Copy of the Answer of his Royal Highness the Prinee Leopold of Saxe-Coburg to the joint Note of the Plenipotentiaries, of the 3d of Feb. LB3O, dated Claremont, Feb. 11, 1830. The undersigned received on the 4th of Feb. the letter which the Plenipotentiaries of the Three Courts, who signed the treaty of the 6th of July, 1827, did him the honour to write to him, and by which, in virtue of the protocol of the 3d of Feb. 1830, they offer to him, in the name of the High Allied Powers, the hereditary sovereignty of Greece. The undersigned Is profoundly sensible bow flattering to him is the honour which the Allied Powers are pleased to do him, in choosing him to carry into execution their generous intentions with regard to the new Greek state. He hastens to accept the useful and honourable career which the High Powers have opened to him. Nevertheless, ha conceives, that be would ill return the cenbilenew which they are pleased to place in him, were he not, in giving his adhesion to the protocols Nos. 1,2, and 3, of the 3d of February, 1830, to submit to them the following observations : 1. That the Allied Powers who signed the treaty of the 6th of Joly, 1827, may be graciously pleased to grant to the new Greek state a complete guarantee, as well as the promise of succour in case of foreign aggression. 2. That the Greek inhabitants of the islands of !Canada and Sa mos, who arc to be restored to the Porte, may have their civil and religious position fixed and ameliorated in such a manner by the in tercession of the High Powers, as well as by a liberal application of the treaty of the 6th of July, that they may be secure from all vexa tion, and protected against all acts calculated to lead to an effusion ' of blood. On this subject, which is purely in the interests of hu manity, the undersigned still reserves to himself fuller communica tions with the Plenipontiaries of the august Sovereigns. 3. That it may be agreeable to the High Powers, that the new frontier to the west should be fixed in such a manner as to continue to ascend the left bank of the river Aspropotamos, as far as the li mits laid down to the north as those of the canton of Vloclios, fol. lowing from thence towards the east the natural boundary formed by the mountains which joie Mount (Eta--a frontier indispensable for the security of this important portion of the new state. 4. That the High Powers may be pleased to assure to the new Greek state, until its own resources may have recovered their vi. gour, pecuniary succours proportioned to its wants ; since it is no. torious that the Provisional Government has only been able to exist up to the present time by means of the subsidies which have been furnished to it by the generosity of the High Powers. 5. That the said Powers may be pleased to grant an aid of troops to the new Sovereign of Greece, until such time as he shall have been able to organise those which will be necessary for him. That they may be pleased to agree with him as to the number of those troops, as well as with regard to the time which they shall remain at has disposal, and to allow him some latitude, s hould he see him self under the necessity of keeping them beyond the appointed time. The undersigned takes this occasion to offer to the Plenipoten tiaries of the High Powers the expression of his most distinguished consideration. (Signed) LEOPOLD, P.S.C.G. Copy of the Answer of the Provisional Government of Greece to the Note of the Residents of the three Courts, dated Napoli, April 4 (16), 1830. The Provisional Government of Greece haw received the official Dote dated the Bth of April, which the residents of the Allied Courts have done it the honour to address to it. It has meditated with deep attention upon the act of the 3d of February, as well as upon the explanatory observations with which the residents have aecompanied their communication of it. Deeply impressed with a sense of its duties, and with the sincerest desire to discharge them in such a manner as to justify both the confidence of its countrymen, and that with which the august Allied Sovereigns are pkased to honour it, the government has endeavoured to appre ciate the great and generous design of the august founders of the new Greek State; and in the second place, it has sought how it might be able to take its share in accomplishing it, by conforming (as is required of it) to the act of the conference of London, and to the special resolutions which the residents have brought to its knowledge. In declaring that Greece shall form an independent State, the Allied Powers have filled the measure of her legitimate wishes, and of the numerous benefits which they have deigned to shed upon her. Considerations of high political interest have doubtless influenced them in placing her destinies under the safeguard of a monarchical and hereditary Government, and in fixing their choice upon a Prince who might become the organ of their generous intentions with respect to Greece, and thus give a pledge for the stability of the work of peace, of which the act of the 3d of February has laid the foundations. This immense task is henceforward intrusted to Prince Leopold Cobourg, and his Royal Highness, in accepting it, has given a proof to the ci vilised world, that Greece also would find in the eminent qualifications which distinguish him, and the noble sentiments by which he is characterized, a pledge of ? that futurity which is already assured to her by the rights which she has acquired at the cost of her long misfortunes and of her sacrifices of blood, and by the in stitntions which her representatives have, in principle, adopted, and by which alone the enjoyment of that futurity can be guaranteed to her. Considered in this general point of view, the lot which the august allied sovereigns, in their wisdom and their benevolence, destine for Greece, imposes everlastingly upon her the duty of unlimited gra titude and confidence. In proportion, however, to the earnest desire of the Government to be the faithful interpreter of these sentiments, is the sincere regret which it feels at its inability to acquit itself of this honourable mis sion in the forms prescribed to it by the acts of the last National Congress. The residents of the three Courts were present at Argos dining the session of the month of August, and the first decree of the as. sembly must without doubt have attracted their attention. They cannot, then, be unaware that the definitive arrangements which are now in question ought to be previously submitted to the deputies plenipotentiaries of the nation, and to be ratified by them. The first step, therefore, hich the Government ought to take, would be to assemble them at the present moment; nor would it have hesitated to comply with this regulation, if some of the articles of the Act of 3rd Feb. and the tenour of the note of the residents, were not calculated to subject the deputies plenipotentiaries of the nation to the painful alternative, either of disregarding the instruc tions which they have received from the provinces, or of confining themselves to once more declaring respectfully the wishes which they cannot but form, that the magnanimous intentions of the Allied Courts may at length be realized. The orders however with which the residents are furnished ad mitting only of the strict execution of the arrangements agreed upon no other course remains for the Government of Greece than to de clare to the residents, after having collected the opinion of the Se nate- 1. That the official notification of the armistice which exists de facto, is contained in the circular of which the enclosed is a copy, which the Government addresses to the commanders of its forces by land and by sea. 2. That the evacuation by the Greek troops and squadrons, of all the countries, places, and islands which, according to the act of the 3d of February, are not to form part of Greece, is a measure in which it will be the duty of the Greek Government to concur, se soon as the Turks shall retire from Attica and Rubes. It is moreover of urgent importance that the commissaries of the three powers should, by their presence on the spot, prevent, or at least mitigate, the unfortunate consequences which will probably result from the establishment of the new line of boundary ; and that the Government should be enabled to assure the means of subsist ence and a suitable lot to those numerous families who will come to seek a home in the new state. 3. That the Alussulmans who are at present in Greece enjoy not only perfect security of person, but also a portion of the which, upon their application, the government had readira er u d sel to be restored to them. With respect to the provisions, in general, of the acts of the con ference of London, and to the special decisions mentioned in the note of the residents, the government reserves to itself to place be fore the sovereign prince of Greece, together with a copy of the pre sent note, those observations of which it could not leave him igno rant, without betraying its duty towards Greece and towards his roj al highness himself. His royal highness is the depositary of the entire confidence of the allied courts. They will not then refuse to entertain with fa vour the steps which his royal highness may take in favour of a country, the welfare of which he is called upon to work out under the auspices of a durable and solid peace. The Provisional Government of Greece avails itself of this oppor. tunity of offering to the residents of the three Allied Courts, accre dited to it, the assurance of its high consideration. The President, (Signed) J. A. CAPO DISTRIAS. The Secretary for Foreign Affaires and Navigation, (Signed) J. RIZO. Circular addressed by the Provisional Government of Greece to the Commanders of the Land and Sea torus. The which we have successively received from you, show that hosts stie s between the Mussulmans and the Greeks have entirely ceased since last autumn, and that the Turkish commanders have given evidences of the confidence with which you inspire them. You have received orders to hold friendly relations with them ; and the manner in which you have hitherto discharged this duty affords a guarantee that you will fulfil with scrupulous exactness the mare liaise instructions which we now transmit to you. The allied Courts have resolved that the Greek Government and the Porte shall publish officially the armistice which exists deJacto. On our part we conform to this decision, by directing you not only to maintain the existing armistice, but to consider any infraction of it by the troops under your command as an offcnce punishable ac cording to the rigour of the law. The relations of peace and good neighbourhood with the Turks being once established, you are enjoined to cultivate them, without, i however, suffering any violation of the sanatory regulations.

Yesterday we received the Gazette de France, dated Monday, and the other Paris journals of Sunday. Their contents consist almost exclusively of comments on the new appointments, and speculations on further changes in the composition of the Ministry. The following are extracts : " The whole attention of the Ministry is now directed towards the fall of the funds, which is the more alarming, as it has been progressive, and not sudden, as in a panic. " This fall of the funds is a source of great anxiety for the cour tiers, because, first of all, since the indemnity of the emigrants, the greatest part of them have beconie speculators, and prefer al then the rise of a franc to the triumph of a good doctrine • anu also because certain people of the Tuillelles have preserved the English custom of judging all according to the thermometer of the public funds ; so that they appreciate the credit of the Ministers by the prices of the Exchange. " The great object is therefore to stop the fall of the funds, and money will now save France. " It is certain, that all the bankers, and especially the one who has the moat frequent relations with Government, express them. selves very openly on the uncertainty of the public credit. " We cannot answer for any thing,' say they,' on the very first violent measure, and the men you choose are calculated to depre elate our funds, without it being in our power to determine when the fall will atop. A fall of ten francs must be the inevitable conse quence of any extra legal measure, and a fall of ten francs would ruin all the bankers of Europe.' " These observations have been for the Ministers a matter of serious reflection. An assembly of the syndicate of the Receivers. General is spoken of, in order to prevent the fall of the funds by l some extraordinary measures. " The Government is determined to stop the fall at any rate whatsoever; but we shall repeat again, that though It has nume roue means of preventing a fictitious crisis, it can do nothing against a fall that is founded on reason, and grounded on the situa don of affairs and on public opinion. " The nomination of M. de Peyronnet caused a fall of if. 20c. ; that of M. Dudon to the Privy Council, 80 centimes. What will it be when his nomination to the Ministry of the Finances shall be confirmed. " The changes which have already taken place in the ministry, make those that follow very probable, and which arc spoken of in certain quarters as a measure which la to be signed in ti :c council of to.morrow : " M. de Montbel to be replaced by M. Dudon, at the Finances ; Count Coutard to take the place of Al. de Boorman'; M. Ferdi nand de Bertbier ' of AI. de Chabrol ; 111. Berryer to be named Di rector-Oeneral of the Forests ; and 111. de Vltrolles, Director-Gene. ral of the Cora) ibtaioowindirecies, in the place of /11. Bacot de Romans. " General Donnadieu arrived in Paris yesterday. It is said that he had come to ask for the portfolio of the War department, and that his rivals were the Generals Canuel and Despinois, without reck oning General Coutard, who seems to have obtained the preference. On the other hand, a general direction of the Lottery is spoken of in favour of M. de Bourrienne. These rumours are not altogether improbable, and if they are realized, we shall have an administra tion the most homogeneous that could be established, at least ac cording to one sense of the word. "we do not think it quite unlikely that some new conspiracy has been invented, in order to divert the public attention, together with the expedition against Algiers, from the ministerial changes and the electoral operations. It is asserted that the military police has denounced to the Minister of the Interior a carrier, who was going from Chenerieres to Lyons with a considerable quantity of tri-coloured cockades, packed up in bandboxes. Al. de Peyton net begins very fortunately.—Courrier Francois. " The Conatihelimemel of this morning has the following : Al. Dudon is as yet only a minister of State, but ere long he will be in the enjoyment of a portfolio. Besides, it is certain that hi. de Alontbel has accepted the Finance only to remove an obstacle to combinations formed without his concurrence, and in obedience to the command of an exalted personage. It is confidently believed that M. de Alontbel has firmly resolved to retire, and wait the re turn of AI. de Villele to power.' "The Minister of the Interior has just addressed the following circular to the Prefects of the departments : " Paris, May 20. "Sir,—The King has deigned to intrust to me the direction of the department of the interior. lam aware of the difficulties of this important branch of the administration, but the experience of the magistrates who belong to it affords me ground to hope that I shah overcome them. I only require of them the execution of the laws in a prompt, punctual, full, and loyal manner; eves to do what the law commands; to do seasonably what it permits; never to do what it forbids; this, in my opinion, is the duty of a wise and able magistrate. Another duty falls to my lot: it will be incumbent upon me to second them as they will have seconded me, and to see that due and full justice be rendered to their loyalty and seal. This will be my unremitting aim; and I flatter myself that none of them will question my being faithful to this promise. " ' Believe me, Sir, &c. " ' The Minister Secretary of State for the Department of the Interior, " DE PEYBONNET.' " The Morita" of this morning contradicts a report of the Pre. sident of the Electoral Colleges being appointed. It adds, that fa bricated circular letters have been sent to several respectable indivi duals, announcing their appointment—a mane uvre intended to deceive the public, by ascribing to the administration acts which do not proceed from it. " The following is from the National of this morning The ministers of the great courts, resident at Paris, are engaged in pre paring protocols to determine the bases of future arrangements, in anticipation of the success of the expedition against Africa. The impulse seems to have been given by the arrival at Paris of Count Mastuchewita, who is on his way to London in the character of Russian Charg4 d'Affsirea. This diplomatist was the hearer of the instructions of the cabinet of St. Petersburgh to Count Pomo di Borgo as to its sentiments on this enterprise, which not only meets with its approbation, but will bare its support in the negotiations that are to ensue. On the arrival of Count Alastuchewits, all the Ministers of the great Powers met in confidence at the Russian Am. bassadoes. The Minister of the King of Naples was admitted, and confirmed the report that the entailments making in the reportage the kingdom of the Two Sicilia; were intended to bebop, ate with the expedition. After this meeting, the Ministers in question dined with the gßritiall Ambassador, and in the ermine went to bold awake IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-Tuv,DA v. Sir A. GIANT, Sir T. FRILIIIANTLE, 71niotierilerribers from the Commons, brought up the Quebec Bill, and several private bAs. The second reading of the Suits in Equity Bill was postponed. The Earl of HA HEWOOD presented a petition from Dewsbury, praying for removal of the Assizes for York, to W a k e fi e ld. The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition from Chelmsford, against negro slavery. The Marquis of CLEVELAND presented a petition from Saudi Shields, against the duties on coals. HIS MAJ EST Y'S MESSAGE. The Order of the Day for taking itito consideration his Alajcsty':. Message having been moved, the Message was rcad again to the House. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that it was now his duty, hi consequence of the notice given by the noble Duke, and to eon formity with the Message just read, shortly to state to their Lord. ships the nature and motives of the measure which his lilaj uty's ministers thought it their duty to propose, in order to give erect to the object of the Message. He deeply lamented the occasion selfish rendered such a measure necessary ; and in expressing this feeling, he should carry with him the sympathy of their lordships, as he knew he should carry with him the sympathy of every individual in the country. He was aware of the difficulties which pre., nt. themselves to the adoption of any adequate measure to provide ft.: an emergency like the present ; but it was indispensably necessa:y that some measure should be resorted to, and it was therefore t! :,sit duty to apply themselves to devise such means as were adared the occasion, and, at the same time, to take care that those ni l a 7., should not be such as could produce detriment to the public at -vie.. He felt deeply the importance of the suggestion of a noble 1 . .91 (Earl Grey), that it was not enough for them to guard against dan. ger with reference to the present men and the present timee, that it was also their imperious duty to consider the consequences of any measure that might be proposed as a precedent for the guidance of other men and other times. In case of the inability of the Sae e reign to affix his Sign Manual to the instruments which required the Royal signature, two modes of supplying this deficiency natu rally presented themselves. The one was to authorise some person or persons to affix the Sign Manual in the prt genet of his Majesty, and by his consent. Another was to authorise some person or per sons to stamp the instruments by the authority of his llajesty, and in his presence, with a stamp to be prepared for that purpose. With respect to the latter of these two modes, he found that it had actually been resorted to at various pe riods of our history. This important fact he had been enabled to authenticate by means of various public documents now in existence. The first of these was a patent of Henry the Eighth, which was now In ex. istence in the British Museum. By this patent henry the Eighth gave power to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, and the Lords of the Privy Council, or any six of them, to stamp with the impress of the royal signature documents necessary to the levy of certain monies therein mentioned. This easediffered from the present only inasmuch as the expedient was then resorted to, not from necessity but convenience. During the same reign there were may other instances of the royal signature having been affixed by means of a stamp to public instruments, for the levy of troops and other purposes. He had found eight or ten cases of this dean!). tion,and the documents so stamped were now in the British Museum. In the reign of Henry the Sixth there were two instances of the same kind. In one of them, the instrument upon which the Sign Manuelr was so impressed was for the purpose of raising troops in the nonli, and in the other the purpose was to raise troops in the esatern count ties, then in a state of rebellion. The latter of these documents had the signature of the Lord Protector Somerset. In the reign ot Queen Mary, the proclamation which was issued in consequence ot the rebellion of Sir Thomas Wyatt was signed in the same manner. Again, In the reign of King William, and nearly at the last hour of his life, the same mode was adopted of affixing the royal signature to the commission for giving his Majesty's assent to two most important bills, one of which was the bill for Securing the Pro testant Successi on, and the other was the Malt Duty BilL Restated fact upon the authority of Kennett, a contemporary historian, the best authority to which, in the circumstances of the case, he could refer. He had not, indeed, at first been satisfied by this authority, but un der its guidance he had caused a search to be made in the Parliament Office. The original documents were not found, however, for the commissions of that date were not preserved. But the veracity of the historian be bad quoted had never been questioned, and he thought it might safely be relied on, in the absence of higher authority.— He was aware that in the la cer part of the reign of Henry VIII. the Bill of Attainder of the Duke of Norfolk had received the Royal assent by stamp, and that in the first year of the following reign, the reign of Mary, a bill was passed to declare that act of at tainder null and void, one of the grounds of this measure being that it had not received the royal matt by means of the Sign Manuel, but by means of a stamp, and that this stamp had not been Impressed by the King's hand. The latter ground did not appear upon the face of the bill, but he collected it from the de. chtratioo of the Lord Chancellor, made during the debate. The result, however, was that in consequence of these and other irre gularities, the bill of attainder against the Duke of Norfolk was declared null and void. He bad adverted to these historical prece dents, not in the supposition that parliament in the present day was bound to copy them with servile exactness, but solely with a view to guide th em to a wise and prudent decision upon the present oces. sion. At the present time he knew that no mir.ister would recom. mend to Parliament to dispense with the signature of public instru ments by the hand of the King himself, unless in a case of extreme necessity. But, as that necessity had unfortunately arisen, it be. came has duty to suggest to their Lordships the measure which ap. peared to him to be the most proper, leaving it open to receive amendments from the suggestion of any other of their lordships. It only remained, then, for him to describe the measure which his Ma. jesty's Ministers, upon the fullest consideration they could give to the subject, had thought it their duty to recommend, and state by what guards they proposed to surround it. The measure, then, was shortly as follows :—They proposed that his Majesty should be empowered to issue a commission under his sign manual, to authorize any one or more persons to affix, by means of a stamp cube prepared for the purpose, the sign manual to such in. struments as required it. As a protection against the abuse of this authority, he should propose that the person or persons authorised to affix this stamp. should take an oath that, unless in the presence of the sovereign, they would never a ffi x the stamp to any in st r u . menc whatever. Bat this was not aIL He proposed that they should also be required to swear that they would not affix the stamp to any document until it was indorsed with &description of its nature, signed by three of his majesty's ministers to be specially named. But he did not stop here, although these guards might probably be thought auffi cient. It was further proposed that the stamp should remain in the custody of three minister. of state, and should only be affixed in the presence of one of them. This was the messute, and these the guards against abuse which they proposed. If any noble lord could pro pose precautions more likely to be effectual, he should be happy to adopt them. They had by the proposed measure, first, the security of the stamp ; then they had the protation afforded by the oath of the person or persons authorised to affix it. They had also the protec tion of the intlnent, which must be signed by three responsible ministers ; and farther than this, they had the assurance that the stamp must always be affixed in the presence of cne of the ministers, of the crown, who must attest it; so that all forgery was Imionible, and he might venture to say it was Imposaibie that, forgery could even be attempted. But it was not intended by this measure to su persede the Sign Manual. It was provided that notwithstanding this Act, the Sign Manual, if in any case his Majesty determined to affix it, should have all its former authority. He had not given this state ment of the particulars of the measure be intended to propose, with the intention to provoke discussion now. A mote convenient oppor. tunic), for discussion would be afforded on the second reading, which he intended to propose to-morrow. He should also propose that on that occasion the Standing Orders be suspended in the hope that the bill might pass through all Its stages on the same day. If any noble lord had any ine rovement to suggest, be should be happy to acquiesce in it. A noble earl had suggested the appoint. menu of a committee to search for precedents • he saw no objections to this course. The committee might proce ed simultaneously with the progress of this bill, but he slid not think tray were likely to find any other premdents than those i e had collected having r•- feretwe to this subject. If any noble lout. however, should [moose such a committee, be would not object to it. It need not delay the bill a single hour. Lord ELDON said hashould not enter into the merits of the bill, tier make any observations just now.
