We have this morning received by Express f rom Paris, the important intelligence that hi• de CUATEAUSRIAND has retired from the French Ministry, and that M. de VILLELE has taken the Portfolio for Foreign Affairs, ad in t+, until the KING shall hive appointed a successor to M. de CHATEAUBRIAND. Though f rom the brilliant talents of M. de CHATEAUBRI- , 44 0 ) it will perhaps be found difficult to supply his Place in the Cabinet of Paris, yet it is a most im portant and auspicious circumstance for France, and perhaps for the peace of the civilized world, that M. do VILLELE, notwithstanding his l'ecent financial defeat, has been able to retain his post. The Paris Papers were not published 'when our Express came away, nor would the partial change in the Ministry be communicated to the Public, perhaps so soon as their publication ; but - it is nevertheless quite certain that the event which we have just announced has actually tak e n place. The French Rentes at Paris were 104 f, We have received the Paris Papers of Mon day, They continue to speculate on the un lettled state of the Administration, in conse quence of M. de VILLELE'S defeat on the Finan- tial Project; 'but it is singular that it seems to be the opinion at Paris that M. de VILLELE alone spill retain his seat. Both Messrs. de CHATEAU-, il ist=th and CORBIERE are now mentioned as on t he eve of retiring, and amongst their supposed ticcessors we find the names of Prince POLIG 2"Cit the Duke of MONTMORENCY, M. de ?MAR tiG:ftic, and M. SIMEON. The first of these, }h owever, was considered to distance all the rest in the Royal favour ; and no doubt was enter tained of his being appointed, if the expected •L he of the present Ministry took place. he Cunstitutionnel contains a letter from Odessa, d ated the 10th ult., which states that several I) lplornatists and a number of skilful Engineers were on their way to Constantinople in the train v . General GUILLEMINOT, the new French Am °assador to the Porte. They are distined, it is said, to execute important missions in Asia, and e specially in Persia, and the particular object w hich General GUILLEMINOT himself was or dered to keep in view is described to be, 44 the r estoration of the influence which France enjoyed 1 a th e East before the Revolution." This m a y be a very proper object for the French Govern- Meta to pur.',ue, but it is one which requires watchfulness on the part of those whose oriental 13 essessions are contiguous to the countries where France is desirous of re-establishing her ancient I nfluence. General GUILLEMINOT is said to be t he bearer of rich presents for the GRAND SIGNOR 41 1(1 his Ministers. The Monitcur of Sunday an nounces in a letter from Copenhagen, dated May 25, that " the French frigate Arethusa, and the Egeria and Seine corvettes, which sailed from 'rest on the 12te May, had arrived in the road °f Copenhagen on the 22d, after a fine passage of ten days, and that that division, commanded . 1 ,1 Capt. LECOUPE, was going to the Baltic." — No information whatever is given respecting the 'views of the French Government in sending this s quadron to the Baltic. The same Paper con tains a notice from the Director of die indirect taxes that the samples of foreign leaf tobacco for ,The Royal manufactories not having been received " 1 time, the time for deciding on the offers made "3' those who desire to contract is deferred from t he 9th June till the 23d. 'Ve have endeavoured to dissipate the delu. Mons which we fear still exist, in some degree, ' 4 O the South American question. Some of our t ''ontemporaries, we observe, are beginning to get better information on this subject than they pre viously possessed. We copy the following pa ragraph, which has, no doubt, very much sur. prised some persons, from the New Times of this morning : " A cotemporary has asserted that the dispatches lately re ceived from Mexico bring most satisfactory accounts of the state of that country. We regret to say that this is not the fact. The representations which have hitherto reached Govern ment on this subject by no means justify the wish expressed by the Liverpool Meeting for a speedy recognition of the new State ; at least, as to Mexico. The. Public will of course ex pect his - Majesty's Ministers to proceed in so delicate a busi ness with no less caution than,firmness. They have sent out Commissioners to examine into the state of the country. Time must be given" till those reports ate drawn up, weighed, and subjected to mature deliberation ; and then finally the decision must be, not according to our wishes, but our interests and duties. We can assert, on the best authority, that Mexico is at present in a state of extreme anarchy ; and that the contend ing factions exhibit conduct little different, in many instances, from that of savages.—‘l 7 hat effect the arrival of ITITRBIDE niay have in conciliating or still further exasperating the op posing parties, it remains for time alone to shew." Even the Morning Chronicle, whose faith seemed to he absolutely insassailable as to every thing respecting South America, begins at length to have its doubts andlears, of which the following extract is an evidence We have occasion to know that individuals, whose station gives importance to what falls from them, continue to represent the contents of the dispatches received on Saturday from Mexico as of the most unfavourable nature.. We know not ourselves what to think of the matter • but it is the bounden duty of per sonS in office to let the public know the real state of the case, that if the reports are without foundation men's minds may be set fairly at rest.—Why are the resources of the country lavished on Agents and Commissioners, if the people are to derive no benefit from their reports to guide them in their operations ?" No person in this country can be supposed to be better informed as to the true state of the cause of the Greeks than Mr. HUME, M.P., in consequence of the honourable exertions for its support by which he has distinguished himself as a Member of the Greek Committee. It is there fore with great pleasure that we lay before our Readers the following document, which, pro ceeding from such a quarter, most satisfactorily confirms all that has recently been said as to the good understanding and prosperous auspices with which the Greeks have entered o❑ the present campaign. Mr. HUME's letter is in reply to some misrepresentations which had appeared in a Morning Paper of yesterday : TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW T1M,73. London, Bth June, 1824. SLR—As I cannot suppose you would willingly circulate errors and misrepresentations, calculated to do much mischief, and allow them to remain uncontradicted, I hope you will in sert this reply to an Anonymous communication on the subject of the Greek Loan in your Paper of to-day. So fi:r from the two parties referred to in that letter being at open war, it appears by the last accounts (which come down to the sth of May) that a perfect understanding existed between them. Colocotroni was acting against Petras, under the autho rity of the Legislative and Executive Bodies. Odysseus, who never has on any occasion lent himself to a faction, commanded in Eastern Greece, while Maurocordato was in possession of the Western Provinces, acting under the same authorities. The Senate, chosen by the general voice of the people, continue to enjoy the confidence of the nation, and the changes which have taken place in the Members of the Executive have only been such as have been provided for by the Constitution, and have been effected by Constitutional forms. It is most true that no part of the Greek Loan can be pa d over to the Greek Government until the contract shall have been solemnly and effectively ratified ; but until that is done, the Greek Deputies have not the slightest control over It. Standing in the double relation of friends to the Greeks, and trustees for those who invested their money for the furtherance of the Greek cause, Mr. Edward Ellice, Mr. A. Loughnan, and myself, have taken every precaution which prudence could suggest for the security and honour of both. I would observe, that eVcry Subscriber to the Greek Loan will, on application to MesSrs. Loughnan, Son, and O'Brien, in Coleman-street, the Agents for the Loan, receive every in formation that can be required respecting it. As to the disposal of the funds collected by subscription for the Greeks, statements of their appropriation have been already printed in all the daily newspapers ; and it is the desire of the Greek Committee that every individual subscriber should be fully satisfied by a reference to the books of the Committee, which may be seen at the office of Mr. Bowring, the honorary Secretary, No. 5, Jeffrey-square, or at the meetings of the Com mittee at the Crown and Anchor in the Strand, every alternate Saturday. In making accusations against persons and governments, especially against men struggling for their existence, an anony mous mode is not that which honours the accuser. I have the honour to subscribe myself, Sir, your obedient Servant, JOSEPH HUM E. N.B.—As Mr. Ellice is in the country, and time will not admit of my seeing Mr. Loughnan, 1 send this under my own signature only. German Papers to a late date have arrived.— They state that more business had been done at the Leipsic fair, just finished, than any fair there for the I,lst 20 years. The Leipsic Bankers not having sufficient cash to honour the bills drawn on them, applied on the 15th ult. to the Saxon Government for a loan of 600,000 dollars, at four per cent. interest, for nine months. The KING immediately transmitted to them from Dresden 300,000 dollars, to be used without interest, and promised that, should it be found necessary, ano ther remittance to the same amount should ar rive at Leipsic by the Ist inst. The report is repeated that the Viceroy of Egypt alleges the late catastrophe at Cairo as au excuse for not co-operating in the expedition against Greece. ARRIVAL OF lIIS MAJESTY IN TOWN.—Last night, a' a quarter before 11 o'clock, the KING arrived at his Palace in Pall-mall, where he will hold a Levee this day at two o'clock. DUKE OF YORK'S LEvEr.--Yesterday after noon, at four o'clock, the Duke of YORK held a Levee as Commander-in-Chief, at his Office in the llorse Guards, which was attended by-- The Marquis of Bute, Lord Brudenell, Lord George Beres ford, General Cockburn, Lieutenants-Generals Sir Thomas Hislop. Sir Warren Peacock, Sir John Oswald, and Durham, Major-Generals the lion. Brand, Sir C. P. Belson, Sir J. Malcolm, Sir Victor Von Arentschildt, Scott, Hamilton, and Mainwaring, Admiral Markham, and near fifty other Military Officers. Letters have been received from Maracaibo, dated on the 3d of April. Tranquillity conti uued to prevail throughout that district of the Colombian Republic, and the people were culti vating commerce, and all the arts of peace. His Britannic MAJESTY'S Consul, Mr. SUTHERLAND, had entered on his office, and in the execution of its important duties he bad given great satisfac tion, as well to British settlers, as to the whole of the commercial population. _ . Dispatches were received yesterday at the Co lonial Office, from Lieutenant-General Sir HENRY WARD, K.C.8., Commander of the Forces at Barbadoes. A Mr. CAYALrrti, formerly Intendant to ITUR BIDE, and the chief manager of his financial con cerns in Mexico, arrived in the last Jamaica packet. THE PARLIAMENT. Yesterday orders were given at the different Public Offices to have all the papers laid before Parliament forthwith, that had been required to be forwarded to eithe r House,; and to the Clerks and Officers of the House of Corn mons, to have all the several Bills now in hand immediately delivered to. .the, several Members, as they were to be forwarded, through their several stages without delay, preparatory to the prorogation of Parliam e nt. The present intention is declared to b e , at t h e G over nment Offices, that the prorogati on s h a ll t a ke place on Thursday, the 17th, or Friday, the 18th instant. There is nothing in the business of either (louse to prevent the prorogation taking place thus early. All the Gove rnment Bill s and mea sures are before the Parliament, and have pro ceeded to the second reading or to the Com mittee; so that they can cause no delay. It is known that both Houses have Committees, only recently appointed, still sitting to inquire into the state of the disturbed districts of Ire land. The Commons have made one Report with evidence on the subject, in which Report the Committee lament the necessity of recom mending a continuation of the Irish Insurrection Act, which they nevertheless declare to be a violent departure front the fixed princi pies. of the Constitution ; and when that Re port was presented, Mr. Gouiburn gave notice that on the succeeding day he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to continue the Insurrection Act. Sir J. Newport, and other Members, objected to any motion on the sub ject until the Report and Evidence were printed. The Lords have printed some of their evidence, but only for the use of their Committee. A Bill l for the continuation of the Irish Insurrection Act has been introduced into the House of Lords, and is in progress, so that it will only have to pass the Commons, and then be prepared for the Royal Assent.--(Morning Herald.) MR. OXBER THE ACTOR.--This morning early, Mr. Oxacartv, an Actor of well-known talents as a Comedian, died suddenly of an apo plectic fit, at his house in Drury-lane. He had some time ago been visited by two attacks of the same kind, but his health appeared to be per fectly restored. Besides his profession as an Actor, be possessed wine-vaults in Drury-lane, and a printing press, from which several literary works periodically issued, lie was origivally a printer. There was a peculiar humour in his acting, and it marked his conversation in private life. He was shrewd, good-humoured, and intel ligent. He had renewed an engagement for three years with Mr. ELLISTON just before he was doomed to make his awful exit from the stage of life. His printing press had been removed from town to Camberwell, and he went yesterday to inspect its operations, lie was about 45 years of age, and has left a widow and two children, who, if they should want the support of the theatri cal community and the public at lafge, will doubtless experience a liberal patronage. ALARM OF FIRE AT CARLTON PALACE.— reat agitation was produced, about 11 o'clock last night,iin the ne ighbourhood of Pall-Mall, by a report that Carlton Hous e was on fire, and vast crowds assembled near th e spot. We are happy to state, however, that there was very slight foundation f or th e alarm,. We understand that some part of the fu rn i ture in an anti-room had caught fire, but that it w as the arrival of the engines. extinguished before Tl4e Duchess of CLA Duchess of Kent , at her apartment s at t h e Ki ng ' s P a l ace, Ken sington. The Royal Duchesses h onoured t h e I ta li an O pera ktxcE (lined with the House with their presence in the evening.—The Duchess of Kent and the Duchess of Gloucester visited Prince Leopold yesterday.—Princess Augusta rode out yesterday in an open carriage and four in the neighbourhood of Chelsea. CADIZ, MAY 13.—We experienced one of the most severe gales of wind on tke 7th and Bth instant that has been witnessed in this bay for many years. It begun to blow from the north-cast and cast on Saturday, and on Sunday it increased almost to a hurricane. Nearly ail the ships in the bay suffered, more or less; some, indeed, became total wrecks upon- the rocks, and others drifted over on the Port St. illary's coast. The Spanish Patriot, of London, Captain BnAtio, was obliged to cut and put to sea, and the greatest fears' were entertained for her safety in pass ing the rocks betbre she got clear of the bay ; however, she very fortunately . escaped, and is now just returned to an chorage. An American vessel, laden with quicksilver, with her masts overboard, and dragged from her anchors, anti de serted by . the captain and crew, was seen at five o'clock on Sun day moring on the opposite coast. Sh e h as s i nce been got off with damage.—Sir J. M. I)O YLE left thi s p l ace t h e ot h er day for Lisbon. He succeeded in sellin g his steam-vessel to ad vantage to the Guadalquiver Company ; but owing to some private arrangements entered into at home with another in dividual, he had many difficulties to surmount before the sale was completed. _ . IVe understand that Government have given orders that all packages of letters passing through the Post Offices for the Brazilian Commissioners now in London, should be exempt from postage. A letter from Buenos Ayres of March 12, states, that an American vessel had arrived t h ere i n 50 daysf o romffiGuirbsr, bearingaltar,lavingof dispatches a Portuguese ship 00 board tw o Por tuguesetransmitted by duplicates from Lisbon. l beer addressed ese troops in tolitehsee Commander ar o e f sa t i h d e to p l o ra i v tu e gu Mont© Video, desiring him to remain i n th at p l ace until furth er or d ers s hould arrive fr om P ortuga l . By a conv ent i on w i t h General Lecor, the Bra zilian C omman d er, the place had however been surrendered to the Brazilian troop s ; and the Portuguese troops, which under that conven tion had em b arke d on the 6th of March, had already proceeded down the river as far as Mal- Were sent, but with what resu l t did no t transpi re. o f the or else donado, v v hi t h er the di s p a tch es Whatever p f s rom Portugal t o d elay the from Mont e Vi deo, it is may have been the ultimate views of th ose w h o departure transmitted t d ro e o r evident that the measure now ceases to be of any political imp or t ancel as more enlight ene d views are well known, since it was issued, to have found their way into the Portuguese Cabinet. THE KING. WINDSOR, JUNE B.—Yesterday afternoon his MAJESTY again dined a t th e R oya l L o d ge , i n the Great Park, and re turned to the Castle at nine 'o'clock. This -afternoon, at three o'clock, the King and his retinue left the Castle in the pony phaetons for the Royal Lodge; where, after taking his usual drives about the grounds, his Majesty and suite will dine at seven. It is expected that his Majesty will leave the Lodge at eight o'clock for Carlton Palace, attended ,by an escort of the Royal Horse Guards, who have received orders to be in readi ness at the Lodge at seven for that purpose. • His Majesty will return to the Castle again on Saturday, as the Royal Lodge will not be sufficiently completed for the reception of so many visi tors as the King intends entertaining during the race week.

I n the principal drawing-room at the west end of the house, in which the Prince received his distin guished guests, a grand Concert was given of vocal and instru mental music, under the direction of Signor Rossini, who presided at the grand plan-forte. At the head of the vocal department was Madame Pasta. The principal horn was Mr. Puzzi, and the principal double bass was Mr. Dragonetti. The different performances closely arrested the attention of the company. The room at the east end was set apart for refreshments, in which there was a most choice and profuse cold collation, and great abundance of rare fruits of every description, also the most delicious and great variety of ices, sweetmeats, &c., by the Prince's confectioner, with which the company were abundantly supplied by his Royal Highness's pages, dressed in new uniforms of purple and gold, and wore bags.

KING'S THEATRE.-The Royal Pair from the Sandwich Islands were present last night at this Theatre. The Opera was Tancredi. They were received by an audience, which filled the House, with every demonstration of respect, which they courteously returned. We are glad to see these extraordinary,visitors treated in so respectful a manner, because they are not only deserving attention from their local rank, but prospectively as belonging to a region that, in the progress of manners, may confidently be ex pected to enjoy all the advantages of civi lized life, and to become an important com mercial Ally to this country.—They could not be expected to pay much attention to the Opera, with all its musical charms, but the dances, which were executed with ad mirable grace, skill, and activity, appeared to afford them particular pleasure. Many persons of high rank were present, who all joined in cheering the interesting strangers, as they have been properly designated. DRURY-LeNr.— The Hypocrite, and The Liar, as represented on Monday for the benefit of the Lessee, with the assistance of CATALAN", were repeated last night, and again attended by a nume rous audience. The Free-tickets wereagain refus ed admission, a circumstance not only offensive, but impolitic, as there was room enough on both nights for those who presented them. This i s ungracious treatment to those to whom the pd vilege of admission is extended, and indeed sur prizing, considering the liberal character gene rally attributed to the present Manager. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.-This convenient and elegant Theatre was opened last night for the benefit of a young Lady, named CounTENAv, who assumed the difficult character of Lady Macbeth, and Lady Racket in Three Weeks after Marriage. We shall not officiate as rigid critic' upon an occasion that calls for lenity, but content ourselves with s a yi ng , t h a t i n th e terrific part in the play, and the comic one of the farce, she dis played talents that promised much in her favour. CO UllT OF KING'S'BENCH.-(Tiir. DAY.) THE RING W. SPENCER. Mr. SCAItLETT stated, that this was an•indict ment for perjury against the defendant, assigned upon his answer to a bill in Chancery, filed by a person of the name of Edwards against him to compel the' execution of an agreement to grant a right of way over a piece of ground to two houses, which the defendant intended to build under Edwards; as' ground landlord. The assignment of perjury was' swearing that certain words struck out of the agreement in question were struck out, not before but after the execu tion of the instrument. Mr. GURNEY took. an objection to a variance between "the record and the answer sworn by de fendant, namely, the distinclion between house and houses adjoining. This objection was held by the Lord Chief Justice to be fatal to the in dictment.—Verdict, Not Guilty. OLD BAILEY—(Ttras DAY.) CARLILE'S BLASPHEMOUS PUBLICATIONS.- Rickard Hassell and Michael Connor were this day tried for a similar offence to that for which William Campion was yester day convicted, for which see TUE SUN of yesterday. The result was, that they were both convicted. :Mr. FnEwen, the Barrister, appeared as Counsel for them, and avowed that-he did so from a sense that religious persecution ought not-to exist in .this country.

Two islands resembling sand-banks, with trees, were seen bearing S.W. by S.; stood on towards them until the coral bottom was discovered under us, when we tacked to the E.N.E., soundings in stays two casts 18 fathoms. Sent the gig to ex plore the islands, distance oil them four miles, and stood ofr and on until her return. Her report was, that reefs extended from both islands in an direction, that they are other wise steep to appro a ch. Not finding a good landing on the north ward, they pulled to the southward—soundings between them 20 fathoms, and not less than nine. Landing on the N.E. side of the island, found it covered with various sea-birds, many sitting on their eggs in the sand, and others in the shrubs. At five, saw a range of breakers from the mast-head, bearing S. E., distance off' them supposed eight or ten miles, with an apparent clear sea between them and the islands. Bore up to dee W. S. W. At sun-set no soundings and a clear sea a-head resumed our course to the W. N. W. The Avon's Islands may be made and passed to the southward within two miles, or less if preferred. In case of emergency, I should not hesitate, with a commanding breeze, to run between them before noon, as the coral bottom may be distinctly seen in eight fathoms." THE POLAR EXPEDITION. [EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED THURSO, MAY 31.] " The Herla and Fury passed through the Pentland Frith yesterday afternoon, with their colours flying. They had 3 tine favourable breeze, and as it still continues, it is supposed that this evening these brave men will, for a time, bid farewell to the shores of their native isle. " They were piloted through the Frith by a fishing smack, the master of which reports that the crews of both vessels were in great spirits; and most of them who could write gladly cm braced the Opportunity of his returning to the shore to forward a few farewell lines to their relations and friends, " An official dispatch for the Admiralty, and a bag of letters from each ship, which were sent to the Custom House here, accompanied by a polite card from Capt. Parry, have, in terms of his request, been forwarded by the mail, agreeably to their several addresses. The impression on the seals of many of the seamen's letters was—' Though lost to sight to memory dear ;' a motto no doubt reciprocal to the feelings of their friends at home, who from this time must feel a deep anxiety for the suc cess and safety of these brave and intrepid adventurers, a feeling in which their countrymen in general must also participate."
