13olttcri4t- LONDON, MONDAY, MAY is. Three o'clock, ion. The Paris papers of Thursday state, that a courier arrived at Sc. Petersburgh with dispatches from M. Tatischef, at Vienna, which were considered of the highest importance; but no particulars had trans pired. It is now said, in contradiction to ull the atoekjobbing report► of last week, that strong ex pectations were entertained at Vienna, that a pacific arrangement would take place among the neighbour . ing powers. The Greeks are making groat and, we hope, successful efforts to subdue their enemies, and the Provisional Government is evidently ac quiring energy, consistency, and strength. The Greek peasantry are inspired with the spirit of Li berty, and have come forward, on beirg called upon, with patriotic zeal is the north of Thessuly and Upper Macedonia, to resist the repeated attempts of the Paella of Suloniehi to deprive them of their arms, and formed a body of 7000 men, including the best sharp-shooter? in Greece, and under the command of Captain Tassos, Diamentes, and Saphi rakes, proceeded, in the first instance, to occupy the defiles of Mount Olympus, the valley of Tempe, and the banks of Pellet's ; and thence, their num- berg increasing on their march, traversed.the country as far as Killiderven, on the sea coast. The Mace donian army then commenced the siege of Berrhue. A body of Turks sent to its relief by the I'acha of Salonichi, were defeated, and the place surrendered tut the 24th of March. An entrenched camp, oc cupied by the Turkish troops, under the walls of Patras, is said to have been forced by the Greeks, who, after killing a cousiderable number of the enemy, carried off 4.0 pieces of field artillery sent from Constantinople, and a quantity of ammunition. The President of the Greek congress has notified to the Agents of the European Powers, that all the ports of Crete are in a state of blockade. Napoli di Romanis was on the point of capitulating at the date of the latest advices from Zante (the 4th April.) The new elections for Paris commenced on Thurs day, with the same spirit and anxiety that charac terise popular elections in this country. The death of the Archbishop of Armagh was oc casioned by an unfortunate mistake—two phials had been lett with the porter, the one containing a me dicine which had been ordered for the Archbishop, the other containing two ounces of laudanum fur the porter's own use--the latter was given, by the man's error, to the butler, who was sent to him to enquire alter the medicine, and having unhappily been admivi,tered produced the fatal event.—A coroner's inquest has sat upon the bo ly and returned a verdict of " died in cousequetev of laudanum having been administered by mistake." German papers to the sth instant have reached us. The Frankfort Journal contradicts, in very pointed terms, an account published in the Allge tneinc Z2ilung, relative to Prince Michael Suzzu, and the formation of a corps of Hetarists in Russia. the Russian Government• it states, bad no right to prescribe to the Prince where he should go to; and, with respect to the latter, nothing was done or in trnded, farther than granting an asylum to these unfortunate persons. The committee appointed by the Austrian Government in 1816, for the purpose of superintendhig the redemption of the paper cur rency, has been dissolved, its object having been ful filled. This measure will produce to the State a saving of Bu,ooo florins, and it will increase the dividend of the B.wk shares. A new loan is spoken of in Vienna, but it is not known who will obtain it. The Prince cud l'rincess of Deninatk are to have apartments assigned to them in the King's cottage, in Windsor Park, or in Cumberland Lodge, which is contigeius to it, during the Ascot Heath races; and in case the young Princess should accompany her brother to Ergland, Mr. Nash will resign that part of the lodge, occupied by him at present, fur the accommodation of the Royal visitors.

Madrid papers to the 29th April have been re ceived. The following extracts go far to shew that the French Government is exerting itself to foment disturbances in tloo North of Spain : Muneta, Arnim 22 —ln the night of the 20th, a division of 100 men went in pursuit of the bandit Jaime, who has appeared again at the head of a body of 150 to 200 in number. It seems that the above division, commanded by Capt. Chacon, will be ' joined by 100 men of the regiment of Malaga.— Jaime, with S 6 men, foot and horse, entered J umilla, and overthrew the Stone (of the Constitution) in the sight of the numerous inhabitants, who patiently suffered it. At Beniel, three leagues from this city, the Stone was pulled down in the night by some of the people themselves. At Abanilla and Fortuna, they were expecting that Jaime would do the same, though in these places preparations were making for defence.—Friday's irost from Madrid a as intercepted by Jaime, and yesterday afternoon the letters ar rived, all torn and disordered, which he sufficed to pass. On the same day a report was spread that the image of Jesus of Nazareth sweated blood. Our prudent Bishop preached yesterday, to persuade the people of the filly of believing such a story, which is spread by people who never attended mass in their lives. BARCELONA, Alum 18 —By letters from Figue ras, we know that the band of Mises is increasing daily. The political chief, Don Peral, who had ar rived at that town, was preparing to go in pursuit of him, but the want of troops will probably delay the extermination of the factious. Under such cir cumstances, it seems that one of the regiments in garrison at Barcelona should be employed in this service, but we see with grief that there is no ap pearance that a measure will be taken, which is so urgently called for, to maintain public order and tranquillity in this province. According to the accounts which we receive, the number of factions is considerable, who advance from various parts towards Gerona, armed with English muskets. Their uniform is a scarlet jacket, a cross on the arm, with a crown of laurel, and short velvet breeches. Those assembled about Bettoria are com manded by a priest and a friar. Some affirm that they are recruiting in other parts of the Valles ; and it is also affirmed that many French deserters join them : from all we hear, we inft.r that the conspi racy is more serious than it has been. APRIL 20. E-The letters which we receive by this post from Figueras, Gerona, and Berge, do but con firm the importance of the conspiracy which has been preparing fur some time. Captain Arango, who marched from Figueras, fell in with a party, which he attacked and dispersed, killing two, and taking one prisoner. Misas was at Llarona with 150 men. By accounts front Gerona of the 17th, small bodies of peasants arrived from all quarters to reinforce the Army of the Faith. The night before last 50 men passed by Salrac, going towards Alisac, and last night above 100, by San Gregorio.—The Prefect of I Perpignan has sent word that he does not know that there are any factious Spaniards in his department ; but if there are, they shall be sent out of it. From Berge we hear that the Chief Muntaner has arrived at Paten, coming from Peipignan, with a passport to leave France; he was the head of the insurgents in those parts last September, and his re turn to Spain is doubtless arranged with his parti zans. We know that the authorities yesterday received this news, and we du not doubt but that they wiil be convinced of the importance of what is passing, and that bayonets are the only means to arrest the pmgress of a fitction which is much more formidable than it was on the .25th of last and will daily become inure so, and cause incalcula ble injury, unless troops are sent, and march with the rapidity of lightning to attack them. MAORI', APRIL 19.—S umero us letters have been received front Alicant, Monousa-, Oricheula, and Murcia, relating many excesses committed by Jaime in the provinces of Murcia and Alkant. On the 22d, he appeared a quarter of a league from Ori heula, when 60 men of the first regiment of Cata lonia, and many of the militia went out to attack the banditti, whom they put to flight in a few mi nutes, taking five prisoners, some horses and arms, and u purple standard, with a green cross. 'the most remarkable circumstance in this affair is the change of character which Jaime has assumed, ap pearing as an enemy to the Constitution, atter hav ing been su long a robber on the highway. There are innumerable conjectures on this subject. THE NATIONAL REGISTER LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCIALY. fATURMAY, MAY 11.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH. SATURDAY, MAY 11. TUB IMO V. THE CORPORATION OP BRISTOL. This was a ittanda ttttt s obtained by Mr. Griffiths, late a magistrate of the Sliadwell Police Office, but now at the New Office, Mar)lebotte, ordering the Corporation of Bristol to chew why they refused to restore Mr. Griffiths to the sititation of Steward of the Sheriff's Court, Bristol, from which they had, as he aileged, improperly removed him. The defendants now in their return to the mus, alleged that the duties of the Steward rerptired a constant residence at Bristol; that he ought to hold a Court every week for the trial of causes or issue of rules, and other business, that np to the time of Mr. Griffiths being appointed a Police Magistrate of the metropolis, he had regularly discharged such ditties, bait that, since hat period, in ISIS, he neglected so to do, having amongst other instances of neglect, attended, in 1819, at only five out of Si Courts hidden between June and September, and therefore, after due notice given him, they had re moved him, and proceeded to the election of a new Steward. Mr. Griffiths now, in support of the mandamus, 'con tended that the office of Police Magistrate of the metro polis did not at all interfere with his dirties as Steward of the Sheriff's Court, Bristol, none of which he had ever neglected, and that the Corporation had removed him irregularly, and without cause. The Court, however, held, that on the face of Ibis return it appeared to them Mot the two offices were in. compatible, and therefore, that the Corporation were jastified in reproving Min and proceeding to a new elec tion. If the statement of the Corporation was incorrect, Al r. Griffiths might have his remedy iu au action for a false return. The freeedom of the Corporation of Nottingham has been vuted to Joseph Hume, Esq. M. P. Lon Don Spartlcts CORN EXCHANGE, Mowpar, Mar 11.
