By the Pazi ,, Papers of Friday we learn that the first five artrcies of the atrocious Law of Sacrilege have been adop:ed by the Chamber of Deputies without amendment. In the Suing on Thursday it WM': oppwed in a vigotous speech by M BEI4J• KIN Con:is...kir, in the course of which he appropriately illustrated the danger of the proposed law, by referricg to tea mischief self-indicted by a student of Dole, in order that he might represnit himself as an object of hatred to the enemies of the Jesuits, amongst whom he was dnirous of entotht.g himself. " Could it be doubted," the Deputy asked, "that a fanatic of the same stamp would commit an act of profanation in urder to charge it upon a heretic 1" This speech, however, made no im pennon on the Chamber, by which the only disposition manifested with respect to the project, was an attempt to iceman its sanguinary severity by expungitot the qualify ing words which require that the act of profanation should be committed, not only voluntarily, but through hatred and contempt of religion. The Keeper of the Seals, in op posing the amendment, asked emphatically, supposing ; an overt act, -committed even voluntarily, on the sacred vessels or their ccnallerated contents, and yet clearly not committed through hatred or contempt of religion, what j.idge or rather what emattioner would date to pus wmtassee upon the oniding party ? The intolerant orders lately Motet by Ste new Valhi al us Cpsff, the Arch bishop of Roues, were also cited in the discussion as another proof of the danger necessarily resulting from this law, of giving to dogmatists the power of applying the penalties of criminal law. The proposed indemnity to the emigrants is still under discussion in the Chamber of Peers. On Wednesday the Duke DE CDOISEUL delivered an address which has produced a deep and general sensation in France. The following are the amendments be has moved : Art. I. Thirty millions of rentea, constituting a capital of NO millions, shall be allotted to those Frenchmen who have cape , tienced losses in consequence of the Revolution. 2. Of this sum fifteen millions of renter shall be appropriated to those Frenchmen who were proprietors of funded property, or of estates situated in France. or in territories belon*ing to France, on the lit January 179 2 , and which have been confiscated or alienated lo execution of the laws respecting the emigrants and persona exiled by the Revolution. This indemnity shall amount to the third pert of the value of the confiscated estates ; it shall be definitive; and in no case can there for this purpose be appropriated a greater bum than the one mentioned in the present Article. 3. The remaining fifteen millions of rented shall be distributed to those Frenchmen who have experienced losses in La Vendee, at Lyons, Toulon. and other places. in proportion to the losses of each. The Government shall, at the approaching Session, present the statement of these losses, and propose the division of the in demnity. - - - The Etoile of Saturday reports that Lord STIANCITORD will attend the conferences at Milan respecting Greece, ani that the Duke na L'l Kr...wrap° will also be there, as Ambassador Extraordinary of the King of SPAIN ! The presence of a Spanish Minister to discuss the Greek ques tion would be highly diverting. Of course his Catholic Majesty could not deny the Sublime Porte to reciprocate the compliment by sending a Minister to debate the re cognition of South American independence. FR LIMN Fu DS.—Pant s.

In the German Papers which arrived yesterday, we have some very interesting, though not very recent, intelligence, relative to Greek affairs. The Egyptian Admiral. last•at. GIBRALTAR, died on his return to Alexandria, and it ap pear that his master, the Viceroy of EGYPT, is not disposed to make much exertion in aid of what he doubtless regards as a hopeless contest. The troops landed at Motion are stated to be only two thousand in number ; but it is resolved by the Turkish Commanders that the Mores shall be invaded, provided, we suppose, that no obstacle shall again frustrate their intentions. We have no ap prehensions for the issue of the campaign that is about to commence. But the most interesting part of this intelligence consists of two Notes that pasta at the close of last year between EODIOS, the Secretary of the Provisional Government of Greece, and Mr. CANNING, on the subject of the insolent Note issued by the Russian Government respecting the brave efforts of the Greeks to conquer their independence. The letter of M. RODIOS to the British Minister is written in that high and eloquent strain of heroic patriotism which has distinguished his countrymen during their glorious struggle for deliverance from the detestable yoke of the Ottomans. Contrasting themselves with the people of South America, the Greeks , justly pretest against being "excluded from the list of civilised nations, and delivered up to the caprice of either Russia or Turkey ;" and certainly, if the exertions of the Greeks and South Americans be comparatively considered, there can be no doubt that if tee achievements of each people were the proper criterion of their claims to recog nition as an independent Power, the former are tenfold more entitled than the latter to be deemed and constituted a free nation. The Greek Secretary nobly vindicates his compatriots, and therefore we quote his own words: "They have impressed the stamp of disgrace on Turkish weakness; they have proved that they are worthy to be free; they do not contend against their Mother Country, but against a foreign people that occupied their country (by the right of brute force alone) and treated their children as slaves. The Greeks, to the astonishment of all nations, suddenly shook off the yoke of the barbarians. They commenced the war without means to carry it on, convinced that they could not assert their independence without innume rable sacrifices. They conquered fortified towns, and a number of posts which were in the hands of their ferocious despots. In several actions they have defeated the nu merous cud formidable fleets of Turkey with small mer chantmen. They have established laws like those of civi lized nations. They have formed a Government, and sub mitted to its commands. Can it then be doubted that the Greeks are worthy of independence ?" We might go on and transcribe the whole letter, every passage of which is equally eloquent and impressive. Mr. Caesteo's answer is that of an enlightened and liberal Statesman. In a document, such as he was at that moment writing, it was his duty to explain his views as a politician, not to express I his feelings as a man. If he had had only to give utterance to his ardent aspirations for Greek liberty, no task would have been less difficult or more desirable to him. The earliest labours of his pen were devoted to the regeneration of Greece, and we are sure that no pulse beats more truly in her cause titan that of our accomplished and eminent Secretary . for Foreign Affairs. In delivering his sentiments, therefore, as the Minister of a great Power, bound by the sacred ties of alliance not only to the State of whose interference the Greeks complained, but to that against which they are struggling, we observe him anxious only to manifest equally his sense of the political obligations imposed upon him by the pre-exigent treaties between England and the other Stews, and at the same time his determination to secure Greece all her belligerent rights. Mr. CANNING laments that the opposite extreme, of the pretensions of the combatants almost precludes the hop of acceptable and effectual mediation. In reply to the solicitation of aid from the British Government, the Right Honourable Gentleman refers to the strict neutrality observed in the contest between Spain and her late American Colonic, and he assures the Greeks that they may depend upon the continuance of the same neu treiity during their war with the Turks. Ile adds, that 1 " Great Britain will take no part in any attempt to impose upon Greece by force, a plan for the re-establishment of peace contrary to its wishes, if such a plan should ever be proposed ; but," he continues, " should the Greeks think it advisable to ask our mediation, we wig offer it to the Porte, and if it is accepted, we will neglect nothing to make it effectual."" Mr. CANNING says truly, that this is all that can be reasonably required of the British Govern ment, connected as it is skit the Porte by ancient treaties, which that Power has never riolati d.

Saturday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council, which had been previously summoned by order of Earl Bathurst, the Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, assembled at the Foreign Office in Dowring-street, which was at tended by all the Cabinet Ministers, except the Earl of Westmorland and Mr. Secretary Canning. The Cabinet continued in deliberation "bout five o'clock. At the very time when Mr. Secretary Peel is engaged in the.praiseworthy task of amplifying our laws, and com bining all the former and misting enactments, on any particular subject, in one Act of Parliament, we see the old errors committed in Bills row before the House. One of these lies before us, and is a Bill " for further regulating the payment of the Salaries of bis Majesty's Courts in Indic, and the Bishop of Calcutta ; and for authorising the transportation of °Welders from the Island of St. Helena!"

In the Celorshiann of the 'zail of February, there is an interesting correspondence between General Paez, Cjl7l - of the Department of Venezuela, and Captain Dupotet, commanding a division of French vessels of war on that station, which was blockading Puerto Cabello. The ground of this alleged blockade is stated by the French officer to be the refusal of the public authorities at Puerto Cabello, to make restitution to the Captain of the French ship Urania, for the merchandise taken from him. and also to indemnify him for the injury he had sustained in cons;nnence of such illegal capture. At the same time Capt. Dupwet denies that his " cruise in front of Puerto Cabello" can he considered as a blockade, and refers, as a proof that it s no!, to the free passage, to and fro, which he permits to the commerce, and vessels of war, of Co lombia. II? also anxiously disclaims all hostile dispo sition totvards Colombia on the part of the French Go vernment ; but requires, first, that the Government of the Republic !hall decide, within a given time, on the subject of the ship Urania ; and, secondly, that it shall give orders to its privateers, not to detain French vessels. Upon the assurance of General Pact, that these two points will be conceded, he expresses his willingness to depart; other wise he must await instructions from the Governor of Mar tinique, and from the Admiral commanding the West India station. General Pa; z replies, that it is impos.iilde any public functionary can pledge himself to the line of conduct his Government may think fit to adopt ; but, as the requisition of Captain Dapatet appears to him to be reasonable, and in unison with the principles thc Colom bian Government hag already avawed, he en;:ages to 'anew his application in behalf of his claims, and lie hopes this communication will enable Captain Depotet to arras ;c his ulterior operations. There the matter rested at the date of the last advices. PAPERS. [From the £kilc dated Saturday. :'I•REMBEROH, APRIL 10. There is a report ilea!

INSTALLATION of Mr BISHOP of BARBADOES. We published on Saturday, from the Jamaica Gar.ethr an interesting description of the installation of the Bishop of that diocese. From a lately 'received number of the Barbadian, we extract the following account of the instal lation of the Bishop of Barbadots. It will be read, we are acre, with great satisfaction by all those who feel any in.. terest in the welfare of our West Indian Colonies : " On Saturday morning, the 29th of Jan unry, at 11 o'clock, the Bishop left his Majesty's yacht Herald, under a salute from the shipping, and landed at the upper stepping stones of the wharf, where he was received 1w a guard of honour of the 39th Regiment. Four companies of the Royal Regiment of Militia. under the com mand of Major Walcund, were also there by order cf his Excel lency the Governor, and formed a line on each side of the street, from Trafalgar-square lending to the Church, through which the Bishop, attended by neatly the whole of the clergy of the island, with the ißev. Archdeacon Parry, the Rev. 31r. Adam, and the Rev. Mr. Chadelton '(Rector of St. George's, Tortola). walked to Saint Michael's Church. The procession having arrived at the church, the Rev. Mr. Garnett. our Rector, conducted the Bishop to the chair prepared for him on the right aide of the altar, his Lordship's Secietary, Mr. Coleridge, read aloud the Royal Cont. mission, and the certificate or the Bishop, having been duly con secrated—at the conclusion of which the Rector ushered his Lord ship into the stall, tined up some time ego by the provident cart and ettention of the Vestry for his reception. The merning service was then read by our Lecturer, the Rev. Mr. Kieg, with which were joined the Prayers for the 29:11 of Jemmy, berg the nnniver. airy of our gracious King's accession to the threne of his ancestors. We are disposed to consider this u a peculiarly happy coincidence of events ; anu so powerfully were our feelings excited on the in. teresting occasion, that, independent of our joy at string a hope, for tnany anxious months ardently cherished, at last realized, of seeing our own Bishop, we batted the double celebration of the daeas an auapicious omen for our country.

Li - Trra OF N. BOOMS. IN THE NAME OF THE SIONAL OILEEK cot' I:HVMENT, TO MR. CANNING. ". Napoli di Romania, Atiguat 12 (21, 110.1. ' " Your Excellency !—Cur these four years pest the Greeks, in firm reliance on Divine Providence, have defended, not without success, the land of their fathers. I any tiny defend the land, for they care little about the villages, houses, and private possessions. This has Leen sufficiently proved in the various incursions of the enemy, a hen the Greeks, with equal courage and ntagnanitnity, have sacrificed their most valuable and dearest property. They preferred freedom under their tents, 'in their valleys, on the tops of their mountains, to the most splendid dwellings in slavery. Must not this remarkable circumstance in the history of the defensive war of the Greeks, convince all Christian minds that when they began the contest for the recovery of their rights, with shaking off' an intolerable yoke, their sacred object was to deliver their faith, their country, their holy temples, the graves of their fathers, their wives, and their children, and that they mere stranger to the political views which agitated Europe. Guided by these principles in the struggle they maintained, they have not failed to implore the compassion of their brethren in Christendom, and officially to solicit die Monarchs of the Vienna Congress, to take insulted humanity under their protection. Rut European policy entertaining other ideas on the prowip'es of our cans- and far tram possessing a true knowbele,e of the Ottoman dynasty, would neither give credit to the writings of the Greeks, nor hear their groans and complaints, but resolved to abide by a mere nein:talky, which ha. been in some instances fatal to the Greeks. As the Greeks did not attain the object of their public m•plimions, they were obliged to exert themselves with confidence in defending their secred cause alone, and leave it to time to set their ntotives and principles in a clear light. The Govenimant, in thee continued in its system of !thence, and would have persevered in it had not a Note proceeding from the North of Europe obliged it to break that silence. " This Note has Greece for its object, and decides on its faits, according to a will which is foreign to it. It is difficult to imagine that such a Note can have come from a Court like that of Ittissis. The Greeks, however. must be deceived respecting the existence of this Note, and the Greek nation, as well as its Government, whose organ I have the honour to be, in offering their homage to his Britannic Majesty, through your Excellency solemnly declare, that they prefer a glorious death to the disgraceful lot intended to be imposed on them. It is not credible that his Britannic Majesty, who has shown such philanthropical sentiments towards the people of South America. will consent that the Greeks shall be so un werddly excluded from the list of civilised nations, and delivered up to the caprice of the one or the ,other without having to constitute themselves as a nation. Vet the Greeks are surely. with respect to their claims, in a more adeantageous situation than the South Americans. They have impressed the stamp of disgface on the Turkish weakness; they have prated that they are worthy to be free. They do tot contend against their mother country, but against a foreign nation that oc • cupied their country, and treated their children as slaves. Tho Greeks. to the astonishment of all nations, suddenly shook firths yoke of the barbarians : they commenced the war without means to carry it on, knowing that they could not assert their independence without innumerable sacrifices : they conquered fortresses, towns, and a number of posts which were in the hands of their ferocious despots. In several actions they have defeated the numerous and formidable Turkish fleet with small merchantmen • they have established laws like those of civilised nations ; they h ave' formed a Government, and submitted to its commands. Can it now be doubted that the Greeks are worthy of independence ? It will doubtless not escape his Britannic Majesty, that Greece, when free, both by the spirit of its people and its geographical position, may promote the interests of Great Britain. Trade is the vital principle of civilised nations, anti where can trade be more advan tageously carried on than in Greece? What stronger barrier against the increase of a vast European power. what more favourable point for the maintenance of the balance of power can England find than those natural compacts in the midst of which Greece is situated ? These are indisputable truths, which they will confirm. On these grnuuds, Greece, as I believe. has morally and politically the right to expect every kind of aid and protection front the humane English, and especially from his Britannic Maji .•y, whose honourable sentiments are um , versally known. It can no longer be doubted whether the rode. pendence of Greece coincides with the interests of the European nations, and this circumst mete is a powerful reason that the Greek nation should not he strippecl of its sacred rights, and that the English nation, whose weight in the political balance is so gene rally recognised, should be indifferent to the affecting sight of humanity, or unjustly and so unworthily trampled under foot. " I have the honour, &c. (signed) "P. J. RODIOS, Secretary General." 2. MR. CANNING'S ANSWER TO THE SECRETART-OENM‘AL OF SHE ruoviliox•L GOVERNMENT OF GREECE. „ London, Dec., 1024. ” The letter which you did me the honour to write to me on the 24th August, did not reach me till the November 4. It contains Se. marks of the Provisional government of Greece on a document which has been inserted in the European journals, as a plan for the establishment of peace in Greece, proceeding from the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. It is beyond &doubt that the publication of this document was made without any authority. I ant unable either to affirm or to deny that it was derived from an authentic source. The opinion of the British government, however, that any plan for the restoration of peace in the East, proceeding from the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, can be drawn up tonly with friendly intentions to. wards the Greeks, consequently that such a plan cannot have for its object tither to prescribe laws to the Greeks, or to awe the Ottoman Government, and that his Imperial Majesty of lillll. sis, whatever might be his intention, would think it tit to cominu nitateany plan of ells kind to the other Powers his allies, before he Proposed it to the contending parties. The Emperor has, in fact, ..id before the Allied Courts the plan, to propose at the same tiOl4l to the Porte and to the Provisional Government of Greece, to sus pend hostilities in order to gain time for amicable mediation ; and the British Government would not have hesitated to accede to di , ' proposal, had it been made at a proper moment. It must not be overlooked, that the very document which so greatly excited the displeasure of the Greek Government, awakened similar feelings in the Diva',. While the Greeks express an invinciple aborrence very agreement which should not pronounce their national inde peuience, the Divan repulses every kind of reconciliation which se mid not restore its sovereignty over Greece. In these dispositions tet the parties, there is certainly but small hcpe of are acceptable enl flee ual mediation. Jr. before the extreme to which these opposite optaiens carte carried—if, at the time when the varying chances of war seemed to give to both parties more than one rational moire for an amicable arrangement—Russia had proposed such an arrange. ment, no blame could have attached to it. or to those who might have been inclined in consider ofsuch a plan. Thedocurnent considered as a Reptilian memorial, contains tee elernee te of e treaty of peace, though taese elements were prebably not reduced into a form proper to commueicete to the belligerent parties. If the sovereignty of the Turks should not be absolutely restored, if the iedepeedence of the Greeks should not be absolutely reeognised—two extremes incom. testi hie with a mediation—if the mediators could not express them. selves without constituting thenis.tives parties in the canoe, no chance remained, but in a manner, and to a certain point,to modify both the sovereignty of the Porte and the independence of the Greeks; and the form and the degree of these modifieseinos seemed to form the question which was to be examined and solved. Each if the two parties 'night certainly defeat, by its protest, any plats for an arrangemeht, however reasonable in its principles, or its. partial in its terms; but we know that both penman equally resolved to reject any conceivable arrangement, and that the hope of a successftl mediation is, at the present moment, absolutely reared to that part of your letter in which you call on the British Government to assist the Greeks in their stra,rgle for independence, and compare their merits and their claims to such aid wire those of the provinces of bpanish America which have separated from the 3lother Country, I mast observe, t h at Great Britain !Us declared and observed the strictest neutrality in the contest beteoen et : nein and those provinces, and that the same neutrality has beco o'Jserved in the war which Dow desolates Greece. The rights art Greece, as a belligerent Power, have been invariably re,peetel ; if the British Goverument was obliged, on a late occasion, to check the excesses that took place in the exercise of its right, we hope that such s neces sity will not again occur. The Provisional Government of Greece may depend on the continuation of this neutrality: it may be assure,' that Great Britain will take no part in any attempt to impose upon it by force a plan for the re-establishment of peace contrary to its wishes, if such a peace should ever be pro posed ; but should the tireeks ever think it advisable to ask our mediation, we will offer it to the Pone, and if it is accepted. we will neglect nothing to make it effectual, hi concert with the other Powers, whose intervention would facilitste the arrangement. This is to our opinion, all that can be reasonably required of the British Ministers. They have not to reproach with having directly, or indirectly, excited the Greeks at the begianing of their enterprise, or with having in any manner impeded its roseress. Connected as we are with the Porte by the existing friendly relation,. and by ancient tread et, which the Porte has not violstel, it can certainly cot be expected that England should commence hostilities which that power has nut provoked, and take part in a contest which is not ones. I ltoee that what I have hail the honour to represent to you will remove every kind of suspicion or reproach whirl, error or intrigue may have caused reenec i the .entimente of :he British Government towards the Grerki, and be received se • proof of the purity of our intentions, and of the frankness with width we are ready to avow these.
