make as good a return to the reve nue, and would provide a more wholesome beverage for the people of England. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that he would not anticipate the evil consequences foretold by the Hon. Member for Norwich (Mr. W. Smith), from the measure for lowering the price of spirits. Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON applauded the measure of the Right Hon. Gentleman. He should be also glad to see him encourage the breweries of Ireland, as far as he could do so consistent with his public duty. Captain GORDON coaeurred in the policy of the measure as far as it was likely to affect Scotland. After a few words triton General Haze the Resolutions were put and carded. The House reeeseei, awl the Report was ordered to be received on Monday. On the mode's of the Osautetuas of the glettactua l the Homo resolved isesW late a Cemasitase et Supply. The CH ANCELtok of the EXCHEQUER saik that in moving for a vote of money t o the amount ot fbr the purchase of the coins and tbannsciipit of the late Mr. Rich, he. should not trouble the Route with any observation. The bommittee had mode sti ample a Report upon the stibject, thin it was 'juke tin: necessary for him to say 'lore th an that he believed the steps which that House had lately taken for the prdt motion of the Arts and Sciences, met with theunqua: lified approbation of the Country. After a few words from Mr. Dams, Mr. Rusts, and • Sir C Loco, the Resolutions were then agreed .to.—Repott oa Monday:. DISONTERS ' &1111AbliS. On the motion of Mr. W. Same, the House resloPted itself intii Committee fur the recommitment of the Dissenters' Marriage; in Some additional clauses were brosght up and added to the in ordered to be re-yrinted.• which was , _ _ The Report was forthwith received, and ordered for further con: sideration on Monday next.

They contain an account a some signal . successes obtained over the But mese, who have been defeated in sever al encounters, with great loss. The most confident expectations are entertained of the speedy termination of the war. Letters from Bombay, of the 15th of December, announce the capture by the Englidr, of tte Fort of Kittoor, a strong place, with a small adjoining terri tory, in the Province of Bejapoor, and that they found in it a treasure amounting to 13 lees of rupees, and five Lacs of jewels. This fort, with the territory de pendent on it, was held by a Dessaye, a Sovereign Prince of the lowest rank; but at his death, without . heirs, it devolved on the East India Company ; and it was in an attempt to establigh their claim, that 'Mr. TIIACKERAY, of the Civil. Service, lost his life. .Mr. STEPHENSON and Mr. ELLIOTT, who Were detained ih this fort, have both been found there; and, of course, have gained their liberation by the event. • . A letter was received this morning at Lloyd's, from their Agent at Milford, dated 21bt April, whiCh stltes the arrival, at the Quarantine Station at that port, of the Cadmus, SNOWDEN, and Latona, eAmmoi, from Alexandria, for Liverpool, with suspected bills of health, in consequence of two cases of plague having occurred at Alexandria, on the 27th February. This circum. stance, as well as the general importance of the subject, will we trust induce Parliament to appoint a Comm.ttee to make further enquiry before altering the Quarantine Laws. Perhaps, as a certain degree of heat is requisite to superinduce the plague, and there ii no danger of it lin a climate like our's,for at least half the year, the Qua rantine Laws might be relaxed during the winter months with safety ; but at all events we should recommend further enquiry into the subject. This forenoon we received Hamburgh Papers to the 15th, and Dutch and Brussels Papers to the 20th inst. They state that the Ministry of .Popular Instruction, and that of the Interior, in Russia, have lately re. ceived more rigorous instructions, relatiVe to the inspec tion of writings and books in foreign language!, brought from abroad. The Committee for the regulation of the commerce between Sweden and Norway, has had several meetings, and it is conjectured that the guarding of the frontiers towards Norway, which is so extremely expensive, will'be in a great measure done away with, and that a considerable change will be made in their prohibitory system, respecting the importation of foreign goods. The King of Sweriam has issued orders for a camp to be formed in the course of the summer, In the province of Droatheim, tinder the command of MajorGen.Btacn. Two ships of war were launched at Amsterdam on the 19th inst. the Kortenaar, of 80 guns, and a corvette. The Dutch Papers state, that the lands in the Polders of Leuven and Broeh, and Van aliens, above 1,900 acres, are still nearly eight 'palms under water, so that it is still impossible to cultivate them. This forenoon we reed Lisbois Gazettes to the Sd instant. They are chiefly filled with English, French, and other articles of inteligence. One of tie Gisettm contains a Royal Decree, for facilitating the means of obtaining a correct knowledge of the actual mount of the Public Debt, and to prevent unnecessary delay in the payments to be made by the Treasury. Ano ther Gazette contains an Alvara, for erecting a Branch l of the Bank at Oporto, under the direction of the Dia Irect ors of the Bank of Lisboa. / Frankfort Papers to the 17th inst. reached us this forenoon. They state, on the authority of the Oriental Spectator of Smyrna, that five vessels with Sciote emi grants had returned to their native island, but had been menaced by the Gagliangis, whom - the PACHA re buked. The same Journal labours hard to prove that the yoke of Turkey is easy, and its burden light to the Greeks.
