CA 1) I Z April 5. Die Philippine Islands, which had been conquered by Spanish salour would have been abandoned, had a religious idea, so worthy of our Catholic Sovereigns, not resisted the sacrifice of these rich i•larals, so v,.litable on account of their position and soil, that they were called the pearls of the cast. There King Charles 111. and Chitties; IV. sowed those seeds which were destined to bear fruit un tier the paternal reign of the magnanimous King Ferdinand VII. The importance of these remote possessions of the crown of Spain, the loyalty and valour of their inhabitants, arid the solicitude and lose which our august monarch bean to all hia children, could not furl :o fire his sovereign attention on the expediency of giving to these subjects a proof of his esteem and protection, by extending tr theta the support of the laws, and the guarantee of social benefits. lu order to attain those high objects, and to restore peace and tr.ntiaillity, his majesty ordered the battalion of Asia of 1000 men strong (infantry,) and a troop of 120 horse, forming one fourth part at the regiment of veteran dragoons of Luzen, with a company of 65 tee', of horse artillery, to be sent to these islands. The equipment of the expedition and its material being confided t v his Majesty to the Royal Philippine Company, orders were re el ived in December last, in this port, to charter vessels to sail, in company with the Company's own European ships, the Santa Aline md Rey Fernando, of 1,695 tons, to convey the troops to their des tination to Manilla, when shortly afterwards the Spanish ship Con -tontine, 1,129 toss, and the Paz, of 51K1 tons, were prepared. The troops having been reviewed on the 30th of March, the next Jay. Sunday, was fixed for their sailing; but it blew hard, with signs of a storm, till the sth of April, when at six o'clock in the morning the signal for sailing was made to the Parole frigate, whose Commander is to convoy them as far as the Canary Islands. At seven o'clock the frigate weighed her anchor, and was followed by the ship El Rey Fernando, and the Galena Constancia and La Pas, and the Relampaga brig of war, whose Commander is Commodore of the convoy from the Canaries to the Philippine Islands, and by half-past one o'clock they were out of sight. Of the 1,248 men forming the expedition, 546 are on board El Rey Fernando; 421 on board the Constantin; and 299 on board the Paz. These ships also carry out 11 religious Missionaries, sonic Custom-house officers, several ladies, and various military stores and commercial goods —Diario LISBON. From the Gazette de Lis&ao, April 24. Since the revolution in Portugal—that is to say, front the year 1820 to 1828, when the King our Lord arrived—there have been no less than 63 Ministers of State in office—viz. 11 Ministers of the Kingdom, nine Alinisters of War, 11 Ministers of Finance, nine Ministers of the Navy, 11 Ministers of Justice, and 12 :Ministers of Foreign Affairs. From the reign of Alfronso V: in 1442, sho was called Lopo Alffonso, to 1820—that is in a span of 378 years, nearly four cen. turies—here were 47 Secretaries of State, a great part of whom died in o ffi ce. Thus it follows that we ha d lately, in a period of right years, 16 Secretaries of State more than in almost the whole laur centuries preceding. During the period from 1442 to 1829 we extended our commerce all over the world. We conquered India, we established ourselves in China and Japan, we colonised America, and our language had become almost the universal language in all parts ; we taught the old world the customs, the geographical situation, and the peculia rities of many different nations, and the study of, in every climate, and coast of the sea ; the greatest potentates of Asia disputed ..!ach other the honour of becoming tributary to us. We eclipsed the maritime preponderance of the ancient Phoenicians ; and, at one and the same time, we gave laws to Egypt, Arabia, and Persia.— Lisbon had become the emporium of the riches of the universe. We maintained our independence, and caused our flag to be respected; we repelled two aggressions—one by waging a most glorious war of 28 years duration : and another by acquiring in the Peninsular war that ancient renown which ever belonged to the Portuguese from the remotest antiquity. But what dreadful disasters have we not expe rienced since the year 1820 ? GERMAN AND RUSSIAN PAPERS. From the Weser, April 23. According to accounts that are worthy of credit, the money which the Duke of Brunswick took with him, on his journey to Paris, probably amounted to several millions of dollars. This great sum is partly the fruit of the savings of his Highness during the six years of his reign, and partly the produce of the sales of domains which have been e ffected during the same period, but the validity of which sales is contested by the Committee of the estates. The amount was gradually converted into gold and put into tin cases, closely soldered up, each containing 5,000 dollars—all of which the Duke took with him. As the last resolution of the Duke relative to the affairs of Bruns wick was taken on the 21 of this month, and it is understood that the time fixed for compliance was only four weeks, we may expect important events at the close of the present month. LEIPSIC, APRIL 24. The fair promises well, partly on account of the great number of Greeks and Asiatics who appear here for the first time, some of them with their own brokers, and partly on account of the large sums for schrelt they have credit front foreign places. Hitherto, they have' , merely looked about them, and consulted together, but made few purchases, so that we cannot yet say what goods are likely to be particularly in demand for Asia. IVe have also many Poles and lt,..cstans here. from which we infer that the late reductions in the tiv.es of customs, in both states, will give commerce a little liberty. he march of Saxon troops for a certain purpose is still enveloped In mystery. It is conjectured that should matters come to extre. mities, the cause of the march will soon be removed. As the march of our troops has been frequently announced, without taking place, we do not believe that it will be effected on the 26th, as some persons now affirm. ILESSE DAIIIISTADT.—The Suabian Mercury says that Ma jor.Oeneral the Prince of Wittgenstein, who is gone to St. Peters burg to announce to the Russian Court the death of the late Grand Duke. is also commissioned, on his return through Berlin, to ask die hand of the Princess Elisabeth, daughter of Prince William of Prussia (the King's brother), for the Hereditary Grand Duke Louis, bnrn 1906.—Nurembury Correspondent, April 29. From the Petersburg Commercial Journal. UKASE,io - TiIi . DIRECTING SENATE. " The Minister of Finance has represented to us that various cis. cutnatAnces are observed, on an attentive consideration of the ma. nufactures and trade of the empire, which prove on one side the in. sufEciency of the duties on various articles for the protection of the national manufactures, and on the other the injury that arises from the prohibition to import several articles, the admission of which, on payment of a proportionable duty, would excite emulation in our own manufacturers. Approving of these representations, we have given our sanction to • new table, approved by the council of the empire, of articles, the importation of which Is to be again allowed, as well as of those the duties upon which are in some instances in. creased, in others diminished. We transmit this table to the senate, commanding it to be carried into effect. (Signed) " St. Petersburg, 3hrch 26 (April 7,) 1830." The Commercial Journal adds the following observations:— " NICHOLAS. The changes in the Tariff have the following objects :- 1 . To reduce the number of prohibited articles, as far as can be done without injury. e. To lessen the temptation to smuggling. 3. To afford to our manufacturers (with sufficient protecting du. ties) new patterns, to make them sooner acquainted with the im provements of other countries, to excite them to emulation, and, in general, to enlarge their ideas. 4. To procure them a more extensive sale; for ifs small number of articles of luxury which come into the empire by various means must for the present be obtained for the capital from foreign coun. tries, yet our manufacturers have the market of all Russia open to them ; for new, more elegant, and all valuable ar t icles f or t h e fa shims must, oicouree, be longer in reaching the distant provinces. The untenable notion of preventing luxury has not been taken into consideration ; but, at all events, the Russian manufacturers will be able to supply the public with such superior articles on reasonable terms. 5. The duty on some articles is augmented, because experience allows, that, Si our manufacturers could not of era ise subsist, the duties on others are increased or diminished, in order to do way with inequalities in the tariff: Pecuniary advantage has not been sought; and as the changes relate only to the admission of prohibited articles, or to objests of 1 small importance, it did not seem necesthry to make this ordinance known earlier.

Ada &We Gamine, May 1. FRENCH PAPERS The following are extracts from the french papers of Wednesday, which arrived last night : VIENNA, Aran. 26. Letters from Constantinople of the 20th ult. state, that the Am min bassadors of the three Medi a tin Powers had notyet made any com munication to the Porte res g the decision.; on the protocols of the 4th, 20th, and 26th of FFebruary last : it is aided that this com- munieation would be made on the 11th. It has been noticed at Constantinople, that the Court :lima ;tack, published at the period of the festival of the Ilsiram, has omitted' the appointment of the Turkish authorities in the Mores; but that' those of Lepanto and Ncgropont are mentioned, as usual. It is known that, according to the first deciAon of the mediating Powers, the limits of Greece were not to extend beyond the Isthmus. On the 3d of the same month, the Hazentlar, or treasurer of Kai maks'', a pasha, was brought up before the sultan, and after a short hearing beheaded by order of that prince. A captain of in fantry was subjected to a like fate, without ever a hearing. On the 10th, the Baron Ribeaupierre, the Russian Ambassador, presented his credentials to the Kaimakan Pache. The English papers, and the Times especially, pretend that we were badlt informed on the subject cf the negotiations which lately took place at Paris between Prince Leopold of aaxe Coburg, M. de Polignac, and the Ministers of England and RIM* for the purpose of deciding the Prince to accept the sovereignty of Greece, and to set off immediately to that country. We are Ignorant of the pri vate information which bast determined the English papers to doubt of the authenticity of our assertions, which were, however, scrupu lonely exact. The Times will undoubtedly be convinced of this, if it is not so already, and, acknowledging tlu inexactitude of its denials, it will disavow the impropriety of its itne. The Times, and in general almost all the Inglish papers, prove very clearly that they would view with feelings of regret the refusal of Prince Leopold. The manner In which they contradict any fact from whence it might be inferred that the Prince v: ill not accept the Crown, shows that hi de Polgnac has been guid ed in his choice by the sole interests of the Brilish Cabinet. Every means has been taken to decide the Prince to accept the offer._ The Times tries to.day to excite his sentiments of honour, and inveighs with great indignation against the motives to which we ascribed the Prince's refusal. We said that a man in a station so independent, so happy, and so elevated, may very well prefer such an existence to a throne in a country where all is yet to be done, because all has been destroyed. If such had been the sentiments of the Prince, answers the Times, he would never have been a can didate for the throne of Greece : and it terminates its declamations on that subject by assuring us, that it does not at all fear that the Prince will suffer himself to be influenced by such narrow and per. sonal views as those which we supposed in him. We can very well allow The Times to make use of such stimu lants: as an English paper, it cannot but bedesirous of seeing a Bri tish subject King of Greece, and the new state become a fi e f of England. One of the most singular circumstances of this tramiae- ' lion is, that according to the Duke of Wellington's own words in the Parliament, neither France nor Russia have required that the future sovereign of Greece should relinquishhis title of British sub ject. However, the last news from London do not =ounce that the Prince' has accepted definitively.—Nationol. AT TWO O'CLOCK. Do. Do.

The army is really superb, and animated with the best spirit. The regiments which have conic from the north of France have not left a single man behind them. Our young soldiers, who have not been able to form a part of the battalions engaged in active service, are really afflicted, and many r.on-commissioned officers have re. signed their rank, in order to enter these battalions on the footing of soldiers. There arc 30,t'00 men of infantry, and 5,000 of other tr°° Tre . navy is not less zealous than the army : the crews are In an excellent state, and the greatest efforts are made in order to be ready In time. We have counted 99 vessels of all sizes, and about SOO transports. " No armament of such importance has been made since the expedition of Egypt; and even at that period the fleet was not all assembled at Toulon—it was dispersed in several ports of the Mediterranean. AU kinds of precautions have been taken to se cure the health of our soldiers against the climate and the dis eases to which Europeans are exposed. Never, at any epoch, were the persona employed in the administrations and haspitals so numerous. rho war which we have undertaken is much bet ter understood in the south, than in the north, of France. W e view it with pleasure, because its result will be to destroy the piracy which has been so long infesting oor maritime commerce; the army is, in consequence, received with satisfaction iu every place where it passes. The weather is beautiful : for the last six weeks not a single drop of rain has fallen in Provence. Several vessels of the division of Brest have entered the port, and taken their station near the admiral's ship, La Provence. It is the same vessel which was insulted by the Algerines, and will have on board the admiral and the general who are to take vengeance for this affront. Not far from it is the Trident, under the command of rear-admiral Rosamel : this ship has just returned from the Levant, and though the crew had a right to be discharged, it has demanded as a favour to be employed in the campaign. The Congreve fumes are tried daily, the sailors exercise at firing the great guns, and the infantry at the military evolutions. Add to that some thousands of boats, which are continually goidg to and fro, and you may have an idea of the spectacle which the second port of France presents at this moment. The expedition will probaby set sail on the Bth or 10th; and even then there will be no time lost, for the best months for the naviga tion of thelllediterranean are those of May, June, July, and August. —Gazette de Frame. TOULON, APRIL 29. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. The steam-vessel Le Rapide, commanded by Lieutenant Lu. geol, senior, arrived here this morning from Lisbon, where she was detained for the repair of the damages she suffered on her way from Bordeaux. The Minister of Marine has announced the arrival of 500 sailors, taken from men-of-war, on board the vessels arriving from Brest, Rochefort, L'Orient, and Cherburg. This quan. titymak mg a surplus of about 2,000 unemployed sailors at Toulon, his Excellency has written to Vice-Admiral Duperre, that in conformity to the authorization which he had given, he could, if he judged it proper, give to the vessels and frigates now armed es flute, their full complement of men and guns. No one can deny but that in this instance it would be prudent to adopt such a measure, so as not to be left unprovided with tailors in case the fleet should require al reinforcement : but it is also necessary to observe, that this measure ,would considerably retard the embarking of the artillery necessary for the second batteries on board our vessels ; and that it would be necessary, on the contrary, to hasten the departure of the expedition, so as not to give time to the Algerines to recruit new auxiliaries, and to fortify more strongly their impregnable rocks. Yesterday morning the steam-vessel Le Sphinx, having on board 12 carronades, 24 pounders, left the roads to go and try whether the firing of cannon would cause any prejudice to its machines. Six shots were fired, one at a time, then two at a time, afterwards three, four, eight, and twelve. The commotion occasioned by the 12 shots fired together, although violent, did not in any way derae the machines, which still continued working. This trial, will has turned out very satisfactorily, has proved that artillery can be made use of on board these vessels without the slightest inconvenience. The second and fourth regiments of light infantry have left their quarters at La Veldts and Hiires for La Seyne, St. Nuaire, and Roudots. Lieut.-Gen. Berthezene and Major-Oen. de Morran, inspected this morning the 9th regiment of Line, in the Champ-de-Mars. Four batteries of light artillery of the 2d and 3d regiments arrived here this morning from Strasburg and Met z.—Globe. ANCONA, Aran 19. The news from Rome is far from confirming the aiarmin his respecting the health of the Holy Father. The weakness of Ho liness is merely the same as a great number of the inhabitants of Rome, resulting from the atmospheric variations. This year, in fact, the Roman States, during the month of February, experienced the rigours of winter, the heat of the dog days, and both hot and cold winds. But the return of the south wind has brought the si rocco of the African shores, and with it the contagious exhalations which infect the greater part of Rome, and force the population to seek out places which are kept healthy by a circulation of air. The physicians attached to the apostolical palace of the Vatican have de- elated to his Holiness that the seasons having changed so suddenly' this year, the state of the country would oblige him to leave the Vatican two months earlier than usual. According to this advice, Pius Vlll. whose health is always precarious, quitted the palace the 10th of April, for Monte Cavallo, upon Mount Quirinal. The pontificial court, the same day, followed his Holiness to his new re sidence. Last year Pius Vlll. did not quit the Vatican before the 90th of June, atter the festival of St. Peter."—Quolidienne.

Le National, a Paris paper of some eminence, con tinues to reiterate its former statement, that Prince Lro roLD has declined the proffered Sovereignty of G:ecce• The assertion of Lord ABERDEEN in the House of Lords having satisfied our minds on this subject, we have only again to express a hope that no unnecessary time may be lost in bringing the negotiations to a final close. Owing to the system of intrigue to which we have alicady al luded, the difficulties of establishing tranquillit, and putting down rival factions, will be greatly in creased by delay. We can easily conceive that those who are anxious to perpetuate Russian in fluence in Greece, will resort to every means likely to inspire the Prince with a distaste for his new dignity. Wo trust, however, that the certainty of his being able to confer vast benefits on the people over whom he has been invited to reign, added to the true glory attendant on such an undertaking, will outweigh every other consideration. The artiele of the Na tional, which will be found in another column, re proaches a London contemporary with " exciting senti ments of honour," &c. in the Prince. However fre quently we have felt it our duty to differ with some of the doctrines put forth by the journal in question, its recent comments on the motives which would most naturally influence the determination of the Prince, had our hearty concurrence. If, contrary to our hopes, any insur mountable obstacle should prevent the present arrange ment from being carried into effect, we can only say, that it is of the highest importance to British interests, that the independence and political organization of the new State should be decided with all possible celerity. We understand that the meeting of Mexican Bond holders, recommended in the dispatch of M. ALAMAN, will be deferred till a communication has been made to the holders of Mexican Bonds in Holland.—As we said yesterday, the English creditors would, of course, have been much better satisfied with an immediate remittance; but this could not possibly have been expected from a new Government the moment after assuming the reins of power. With regard to what has been done, we shall continue to consider it as a transaction bearing all the evidence of sincerity, and an anxious desire to re establish the credit of the Republic, until at least some event arises, which shall justify a departure from our present conviction. The Russian Tariff has long presented, in the severity of its restrictions, a striking contrast to the free-trade principles adopted by England. There is scarcely an ar ticle of English manufacture, the importation of which is not so heavily loaded with duty as to render the system almost prohibitory. The Prussian State Gazette has published a Ukase of the Emperor NICHOLAS, effecting some changes, one of which is the reduction of the pro hibited articles, which, as a relaxation of the code, may, to a certain extent, operate favourably on our ma nufactures. If the intelligence relating to the subject rested here, we might be induced to flatter ourselves that a change had taken place in the commercial policy of Russia—that her eyes were opened to the wisdom of English liberalism—and that she was preparing to emu-' late us in all our new-(angled doctrines. The Commer cial Journal, a St Petersburgh paper, forbids the enter tainment of any such expectation. The object of the change, it says, is to lessen the temptations to smug gling, and to afford to the Russian manufacturers new patterns,—to make them sooner acquainted with the im provements of other countries—to excite emulation, and generally to enlarge their ideas. This information, un fortunately, is not sufficiently explicit to enable our ma nufacturers to derive any immediate advantage from it; the favoured articles of importation, from which the prohibition is removed, not being specifically nusitist:kl From the policy, however, attributed to the mea.stito, may be presumed they are chiefly fancy articles, o• such, as being of small bulk, were the most conveniett: materials for illicit trade. It would require more elo. quence and address than our Ministers possess, I persuade Russia to depart from the restrictive system n hick she has hitherto pursued. It is her pulic) to encourage her infant manufactures by prohibitors• duties in huports, and its success proves the soundneA of the principles on which she has acted. They bet:av profound i3morance of the internal state of that country who consider it as little advanced in the arts of civiliza• Lion, or dependent upon importations for articles of con venience. Years have elapsed since Tula acquired the name of the Sheffield of Russia, and demonstrated, in tit, excellence of every article of hardware manufactured in that celebrated town, the fairness of her claim to that title A rivalship in our silk and cotton manutacture, is probably that contemplated in the recent changes, and we shal: probably hear, at no great distance of time, of some mite: manufacturing town, dignified with the title of the Man chester of Russia. Many years ago, when Lord STANIIOPI: v.as Minister for Foreign Affairs, he stated that he deceived and misled the whole foreign diplomatic corps by telling them the precise troth in answer to any questions which the: thoughlii, to ask; for the several members, never sus, pecting or thinking such candour and ingenuousness possible in a statesman, were sure, in consequence, to send to their several Courts instructions directly con trary to the information received by them from his Lord ship, and the respective Governments, acting upon them, were thus led into error. The ethics of the diplo matic corps would seem to the full as pure now as in Lord STAN 1101' E'S time. The Dey of Algiers appears, by the extent of his preparations, to give) full credit to the French for candour and sincerity in the avowed ob ject of their present expedition ; but there is not the slightest reason to presume that in so doing he be found to have been led into error. Some peoph: think that, in this candid avowal of the object of the expedition, where the good derived by Lord STANI101'1:, could not be expected, the French have not displayed their usual pru dence. It was not thus the Directory prepared the ex. pedition for the invasion of Ireland, nor BONA. PA lITE that for the invasion of Egypt. however, if there be little prudence, there is a good deal of chi- valry, in this open mode of proceeding; and, as most glory is to be obtained where most danger is to be en countered, the French may have sought an opportunity of being gratified, to the fullest possible extent, in ruling passion. There is something generous and ro mantic in thus notifying their intention to the DEY, long before the attempt, and warning hint to call fort:: all his strength, and be fully prepared to meet it. With respect to the fate of the expedition, we are inclined t" think it has the best chance of success by land.

We have observed for some time past, that a statement has been put forth in a morning journal, that the sum of about twelve mil. lions of Stock is pawned with private bankers. On this statemer.t we have to notice to the public, that to ascertain the above point, i: would be necessary for all the bankers in London to expose their books and betray the confidence of those who employ them, to able the party to ascertain ►he amount of Stock pawned; therefore it is evident that the whole of the above assertion is a mere guess and supposition, as it Is almost impossible for any person to a,cer tain the stock in pawn, which is not computed by the well.infonr.ed st more than four or five millions at the utmost.
