LONDON, MONDAY, Arm!. 10, 1826. We have received the Paris morning papers of Friday, int' the Finite of Saturday. The latter asserts that the fort of Vassiladi is taken, and that the fate of Missolonglii is decided by that event. The Journal des Debuts, how ever, argues that Vassiladi could not be captured without a Beet, and that IBRAHIM has not one now under his com mand. It is quite certain, that if Vassiladi is taken, Missolon7hi cannot hold out beyond the period that the present stock of provisions in the garrison lasts ; because she command of this fort by IBRAHIM. would prevent • further supply from being thrown into the town. But the Cosslitationaelof Friday repvats the rumour of the veteran Isltautts having succeeded in supplying the garrison with free months stores : (From the Etoik of Svurday, Aril 8.1 Wows from Trieste gives the tenoning particulars, ander the Lad of Zante, /larch 13. ••• Ibrahim, au Sailing it inaptisible to scale the walls of Missolonghl, resolved to attack the fort of Vasilladl, which is placed In the centre of the Lagoons, and commands them. ilis project was to deprive the besieged of the abundant tithing, which supplied them with subsistence. lie therefore made preparations to cannonade the fort, and to carry it by storm as soon as a breach should be made. After several unsuccessful attacks, Vassilatli was taken on the 9th of this month, and the whole garrison, consisting of IGU men, put to the sword, except three man, whose lives were spared. The loss of this fort, will decide the fate of Missolorighi. Coloco (mid, Nekita, Lando, Zaime, Sissini, and other Chiefs.had fomietl!‘ plan to surprise Tripolis:a, but their measures were so badly taken that the first men who mounted the walls %UPS made prisonere by the French reneged° Selve, called Soloman Bey. Ile sent back to the Greek camp the principal Chiefs who had commanded the at tack, after having inhumanly had their ears and noses cut off, and desired Colocotroni to concert his measures better another time." Baron Strogonoti; who was employed by the Emperor Alexander oa aeveral important missions, left Paris three days ago to repair to St. Petersburgh. Several Russians of high rank will leave Paris in a few days to return to Russia. Sir G. 311iregor, calling himself an Indian Cacique, and Sove reign of Poyais, in South America, was arrested several months ago, charged with various acts of swindling. Ile was accused of having made consderable loans anti taken large sums, promising to his dupes immense treasures in his country, which he represented as another Eldorado. He was brought to trial yesterday, with six other persons, represented as his accomplices. The prisoner, a man of Scotch extraction, is a very handsome man ; he was elug..ntly dressed ; a large Scotch plaid thrown across his shoulders. Ile answered every question with much facility, though with a British accent. At his side was an English officer, named Hippesley, whose external appearance made a striking con trast, with that of Macgregor. According to the evidence, all the charges were fixed upon ..ebaly, one of the accused, who was absent, amid who was sentenced to two years imprisonment 4 MSC Oregon, and four Englishmen, Messrs. Irving, Hippesley, and Henning, and two Frenchmen, Messrs. Deuoati and Vallogne, were acquitted. [From the l'ilote.l PARIS, APRIL 6. The 3lanhelm Journal of March 23, says, on the authorities of aneral letters from St. Petersburgh, that the Congress has laid down is the basis ofits discussions the maintenance of peace, but has been agreed that whatever may be result of the s:ruggle in this East, all the Powers shall unite to oblige the Ports to enfran. ehise Greece. Letters from Vienna of the '27th March, state that after the break. ing up of an Extraordinary Council,Prince 3letternich despatched a C3urier to the Au.trian Legation at Lisbon, with despatches, which are to be forwarded to Colonel 3lareschal, Austrian 31inister at Rio de Janeiro. Ilia Majesty has just purchased, at the expense of his civil list, a splendid collection of ligyptian antiquities now at Leghorn— the cost is 25,000 francs. The collection contains 3000 articles. There are colossal Sphinxes, the Monolith sanctuary of Phihr, a royal sarcophagus taken from a tomb at Thebes ; the famous nume rical wall (nizsauille nunwrigne) of the palace of Camac. entire; an immense bas relief relative to the conquests of Sesostris, nearly 80 MSS. on papyrus, Egyptian, Greek, Coptic, and Arabic; many articles of gold and precious stones; beautiful Greek and Egyptian inscriptions; the entire frescos of an Egyptian tomb at Thebes; several portraits of the times of the Greeks on panel, and one on canvas, &c.

The following are extracts from them:— [From the Baltimore Daily Advertiser] The Natioriot amette acknowledges the receipt of papers of the Mrxican capital down to the January, and the Alrarodu sifercaris to the 9th tilt. It is suggested in them that the Colombian Government could not have invited the British Cabinet to send an Agent to the Congress of Panama; a circumstance which has been 'media the Paris Ministerial journals. The tone of the Mexican writers on the subject is strong. They assert that great Britain has nothing to do with the objects of the Congress; deny that Colombia has say right to take the lead, or act without the concurrence of the otheeStates; and hold this language besides. " If Colombia has involved herself in this invitation with as much restli:lns or facility as she has concluded her treaties with Great Britain, it will not be long before she repents of having corn. mined the administration of her dlairs to men who are not on their guard against the eonseqnences of precipitation. Excessive gratitude may conduct Colombis to the same slavery from which she has emancipated herself by efforts so heroic." But the article most worthy of notice Is the following contained in the Avila MC.riell NO. _ _ " It t said, very generally, that the Senate has agreed to autho. rise the Executive Government of the Union to join the Republic of Colombia, in assisting the inhabitants of Cuba to achieve their independence. This measure does honour to the Senate. and is sufficient, of itself, to stir the tire of liberty which is cherished in the bosoms of the inhabitants of Cuba, and to strike their oppres sors with terror. It appeared to be full time for the Congress of Mexico to give such authority to the Executive as would enable it to frustrate, in the most prudent and sensible manner, :hose schemes of aggression, which may be formed against America by her odious enemies, and of which the island of Cuba will be the ful. arum. Four thousand men have just arrived at the island, and more troops may successively arrive, to the point of exciting dis. quietude in our continent. This affair of Cuba is one of the must delicate whizli we have to handle in the present state of the politi. cal regeneration of America. It is of such a nature, in our opi nion, that it admits of no compromise. The Spaniards must either evacuate the island, or war niust be interminable. The chosen people of the land cannot lire in peace while the sotiliets of Nebti. thadtimar are encamped at this gates of the Holy City. Suit' is Havannah with regard to the new States of America, especially Mexico. " lithe consent of the Senate above-mentioned be true, atiwe are assured and believe, the question will of course come before the flouse of Representatives, where it cannot fail to happen that an Immense majority wall concur in what is a necessary policy of pre. edution." A French commissioner tru expected daily in Mexico from aranna h. EXPORTS OF SAVANNAH.—The export of cotton from the port ut Savannah, dunng the month of February, was 30.000 bales.

[From the Philadelphia Daily Advertiser.] PER ti.-IVe have been favoured with the perusal of Lima pa pers to the .id of December. A new weekly paper, called El Per aria's° ladependiente, was begun to be published in that city on the 22d of October. There was before no gazette printed there except that of the Government. It contains a few articles in Eng lish, and appears to he under the direction of a capable editor. The Government of Chili have eldered an examination to be made into the cause and the rhotives of the late movements in Santiago, although they say they are fully acquainted with them, and have no intention to proaecut"• the culpable. We see nothing to indicate that anything was intended against the form of Government, and it appears as if quiet were entirely restored. The birth-day of Bolivar was celebrated In Lima on the 2&h day of October. On the evening preceding cannon were tired, the balconies, glum. _and houses, which had: been dectrfated; were splendidly illuminated, and hre-works were exhibited in the great square, where a large concourse had assembled. The besieging army at Callao also celebrated the day. At each corner of the square was raised an arch of flowers, inscobsii with two Spanish verses, beginning with a reference to the " Anglo-Ametians^ and Washington. Some spirited toasts were drunk at an entertainment which succeeded. ---- . The enemy were still In rails°. On the 20th they fired 426 cannon shots, 211 shells, and 17 grenades.—New Turk fkily Ad ve►tiser. CUDA.--Every thinp peeves to indicate a speedy descent upon Cuba from the Spanish main, and should the invasion tmkt place, the soil of that island will swim with blood. The Spaniards lire pretty well prepared hir the onset; and this last refuge of Spanish power in the new world will not be surrendered without a smuggle.

IncEttEseino.—AC/THENTlC.—Extract of • le:ter front Havana, dated the 22d of February : " On the 19th instant a Spanish squadron, consisting of five fri gates and a schooner, under Commodore La Borde, sailed for St. Jagn de Cuba,tranaporeing 1200 troops,and will proceed thence on a cruise to the coast of Colombia. No pains and expense have been omitted in equipping it, so that it is many years slice the Spanish na►y has had so brilliant anti efficient a division of vessels in ope ration. They are provisioned for a five' months cruise, and from the Commodore down to the cabin boy, have all teethed their pay in advance to vita time. Instead of apprehending the preparations making by the enemy to invade this island, that fleet has gone to meet him on his own shores. A chip of the line. called the Guer rero, is expected here shortly. and will coon be followed by two others of that class, the San Pablo and A Igesiras.

It was currently reported and believed on Saturday, says the Alexandria Gazette, that the Senate would come to some conclusion that evening on the Panama business ; and consequently curiosity was on tiptoe till a very late hour, but it was finally ascertained that nothing decisive had been done. These being no rule for forcing the previinis question In the Senate, it is said that the op position is determined to defeat the measure, if possible, by ex hausting the remainder of the seardon in long speeches, each of its members having engaged to occupy the floor a day whenever it comes to his allotted time ; and it is calculated that they are suffi ciently strong, in words and Roanoke arguments, to hold out until the first of June, which is probably as long as the House of Re presentatives will consent to sit. Report also says, that to counter act this uti;aincipled arrangemen., the majority will, on some day this week, demand the question, and refuse to adjourn, even for an hour, until the minority will allow it to be taken. From the nature of the ease we cannot speak positively, but we believe what we have given as rumour. The majority in tAYOUT of the motion is said to be dive. We have received a file of the Meniagero Argentine, down to the 3d January. The English steam packet, the Druid, was boarded iri the port of Urquisa on the 28th Nov., by the Brazilian fleet, and carried into Paisandu, where she ran aground. Ilex stores were removed from her, and the Captain and passengers treated as prisoners. On the 30tb they were allowed to proceed to Urquisa, where they were boarded a second time and treated in a very vexatious manner. The proprietor has detailed these circumstances in a memorial to the Minister of War of the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata. The shipwreck of snofficer, who was carrying despatches to Ls VA LI. EJ A, has paralyzed the operations of that gene ral in the Banda Oriental. The Emperor of Brazil has gone to Minas himself, to excite the zeal of the inhabitants. Ile has ordered a levy of five hundred men in each province, in order to form an army of 9,000 men. In Puetto Alegre 2,500 men have been assembled; but on the 14th of December they bad already been reduced to 1,100 by desertion, &c. Pernambuco anti Bahia are in a state of fermentation. The Emperor has only been able to land 1,000 men at Santa Catalina, and a similar number was collected at San I'ablo-y-Santos, in order to march to Rio Grande. A variety of Decrees have been published by the Legis lature of Rio de la Plata, respecting their military arrange ments ; as well as a proclamation to the citizens under its immediate jurisdiction, and those of the Banda Oriental. Several other English and American vessels have been searched by the Brazilian blockading force. The affairs of Greece continue to occupy the public at tention throughout Europe. The question is undoubtedly beset with difficulties of no ordinary description. On the one hand, our jealousy of Russia prevents us from per mitting her to interfere in the affairs of Greece; and on the other, our sympathy for the Greeks, and our own interest in their emancipation, render it highly improper for us to leave them again to fall under the dominion of the Otto mans. The most obvious course is undoubtedly to leave the Greeks to themselves; but this is one of those tempo rizing measures which only increase the danger by delaying the remedy. If Greece should achieve its own deliverance —an event which every day seems to render more doubtful —what would the situation of that country be in the vici nity of the great empires of Russia and Austria? It would be a mere dependency, and so far fr ms establishing a barrier against the power of Ruisia, it would give the greatest facility to her future enterprises, because she would no longer have to contend with the Turkish empire, but with a small part of it erected into an independent State. The best method, therefore, would be, in our opi nion, to allow Rpssia to interfere in Greece; bat to take care that we should have some indemnity which might counterbalance her advantages. IVe would not by any means give up Greece as an integral part of the Russian dominions ; but we would allow her to obtain the same in fluence there as Austria has in Naples, and France in Spain, and we would allow that only on condition that we should be permitted to obtain a similar influence in Egypt. This influence might be acquired by making a diversion to recal IBRAHINI j and it is necessary for us, because the French have not even yet abandoned the idea of attacking India through Egypt. The PORTE, it is true, has always been a faithful ally of MN Countif;iiia that circumstance, we are ready to admit, increases the difficulties that the Cabinet of Great Britain has to contend with on this distressing and perplexing subject ; but the conduct of the British Minis try has evinced such scrupulous delicacy towards the Poore during the whole of her stru7,f,de with the Greeks, that the most fastidious jealousy could not he excited by it. But paramount duties now force themselves on the at tention of Mr. CANNING and his colleagues, and it be comes not only a question of feeling, but of policy, as to this country remaining any longer a passive spectator of af fairs in the Mores; and we hope to see them giving that tone to the negotiations now carrying on, that will put an end to a contest that, independent of every other conside ration, may in its results, if timely interferense does not take place, severely affect British interests. CITY, SATURDAY EVENING. Stock was in fair demand se-day, and the orders from the country, although partial, gave a favourable turn to the market; the improvement, however, did not exceed i per cent. which rather suppeses the idea that the Acrount according to the phraseology of the dealers, a Dear account; but there is no continuation on Consols to the month of May, which proves that the opinion generally entertained of the funds la opposed to a further improve ment. Consols for Account opened this morning at 791, when an attempt to depress the merket was made, and they fell ►o 7b,1; but the number of layers predominating, they rose in i short time to 791, and in the course of the afternoon 79, 1 4 was the more general quotation. On the arrival of four o'clock there was a slight re-action, but not exceeding / per cent. which is commonly the case on Saturday. All the Public Securities are now open for public or private transfers; the variation in Reduced Annuities, the New 4 per Cents., and the 3/ per Cant. Reduced, has been limited to 1 per cent. Bank Stock is now quoted, without the dividend, and has been to-day sold, at 2051 and 204. The sales of Exchequer Bills by the Bank have been discontinued, and they, accordingly, have remained steady at from 6s. to 7s, considerable agitation prevailed in the Foreign Market, particularly amongst the holders of South American Se curitits, and the capacity of these Republics to pay the dividends on their respective loans will probably be very soon brought to the test. In Colombian, which in the early part of the week were sold as high as .57, there has been a de pression of 12 per cent. This reduction waafoundoll meretr on the supposition that the dividends will not be paid. There has been considerable anxiety evinced by the holders of' Peruvian Bonds, to keep up their price, and the consequence was, that a momentary improvement took place in this Stock, which was nut maintained. In fact, all is conjecture with regard to Smith American Securities, and the fluctuation in them to-day has been very exten sive; in Colombian New Bonds it has amounted to about 4 per cent. An endeavour has been made to remove the alarm, by again publishing the advertisement for the pay ment of the dividends on the Old Colombian Bonds, which fall due on the that of next month, There was, however, not a single bargain made in this Stock ;. but New Colom bian, which left off yesterday at 4t4i, opened this morning at 30; by one o'clock they bad receded to 45i ; at this de pression a few buyers mettle their appearance, and the Bonds again touched 47, but closed at 46, which is within mi per cent. of the lowest quotation of the day. • There has been little doing in Mexican Bolds, and the variation in them has not exceed. d I per cent. The panic among the holders of Greek Bonds has been increased, notwithstanding the doubts thrown on time fall of Missolonglii to-day. The Bonds have receded from 16 to 14., and closed at only a trifling advance. 'OCKS ON SATURDAY. New 4 per Cent. Na # Loop Ann. I9i 7.16 # Es.

By the arrival of the Parta frigate from Monte Video we learn, that his 31ajesty's orders for the blockade of the port of Buenos Ayres were strictly enforced, and has caused great consternation in that town. There is no doubt of the defeat of Rivals by Bento ("ontolves, as it is confirmed by the frigate. Monte Video was tranquil, and had abundance of provi sions. Our squadron had taken a vessel belonging to the enemy laden with stores, and detained another widi Dutch colonists, which remained at Monte Video. JANUARY 21.

It has been reported in the course of the week, on the authority of the Greek merchants residing in London, that Lord Cochrane bad arrived at Greece, and was about to be invested with a very high and important command, and that heavy ordnance of a particular construction (long 6S pounders) had been sometime in preparation under his advice and directions, to be used in gun vessels against the Turkish fleets and forts. We are happy to have it in cur power, on much better authority than that before al luded to, to state that his Lordship reached Napoli, early in last month, and that the description of the formidable engines prepared for the service tinder his direction is not exaggerated.

A medal has lately been struck in Germany in honcui of the celebrated Goethe. The design is by Professor Leve zow, and the execution by Koenig, medalleur to the King of Saxony.

On the reverse, the full-length figure of the poet, iu the antique costume, between the tragic and comic Muses, who are clowning him with the garland of immortality. One eminent public officer still seems to us to he consi derably underpaid—we mean the Speaker of the Mouse of Commons; when not only his arduous public duties are considered, but the amount of income which he is actually compelled to expend in the maintenance of the dignified hospitality of his station, it must appear that the emolu ments arising frera it are by no means commensurate with his claims and services.—Sunday Paper.

After several months of promise and delay, during which the lovers of the ballet have been in a state of anxious ex pectation, M. d'Egville produced on Saturday L a :Vila sauce de Venus. We are so much delighted with it, tha; we are in no mood now to complain even of the delay, and if we were, it is only necessary to read M. crEgville's preface to his description of the ballet, in order to pity rather than to blame him. Like the Commandant in Joe Miller, lie puts forward his one excuse, which is so good, that we can spare all the rest. He has had no dancers, and his entreaties to the French 3linisters (for in France dancing is an affair of the Ministry) have not been able to prevail upon them to spare him any of the Artist.' of which he stood in need. " /Vous Vanquioni, he says, almost pathetically, " des elemens necestaires." Can anytlitng be snore satisfactory? And, then, with all the pride of a man who feels the importance of his situation, and of the execution of its duties, he adds, " riptis mom resret pod,- les enzagements glee j'ai pis, et ql'it net: etc dans l'imo..nsibilite de tents neeeuik CO ex/disci/6,m5." The ballet itself needs no excuse, for unquestionably it is the best that has been seen at this theatre for many years. The subject is admirably chosen, and it was exc. cute(' in a manner worthy of its conception. The piece opens with a marine view, which is painted in a style of exquisite beauty. Nymphs, Dryads, and Fauns are itscoverell, offrrirg a sacrifice to the God of the Forests, upon a rustic altar, with all the joyous testimonies of reverence which the older poets represent those deities to have delighted in. A storm comes on, which disperses the dancing troop, and puts an end to their festive worship. From the midst of the ocean a cloud of foam gradually arises; the heavens begin to wear a less threatening aspect; the cloud, struck by a thunderbolt, gives way, and Venus is disco vered, with Cupid in her arms, reclining upon a shell. The former occupants of the scene re-assemble ; they worship the new-born goddess, and, placing her upon a throne, re sume their festive dances, and at length conduct Venus to the grotto of Paphos. The next scene represents the ;or tico of the Temple of Voluptuousness, and the entrance to the grotto of Paphos. A most delightful scene talus place here between Venus (Mlle. Brocard) and La Vbate, (Mlle Pauline). The latter teaches the new-born Deity to dance. ller first efforts are timid, but full of grace ; under the instructions of her fascinating teacher she im proves rapidly, and at length the scholar surpasses her instructor. Nothing can be more charming than the manner in which this was executed. Mlle. Brocanl was never seen to so much advantage, and the little Pau line gave a decided promise of great excellence. A con siderable number of incidents, which it is impossible to detail, hut all of which are delightful in the representa tion, add to the interest of the ballet. The deities Mer cury, Apollo, Mars, and Vulcan, now make their appear ance, as suitors for the hand of Venus. She seems to hesitate as each presents himself with the emblems of his attributes before her. Mars evidently makes the greatest impression upon her, but Vviceu, who assumes a more humble style of wooing than his fellow gods, ;throws Ma sceptre at her feet, and this Venus cannot resist. " Over come," as the Maitre de Ballet, .with less that, his usual gallant, , says, " like all goddesses," (terrestrial as well as celestial) "bet an ereessive love ~f• domination," Venus decides in favour of Vulcan, indicating at the same time, that although she bestows her hand on him, her heart and affections are still will Mae:. This ballet was composed for the Academie Royale de Musique of Paris, but it was never represented there. M &Ego ille avails himself of this circumstance to pay a compliment to the ladies of England, which must be al lowed to atone for his form e r w a nt o f g allantry. "l'enet,' says the Maitre de Ballet, " denial renuitre iel, duns 3Ga veritable pays natal, au rein meme efArnphitrite ;" and without being at all influenced by his compliment, we really must way that we think M. d'Egville has added im mensely to his reputation by this ballet. It displays en. it efancy in the arrangement, and the execution ut t is almost as perfect as anything of the kind that we can imagine. The exertions of the artists, to whom the deco rations and scenery have been confided, are eminently RUC• emit'', and the general effect of the ballet is like one o the pictures of Nioolo Poussin put into action. As to the performers, w.! have mention in particular Coulon and Fli mot, as Z•phir and Flare, who shone con spicuous in a pas de dens; and Le Blond and his wife, who executed a similar dance with great effect. Th.. music is lively and characteristic, particularly in that scene where La Polupte is teaching Venus to dance, and which is composed by M. F. Venus. The Ballet was received .with loud and universal ap plause; and after the curtain had fallen, some of the audi ence insisted upon its being again drawn up, in order that they might have another and a tome complete view of the last scene. After a little demur they carried their point. Saturday evening the Princess Augusta honoured the Italian Opera with her presence. Yesterday morning the Princess Augusta attended divine service at the Chapel Royal. Saturday Mr. Secretary Peel hall a grand dinner pal*.
