The war against Persia was no sooner commenced than it was terminated, thanks to the vigorous measure , adopted by General Paskewitsch. The Emperor, in testimony of his satisfaction with the result, has made kin] a present of one million of rubles. He has also d:stributed favours to the army. The preparations made by the army of Count WITT GENSTEIN, give countenance to the idea that the cam paign against Turkey will be soon commenced. Many of the Armenian exiles have come to take re fuse here, an4j have received a hearty welcome, and all tic inhabitants have taken an interest in their distress, combined with hatred against the Turks. It is hoped that all the Christians who reside in the provinces of Asiatic Turkey will not remain longer under a Government, which has been guilty of such enormities. GREECE. The new Provisional Government of Greece was in stalled At Egina on the 7th February. Before ten o'clock all was ready for this general fete. The road from the Resident's house to the church was strewed with dive branches. The President was followed by all tl.e Ge nerals and superior Officers, and by a number of Officers belonging to the English and Russian ships in the port. At.er the prayer was finished for the three Princes, Protectors of Greece, twenty-one discharges of cannon were fired from the town, and the Engish and Russian shipping in the port fired nineteen guns, and hoisted the Greek flag.. They write from .Toulon, 31st March, that the brig Liz trd, belonging to his Majesty, is to sail this day with a mission for Tunis. From theCiazette of Lyons. 31stMarch.—Although it was reported that the expedition to the Morea was coup. 'remanded, there still arrives here every day fresh troops and a number of employees. We also expect artillery and cavalry; the regiments of the line which ale to complete the expedition will only arrive at the last moment. Eight hundred men are going to em bark, to keep garrison at Carabusa.—The preparations for sea we also considerable. On account of the solemnity attendant on Easter, csnly one of the Paris Papas, the Cowie,* Francais, was published on Monday. It is almost entirely filled with a report ef the Judgement of the Cour Royale, on the subject of the tumult at Paris in November last, which, in substance, acquits all the accused Gens ii'Armes, and orders their immediate liberation. We received this forenoon the Algemeine Zeilung to e 4th April. According to an article from Bucharest, the Emperor NICHOLAS was expected to join the army on the l'iuth on the 20th inst. From Smyrna it is stated, that the Divan, in assuming a more peaceful attitude, were about to dispatch the Capitan PAcuA for Vie purpose of treating with the three Allied Admirals• The following are extracts: BUCHAREST, MARcu 17. Accounts from Constantinople of Much 4th, bring tr, no new s of importance. On the Russian frontier every thing is quiet; but letters from Jassy say, that the Emperor Nicholas was expected in his army cn the Bth 1 ,20 th of April.) SMYRNA, Fin. V. A report is current here that the Divan will accede to the Treaty of London. It is said that the intelligent old Caphan Pacha, who is personally known to the AdmirAls of the three Allied Powers, will go himself to the Mediterranean to negotiate with them. CORFU, Maui' lit. It Was in consequence of an arrangement made with Count Cap d'lstria, that an allied squadron sailed, as we base already heard, under Sir Thomas Staines, saga:nst Carabusa, and demanded the delivery of the pirate seises and the most notorious Chiefs. The Council at Carabusa refused to give up the six chief Pirates, but were compelled by tilt measures of Sir T. Staines, who cut off all communication with the Island ( of Candia, and the fort was occupied by one hundred English and French marines, and sixty of the new Greek troops. The six pirate Chiefs, Papa Malinianos P 441 6% P4pa Guegorio Danelachi, Panajotti Panago Cal lizurchi, Giacomachi Scandalis, Giom Dertacbes, end tholgio Suppi, were taken is disguise, and are to be taken to Malta to be tried. The fat of Carabusa war given up to the new Greek Government, on con- dition that the persons notorious for piracy should be given up, and that the stolen property that is found restored to the owners, and the old garrison changed for new troops. All the pirate vessels were de►troyed. LEGHORN, MARCH lb. Col. Fabvier has addre.,sed a report to Count Capo d'lstria, informing him that a terrible storm had obliged the Greek ships to lrave their station off Selo, and that the Turks took advantage of this opportunity to throw 1.500 men into the fort, who, in corjonction with the garrison, had made a sally, taken the batteries defended by the Sciots, and spiked the guns. Order was, however , soon restored by Ct.lonel Fahvier, who came up with the regular troops, and drove the Turks back into the fort, with the loss of many killed and wounded. When the storm abated the Greek ships resumed their stations off the harbour. Maas has driven back the Turkish squadron from Mitylene to the Dardanelles. On his way back to Scio he captured a merchantman, with provisions and ammunition for the Turks. Vienna, March '29.—Metalliques, 88 11-16.—Bank Shares, 1816. Zeilung, April 3. BRUNSWICK. MARCH 17.

BAII.c '..L"NA, MAUCH 22.—Several ships of war and transpurt.,which sailed from the Havannah with troops, have arrived at Porto Lilco; and their object is to induce the submission of the Colombians. A naval armament is now going forward at [Lice -1 ma; and though the destination of the vessels is not distinctly known, people likely to be well informed think they are to accom pany the transports which are about to sail with troops for the Havanna& Letters from Sydney, New South Wales, to the 14th of November, and from Hobart's Town, Van Diemen's Land, to the 20th of October, have been received.— There was great commercial distress at both ports, and several failures had occurred. Lady Hasurroan (the wife of the present Vlarc24), hat present dangerously ill at Paris, having had a paralytic stroke. The worst apprehensions are entertained as to the Marchioness's fate. Hi, Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex honoured the French performances, at the English Opera-house, with his presence last night. Mr. MuNDEN has been confined to his bed for nearly six months.

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING. Newm• RIM, WEDNZSDA Ir, APRIL 9. Lord Grosvenor 's Navarin has made an advance of about two points for the Derby, and still more for the Great St. Leger, it consequence of the excellent running of Mz.nteluke for the Oat. lands. It should be stated, however, that both the horses are in the same stable, slid that Navatin is stated to have beat the other in a trial a short time since. The Colonel was also in request, 7to 1 having many takers. The Duke of Rutland's Sorcery colt was backed at 9to 1, and these were the only others in demand. The odds against Navarin were 9 to 2 for the Derby, and 20 to 1 for the St. Leger—both taken. The bad running of the Duke of Graftor.'s horses has sent them quite to the outside. Lord Sefton had a grand dinner party last night, at which were present the Marquis and Marchioness of Tavi.tock, Lord Jersey, Lord Southampton, Lord Anson, Sir J. Shelley, the Hon. Colonel Anson, General Grosvenor, and many other fashionables. The Duke of Rutland had a select party at the Palace. At the Rooms were the Lhike of Richmond, Lords Lowther, Brudenell, Orford, G. 11.

MASQUERADE AT THE ARGYLL ROOMS. A Alasquera.le, or, as we might with more propriety call it, a grand Carnival, was given at the Argyll Rooms, last night, to all those who, in these festive times, were disposed to be merry under a mask, or n hes were not unwilling to sacrifice their virtue, if they could con trive to save their reputation. The rooms, illuminated and ornamented for the occasion, were opened soon after ten o'clock, but although several well-dressed masts imme diately exhibited their persons, little was done or said for the following two hours, beyond per mbulation s throuLh the room, and ci it icisms on the peculiarities of the re , pec Live costumes of the masque's. When, however, that hour approached in which Bacchus maintains the plenitude of his power, the scene became at once inlet citing and lively. Groups of masques, apparently " reeling ripe for fun," disported themselves in ail the exuberant extrava gancies which a Carnival not only tolerates, but enjoins : and those who had qualified themselves for the enjoy ment of practkal jests and bro id humour, by libation, of Wright's champagne, were at once gratified to their hearts' content. Dancing and coquetting, kicking and capering, jesting and quarrelling, laughing and corn plaining—every one seemed to be busy, and no cne occupied, while those who were at other times, " - Too wine the fool, too dull the knave to prove, " Too cold for friendship, too discreet for love," laid aside al their distinguishing features, and joined with as much spirit in the revels as the most ardent and most anxious of their associates. Of the characters atterripted to be supported,all were dressed to the life,and there was no want of variety ; but Paul Pry was only remarkable for the quantity of stuffing in his breeches ; Richard for his boisterous commands ; Witches for the use they made of their crooked sticks; Clowns for the sameness of their folly, and Gipsies for their total norance of palmistry. With the exception of the walk jog Gentlemen and Ladies, who played up to the top of their bent, one of the best groups in the room was a party of drunken soldiers recruiting for his Majesty.— They were indeed most happy in their actions and ex• pressions, to the very great annoyance of every mask in the room. A quadrille by several chimney-sweepers, tripped it "on the light fantastic toe" with as much elegance as if they had received instructions from d*Egville on the same boards. Two or three handsome females looked vrery• well in the dress of sailors, and some men represented the other sex with considerable address; but instances of this kind were rare. In ad dition to the masques, crowds of young men of fashion, unmasked, were :o be seen in every room, and bore the raillery with which they were assailed with very good humour, and the company, generally, particularly the fernale portion of it, was the most numerous, and the most select we have seen for some time. The wines were good—the supper good, and the Champagne— but of that we need not speak—for it is always highly deserving of approbation. Under the influence of those united attractions, the festivals were prolonged until a Late hour of the snotniog with the most perfect good humour and hilarity.

Advices from Alexandria (Egypt) were received yes terday to the 21th of February. The English residents were rather alarmed at the determined manner in which the PACHA sent reinforcements to the Morea (as the re port of the late expeditition being boOnd for Candia Was generally discredited), and also the frequent intercourse by expresses with Constantinople; they began to fear the PACHA would actively support the SULTAN in C,{lle • of hostilities. About twenty sail of merchant vessels. had been sent off with provisions for Malta. The cot ton crop is reported to have, in a great measure, failed. Yesterday a young man, having the appearance of a ' ladies' shoemaker, descended the area of the Marquis of St.too. in Mansfield-street, Portland-place, under pre tence of selling some sh, es to the female servants, and stole two' valuable salt cellars and spoons. • It appears from the concurrent testimony of all pre ceding navigators, as well as the late Russian navigator Kotzebue, who explored the Pacific Ocean recently in rations directions, that a constant formation of new islands is going on in the great Pacific Ocean, through the combined efforts of volcanic agency, and the pro duction of cowl reefs of rocks.
