We have this morning received by. Express from Paris, a copy of the following Telegraphic Despatch : "VIITTORIdt, MAT 4, 7 O'CLOCK AT NIGIIT.—" The Major General to the Minister at War.—The Head quarters of the Army will be removed to morrow to Miranda." Paris papers had previously arrived to the 7th instant, but brought no accounts from the army later than the telegraphic despatch of the 2d, which states, that "the advanced guard of General Molito has proceeded to Fraga. The Royalist garrison of Mequinenza has occu pied the fort and city of Alcaniz. Ballasteros has re tired from Catalayud on Daroca. Many battalions of the Royalist Spaniards are forming at Saragossa."— These papers add, therefore, nothing of con seqnence to our information relative to military affairs in the Peninsula, except the news of the occupation of Valladolid by the band of the Curate Me rino, after the place had been evacuated by the Constitu tionalists. It is reported that a deputation from Madrid was on its way to the head quarters' taf the Duke of An- ' gouleme ; but this report, which is only given in a pri vate letter, is not entitled to much credit, as other ac counts state that Count Ahisbal still remained in his po sition in front of the capital, so as to render all commu nications with the advancing enemy impossible. There are other rumours of different kinds in these papers, but they appear so improbable as not to be worth stating.— From a Toulouse paper it appears that Marshal Moncey has some expectation of treachery in the garrison of Fi gueras. An article dated Perpignan, April 28, says— " It is asserted that a decided misunderstanding exists in the garrison of Figueras. One party would give it up, and the other is date mined to defend it ; it is reported to-day that the Governor leas been assassinated. It is ' certain that if our corps of the army, since the eleven I days that it has penetrated into Catalonia, has not ad. I ' , sawed as much as it was able, it is because its Com- I mander has positive reason to expect the surrender of this important place. The head quarters of the Marshal I ate constantly at Peralada, and we occupy that part of the Catalonian territory which extends from Figueras to Rosas ; it appears, however, that the movement will com mence today.--General Curial, at the head of 8,000 men, purposes to go and attack the Constitutional troops, who are reinforced by the arrival of various goer. rillas.. It is therefore probable that in a few days we shall hear of a serious action, unless Mina falls back on Barrelona. The town of Figueras, which is occupied by the division of-Damas, has already been much da maged by the cannonade from the fort. ' An establish mert is under organization - for the provisioning of the army. It is expected every moment that the garrison of the fort of Figueras, which seems disposed to abandon the cause of the Constitutionalists, will surrender it. The Marshal wishes greatly. and with reason, to carry this place before he marches forward. A commercial house in this town reported yesterday for certain that our troops have reached Girona, and were in the direc tion of Olot."—" According to reports, says the Etoile, which appear to be but too well-founded, the army has to regret the loss of one of its bravest officers, Colonel Mul ler, who is said to have died of his wounds. The Mora tear boasts that on the 24th ult. two brigadiers of l'Orne Masseurs, in garrison at Verdun, arrested and carried before the Mayor of that town, Jean Francois Cartier, aged 19, a discharged soldier, styling himself enfant de troupe Orphclin. He had, in a public-house at Verdun, addressed these brave soldiers in seditious language, showing them an eagle with which his arm was tat. tooed. The Duchess of Angouleme arrived at Mont. auban on the 2d instant. On the sth Count Puzzo di Borgo, the Russian ambassador, despatched a courier ex traordinary for Petersburg. A letter from Frankfurt on the Oder,datedApril 15th, says " It is quite true that Russia is assembling an army of observation on the fron tiers of the kingdom of Poland—an army, it is said, of nearly 120,000 men ; but it is believed that it has for its °sly object the offering an imposing guarantee for the maintenance of public tranquillity in Germany, and even in France, and that it will of course be disbanded as the progress of the French arms shall have restored order and peace in Spain.

STOCK Elea ascot, May 9.—Consols opened this morn ing at 7914, and went down to 44, at which price they are now steady.

American papers have this morning arrived to the 9th April, from which the following is an extract:— Mextco.—We learn from Captain Holland from Vera Cruz, that the country continued in an unsettled taste. The Republic partizan Chiefs were concentrating their forces at Peubla for the purpose of attacking the Em peror of Mexico. It was the general opinion, however, that there would be no fighting, and that the Emperor would seek his personal safety by flight, or make some arrangements with the Republicans, by which he might be permitted to retire as a private citizen. Charleston papers have also arrived this morning, the 29th March, from which we extract the following : nom Minacetso, 30th Jam—The Colombian Block ading Squadron under the command of Commodore Be lope consisting of 17 sail,bleckaded Maracaibo,so that no vessel could enter or leave that place. A few days pre vious to the arrival of Captain Storm at Santa Martha, the place had been taken by General Montelly, after an obstinate contest in which the Royalists lust 500 men, and the Colombians about 150. Several of the leaders of the Royalists were shot, and about 80 others were sent in irons on board the Prison ships. FROM La Outaa--Thepolitical state of the Country is of the most pleasing kind. Morales has sent a flag of truce to this place with prisoners. This morning Bayonne, Dutch and Flanders papers have come to hand. At Bayonne, ou the Ist of May they state that there is but little news that is interesting The heavy artillery was not yet brought up before St. Sebastian and Pampelnna, and these places were by no means closely invested. It is said that the soldiers wounded before St. Sebastian and at, Logrono, are going to be sent to Bayonne. Persons who have seen them pretend that there iv a pretty considers ble number of them at Vittoria, 400 at least, belonging to the "4th regiment. It is reported in a manner nearly official, that Colonel Muller has died of his wounds.— The troops that were at Jaca, it is said, have joined Ballasteros, who has bad a pretty smart action on the Ebro, with the rear-guard of General Molitor. The first Guerilla party has appeared near Salinas, and has taken part of a convoy of military effects, :on its way to the army. Certain news has been received that the Portuguese General, Rego, has entered Spain, with 6.000 infantry And 2,400 cavalry.— It is observed that it cannot be denied that the French army advances, but this can hardly be called a conquest, where there is no enemy to vanquish ; since be seems to Ay, as if it is his intention to draw the army to the ground which lie has chosen to fight upon. This makes the soldiers march with the greatest precaution, ex. pecting- every moment to be attacked. Meantime the Prince does not seem to be so convinced es he was as first, of the facility of a conquest by the assistance of the population, which gives him no succour. The Army of the Faith has not increased it was expected to do, nor have the Constitutional troops deserted their colours. Letters in the Flanders papers from Bayonne,ofthe 27th ult. say, that the Spaniards have collected a considerable force in the mountains of Guadarama, which separate Old from New Castile, and that they seem to intend to make an obstinate resistance there. The French army under Napoleon, forced these passes, which opened the way to Madrid. The affecting strnggles in which the Greeks are er. gaged, have raised up various Societies in Germany, Switzerland, and France, for the purpose of advancing their cause. While the attempts of the Greeks were suited within a narrow circle, and it seemed probable they would be inyantly crushed by the Ottoman power ; while it was uncertain whether there was a single ele ment of successful opposition to Minutiae') tyranny, it might be doubted how far it was prudent or justifiable to encourage a struggle which might have aggravated the evils it was intended to remove. But the war has now changed its character. It is clear it can end in nothing but in the independence or the absolute annihi lation of the Greek people. if the Turks could not put down the insurrection in its early stages, when the Greeks possessed neither arms nor military knowledge, nor strong holds, nor regular government, whit can they do now against a renovated nation supported by the active sympathy of the Christian world, when nearly the whole of Southern Greece has been freed, and the Greeks are making continual progress? In England, the sublime spectacle of a nation awakening into light and freedom, could not but be regarded with sympathy and admiration ; and at length a numerous Committee was formed of the friends of Greece, who think the time arrived in which it is right to make a public appeal. This Committee, it appears, have been for some time occupied in deliberating on the best means of promoting so noble a cause. They had opened a direct communication with the existing autho rities of the Mores. They bad also been actively en gaged in correspondence with the different continental Committees ; and believing that they had now ascertain ed the most effective means of assisting the objects of their solicitude, they have determined on calling a Public Meeting to be held next week, aiq have, in the mean time published an address to solicit the co-operation of the British nation. We are hap py to hear that the King was yesterday con sidered in so im proved a state, that there is every likeli hood of his hlajesty being able to hold a Drawing-room in the course of next week. It is also his Majesty's inten tion to pay visits to the King's Theatre, Drury-lane, and Covent garden.—(Morning Post.) Yesterday the Lord Chancellor had an audience of his M sleety. The Duke of York visited the Kin yesterday. Yesterday Prince Leopold had a numerous dinner party at Marlborough-house. Among the company were, Lord Lynedoeh, Lord Prudhoe, Lord Graves, Mr. Huskisson, Sir Wm. -Congreve, &c. Gen. Pepe took his• departure from the metropolis on Wednesday for the Peninsula, there to join the contest for the common cAuse of liberty. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Phila delphia, dated 4th of April.—" We have had a dreadful storm, but nothing has come to my knowledge within my district, in which the English underwriters are interested. Letters of the 2tith ult. received yesterday from Pas. sages (a mile and a hail from St. bebastian), mention that the garrison continue in high health ant( spirits, being very little incommoded by the French. Prbvisions were plentiful, as besides the depots. they were regularly supplied by the Trincadores, a kind of coasting vessels. Letters from Vittoria of the 30th, complain very loudly of the acts of vengeance and oppression committed there by the Royalists under the protection of the French.— Many private individuals, having influence, or known to be favourable to the free institutions of their country, have been thrown into prisons ; and others, in order to escape from outrages of this kind, are dying to France COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

Yesterday an Adjourned Meeting of Catholic Gentlemen was held at Dempsey's, Sacks'lle-street. Sir EDWARD Bet.xew In the Chair. Mr. Wou Lee stated, that he had been entrusted with the heads of au Address to his Majesty from the Catholics of Ireland, for the purpose of preparing an Address from it ; that he had made some progress in it. but that he would not be able to produce it to the Committee before Friday morn ing. It was probable, that when laid before the Committee, it would require revision and alteration, as it should be read Paragraph by paragraph; and when approved of, it should he submitted by the Committee to a General Meeting of the Requisitionists, to be held previous to :he Aggregate Meet ing, for their approval. Under these circumstances, he would suggest to the Meeting to consider whether it would be advisable to postpone the Aggregate Meeting from Sa turday to some future day. Ile did not intend to move any resolution on the subject ; he merely threw out the idea for the consideration of the Gentlemen present. Mr. JAMES DWYER moved, that a resolution of thanks to the friends of Catholic emancipation in the House of Com mons, should be proposed at the approaching Aggregate Meeting. This resolution was carried unanimoesly. Mr. O'Connell moved two resolutions ; the first was, that en association should he formed, whose objects should be to forward the cause of Catholic emancipation, and to counter act the calumnies industriously circulated against the Ca tholics ; the second, that such association should not take or assume any delegated or representative authority. Mr. SEEM spoke at some length, and with great anima tion, in support of these resolutions; they passed unani mously. Mr. O'Costgaix said, that it would be necessary at the Aggregate Meeting, to give Lord Donoughmure some in structions relative to the petition which had been entrusted to his Lordship to present to the House of Lords. That Gentleman moved a resolution to the above effect, coupled with one of thanks for his Lordship's advocacy of the Ca tholic Cause. An amendment was moved to this resolution, end it was ultimately resolved, that both the resolution and the amend ment should be referred for consideration to the Committee. It was suggested by some Gentlemen, that an Adjourn ment of the Aggregate Meeting to next Tuesday would be advisable; an adjournment to Saturday week was also pro posed ; this led to much discussion, many Gentlemen speak ing strongly against any adjournment. The discussion ter minated by an adjournment of the Aggregate Meeting, from Saturday the 10th inst. to Thursday the 15th inst. being moved and seconded. This resolution was alterwards with drawn. Mr. Hums O'Conxoa intimated to the Meeting, that they could have the use of either the Metropolitan Chapel, or the Chapel in Townsend-street. The latter seemed to meet the general wish of the Meeting. The Meeting, after thanks to the Chairman, adjourned. The Green Park Lodge, it appears, is held by Lady Wil liam Gordon, muter a lease from the Crown, granted in 1790, for two lives (Lord and Lady William Gordon) or 50 or 57 years, at an annual rent. The Garrick library, which before the sale had been es timated as worth about 1,9.001., on account of the auto graphs of Mr. Garrick, and other celebrated persons of his time, absolutely sold for upwards of 2,0001. On Sunday morning, says the Edinburgh Star, part of the ground at the foot of the west bank of the Herthen Mound, from the swampy nature of the ground, stink 9 or 10 fret, which, undermining the bank, a considerable quantity of the earth fell down on the gardens below, covering part of a told and a portion of ground tinder cultivation. Another Edinborgh paper says, that the Earthen Mound itself is known to have sunk so much that it has been calculated that nearly as touch of it is below the level of the North Loch as what vow appears above it. A Paper of this morning contains the following ex tract of a letter from Paris, dated May 6, Five o'clock : —The report of yesterday is confirmed, though nothing is said about in in the Papers.—tieneral Molitor has been attacked by Ballasteros, in the neighbourhood of Tu dela, and has been obliged to evacuate Saragossa. Two regiments have been completely destroyed. Molitor is re treating to join D'Angouleme's army.—The French AI i eistry are about to contradict this evening, in the &elle, the reports that have been raised for some days past, of negociations with the Spaniards.

COVENT GARDEN THEATEL—Last night, a ROW Ope ra in three acts was produced at this 'theatre, entitled Cluri; or The Maid of Milan." This Opera pos-1 WWI a great deal of merit. The music is the composi tion of Mr. Bishop, and passing by a few defects, there is a general character of richness and genius about the whole; and some of the pieces are scientific, original, and elegant. There is a great and well-regulated variety io the songs, and Mr. Bishop's success has not been at all confined to a particular style. The first song of Miss Tam is one of the most beautiful specimens of simplici ty and pathos that we have ever heard. The piece is a translation, and its interest and general character are I quite of the Continental cast. The story is th it of a vir tuous country girl who leaves her parents, deceived by the file promises of a young Nobleman, but eventually escapeawithout dishonour from his castle, returns to her home, and is reconciled to her fattier. Miss TREE play ed the heroine, and in so powerful a manner as to leave it doubtful whether her acting, or the enchanting beauty of her vocal exertions created the deepest hoprossions on the audience. Fawcett, as the father, was remarkably tine in the last scene. The Opera has been brought out with the greatest magnificence. The Chorusses are more elfitieat than we ever heard them. The scenery was partly new, and very appropriate. One scene represent tog a village in Switzerland, with the glaciers in the back ground, was exceedingly beautiful. On the an nouncement of this Opera for performance this evening, long and londplaudits, accompanied with waving of hats, 'stifled theapprobatien of a house crowded in every part.
