11AMBURG11 PAPERS. MUNICH, JUNE 15.—The measures adopted by the Bavarian Government, in imposing very heavy duties on all articles coming from France, have now been officially published, and take effect immediately. The addition made to the duties is on the average 400 per Cent.! These duties to be levied without regard to the state from which they are imported into the kingdom ; only some exceptions will be made to those neighbouring states which shall adopt ►imilar measures. The transit of articles through Bavaria are to be allowed as heretofore, on payment of the established duties. CONSTANTINOPLE., NI AY 26.—A cry of horror will resound throughout Europe when the new cruelties in Seio are made known. All arc massacred. Even the 78 prelates who were detained as hostages have been cut to pieces in the fort. The generous French Consul, Digeon, is the must to bepitied. Ile had gone into the villages and proclaimed the Turki►h amnesty, and at the same time pledged 1 ' self tiff the Sultan's giving pardon. The inhabitants en this surrendered all their arms, on which the Asiatics fill on 13 villages and executed a general massacre. All fell without defence under the sword of the Turks, who behaved with the most refined cruelty. The whole island is a sepulchre : the few women and children who were sheltered in the French Con sulate arc hi the deepest misery. Some Greeks still combat in the mountains, but their destruction is certain. These events have excited such terror here, that nobody now ventures to intercede for a Greek family, for fear of being included in the same pro scription. SEMLIN, JUNE 3.—Letters from Bitoglia of May 23d have been received at Belgrade, from which it ap, ears that consternation prevails in that part of the country. The Turks arc adrincinr , in great force towards Larissa. The agents of the English arc said to have succeeded in inducing the Suliots and Albanians to submit to Chourschid Paella, who will soon effect his junction with the Paella of Salonichi, to march through Livadia against the Nlorea. De cisive events may therefore soon be expected in these parts. Nothing but a miracle can save the Greeks, us affairs now stand. It is affirmed that the opera tions of the Turks, both by sea and land, are directed by English officers, amid that they have promised en tirely to quell the insurrection of the Greeks before the termination of the negotiations with Russia. OPERATIONS IN COLOMBIA. The following official documents relating to the recapture of Coro, and the operations of the Colom- Lian army against Porto Cabello, arc translated from lute Venezuelian pope's. CARACCAS, APRIL e 9 . —The main body of the Republican army, under the command oi Colonel Pinango, took up their march on the Ist inst. and established their quarters in Jam:l on the 96. — Pinang°, with 4UO light infantry and 40 cavalry, occupied Curamelx) on the t ith, without opposition. lie returned to Jacma on the ISth, to direct the 'movements of the rest of his army, who began their march on that day, and were to have entered Coro on the 15th. Colonel Vagas, who leas been reinfinced by 600 volunteers, commanded by Gen. Torellas, has been directed to move onwards to the Pcdregal, to divert the attention of the enemy in that dire: Lion. • Cu!. Hems with the column of Zulia, will operate in the rear of the enemy, and three other detach. ments will spread themselves along the deserts be tween Carigua and the ports of Attagracia. Morales will move against Colonel Pinang(); he will leave a part of his army to cope with Colonel I leras. Should he come towatds Coro with ',the smallest part of his force, thinking that we only intend to divert him fi•um Maracttib7) with the 4.00 Such who occupy Cumarchn, he will most assuredly be rut to pieces. Should he move with the main body of his troops, the corps of Saha and l'edregal will destroy any fine remaining us a rear guard, and will fall on his rear. - Our operations have been heretofore fortunate, and promise complete success. The enemy having nu vessels to transport his troops into Porto Cabello, will not seek the coast where we are blockading the division in Maracaibo, and we shall possibly exterminate the krocious cue►ny of our tranquillity and happiness. Subsequent to the foregoing, Captain Bums has arrived with despatches, giving uu account of the battle fought at Chiparo on the 17th instant, which • states that Col. l'inungo, with his division, brought the enemy, mu:ceiling 500 men, commanded by Col. Tell°, to close action, and ga►ned a complete victory over thew, taking two uhicers and eighty men pri sners, with 130 muskets, besides killing and wounding a very great number. Colonel Tello and Commandant Arbuthnot, with only twenty men es rain.ll; they were closely pursued. Our loss was contracatively Wit:ling.—This places Curo and L t Vela in the possession of the patriots—will oblige General Morales to come to a 6eucral action, With -• • Tim NATIONAL REGISTER every probability of its terminating in our favour ; it frees Maracaibo from the apprehension of mi in vader, and enables Colonel Heras to operate on the vanguard of the enemy the moment it is put in motion SIEGI•. OT PORTO CAM:L.I.O BY THE PATRIOTS. Rya hnlletiu, Rated at ;,;eneral quarters in Borbu rata, the 12th of April, it appears that the Patriot Commander-in-Chief was actively engaged in recon noitering the enemy, and adopting the most judici ous plans for his annoyance. The general was cutting off every possible supply, investing several adjacent towns and positions with his troops, and keeping a naval force on the coast to intercept all communication with the royalists.

The question of the interference with, and the countenance affurded to, " The Beacon," and other infamous periodical publications iu Scotland on the part of the Lora Advocate, came before the House of Commons on Tuesday evening, on the motion of Mr.Abercronabie, for a Committee of Inquiry—in our political experience we have seldom seen a stronger case made out, nor ever witnessed so feeble, so inef fectual an attempt at defence, or even palliation, of a line of conduct which is calculated to pollute the very sources whence Justice ought to flow—so far as a public character was the Lord Advocate's con duct highly censurable—we meddle not beyond that point, and therefore pause not to enquire how far a turn's private character fur honesty and gentlemanly fueling may be affected, by incontrovertible proof:, being adduced that he had lent his influence and his purse to !inward a publication which was, from its commencement to its end, devoted to falsehood, ca lumny, and misrepresentation. The House of Com mons, however, by majority of 25, decided that no inquiry should take place—a decision which we regret, because, in the estimation of the rational and thinking part of society, one such vote will degrade and sink the I louse of Commons more than all that the writings of the Radical l'ress could have achieved in an age—one such vote declares louder than a million of voices that the House of Commons wants reform, and must be reformed by some means or other—by force or by argument—by concession or compulsion. The motion for the repeal of the Ministerial Pen sion Bill gave rise to as warm a debate as we re member.—The Marquis of Londunderry seemed to have forgotten that he was not in the Irish House of Commons, that theatre of his &me, and bite wel a little of his ability for the part of Bobadil—Mr. Brougham, however, administered a portion of seve rity to him which doubtless restored him, and con vinced him that the English House of Commons will not receive bullying in place of argument—a great deal was said upon the indelicacy of alluding to the shameful pension of Lord Sidruouth, and the infamous sinecures held by his family; in reply to which we beg to quote some observations made by a very able writer, alluding at once. to a time of dis tress and to the disgraceful pensionings of Mr. Can ning's mother and sisters and other " near and dear relatives"—" If some better remedy than the jocu larity of Mr. Canning is not applied, an end wilt soon be put to his pension, and to the pension of those near and dear relatives,' for whose eating, drinking, washing, and clothing, every man in the ITnitcd Kingdom now pays his two-pence a year.— You may call these observarions coarse if you please; but I have no idea that the Sophias, and the Caro- Lacs of any man breathing arc to cat national veal, to drink public tea, to wear treasury ribbons, and then, that we are to be told that it is coarse to ani madvert upon this pitiful, and eleemosynary splen dour. If this is right, why not mention it ? It' it wrong why should not he who enjoys the case of supporting his sisters in this manner bear the shame of it? Every body seems hitherto to have spared a man, who never spares any body." It' men will pauperize their children and themselves on the earn ings of a distressed, oppressed, and suffering people, they surely cannot be too much upbraided with it— tenderness towards Lord Sithuouth's son has been invoked, because he is either an idiot or a lunatic— his father should have ceased to take 7501. every quarter of a year out of the public purse fur his son and this his calamity might have remained unknown The carriage and horses belonging to the Dukc of York were seized under an execution for debt, as they were leaving the Palace on the late Court-day. The carriage and harness were sold on Wednesday last for 991.—the horses have been redeemed by one of his sisters. On Wednesday, the purser of the Kent East In. diaman landed at Lymington, with despatches fur the Company. These state, we understand, that the differences which have existed between the Chi nese Government and the British interests have beets amicably settled. The Mandarin who went on board the Topazc frigate to see the wounded men, as we suspected, was the precursor to the arrange ment. It was not likely that a quarrel would long continue, when it was to the advantage of both parties to be at peace. The Kart sailed from China on the 26th of February. The election of a member to represent King's Lynn, in Norfolk, in consequence of Lord Orford having succeeded the Peerage, commenced on Thurs day last—a serious row took place, and the mayor, after having adjourned the polling to Friday morn ing, sent off to Norwich for the military to keep the peace. The immense bronze statute of Achilles reached its destination on Friday in Hyde Park, and is to be placed there to commemorate the battle of Waterloo. We cannot conceive how Achilles is applicable to that victory. The Bank of Ireland will, it is said, follow the example of the Bank of England , and nduce the discounts to Four ter cent. ." .11
