'PARIS, MAY I4.—The following news are from the lonian 1,14:n19, dated April 20 : The Courier de Sinyme, of the 29th of March, loudly complains of Admiral Rieord, for having blockaded the coast from the Gulf of Contessa to the Dardanelle , , without having concerted the measure with the other two Admirals of the Allied squadrons. Ile has indeed intimate] to the Con sul of the Netherlands that the blockade extended otdy to contraband of war, yet, in consequence of tijs dechtration, a vessel bound from Smyrna to Euos Irmd been stopped by the Russian ships, and .ei)t hack to Smyrna ; the whole cargo had at first I:een removed into the Russian ships, but was after wards restored with a prohibition against taking it to Enos. A vessel belonging to the lonian Islands had been served in the same manner. None of the Commanders of the Eurepean squadrons had received notice of this measure of Admiral Ricord's. The blockade of the Dardanelles is continued v..it.h no less rigour, and the Russian Commander has informed the Dutch Consul at Smyrna, that he has ju , t seized an Ansi:inn vessel as it was going to hteak the blockade. The last letters from Alexandria, of the beginning of April, say that the Paella's squadron was ready to put to sea. Every thing confirms the increased success of the Greek troops in Western Greece. Prevesa, which bad keen several times summoned to surrender by General Church, would he unable to hold out much longer, notv.ithstanding the exertions of the Pacha, r‘ho looked in vain for reinforcements. The pos. session of this place by the Greeks would be tke ;nun! fatal to the Turks, as the general insurrection of the Albanians' daily becomes more serious, far from having been suppressed, as some papers have erroneously stated. The - movements which agitate Albania snd Thessaly are looked upon with distrust at Corfu, and considered as the effeCts of the perfidious in fluence of forego tuanceuvres.

By the arrival of the Laura at Guernsey, from Rio Janeiro, which port she left on the 10th of March, we have news confirming the report of an insurrection having broken out at Pernam buco. This event has occasioned great alarm to the Emperor Don PEDRO, and created a deep sensation in the Capital. The EMPEROR immediately issued a Decree, constituting a Mili tary Commission, with orders to proceed at once to Pernambuco, and to punish with death all those concerned in the insurrection, without waiting for further orders. This summary form of proceeding is contrary to the Constitu tion, but the EMPEROR was imperative in his commands. It was apprehended at Rio that the Chambers, which were shortly expected to meet, would censure the decree of the EMPEROR with out its having previously obtained their sanction. The Exchange at Rio had fallen to 204 p 21, in consequence of the insurrection. At a Meeting of the Subscribers and Donors to the King's College, held at the Freemason's Hall on Saturday, the Report of the Pro%isional Committee was read at length—it will be seen in our Paper of to-day—by which it appears that the subscriptions are increasing in a very flatter ing ratio, though they are still inadequate to meet the necessary expences of the Institution, and that the site, after much hesitation and delay, has been finally fixed on, viz., in the vacant spot the eastern side of Somerset House. " This situation," adds the Report, " from its position in the heart of the Metropolis, and its facilities of access from every quarter, appears to them (the Committee) to unite more mom tnendations than any other they were enabled to obtain." The site being thus judiciously de termined on, ro further delay will, we presume, take place. The erection of the building— which is intrusted to the active superintendence of Mr. SMIRKE—wiII, we trust, be at once commenced, for the subscriptions already re ceived are within a few pounds quite sufficient to defray all the preliminary expences. 'We have always, from a consideration of the incal culable public benefits that must of necessity accrue from them, advocated the erection of In stitutions for the promotion of general know ledge. It was upon this principle that we did our best to support the London University, which, in spite of the ungenerous sneers so liberally directed against it, is, we perceive, in a state of the most flattering prosperity, and it is upon this principle that we now advocate the erection of the King's College. Knowledge, no matter whether it spring up under the patron age of an ultra Tory or a Liberal, is still the same grand, beneficent, inestimable good. It may be perverted, distorted, enslaved, but it pos sesses the principle of correction within itself. As it progresses, it works itself clear, though I the stream, perhaps, at its source, may be dis coloured. We have received this morning the Prussian State Gazette of the 12th inst., which copies from the Journal of St. Petersburgh some ad ditional news from the theatre of war to the 19th of April. It appears that nothing of importance had occurred up to that date, either in Bulgaria or along the Danube, with the exception of oc casional skirmishes between the outposts. The gavilFon of Ghiurgevo made two unsuccessful sallies against the corps of observation stationed before that fortress ; in the second of which the Turks suffered considerable loss. The Russians have been unremitting during the winter in making every preparation fur re newing the war with spirit. They constructedl pontoons at Fundeni, on the river Argis, for effecting the passage of the Danube, near Si lis trig, and succeeded in safely floating them down to tht detired plitee; altho•lgh the Torli.ish flotilla at Silistria had the command of the river at that fortress and further up. It was reported by the Turkish prisoners and deserters from the for. tresses on the Danube, that a great scarcity of provisions was eltperienc6d—particularly at Shumla, where the new GRAND VIZIER had arrived with a reinforcement of 12,000 regular troops. This circumstance, and the setting in of fine weather, will, no doubt, serve, to hasten the renewal of hostilities, for which both parties seem to be equally prepared : ST. PETERSBURG'', APRIL 50.—A supplement to the Journal of St. Petersburgla contains news from the theatre of war to 19th April, which besides the account of the unstr.-cessful attack made by Hussein Paella upon Size boli, gives the following particulars : " Nothing else of any importance has occurred along the whole line that we occupy in Bulgaria er on the Danube, with the exception of some skirmishes between the out posts. The garrison of Ghiurgevo has made two unsuc cessful sallies against the corps of observation before that fortress ; in the second the enemy had 3,000 men, in fantry and cavalry, and some cannon, and began a fire of musketry on the Cossacks, but were driven back into 'the fortress with considerable loss by the fire of our artillery end the attack of two regiments of hussars; we took some prisons ra. " During the winter the necessary preparations have been made to effect the passage of the Danube before Silis tria. Pontoons were made in the village of Fundeni, on the river Argis, with tile intention of floating them in spring to the Danube, and then on the river liota to Kallarnsch, opposite Silistria. This enterprise was difficult and dangerous, for the enemy having assem bled tile remains of bit flotilla bef }re Silistria, corn mantle.' the Danube at that fortress and farther up. The operation was, however, executed with success through the intrepidity and prudence of Major-General Schilder. The pontoons were launched into the Aijis on the Bth April, reached the Danube at day .break on the 11th, and at two o'clock in the afternoon of the following day were oat of all danger in the Bota. We not only sustained so loss, but the volunteers of the regiments of Archangel and Volguda, stationed on the pontoons, captured a Turkish merchantman (a corvette), with seven men. This corvette has been armed with four cannon, and stationed as a guardship at the mouth of the Bota, where General Schilder has also had two redoubts erected. " The prisoners and deserters from the Turkish for tresses on the Danube agree in stating that there is a great scarcity of provisions, especially at Shutula, where the new Grand Visier had arrived with 12,000 regular troops. The authenticity of these declarations is confirmed by other unexceptionable accounts, according to which the scarcity is (Lily becoming mere alarming, even at Con stantinople, and threatens the innumerable population of that capital with incalculable disasters. " The celebrated Tcbpan OFloll, who commanded at Nicopoli, has lately been arrested by a Capidgi llaschi sent by the Sultan, and conducted into exile. But it is believed that he will be beheaded before he reaches the place of his destination. " As the commencement of fine weather favours the renewal of hostilities, the Commander-in-Chief has thought fit to bring his head-quarters nearer to the Danube, and accordingly left Jassy 14th April." The St. I'etersburgh Journals contain a long list of pro motions both in the civil and military service. We received this morning by the steamer the Ilamburgh Reporter of Friday last, the 15th, but it contains no foreign news of interest. The inundations in the north of Europe have been very destructive to property, as will be seen by the following : (From the Hans/Art-0 Reporter of Friday, May 13.) STOCKHOLM, MAY 8.-We receive most afflicting details of the mischiefs occasioned by the inundation of the rivers in the southern provinces of Sweden. The cities of Cal mar and C.trlscrona, and the surrounding country, appear to have been the principal scenes of de,truction, the former city being at present in a complete state of blockade, the six bridges of communication having been carried away by the violence of the deluge. The calamity is attributed to the sudden melting of the immense mass of snow which fell during the year. The navigation of the river between DalarOn and Stockholm. is not yet open. PARIS, MAY 9.—Five per Cent. closed, for money, at 103 f. sc. ; for end of month, 103 f. 25c. ; Three per Cent. for money at 79f. 10c. ; for raid of month, 19f. 13c. VIENNA, MAY B.—.Metalliqut•s, 97k-; Bank Shares, 1,093. Private letters from Bucharest maintain, that a palace is being prepared there, for the reception of the Emperor of Russia. According to the Courrier de Smyrne of the sth of April, Marshal Maison returns immediately to France, and Major-General Schneider remains with 5,000 men in the Morea. The last letters from Constantinople mention the ar rival of another English vessel with corn, which saile•] into the Dardanelles under the fire of the Russian ships of war. This would seem to prove the correctness of Lord Collingwood's assertion, that an effectual blockade of the Dardanelles was impracticable. It appears that the Sultan pays a high premium to all vessels laden with corn that succeed in forcing the blockade ; this will he an additional inducement to others to imitate the example. BORSEti HALLE, THIS DAY, FOUR O'CLOCK. —WHEAT. —Business in this article has been brisk during the week ; a considerable quantity has been purchased for French and English account, but the arrivals from the interior have been sufficient to supply the vacuum thus created, so that our market continues abundantly supplied with every quality.

The ice being impeded in its course accumulated in an immense mass, and caused the water to rise twelve feet above the usual high water mark, by which all the houses, except such as stood on high ground, were filled with water. The ice hating taken en unusual course, the ships were at first out of danger, but on the 23d the ice forced its way through the dike, and drivinc , in a prodigious mass to the sea, caused Gve ships (two of them Dutch) to sink, and several others to run aground. The ice before this town had floated away, and the water.was so far fallen that no fears were entertained for the city. VIENNA, MAY 6.—Metilliques, 971; Bank Shares, 1091., and in the evening 1091.

PEERAGE. Mr. ADAMS, Counsel for Mr. George Leigh, upon this Peerage being called on, informed their Lord ships that several witnesses were in attendance, but in consequence of the late notice that bad been giVen, rio opportunity bad been afforded to the par tiei to hgve,tbfrit sworn at their Lordships' bar this Session. He i...citif&Netl that he had no precedent whatever to offer upon the & nt s Pnd roost there fore leave it to their Lordships' for deeitioir s whe ther it was competent for those witnesses (xi be before they were re-sworn. Their Lordships after some consideration thought Ruch e course m ght be pursued, but in consequence of the fitidr p!itte of the Berkeley Peerage, their Lordships would take that first ; apprehending they should be able to cotnpleteit to-day, andthe witnesses in the Leigh Peerage might be kept in attendantei in case they should be required. BERKELEY PEERAGE. Their Lordships' then proceeded with this Peerage. Mr. FONBLANQUE, as COuosel for Col. Berkeley, the petitioner, opened the pTtititin to the House, Colonel Berkeley as the possessor of the lands held by the former Baron of Berkeley, insisted by his pe• tition that he was entitled in consequence of the tenure of those possessions to a seat in their Lord ships' House. The Learned Counsel was quite aware there was some degree of novelty in the proposition he had to lay down on part of the petitioner. Anciently there could have been little or no doubt upon the question ; but in consequence of the alteration that had taken place in the law, the case now involved some difficulty. It was his intention to refer to a series of authorities, for the purpose of establishing the proposition, that a right to sit in this House at tached upon the possession of lands. The result of the labours of the Select Committee did not put the House in possession of any thing like a po sitive conclusion as to the course that should be adopted. According to the Norman law, the dignity of a Noble of the realm was at tached to the possession of land. Dow far that was a wise law he should not say. He did not ap pear before the House as an advocate of the pro priety of the law as it stood. The question before the House was not whether the right could be con ferred, but whether it should be allowed ; and should the conviction of their Lordships' mind coincide with his, they would feel no difficulty in allowing the claim of the petitioners, and at the same time be discharging their duties to their Sovereign. The previous Barons of Berkeley had sat in their Lord ships' House by no other right than the possession of these lands, and should that proposition be made out, he had no doubt the antiquity of the . claim would have much weight attached to it. It would be incumbent upon him to prove the petitioner in pos session of the property, and also to satisfy the House of the previous possession of the petitioner's ancestors. Formerly no Baron sat, except under the right of possession of lands. Whether such a , policy was just was not for him to say, but it deserved great coasideration. It was his intention to bring before their Lordships the authority of the first historians and the most profound antiquaries. He would refer their Lordsh i ps to the case of the Earl of Arundel, in Henry the Sixth's time, also Lord Abergavenny, and Lord Roos, during the reign of James the Fiat; all of which clearly established the proposition for which he was contending. He would found his claim upon the 24th chapter and 11th section of the Act of Charles the Second. What could Ise meant by the word feudal used in that Act, but the right of sitting in their Lordships' House. It was not in respect of the Ecclesiastical dignities, high and powerful as they were, that their seats were taken, but in consequence of the pos session of land. The Learned Counsel went at great length into the a uthorities, citing, those of Matthew Paris, the laws in the time of Edward the Confessor, the recognition of those laws in William the Conqueror's, Henry the First's, and Henry the Ild.'s days, the Constitute of Clarendon, and Magna Charts, all of which the Learned Counsel con tended established his proposition, namely, that though the Barony was extinct in consequence of the failure of issue, yet that the person who by de scent, even in possession of the lands formerly be longing to the barony, and from which alone the right to it proceeded, was entitled to the privileges attached to it, and consequently a seat in their Lord ships' House. It was true no evidence could be ad duced of a claim like the present ever being heard judicially before their Lordships before, but he trust ed their Lordships would not feel much difficulty in granting the petitioner what he asked. The Learned Counsel had not concluded his argu ments when we left. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The Court was occupied this morning in heari ng petitions in bankruptcy , none of which possessed any public interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. ROSE D. SIR J. MURRAY. This was an action for board and lodging fur nished to the defendant's wife at Gibraltar, tried at Guildhall, before Lord Tenterden, and the plaintiff non-suited. At the trial an affidavit was put in•that Maria Smith, a lady who was alleged to have been cohabiting with General Murray, and had been sub poenaed by the plaintiff, was unable to attend from illness. Mr. Common Sergeant DENMAN now applied to make a rule absolute, for an attachment against the above lady for contempt of Court, for not attending the said subpoena, or giving information to the plain tiff before trial that she would not be able to attend. The Learned Counsel now submitted that Maria Smith was a material witness to prove that General Murray's lady did not leave his house without suffi cient cause, which he apprehended was the ground of defence. Lord TENTERDEN asked whether she could have been expected to criminate herself Mr. C. Sergeant DENMAN observed, that she might have admitted it, and submitted that it would be a great privilege to all persons guilty of impro prieties, if they were not to be called on to explain their conduct, and if not able to attend to give suf ficient notice to enable a plaintiff to supply their evidence from other witnesses. Lord TENTERDEN diecharged the rule, as he con sidered a positive affidavit that she was ill at the trial was a sufficient answer to the subpoena.-- Rule discharged. TIIE KING V. STEPHEN DUKE. In the case of this defendant who had been con victed of an assault on Mr. George Augustus Poole, at Arundel, several affidavits were put in in justifi cation and extenuation. Lord TENTERDEN thought the case might have been very properly settled at the Quarter Sessions, and tined the defendant 40s. He was also bound in his own reeogstisauces of 1001. to keep the peace for two years. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. HUNT V. DE BLAQUIERE. This was an action against Lieutenant-Genera De Blaquiere, to recover the sum of 450/. for fin niture supplied by the plaintiff, who is an uphol sterer, to Lady Harriet De Blaquiere, the wife of the defendant. Upon the trial it appeared that the defendant and his wife constantly disagreed, and at length the lat ter obtained a divorce from her husband, a mensa Mora, on the ground of adultery on his part. Ali rimy iftg decreed to Lady De 131aquiere by tbd Court at DetAors Commons, to the extent of 3t 0/.. per annum, in th'e year 1822 . , but the defendant , had never paid more the... 1,8951. of it.
