The following is an extract of a private letter of the 15th ult. from Corfu By intelligence both from the Continent and the islands, we learn that hostilities between the Greeks and the Turks have re commenced at various points. Blood is flowing in Crete, and the Satniots, on being informed that they were to be again placed under the Turkish yoke,have unanimously resolved to die for their country. Freed .hy their own valour, and conquerors of the infidels, they have hitherto resisted all their attacks. Reduced to fight within a nar row space, they waited the approach of the enemy with determined resolution, exclaiming, We have required no aid from the Chris tians of Europe; by what right then do they pretend to dispose of us ?' We may soon expect to see renewed in Samos the examples set at Saguntum, Parga, and Alissolonghi. To live free, or die with arms in their hands, is the firm resolution of a popula tion that, including all ages and both sexes, excoeds 100,0001 souls. The inhabitants of Phocis, Doris, Loa* Emits, and Areanania, have unanimously determined to live independent in their mountains. Never will they surrender Vonitsa, Patradgik, or the positions held by the Policares on Mount (Eta, or the sides of ; Parnassus. Faithful to the President, they will not hold that -1 selves bound by any contract that separates them from Greece. The attempt to trace the boundaries that are to sever them may therefore be dispensed with, and it will be well for those who ate to be em ployed on that task to be on their guard how they present them selves on the banks of the Sperehius, lest they be treated as if they were Turks. This declaration has been communicated by all the mountaineers to the President of Greece, so that no one may pretend I to he ignorant of their sentiments. On the other hand, the Turks, fat from preparing to evacuate Attica, are victualling the Acropolis, and refuse to admit a single stranger. Omar Paella, who is daily receiving reinforcements, has secret orders to defend Rohm, what ever may be the tenour of the firmans addressed to him directing the surrender of that island to the Greeks. Negropont and Carys tos are occupied by garrisons commanaed by officers lately arrived from Constantinople. The islands of the A. ..ipelago have formed confederacies in opposition to the municipatt under which they have lived for the last eight years, pretending that no foreigner has any right to interfere in their affairs, without the consent of their delegates, and that these delegates even have no power to alienate their rights. Thessaly, Epirus, and part of Macedonia, groan un der the anarchical rule of the Albanians, who carry off, and sell for slaves, all the Christians they find without the walls of the towns. These armed barbarians deny the authority of the Grand Seignor, whom they look upon as the vassal of Russia. The Bosniacs op. pose the Treaty of Adrianople, and to enforce its execution Russia must again draw the sword. In the mean time, the Russians re main in possession of the principal military positions on the southern flank of Mount Hems.' Letters from Port-au-Prince, of April 22, announce that on the 7th the definitive treaty for regulating the political, commercial, and pecuniary relations between France and Hayti, was signed by the Commissioners, but had not been ratified by the President. It ap. pears that he makes no objection to the political and commercial stipulations, but his hesitation arises out of the pecuniary clauses. They are not considered by him as In proportion to the revenue of Hayti, nor consistent with the sacred obligations by which he has ever felt himself bound towards the holders of bonds for the lean granted to him. AI. Pichon, however, is perfectly aware of whet ought to be done, having received an official communication of the receipts and expenditure of Ilayti for the last three years. In the mean time, the Haytian government announces its intention of coo. tinuing its remittances for the reimbursement of the contractors. The Bayonnaisc had just sailed, and other vessels are shortly to follow her. The Austrian Observer contains a letter from Count Capodis trias, addressed to Baron Rouen the French resident In Greece, In which he declares, In the most distinct and unequivocal terms, that the two decrees inserted in the Courier de Steepens, relative to the establishment of a tribunal of secret surveillance, and attributed to the Greek Government, are entirely false, the Government not having had the intention of having recourse to such measures. The editor, he states, is guilty of defamation and calumny, and had either him self actually forged these pretended documents, or else inserted them without taking due means to ascertain their authenticity. The Pre sident then calls upon Baron Rouen to use his endeavours to bring the editor (who is a French subject) before the competent authorities, in order to his being compell e d to make a di s tinct and form a i avowal of the falsity of the articles complained of. The followir.g intelligence from Navarino, is dated April 14 : " In June last the merchantman Neptune, commanded by John Caramanli, was captured off (andia by Tufahai-Baschi, and taken to Canea with six of her crew, who were sent to prison by Kara Suleiman, Pacha. The Captain and the rest of the sailors jumped into the sea, reached the shore, and concealed themselves in the mountains. A few months ago Tufahzi-Baschi went to Syra on his way to Smyrna, whither he had been sent by Kara Suleiman, when Caramanli with the relations of the imprisoned mariners ap. plied to the Commissioner to have Tufabzi-Baschi arrested, in order to obtain the liberty of the prisoners as the condition of his release. The government, however, directed the immediate release of Tufaltei-Baschi, who continued his voyage to Smyrna; but the sanguinary Kara Suleiman, as soon as he heard of the arrest of Tutahzi.Baschi, without waiting for any information as to the result, hang the poor incarcerated Greeks, though they were abso lutely ignorant of these proceedings. They have all left families." 31. Feissat, editor, and Al. Demonchy, printer of the Semaphore of Marseilles, were tried a few days since by the Tribunal of Cor rectional Police, for a libel upon M. d'Arbaud Jouques, Prefect of the Bouches du Rhone, by stating in that journal " that he had made a dull translation of Ossian, that be had the vulgar air of a Burgundian clown, and resembled the would-be gentleman in La ) , ausse Agnes." M. Feissat was condemned to a month's imprison ment, and a fine of 300 fr. M. Demonelly was acquitted. PRICE 7D. pe ror of Russia, the two Sovereigns themselves will have a meeting in Silesia.

In consequence of a complaint made by Baron Herding, Minister of Bavaria, to the Swiss confederation, respecting the enlisting of Bavarian subjects in the Swiss regiments raised for foreign service, the Canton of Berne has answered in a note, in which it states, that Switzerland cannot in any way acknowledge itself bound to prohibit persons from enlisting as volunteers in these regiments ; because they are volunteers. If a govemmeat forbid its subjects to engage in fo reign service, they of course are under an obligation to osey, and incur responvibility if they fall ; but that no state can be found to inforce in its territory the laws of another state, unless In conformity with a special treaty. Now no such treaty exists between Bavaria and Switzerland; besides Bavaria could not give any compensation, as most of the Cantons have no intention to hinder their subjects to enter the foreign service of states, for which no regiments are raised by treaty with them. Though the Cantons do not acknowledge themselves under any obligation to change their "stem, most of them. and precisely those which furnish there:deft number of mon to the regiments in foreign service, have for various reasons prohibited the enlisting of fo. reigners In general as well as Bavarian subjects ; and if some Can tons have thought they ought not to abolish long established cus toms, they hat^ declared their willingness to take care that the Bavarian Government shall have no futute ground of complaint.— Frank/end Papers.

The house met in the morning and heard appeals. A petition was presented from the lord mayor and corporation of London, praying for the abolition of the law indicting capital pus r.ishment in cases of forgery. The Archbishop of YORK presented similar petitions from Bradford and Shipton, in the county of York. Also a petition from Beverley, against the sale of beer bill, and petitions against slavery. BANKRUPT BILL. The Earl of MALMESBURY presented a petition complaining of the uncertain manner in which the bankrupt act had been drawn up. The last clause had been found so defective, that doubts had arisen whether the law had any operation during four months in the year. The petitioners, who were persons likely to suffer under the defects of the bill, called upon their lordships for relief. His hope was that a noble and learned lord (Eldon) would bring forward a measure applicable to the case. The noble lord took this opportu. nity of calling the attention of the house to another bill brought up from the other house. lle alluded to the bill for relief of insolvent debtors. What did their lordships suppose that bill did? It de. cloyed that a minor might be imprisoned for debt, and be compelled to declare himself a bankrupt, thereby giving assignees power to ex ecute assigninents of his property in possession or reversion. The noble lord had never seen a bill in parliament so objectionable. Lord ELDON admitted that the bankrupt act was defective. With respect to the insolvent debtors bill, it was a most objection able measure. It forced minors to dispose of property although they could not be forced to pay debts by the law of the land. Any individual under age who might represent any of the noble lords present, might be called upon to assign property, and injure their family for ever. It was incumbent on every member of that house to watch such a bill with extreme vigilance. The noble and learned lord then proposed to discharge the second reading of the bankrupt bill, which stood for this day, and fix it for this day se'nnight. The order was discharged accordingly.

They do not intend to go to Trieste, unless the Ausuian flotilla should arrive in that port from the Levant, while their Alajesties are at Laybach. Their Majesties will be absent four weeks, and are expected at Schonbrunn by the time of the accouchement of the Archduchess Sophia; and It is said the Queen of Bavaria will also be there.

An English courier has passed through, on his way from Constantinople to London. BERLIN, MAY 25. The eyes of our politicians are turned towards Warsaw, where, besides the affairs of Poland, it seems that matters more generally interesting may be discussed. It is believed that divers important resolutions will be taken there and various conjectures are hazarded, the foundation and the probability of which remain to be proved.— So much seems certain that the wavering and unsteadiness which is observed to be so piquant in the course of great political affairs, may be ascribed to the state of doubt and embarrassment in some great States of Western Europe, while Eastern Europe openly and uniformly perseveres in a clear and decisive line of policy, in which strength is combined with mildness, and it is natural that the political system followed there so greatly to the general advan tage, should show, on all suitable occasions, a tendency to meson date itself. The affairs of France, both at home and abroad ; the crisis, transitory indeed, in which England will be placed t in case of a certain event, claim the attention of a pendent policy. It may ffi be confidently armed, that the principles of the Holy Alliance subsist inviolate. The relations between our Court and that of Russia are most friendly and confidential, and at this moment are particularly intimate. It is believed that besides the announced vi sits of several members of the families of our King and the kim- TEES Or THE CROWN ♦BOLITION BILL. Earl BATHURST wished to postpone the second reading of this bill in consequence of the absence of a noble duke. Earl DARNLEY expressed a hope that the discussion might not be postponed beyond to-morrow. The Earl of MA LIIESBURY objected to the bill being brought in just on the expected demise of the crown. A better moment might have been chosen. With all that was passing under their eyes he should have preferred seeing this bill brought forward at another time. The fees had been taken during eleven years, and at the moment when the illness of his Majesty gave foundation for grave considerations, the subject was, in his opinion, indecently in. troduced. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE admitted, upon a feeling of delicacy, that the subject ought to have been brought forward at an earlier period, but the lathes did not found any objection to the bill when it was brought before parliament. The order for the second reading was then discharged, and fixed for to-morrow. Several petitions were then presented complaining of distress, and against the increase of duties on spirits. GREECE ♦ND PRINCE LEOPOLD. The Earl of CARLISLE, alluding to the papers laid upon the table, said he was desirous of seeing clearly the motives which led to the abandonment of the original boundary of the new state of Greece, and was therefore anxious to move, with their Lordships' permission, for a copy of the communications made by the Allied Courts to their plenipotentiaries, expressing a desire to obtain a revocation of the boundary of the 22d of March. Their Lordships would recollect that in the last protocol was laid down a boundary different from that of March, and he wished to obtain information as to the causes which led to the abandonment of the boundary of the 22d of March. The Noble Earl was not aware of any objec tion to the production of the papers he required. The Earl of ABERDEEN did not rise to object to the pro duction of the document required by the Noble Earl, but he was not certain it was in form to be presented. Ile could not under. take to say at that moment that the communication to which the Noble Earl alluded was in a state which enabled him to lay the same before the house—but, if possible, the papers should be laid on the table. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said it was desirable, after the delay which had already occurred, that no time should be lost in obtaining information, and in that view he wished to ask a question or two. One of the most important communications was in page 75 of the papers before the House. The noble marquis alluded to the new frontier of Greece, as being proper for the defence of Greece. It was said, in the communications from the Allied Courts to their ministers, that it would be their duty to collect from the Greek Government evidence on that subject. All the papers produced were barren on that point. The noble marquis had not been able to find any argument raised in consequence of information commu nicated on the part of the Greek inhabitants, or such information front the plenipotentiaries, as they were ordered to communicate by their governments. Probably the Poros papers, which were to be presented to the House, might contain the information he required. The noble secretary would pethaps have no objection to present tile information alluded to, and also the communications with the corn ixabders relating to the Greek blockade. The Earl of ABERDEEN repeated that he had no desire to keep back any papers. It wu not eas7 to satisfy all parties, but he was really anxious to give all the information in his power. With respect to the papers mentioned by the Noble Marquis, be had already said that those papers in substance were comprised In the protocols. He had Dot the smallest objection to produce all the protocols. They embraced all the communications with the Greek government, which would appear in an extended form, but virtually they were in the papers on the table. With respect to the papers on the table they certainly had not all the communications respect ing the Greek blockade. Those with his Majesty's officers had not been produced, but there would be no objection to the production of the same if the Noble Marquis required it. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, it would be desirable to have them, also the correspondence on which the frontiers have been laid down. These documents were most important, as coming from the plenipotentiaries. The Earl of ABERDEEN said, as to the production of papers conveying instructions to the plenipotentiaries there was no objec tion, but all the instructions to the commanders and others, could not be produced. A variety of papers were in the French language. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY wished to know whether there was say correspondence previous to the first letter to his Royal Highness Prince Leopold In that letter the . tone and language did not appear courtly. If it had been done itillriief ift mode it would have been as well. He wished to ask whether there was any correspondence to justify that tone ? The Earl of ABERDEEN d:d not know what answer to make the noble marquis, but if the noble marquis had any desire to dis cuss that letter, or any part of his correspondence, he would afford him every opportunity. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved an address to his Ma jesty, for copies of all communications from any of the allied courts, relating to the Greek boundary. Lord HOLLAND expressed a hope that the Noble' Secretary would not consider him irregular in asking fur information. lie would point out papers which appeared imperfect without further information. He complained of die scanty information be , Ore the House relative to the state of Candia--especially as regarding th e raising of the bl ockade at that place; he was of opinion, aid he was sure that many of their Lordships would join him in the belief, that sufficient justice had not been done to the Gallant Admiral slo raised that blockade. He (Lord Holland) had been informed, that when that officer demanded the release of certain Greek prlsonera from the Pacha of Egypt, he was informed that they were prisoner', not since the battle of Navarino, but prior to that event ; he farther understood, that of these prisoners 1300 of them were inhabitant. of Candia. From the papers which had been laid on the table of the House, it also appeared that the state of Candies was by no mcrins s n tranquil as had been represented on a former occasion by a Noble Duke (Wellington), and that, in short, at present it was not in a tranquil state; he (Lord Holland) wished to be wellanformed on this point. The noble Baron concluded by :complaining of the slovenly manner in which some of the documents had been trans lated from French into English. The Earl of ABERDEEN said, that all the inforination be could give relative to the blockade of Candia bad already been laid on the table. He could state, however, that his Majesty's Govern ment had newer altered their instructions. He confessed that in the early period of these proceedings C an dl e was not tranqu il ; it wart so, however, at present. The Noble Earl concluded by justifying the course adopted for cutting off the communication between the Turkish and Egyptian forces. Lord HOLLAND azain rose. He said, he wished f ur a co py o f a note, which contained instructions from his Majesty's Ministers revoking former orders, given in a very early stage of the Greek ne gociations. The Earl of ABERDEEN assured the Noble Baron that 'her', had been no revocation whatever. Lord HOLLAND was not satisfied with the answer; he should, therefore, put it again, merely changing the words. He would a•k if there had been any orders given to raise the blockade of Cantlia by force ? The Earl of ABERDEEN said, that the Noble Baron would find, front the documents on the table, that the blockade was or dered to be raised, without any mention whatever of force. Lord HOLLAND wanted to know if there existed any corre•- pondence at all relate to that affaid? The Earl of ABERDEEN said there vat none. The Marquis of LA NSDOIVN moved for copies of the corret pondence which took place relative to the (boundaries of Greece and also in reference to the blockade of Cantlia—Ordered. After some observations from the lla►quis of Londonderry. their Lordships, on the motion of the Marquis of Salisbury, want into ■ Committee on the East Hetford bill ; and, as usual, having gone into evidence, adjourned at Nine o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS-MONDAY. Mr. HUSKISSON presented petitions from the Liverpool steam eempany,against the Irish GraziereSteam Navigation Company bill DAD DOGS. Mr. Alderman WOOD gave notice that he would, on Thursday next, bring in a bill to enable magistrates and others to prevent the spreading of canine madness. The same hon. alderman presented a petition from an individual named Gregory, against the punishment of death in cases of forgery. The Sheriffs of London appeared at the bar, and presented a pe tition from the Lord Mayor and Common Council of the city or London, praying for envision of the Criminal Code. Mr. Alderman WOOD supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. BELL presented a petition t'rom a place in Northumberland against the beer bill. Mr. LENNA RD presented a petition from Croydon against tit; punishment of death in cases of forgery. Mr. A. ELLIS brought up the report of the select committee appointed to inquire into the management of the library of the House.—Laid on the table. Mr. HUME, in presenting a petition from the inhabitants of the parish of St. blarylebone, complaining of the danger to which the inhabitants were exposed by the manner in which dogs were allowed to run about, said he understood that magistrates could not orthr dogs to be destroyed, although they might be found running about. He thought it was advisable that some measure should be Jain-- duped upon the subject. Mr. Alderman THOMPSt IN said that actions had been actually instituted against magistrates for ordering dogs to be shot. Ile was anxious that a short Act should be passed, to enable magistrates to de-troy dogs. Mr. HOBHOUSE said that he would gladly support the Bil! on the subject of canine madness which was to be introduced by the hon. member for the City of London. Sir. M. W. RIDLEY said, that he thought that the best way of having dogs confined was by imposing a tax upon the owners, whin they suffered them to be at large. Upon the Petition being brought up, Mr. HUME said that he was not anxious to give too much point to magistrates relative to destroy ing dogs. Mr. F. BUXTON presented Petition from certain Protestant Dissenters in Hackney, and from certain places in the county of Suffolk, against the punishment of death in cases of forgery. The hon. Member moved for &copy of the correspondence relative to the state of the gaols in the West Irdles.—Ordered. 111.13 R ABILNTICEL Mr. H. (RATTAN moved for a return of the number of ab sentees from Ireland, the amount of their property, and where situated. Sir M.W. RIDLEY thought that it would be impossible to give the required returns accurately. Mr. HUME objected to persons being made prisoners in their native land. He thought that the proposed returns would be useless. %lr. O'CONNELL said the only objection he had to the returns was that he feared it could not be complied with. No country suf fered so much from absentees u Ireland; four millions were an. nually drawn from Ireland by absentees. There was a precedent for imposing an absentee tax. Atter a few words from Mr.WmtauaToir, Alt. FITZGERALD said that his honourable friend, the mem ber for Dublin, could not obain any accurate information upon the subject of his proposed motion, and hoped his honourable friend would withdraw it. Mr. TRAIT was favourable to the introduction of the English Poor Laws into Ireland. Mr. H. GRATTAN thought something must be done to benefit the poor of Ireland, either by a tix upon absentees. or by the intro. duction of the poor laws into Ireland.

There halt been a decrease of forty one licences in the soap trade during the last year, owing to the in. crease of smuggling. In the last forty years the total number of licensee had not increased. The increase of tallow, as imported into this country, had been as three to one, while, on the contrary, the manufacture of soap hod only increased as 13 to 10 This proved the illicit manufacture of soap, and that the ue, intuits 1 of being benefitted by the imposition of the taxes in quastioa, it was injured.
