curry _, that in thi4 k!• se decree was renewed three days afterwards, but unfortunately it did not proauce a satisfactory result. The carps of cannomeers that have come here is rather undisciplined. They gut into the gardens and fields, and ("et down indiscriminately the trees they meet with, Which they carry to the city for their owe use. Os the 9th of January, the Paella walking ale g. met twenty Turks armed with hatchets, whom, lie tseased to be taken before him. Soon acterwards'be met, twenty others carrying wood. The Turks, totting punishment, fled, and the Pacha ordered ad this wood to be lodged in the citadel; but the nest morning all the troops, after having consulted together and taken their arms,, joined in one body and went to the castle, of which they took posses sion, firing their nieces in the air as a sign of dis content, and holdinginsolent language. The Go vernment thought it pendent to yield to aircum stances.; •it sent to the mutineers Elea Apt, the .Mufti, and the Cadi, to arrange the aids, and.traus quillity w.ts restored. • On the 14th and 15th some Greek vessels, -em ploye:l to convey away the garrison of Napoli di Bonamia, landed part of the garrison here. About fifty of these soldiers going out into the town, their presence and their accounts caused u considerable fermentation, but no unpleasant consequences fol lowed. On the 26;11, at eight in,the evening, the air re sounded on all sides with the discharge of fire-arms. There was a general alarm in the town, and every Ludy sought refuge in the residence of the Consuls. To the continual discharge of pistols wail midst] u frightful noise, occasioned by loudly and repeatedly staiLing sonorous bodies. At length we learnt that it was nothing but an eclipse of the moon, and that ' all this noise was made to frighten the &begun that • ests ;,ping to devour that lummari. O.t the 27th, a woman was walking in the street with g reen shoes on. Two Turks asked her how she dared to wear such shoes? " Bscause ldo not Isar soul' she replied, and walked on ; upon which cue ut the Turks barbarously fired a pistol at her.; a surgeon extracted the ball, which fortunately did not penetrate very deep. On the 29th, the Paella issued a f , rnial ender that every Greek who should he employed to work in the citadel, or elSewhere, should be regularly r::1.1. He has convoked the I , i - inlets's of the twenty-six mastic villages, and has r.spiired of . irem, for his own justification, a decla rattan that tl*,did not pay this year the tribute of mastic to I therrovernment, which, in its paternal solicitude, excused them fbr it. At the same time infunned them, that next year they would have to nay this:tribute tither au kind or mosey. We, arts at present tranquil. Ipsuro is making preparatiOns.to attack. Wurrestoutto,, APRIL IG.—News having been received that the Pope has refused canonical investi. tura to the liecleslastics proposed by the Protestant Governments to fill the Episcopal Sees in the Eccle siastical Provinces of the Upper Rhine, it has bars judged necessary to summon to Stutgard, for, the purpose of consulting them on this occasion, Mr. Sclunits Grottcnberg, Counsellor of State and Anibusiador to the Cott of Munich, said Mr. Jou 'names, Ecclesiastical Counsellor in liottenburg on the tisane, who were both of them delegates from Wirtemburg at the Ecclesiastical Committee which lOU at Frankfort, fur the organization of the Catho lic Wurshis, and the sat:cation of the Papal Bulls issued on the stlbject. It is well known that the King of Wirtemburg has frequently expressed a wish to :ice this affair finally arranged, and the Court of Stutgard has • taken great pains to accomplish this object. We ore t:terelore curious to learn what our government will resolve on this occasion, as the refusal of the Papal Court to confine ) k their dignity, the Bishops pro posed, the finalmonization of the Catholic Church is u great part-utTrotestant Germany, is again ad jourl,4tl to an indefinite period.

After three nights of heavy debate in the House of Commons upon Mr. Macdonald's motion for a censure upon Ministers, for not going to war to protect Spain—the motion was withdrawn, and Mr. Stuart Wortley's amendment cart ied by an immense majority, which would have amounted to nearly an unanimity, if some Members had nut been shut in the House by chance. This amendment is declar-a tory of the censure o: the aggression of France, and the agitation of the question has afforded an oppor tunity to all parties—to Whigs, Tories, mid Radi cals:to declare the unqualified and undivided con demnation of the villanous principles of The Holy Alliance, as well as the disgust and execrations with which the enormity of France is regarded.—We still think we have to feei gratitude to our Govern ment, for adhering to its pacific resolution. Madrid Papers of the 15th ult. have just arrived. Count Abisbal is titling active measures to disperse .and punish the rebels that infest that district. His army consists of nearly 16,000 men, and probably will soon come in contact with the force under Quesada, should it approach the citadel. The hitherto unresisted progress of the French arises from the premeditated and judicious policy of the commanders of the Spanish army. The further the French advance, the more will be their embar rassment and the difficulty of obtaining resources. Not the least hint is given of the movements or of of Mina, but should Ballus►cros form a junction with him, Marshal Moncey and his divi sion will soon find themselves in jeopardy. The sudden dissolution of the impudent and self-elected " Supreme Junta," which accompanied the Duke of Angouleme, and which has been ordered by him to cease its functions, has dismayed their ad herents, as their artogaat proclamations have dune .0. , . infinite mischief titistiVren el cause, which is do., -becoming mare and more unpopular in Spain. .-. • . The vast expences of France in prosecuting the lis. • sent odious war of aggression, are estimated ,t4liik t , . • thousand pounds sterling per diem. This is very probable, as they can draw no resources from Spain, and must depend totally on those drawn from their own country. lhe best battle the Constitutionalists can fight at present is to endeavour to intercept the supplies in evesY.dixection for the -French army, as this would be'a stiri Of warfare .perfectly agreeable to the insurgent banditti, who are regardless whom they rub and plunder, whether friends or enemies, Notwithstanding all the pulling and boasting of the trench Ultra .papers, the aflitirs of Spain present an animating and Satisfactory appearance. Letters dated 21st ult. were received on• Thursday from Passages, a small village on the coast of Spain, closely adjoining St. Sebastian's. No official accounts appear to have been circulated there of the celebrated sortie of the 9thj but the letters state that the Spaniards behaved in the noblest manner, and that the loss of the French on that occasion to have been between 700 and 800 men.— It is added, subsequently to the 9th three other sorties had been made by the garrison, in which, though compelled to retire within the fort, the Spanish troops greatly distinguished Ow— Of these, it should be observed, no notice has ap. peared in the French papers. The number of the garrison of St. Sebastian's amounted to 9,0013 men, and they were stipplied with provisions for five months. The French army, it is said, on their first entering Spain, had rendered Themselves extremely o'moxious to the inhabitants by cutting down the apple tiees for fuel, with which the country near the coast abounds ; but had afterwards cstabli,hed better discipline, and paid liberally for every snide for the consumption of the army. Letters from Rio Janeiro of the 24th of February represent a considerable degree of distrust to prevail among the public generally, as to the designs of the new Imperial Court, which is suspected of certain' legitimate propensities, not over-favourable to the interests or integrity of the Constitution. If any attempt to restore, or rather to continue, despotic power, be exhibited, great confusion, it is said, will take place, there being a strong party for a republic, and many of the provinces more than hail inclined to break off the connexion with Rio Janeiro, and to set each upon its own bottom. The installation of the Cortes was looked for on the 26th of February, and mtr:t evil anticipated io case of that event be ing any longer postponed. An embassy was to proceed to N'ienna, to announce to the Emperor Francis the birth of a grand-daughter, on the 17th of February ; and, perhaps, besides that formal ob ject, to feel the pulse of the'Cabinet of _Vienna, touching a recognition of the independence of Brazil upon the mother country. Portugal being now in bad odour with the Holy Allianee, the time has probably not been ißchosen for such a diplomatic esneriment.—We have received a copy of a Go verment proclamation, or rather address, to the Brazilians, the tenour of which corroborates the in telligence transmitted by the private letters. In other respects, it is only remarkable for its declama tion against those who Are supposed to be inimical to the measures of " Pedro, the incomparable hero. the perpetual defender, the demi-god of Brazil." The parties in opposition to the Government arc characterized as " Carbonari," and " partisans of the disorganizing Cortes of Lisbon." It is asserted that Deputies are'daity arriving from the provinces, and that the Constituent Assembly will soon be in stalled, notwithstanding that the vile calumniators continue to say that " the Emperor and Ids Minis• ters are despots—that they w:dit no constitution, and that if one be framed, it will be something to suit themselves." There is a certainty of his Majesty's visiting • Portsmouth during the summer. He will embark in the Royal George, the officers of the Apollo having been appointed to her, the officers of the Royal George having most of them other appointments. The moorings ordered to be l.id down will be at Spithead, Cowes, and Southampton water, it being the King's intention to keep in smooth water,within the Wight, at the recommendation of Sir W. Knighton.
