As soon as this decision was known in the city, an address was drawn up arid circulated, which has been signed by 250 of the most• respectable citizens. It entirely disapproves of thl steps taken by the Regency. and thanks his Alajesty for sup. pressing the Ignmantins.

LONDON, MONDAY, M•Y 15, 11424. a We have received Fren c h P a p ers of the I2:h, and th e E of itie iNth instant. Cieinlst ai k, who . is extremely favourable to the Greek cause, has arrived in Paris on a mission fromitussia, with the view it is supposed of communicating with Sir F. Anew, who also reached Perla on the llth instant. The latter is said to have con firmed the reports of the continued resistance of Nlisso loirghi, and of the arrival of MIAC us. IVe give the fol lowing extract from the I. toile, without comment:— • (From the Eioik, dated Saturday, May 131 Cotaru, APRIL 11. We have the following amounts from Napoli di Romania:— `• It is probable that the convocation of the National Assembly of Greece will take pl.n:e neat week, at Epidaurus. Several Moriot Chiefs, among whom is Pietro Bey, have already arrived. It stems that the Deputies of Eastern Greece are inclined to a Mo. narehy, and that they desire to ask the Great Powers of Chriattn. dom for a King. The instructions given by the inhahnantsof Salons, I.ivadia. Thebes, and of other places, say chit Greece must have a Monarch. 'lf you act otherwise,' they said to the Deputise, •do not show yourselves again among us.' Ciours, on the other hand, swears that he would /other submit to the Turks than endure any longer the yoke of the Oligarchs of the Mores. •• Till the King whom the Greeks ask tor shall be given them, the Proviaiooal Government is to maintain the war by all the means in its power. It seems that it is proposed to make the fol. lowing modifications in the actual fonn of the general adminis tration : six Directors and a President shall he placed at the head of the I i ,vernment. " of the three great divitions of Greece (the Continent, the SIOTea, and tha islands) shall name two director.. `"rhe Preaident shall belong to none of the three divisions, to prevent all partiality, and alto that it may be more easy to remove him. it seems that Ptinee Ypsilanti will be elected President.

At a late hour last night we received Ilainburgh and Dutch Papers, by which we learn that the Grand Duke COWSTANTINE his been appointed Generalissimo of all the Russian and Polish armies. It appears by a report of the Russian Minister of Justice to a Ministerial Committee, that sixteen governments had neglected tocarry into effect no less than 2749 ukases, addressed to them by the direct ing Senate, since the year 1822. The committee imme diately ordered the disobedient governments to be severely reprimanded, and enjoined to put the neglected decrees into execution, within the space of a year; but, upon this being submitted to the Emperor for his approbation, he altered the period to three months, informing, at the same tinstObesGovernor of Kurok, to whose share 660 out of the 2741 ofihese unnoticed ukases had fallen, that if he should be guiky of any future irregularity, be should be subjected to a criminal prosecution. _ FRANKFORT, MAT 7• The following extract of a fetter, dried Canes, March 7, has been received here : " Caned and its envirohs ire tnngtfil.

" Mtistiplia Rey returned last week from Apocorons, whither he WA been to cooler with Russo, chief of the Sphakiotes, and othet Greek Captains, on the means of destrgying the bands of incur. gents; they have promised to do every thing to accomplish his object. Mustapha Rey received the chichi with kindness, as well to gain their attachment as to shew to the Greek-nation how much he ;s disposed to treat it with humanity. He has allowed Russo to come to Canes with 7 or 8 Spnakiote captains, armed and riding on Mules. The inhabitants of this city witnessed this strange sight on the flst. -They murmured that such a favour wu granted to Raja.", hut the awe in which they stood of the troops of hlahomet Pasha, did got let their murmurs continue long. SXCHANGES ON LOXO')11. AMSTERDAM, MAr 12.-40 740 0 ; 2 mouth 403.—Dutch Papers, May 4. At length the termination of hostilities with the Bur mese monarch is no longer doubtful. General Bowies has arrived in the Mellish, with despatches for the East India Company, announcing that plosing event from Brigadier.tenerat WILLOUGHBY CoiroN, and dated Pa , tanaguh (on the advance to Ummerapuora), the Ist. of Ja nuary. By this treaty the Burmese empire is not only virtually, but actually, dismembered. Almost the whole line of coast of the Burman empire has been ceded to the East India Company in perpetuity. Included, in this are the four provinces constituting the kingdom of Arracan, and the provinces of Mergul, Tavoy, and Zee; while the kingdoms of Assam, Catcher, &ening, and Munnipoor, or Cassay, .are to be in future governed by princes to be named by the East India Compare The go/den T ireted monarch pays to the Rut India Cin4any, as we stated some time ago, a crepee of rupees, to defray the expenses of the war, which we doubt it will hypo means cover. Never 41seless we have received strong securit?tor the **cure, if net full security for the _pa?. . NW has had her interest . attende d-m' .'neWsdecl in the treaty, no' doubt securing her complete independence. Thus Burmah proper, Ava, and Pegu, seem all that are loft to the Mo narch of the White Elvhant. The treaty was signed on the 3d of January, and was expected to be ratified by the King of Ava on the 15th of the same month. Thus ins this war terminated, after a great destruction of life among our troops, but far more by disease than in the field; acd thus will be opened new and fruitful channels for British science and enterprize. In Portugal the cordon sanitlire (as it is called) of the province of Alentejo, continues to be maintained, and re ceives occasionally fresh reinforcements from different quar ters. Its object is said to bt• connected with the prolonged occupation of Spain by the French ; a subject which is likely aeon to give.rise to discussions of considerable difficulty, as the French insist on the payment of the debt due to them by Spain before withdrawing their army. The English Ministry has transmitted memorials to the Court of Spain in consequence, ,advising the recogniticin of the inde pendence of South America, and the payment of the French Loan. We mentioned, so for back as the Ist instant, that the Deputation from Lisbon to the Brasile* delayed sailing, in consequence, it was believed, of despatches from Lon don. Our information is now confirmed by priiatelettera from Lisbon of the .26th ult. It is added that" the Chiefs of the Deputation, the Duke de Layouts, and the Grand Vicar of LISBON, wished to rusign, but the Regency refused its consent. On the 2lth of April, a placard was seized by the police at LisLo 1, containing expressions which indicated the increasing popularity of the Patrician, REGENT in opposi tion to her brothers PEntto anti MIGEEE. An informer took the trouble lately' to send her Quo **mix of malcon- tents. @he wisi?"epSiorl.irf isessOsessiwiwilisftwass himself. The Oracle of Brussels of the rib May, contains a letter from Madrid, dated 2'ld April, in which it is asserted that FERDINAND is negociating with the King of SAXONY, in order to obtain two re-gitnents of infantry from him. The present weather appears like to throw back the harvest to a later period than usual, which will, of course, tend to press heavily on the consumption of the old stock of wheat, and thus to raise the prices till the new can brought into the market. The prospect of such a result could not fail to let loose the spirit of speculation among the dealers, which strikingly exemplifies. the policy of the Bill now in its progress through the House. There is no appearance at present that the harvest will he defi cient in quantity; but if, as the vason advances, the weather should continue unfavourable, Ministers will have , well entitled themselves to the thanki of the country, for having, by anticipation, provided a aelief by importation, in the event of such an emergency.; 1•!t may be that re leasing theivantity of corn in bond maw furnish an ade quate supply, and that no aid from importation may he required, but they will still have done wisely in not trusting to accidents. A considerable advanciin the price of wheat, pending thediasolution of' Parliament, is what, at a crisis like the present, no wise Statesman would wantonly hazard. The improvingdemand for our manufactures affords every reason to hope that the present distn sa wikl shortly subside, and quirt and prosperity return, and that the amount of relief so generously contributed will enable the auCirers to 'bear up against their privations until tbey shall be restored to employment ; but notch praise, in the mean tim e , to the firmness as well as to the foreca.s of Goveninient, wee ought we to omit doing justice to many of ►he let:lda& !crest for its public-siUri led co-operat.um CITY, SATURDAY EVENIXO.

May 13, IN2f► A despatch, dated the 11th of January, 111211. has been this day received at the Kan India House from the Secretary to the Govern ment at Fort St. George. enclosing a copy of & despatch from Brigadier-General Willoughby Cotton to that Guvcrntiicnt, of which the following is an extract : • Patanngoh..lan. 1, 1C26. I have the honour to acquaint you. for the information of the Honourable the Governor in Council, that the pursuit of the scat. tered columns of the enemy wee continued from 31eaday to Pate eagnh, by forted marches, by the ,Madras division, accompanied by the body tau ad and a troop of horse artillery, and the Corn. mender of the Forces. Oa reaching Neaungla, five mile. below this place, we ascertained the enemy had cringed their whole twee to the right bank of the river, and that they occupied the position of Mallonn, consisting of a series of strong fortified heights and a formidable stockade, with front ten to twelve thousand men. It was also ascertained that the King's hrnther.in.law, and most at the men of rank who had assisted at Zzaliengaish, were at Mal loon. They despatched a woondoole on the dit:h, with a flag of truce and a letter, stating it to he the wish of their Chiefs to put ■ period to hostilities, and that a Minister had arrived from Ava, with full powers touter and ratify, and requesting a meeting for that put. ports. Lieut.-Col. Tidy and Lieut. Smith, of the navy. were accord ingly despatched to arrange a conference. to be held in a boat on the centre of the river. mooted between Mattoon and Patanagob. Accordingly the•Conrmander of the Forces and the Second Con. missioner, Mr. Bober:eon, attended by myself and most of the Bei gediers, met the two Burnley! Commissioners, Kellen Alenjee and the Kee Wooniee, on the 30th ult. t and I arts moat happy to elate that the result el the conferences of that day and yesterday has been a satisfactory adjustment, as far as regards territory and money, between the British and Burmese nations. The rarification by the Commissioners of the treaty takes place Chia day at two o'cliek. and the term. of peace are as follow: " The four provinces of Arracan to be ceded In perpetuity to the Honourable Company. •` Tire provinces of 31ergiti, Tavoy, and Zea, to be ceded to the Honourable Company in perpetuity. " The Burmese Govreninent engage to pay the Honourable Company one crore of rupees, by instalments, the periods for the payment of which to be settled this day. 1 he provinces or kingdoms of Assam. Cachar, 'Leaping. and 31untipore, to be placed under Princes, to be named by the British Government. '• Rtaidtnts, with an escort of fifty men, co be at each Court. Britiali ships to be admitted into Burmese ports, to bud their &vire. free of duty ; not to utrihip their rudders or Wad theft aunts Burmese ships m have the same privileges in Hefei& ports. No Renton. to be molested toe their opinions or conduct dieting the tear hereafter. " The Siamese nation to be included in the peace." . Thus, I hope, has terminated a war which has been coost ex pensive in its prosecution, not only iu money hut also by the ef fects of climate, very destructive to both European and native troops. But -I hope the Bonourable the Governor in Council will here .permit me to express the unanimous grateful feeling of the 11adras army for the considerate comforts the. 3ladras Government have. upon every occasion, forwarded to their army here, comforts which have been the means of saving. many valuable lives, and which will be ever moat gratefully acknowledged by every officer n,(.1 man. It mill. of retiree, take a long period to arrange the move of the troopstram hence to Rangoon, with the tuateriel and stores. The tatiticat'on of the treaty by the King of Aye, and the Eng lish pr contra now at Amarapoorah, are to arrive at Patanagoh in 15 days ( lath January), on the receipt of. w hi c h we s h a ll Mane direly retrograde to Prome. The roads .across the Andean Mountains prcsent difficulties which will oblige the Bengal army to retirebyitaneoon. P.S.

The first part consisted of a a leetion fro m Weber's chef iteritrre, Der b'reisehrl.r. The public were on this occasion afford( d another opportunity of liftin g t h e individual whose extraordinary composition has naturally excited considerable interest for its author, for WeS,, again directed the performance of his own music. Th e appearance of this gentleman, heralded as it had be en b y the far-reaching voice of fame, has rendered our eras% sweet sounds more th an usua ll y attract i ve. On present' himself on Saturday night he was received with considers. able applause, and acknowledg e d it w i t h t h at modisty which has been : before attrib u t e d t o hi m , arr i which has rendered him so much the more au object of estw tn inaetnisch as this quality is not very frequently the accompaniment of genius. The performance c orn . menced with the overture; it was executed with an admirable decision. Miss Farrar sung " The Brides. maid's song," in a sweet simple style. The full rich tonie of M:se Paton were never more effective than in th et beautiful scene " Before my eye% beheld him." Th ee , app: area a perfect sympathy between the quality of t h i s lady's voice and the subject of the composer; and the result was one of those delightful itnpressents on our organ of enjoyment, of which memory finds a trace, though many a gone-by day shall have intervened. The wor t h, " Oh, lovely Night," were given with exquialth feeling; there was a passion, an enthusiasm, breitheil iuto there, calculated to awaken ev er y p oet i ca l s e nt i ment that Im reference to the "silvery light on Man's brow." Mr. P e ie lips gave " Life is darkened o ' er with woe," with a go o d bacchanalian dum vicintus victims spirit. " What !—Oh, terror 1" a trio, by Miss's Petal aid Farrar and Mr. Braliam, •was admirably execut e d. efe s Paton's " 0, wee, my bean forgives th ee ," was full of feeling. This lady sometimes threatens most vexatious. ly our plighted faith to that " Queen of the silr et note," as she has been fancifully designated—Miss Stephens. She sung " Though clouds by tempe sts may be driven" in her best style. There was a beautiful devotion in one line, " O'er him in heaven they hive no power," the whole spirit of which seemed to he felt by the audience: it was warmly applauded. This selection ended with the well-known finale, "See, 0 see!" After the first parr, Mr. Mori,• who led the band, plrformed a fan tasia, by Mayseder, on rhe violin. The power of execution he possesses is perhaps little inferior to Kieewener's. The sudden transition of the latter fr in the lowest to the highest conceivable note is certainly more effective; we re collect to have seen the house absolutely electrified by it— A selection from Handers serenata, Acis and\ciakles followed. Miss Stephens sung " Husb I ye t rtktty warbling choir ;" sh e was accompan i e d a reoi et obligato by Mr. Harvey. This w as tota b lry ineffective, notwithstanding the merit of the performer. The devoid is by far too weak an instrument for so large a house. Miss H. Cawse was much applauded in " Would you gain the tender creature." A jubilee overture, full of noi s y clap-traps and without a single idea, opened the last pan, which was, as usual, a miscellaneous act. This overtute is said to have been composed for the jubilei of the ?kip of the King of Saxony eif this be true, we protest against any violation of the composer's design, ant( recommend that hereafter it be performed on such occasions only. Madame Veetris sang , the new cantina by C. Horn, ca ll e d " I've been roaming, ' with all that archness of which she is the well-known mistress : it was encored. Brehm gave the auld Scotch song, " March ! march 1 Ettrick sod Tiviotdale," most spiritedly. We will answer for it there was not a Scotchman in the house, knowing what blue bonnets are, who did not feel warmed : it was rap turously encored. " Ile comes from the wars," was Mm Stephens's moat happy effort of the evening. The words, " Rest, warrior, rest !" were exquisitely given : it is in this that she is absolutely without an equal—in the "dying, dying, fall," until there is " nothing lives between her voice and silence." " Dal too stellato moglio," from ;he Mose in keno of ROSPRI. was ably **(vowel be Miss Farrar and Messrs. Robinson, Hornesenk, and Phillips. The performances closed with Handel'/ Coronation Anthem. LITERATURE. A new translation has just appeared of Father Carron, the Jesuit's I I ietory of the Mogul Dynes/y. The period of which the Learned Father treats is comprehended be tween the years 1399 and 1657, or front the founding of the Mogul Empire, by that siii;,ular military adventurer Tamerlane, to the accession of the Emperor Aurengaebe. Uf course it includes the reign of the great Acbar, or Akebar, as Father Catrou calls him, from which we make the two following extracts. The translation is spirited and faithful. " All the amusements of the Emperor partook of a martial character. He had retained from the Tames, his ancestors, a fondness for archery, and for the taming of fiery steeds. The ex orcise which he more especially delighted in was,ro mount on the War elephants, and to serve as their conductor, whilst they engaged in combat. This is a species of exercise so extremely dangerous, that the wives of those whose duty it becomes. tear their veetintnts. ai d pluck the pendants from their care, when they behold their hit/thanes expose themselves to these kind of combats. Nevertheless, what to *thin was a terrific occupation, served Akebar as an amusenunt. An adventure is related of him, which displays the intrepidity of the gallant Mogul. S o m e re b e lli ous peasants h a d f l ed for refuge to a city indifferetitly fortified, but of which it was difficult to force the gstes. Akebar gave orders to employ the war elephants in breaking down the gates, and forcing a passage into the place. The conductors of these animals, which are trained to these k ind of rorfliets, failed in resolution. The 31onarch was exasperated. Having that day assumed the (IMPS of a simple soldier, that hi might not be known in an inglorious war, 'undertaken against peasants, he took the place of one of the conductors; mounting ea the neck of the elephant, and guiding hilts with 30 iron hook. he made the.animal, with so much address• go through the manceurres used on those occlusions, that the gate was burst open. This was a perilous attempt. Arrows were discharged at the elephant, awl at him .who guided it, but the.Emperer escaped without injury. The conductor of the second 'elephant, charmed with the esker of the man. sham he believed a simple soldier. demanded cat Ak. bur his name, tbat he might, he said, report his bravery to the Em peror. "I am called," replied Akebar, " the Smasher of Gaits. do not forget to bear a goo d testimony in my favour." In efhTt, his faithful companion did not fail the next morning, at the au. dience whirl; the Kim permits generally to all his subjects. tog Iva a recital of the valour and address of the oleo, named the Smasher of Gana. The Emperor, recollected st these words what had passed, and avowed himself. He then gave the reward, which was due to his own intrepidity, to hint who had borne his testimony to it. The man was preseated with a complete serpent. that is, witka dress, a turban, and a horse. His pay was augmented, end hp was promoted to a higher rank.

It rnav be said, that from time immemorial, the Chinese, who doubtless were, Si one time. maw ters of Indostan, had in that country cast pieces of ordnaree, the antiquity of which cannot be traced at the present day. Unreel°. nately. there were bat few persons in the Indies who had the plod to work them, with the same science and precision which is pry.- heed in Europe. A kehar entertained, therefore. the plan of in viting Europeans into his service, and of inducing them to settle at Ages, by the prospect of great advantages. The Enghili had recently established themselves on the coast of lodestar, and had acquired a great reputation for valour. In their sea engagements they had almost always the advantage of the Portuguese. It en from their new establishment at Surat, where they beesn to ow on a very advantageous commerce, that Akthar procured Enchsh cannoneers to verve his artillery.
