. 6 . • " lIAMBURGH MAIL. • -11AZIOVIIR, MAT is. According to the accounts received here from London by the last Mail, his Majesty, our King, will arrive here, if the plan of his journey is not changed, on the 22d of August, by the way of Spa and Horn: burg. Very great improvements are making in the Court Theatre, against his Majesty's arrival, so that the house will be closed for a considerable time. The great box opposite the stage is fitting up for his Ma jesty, with splendid decorations ordered from Paris. The Managers are in treaty with same of the most distinguished performers of the German Theatres, for the time of his Majesty's visit. PETERSBURG H, MAY 9. Various changes of position are taking place among our troops in the southern provinces of the Empire. The Imperial Guards will march from this city in a few days, unless counter-orders shoUld arrive. ' The head-quarters will he at Witepsk. WARSAW, MAYII. We can now state for certain, says our Gazette, that his Majesty the groperor will arrive here about the 2Oth. LITHUAWI A, MAY 4. The corps of General Sacken, which has been hi therto in the Dnieper, near Mohilow, has gone to the South, and will pro bably march to Bessarabia, on the frontiers of Moldavia. CONSTANTINOPLE', APRIL ts. The rage of the Turks against the Greeks here is beyond conception. The Government 6nds it im possible to restrain the people. The most blood thirsty are the Asiatic troops, who come by forced marches, and are guilty of unbounded cruelties to the Greek inhabitants. They plunder, murder, and drag away the women and girls, and nobody is able to check their daily increasing disorder. HAMBURGH, MAY n. Letters from Jassy, from an authentic source, up to the 23d of April, confirm the intelligence that the Greeks have advanced beyond the Danube. News had also been received that Greek pirates had taken in the Archipelago an• English ship bound from Odessa to Liverpool, with a cargo of tallow, and de manded 100,000 piastres for the ransom : a proceed ing which sufficiently shows the rapacious character of their enterprise. A report was in circulation at Cracow, on the 16th of May, that there had been a great massacre at Constantinople ; and at Warsaw it was reported, on the Bth, that Ypsilanti had fled to Malta with the treasure collected by the Greeks. SPANISH PAPERS. MADRID, MAY to. We received very late yesterday the account of what had passed at La Fontana, so that it was not possible for us to mention it. We can now say that a Mr. Nunez, brother to the Captain of that name, well known for the sacred principle which he has never ceased to advocate, delivered a magnificent discourse, in which, for the violent diatribes—its odi ous designation—the ridiculoos exaggerations which have unhappily been too often heard in that Club, he substituted most important truths and luminous axioms in politics and legislation : and the whole in a lofty style, which gave extraordinary splendour to this fine production. We would propose to erect a Patriotic Society in every ward of the city, if all the citizens would speak on the same principles as M. Nunez ; or we would order them all to be shut if they spoke like the Valencian Clergyman. MAY 11.—Yesterday evening the assembly at La Fontana was brilliant. All the orators, including the Valencian Clergyman, expressed excellent principles. 'di The love of his country and its prosperity were his pride. If indulging in personalities, with which be was reproached, had bad consequences, he would give up that course," and in fact he spoke afterwards like the brothers Nunez and the other orators. If the club at La Fontana goes on thus, it will be advisable for all persons who have not much to do to go in the evening to hear lessons of pure patriotism. MAY 12.—1 t is confidently asserted, that Senor Dan Pedro Sainz de Baranda has been nominated Political Chief of Madrid, and the Marquis de Casa Irujo, to the post of Ambassador from Spain to the l i Court of Paris. . _ _ _ _ Accounts from Vittoria, of the Bth of May, say, that the troops and the local militia of that city, who continue to scour the province since the affair of Sal vatierra, in pursuit of the rebels there dispersed, met with some of them near Valpresta, of whom they killed two and took seven, whom they have brought Isere badly wounded, especially their chief, the Cler gyman of Pipaon,—he sent men to clear the country of this rabble, who became robbers ; the Catalonians as well as the Cavalry del Infante, and the National Militia, have taken the field again. The preparatory steps to try the rebels of Salvatierra and others before the Military Tribunal, are proceeding with great ac tivity. The Captain-General of Guipuscoa and his auditors are now here, and will probably remain till the conclusion of the proceedings, which, though very disagreeable, are absolutely necessary to main tain order. In the Sitting of the Cones on the I Ith, the Secretary of the Home Department gave an ac count of the arrests which, at the petition of various individuals, had been made in several great cities, of persons considered as disaffected to the new system. The Government, he said, was sensibly afflicted at the repetition of disorder, which lowered the present system in the esteem of foreign nations, and tended to increase the internal enemies of the Constitution ; *ad that it had taken all means to prevent any future violation of the law. His Majesty has signified to the Cortes by the Mi nister at War, that on account of the important affairs now before them, the decision of which is essential to the interest of the nation, his Majesty, using the pow, ers vested in him by the Constitution, declares the Session prolonged for one month. The Regiment Royal Alexander, one of the most devoted to the new system, is to be in garrison at Vit toria, where the military tribunal sits which tries the prisoners taken at Salvatiarra. !RUN, MAY se. rrivate letters state, that General Elio, formerly Military Governor of Valencia, who has been long confined in the prison of Vittoria, four of the Chiefs of Salvatierra, the Mayor of that town, and two Ec deeiastich have been condemned to death. l _. ~ FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, MAY 14. Letters from Laybach announce, that the Emperor of Russia left that city on the 14th, to return to Pe tenburgh, passing through Bada, in Hungary, and Warsaw. His biajestrthe Emperor of Austria also intended to leave Laybach. to return to Vienna. Private letters from Spain state that Merino has been taken: his own accomplices delivered him to General Empecinado. The accounts from Constantinople and Bucharest, far some days past, are involved in obscurity. The reports which aJournal spreads concerning the Morea may be true, but, at least, the accounts given are full of exaggerations and evident absurdities. We doubt the truth of the reported condemnation and execution of General Elio. _ _ French Five per Cents. Thursday, 84 f. 95 c. MADRID, MAY 14. PRIVATE CORIRESPONDZI4CI.—A conspiracy, lately discovered at Barcelona, has furnished the Govern ment with important in formation on all those which have hitherto been discovered. A foreign General, in the service of Spain, was at the head • of it. Be went to Barcelona disguised as a Monk, but was dis covered ; yet the - Magistrates could not arrest him, and he succeeded in escaping to France. It seems that a large magazine of arms was discovered (fifteen thousand muskets, says one account), which were to be distributed on the day appointed for the execu tion of the plot. MAT IB.—A letter from Cattora, of May 1, states, that the whole Peloponnesus has thrown off theTurkisb yoke ; and that there has been a bloody battle near Ampli, between the Greeks and the Turks, in which both parties fought with desperate valour; the Greeks were completely victorious ; their loss amounted to SOO men, and that of the Tut ks to 6,000. A Greek woman, widow of a person of distinction, who was beheaded at Constantinople, accompanied by her only son, and by her relations and friends ar rived at her expense, attacked the Citadel of Ampli, or Napoli de Romanica, by sea, and made herself mistress of it ; while three legions of cavalry ad vanced by land and occupied the town, after having defeated the Turks with 'great slaughter. Another battle, equally desperate, and with the same success to the Greeks, is stated to have taken place in the beautiful valley of Tempe. A letter from Constantinople, of the 25th of April, gives a dreadful picture of the state of that capital. The insurrection of the Archipelago is confirmed; the Porte is particularly alarmed at that in Candia. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, MAY 28, 1821. THE FUNDS.

A Lisbon Mail arrived this forenoon, with Papers to the 14th inst. The following are extracts: LISBON, MAY 5. The Regency of the Kingdom, in the name of the King, Don John VI. gives notice, that the General Extraordinary and Constituent Cortes of the Portu guese Nation, decree as follows : " The Cortes, considering the obligation of cementing mote and more the union of the Portuguese of both hemispheres by means of their political interests, and considering further, that no Citizen can acquire the sublime character of Deputy to the Cortes unless it be conferred on him by the votes of his consti tuents, in whom the Sovereignty essentially resides, declare and decree as follows : " Art. 1. All those Governments shall be considered as legi timate which are established, or shall be established, in the transmarine Portuguese Provinces, and the adjacent islands, to embrace the sacred cause of the political regeneration of the Portuguese Na t tion ; and all those persons shall be declared to have deserved well of their country, who have meditated, planned, and executed this regeneration." The other Articles contain directions for the elec tion of Deputies, and promises of assistance to conso lidate the union of the transmarine Provinces with the mother-country. The Diatio of to-day contains an invitation to all good and loyal Portuguese to contribute as far as lies in their power, by voluntary donations, to defray the expenses which will be occasioned by the re joicings on account of the acceptance of the Consti tution by his Majesty, and also by the arrival of his Majesty and the Royal Family, the Public Treasury being hardly able to meet the current expenses. LISBON, MAY 9. We receive from all parts of the kingdom letters describing the extreme pleasure which has been ex cited by the arrival of the news that) is Majesty has, adhered and sworn to the Constitution which s'aall be made by the Cortes of Portugal. The City of Braga particularly distinguished itself. Letter sent to his Majesty by the General Extraor dinary and Constituent Cortes of the Portuguese Nation, giving him an account of their labours, and presenting to him the basis of the Constitution, to be sworn to by his Majesty : • g io ,i 2 ,--The General, &e. Cones of the Portuguese Nation, having communicated to your Majesty, on the 15th and 19th of Pebruary, the faithful relation of their proceedings a ft er their I installation, and an account of the facts and causes which pre ceded it---Raabred, in their sitting of the 10th of April, again I to offer to . your Majesty the expression of their profound respect, love, and attachment to your Majesty's meted perms, and to present to you the basis of the Constitution of the Portuguese. Monarchy, in the conAdent and well-founded hope that your Majesty would with joy immediately codirm, by your oath, this eternal support of your Majesty's throne, built on Portuguese beam, an immovable bulwark of liberty, and the sun pledg of dieliappleele et s oda; ee detettiag et tb love of he mot areb as worthy to be free. a But the rapidity with which the glorious events of our poli tica regeneration succeed each other, daily encreasing the great hopes of seeing all our wishes fulUed, has caused us to be anti cipated by the agreeable information that your Majesty did not hesitate to anent so the wishes of the Nation, and that you had in fact sworn to maintain and preserve the Constitution on which the Cortes are now engaged.•• The letter then describes the transport of joy with which this happy news was received throughout the whole kingdom. Thu Cortes are persuaded that they cannot congratulate his Majesty in any more suit able manner, than by presenting to him the bases of the Constitution, which contain the authentic decla ration of the rules and condition, according to which the Portuguese Nation desires to be governed. The principles therein adopted, they say, contain nothing extraordinary; they do not diminish the just weight and prerogatives of the Monarch, and •far from eclipsing they enhance the splendour of the throne. They then state the solemnity with which the oath was taken on the 224 March by all the Au thorities, ecclesiastical, civil, and military, of Portugal and .Algarve, with the exception of the Patriarch. The letter then mentions the acceptance of the Con stitution by the islands of Madeira and of St. Mi chael, and by the people of Para and Bahia. His Majesty has now completed by his oath this majestic edifice, and the union of the three kingdoms of Por tugal, Algarve, and Brazil, hitherto nominal, will henceforward be real and voluntary. Nothing is now wanting but to perfect the National Representation, by the election of Deputies for Brazil. The letter concludes with assurances, that the Cortes proceed with assiduity in their labours, and with wishes for his Majesty's health and happiness.

Extracts from them will be found under their respective heads in a preceding part of our Paper.— The accounts from Turkey, it will be observed, tend to confirm those which we published on Saturday. STIRLINGSHIRE ELECTION. The contest for the Representation of Stirlingshire, in Parliament, which has excited very general in terest in S:otland, was on Thursday decided in fa-' your of Mr. Home DRUMMOND, by a majority of five—forty-sevea having voted for that Gentlemad, and forty-two for Sir ARCHIBALD EDHONITONZe— The parties at startinf ie w en ere nearly even, the election of Chairman having deterhuned by a majority of one, but the subsequent alterations in the Roll gave an addition of four voters to the winners. We have not heard whether or not the return is to be disputed. —Both the Candidates in this case were understood to be decided Ministerialists, which of course created a division in the party, and the Oppositionists having thrown their united weight into Mr. Dauststosns scale, they turned the balance against the Mourhosa interest. His MAJESTY'S yacht the ROYAL Gamma is flitting in Portsmouth Harbour for his MAJESTY'S reception, with all possible haste.

ALGERNON Error, from Pernambuco, Bahia, and Rio Janeiro, Which last place she left on the 29th March, having had a good passage of 52 days to Scilly, when she met with adverse winds. She brings the important intel ligence that Lima has been taken by Lord COCHRANE and General SAN MARTIN, after a very trifling loss, considering the strength and importance of the capture. The treasure which fell into the hands of the capton is said to be very considerable. There were no fur ther particulars known when the 'cam left Rio. [We consider this report not entitled to much re liance. No dates are given, and the report may pos sibly 'only be an echo of some of the many ground. less rumours, to the same effect, which have before reached us.j—Sir THOMAS HARDY had left the Rive Plate in the CREOLE frigate, Captain T. WHITE, and gone round Cape Horn ; having directed the Suess" 74, Captain A. MACKENZIE, not to proceed to Eng land, as was intended, but to remain in the Rim, for the protection of English property on the Eastern side of the Continent of South America, where public events of anew and important character were occur ring almost daily. The French line-of-battle ship Colosse, and Arethuse frigate, had also left the River Plate, to g o round Cape Horn. The Owsx GLEN. DOWER frigate, Captain the Hon. It. C. SPENCER, had arrived at Valparaiso. The ANDROMACHE fri• Hate, Captain SHIRRS'S', and CONWAY, Captain Ram ALL, were also in the South Seas; the former Was waiting the approach of the summer mouths to re turn to England, as she was in a very bad state of repair. The SLANEY, 26, Captain O'BRIEN, was in the River Plate ; the ALACRITY, 16, HENRY STAN. HOPE, had arrived at Rio, from England. The intelligence brought by the Icaatis, with re spect to the expected return of the KING of Poartroat to his European dominions, is, that a squadron had been completed in provisions and stores for the recep tion and voyage to Lisbon of himself and part of the Royal Family, and a number of the Noblase, and his intention to return had been officially notified to the Diplomatique Corps, but it was, notwithstanding , extremely doubtful whether his Maissry would ever finally resolve to embark. The event of the accouche ment of the PRINCESS ROYAL, which it was said he waited for, had some time taken place, but his MA JESTY'S departure did not appear to be accelerated by it. The fact appears to be, that the PRINCE ROY AL of PORTUOAL is at the head of the patt y that has brought about the Revolution in that country, and that it is his wish to see his father happy and cow" fortable anywhere but in the Brazils: for his Roya l Highness foresees that the South American btat e. will, at no very distant day, become indepen d ent of the mother-country. The recent manifestation of pub' lic feeling at Bahia, Pernambuco, and all the Norther n Provinces, tends much to strengthen this belief.-- The squadron fitted out at Rio, to convey the KIN G to Lisbon, consisted of the Reyna, 74, John VI. and Maria de Gloria frigates, and a transport. Count de PALMELLA intended to return to Lisbon in one 1 ?l these ships. Mr. BINDER, Secretary to the Count, is come to England in the Ica RUS. The iCARUS brought only about £40,000 in specie; but it was understood there were about two millions and a halt ready to be shipped, which the sudden departure of the lcaanal prevented her from bringing. She brought tawny tivc invalids from Sir T11024A3 Haatofs squadron. .. , .r .
