L i fr THE GREEKS. IFrom the Conztitutionnel.l TRIPOIATZA, FEB. 24.—The remainder of the - Society of the lieteristes., who bud -contributed by the false direction they wished to give to a.tfairs, to delay the public ,organization, has lately been entirely annihilated, In the primi .ive establishment of the Provisional Government of Greece., this society had been solemnly abo lished ;, but shortly after, some of its mem bersavailed theinselvesof a >favourable opportu nity of joining some disaffected, headed by Theo -With ttiii reinforcement they had won Over to :their Patty. some distinguished Mili tary chiefs, and under pretenceihat the forms of a . 6,11 goveriunent were ,uUbe.coming during a war, urn which depended,the regeneration of,the_na itotk, or . its aurii4Lation,, they required for Erie Goiernment of. Greece modifications tending to Ma - kejt a GoYernMent . quite- military. The Senate contented itself with opposing to this dairy a mien, tholigh unshaken firmness ; hut the `fatter, mistaking this moderation .for Weakness, becurne more dating; .and having recourse to alt reSsible means, they - succeeded in "briViiig three /timbers of the Executive ; and, eleNtated by this ephemeral success, they thought that they could depend upon the Military Chiefs to rule the _Senate,' and wrest from it the Modifications they , wished for. . ..The Supreme 'Tower then displayed all its strength, and in virtue of the 50th Article of the Constitution, formed .ourof -its own Members :a Committee, «ho indicted Peter Marromichale . , _And reMeta xas, Chem lanipis, all three Members•.of .the Executive Council. The Exe rntive Council was then diasolved, • and iatme diatc4y. recomposed by the Setiate The Mem , Ikeirs appointed to the New Councitare—Lazaros Conduriotis of hydra, President ; l3otassis, of S.pezzia, Vice-President; Jean Coletis, of Epirus, and Nicolos , Londos; of PelopOnnesu's. • This energetic as well as-legal measnrc , proved that the Senate was conscious of its real strength; which it:holds frorn.the nation it represents, and .confounded certain malevolent strangers, who construed the moderation of the Government into 17e0 kness, Colocotroni, Nicetas, •Phlessas, and the other military chiefs upon whom . the disaffected thought they could depend, were the first to corn pliment Government for its resolute behaviour, and the.appointment of another Executive Council ca.: —pabie of re-establishing harmony. Since the restor ation of tranquillity the attention of 'Government . has been particularly directed to the dispositions relating to the next campaign. One of its first proceedings was the enacting of a law for the levying of taxes in the islands of the Archipe lago. It contains many important ameliorations, founded on the experience of flie three last years, and it is hoped that the income of the Archipe lago alone will suffice for the equipment of 0-Ae PORTUGAL. MAacii 22.—We have received a set of the Eco do Patric, a Bahia paper, to the 24th of January. , Theiie papers contain very little that isintercsting, except the tr:dapcholy certainty which they furnish of the progress of re voiationary virulence in that unhappy country, and of the stu died persecution which the European Portuguese there expe rience from come rebellious subjects of the King our Sovereign. lire can assure our readers, that the sound and respectable part of our Brazilian brethren detest these proceedings, and sigh . far the re-establishment of the legitimate authority, without which there can never be repose or happiness in that otherwise lit) highly favoured country. Some sincere persons, following the first impressions of their own pure hearts, suffered them- - telves to be persuaded that the events at Rio de Janeiro, in the month of November, when.his Royal .:Highness Prince Don• Pedro dissolved the so-called Constituent and Legislative As sembly, was the first step towards recognizing, in the face of the whole world, the sacred inalienable rights of his august Father and Sovereign,-obeying the veice of nature and the laws "of religion, and of the country in which he has his patrimony, which is the cradle of his Royal progenitors, and the inhabit ants of which, accustomed to the mild sway of that illustrious bean . ; joyfully • held out their arms to him, and hailed him as .the futUre her of the throne of the virtues of his incomparable amt Most benign Father. Ihe dccrzse of the 12th cf November dispelled this illusion, and the words which assured the public that the new plan of a Constitution which his Royal Highness will propose to the New AssNtibly, will be twice as liberal as that which the dissolve(' Assembly had drawn up, is equivalent to the declaration of the Governor of Bahia, in his proclamation of the 29th of Decem ber, " that only the workmen are changed, and that the plan of the . edifice'which is begun remains the same." [After various other reflections, the article concludes with expressing a confi dence that the revolutionary hydra, which has been overcome in various countries of Europe, will be destroyed in Brazil by the good sense of the Brazilians themselves, who will free the Prince Royal and that Continent from its malignant influence, and .vet the dismemberment with which Brazil is threatened in its consponent parts.]—(Lisbon•Gwite.) BAYONNE INTELLIGENCE. 13AYONNF., APRIL 3.—With the news from Ili &arid of the 29th we have a letter from Cordova of the 21st , wisiCh contains the following statement • " The day before yesterday was a day of horror and desola tion. The absolute -Royalists had resolved to assassinate all the Constitutionalists, and chose for the exectition of their plan &. Joseph's Day. Fortunately they succeeded but partially ;. seven victims only perished. More French troops, it was - said, [night be expected in the city, which would be very desirable, - to keep the people in awe." Front Sevilla -they write that much disorder prevails there, and that the people - commit the most scandalous excesses—that there is no tranquillity either by day or by night; 17 persons have just been executed there. At Valencia the imprisonments continue. Among the per sons or distinction who are arrested is the Marquis of Al itif-davar. Those two cities urgently solicit French troops. It is 'said, in a village of Castilie, the people having risen, forced the doom of the prison, where there were twenty of the rational militia, who were replaced by seven Royal volun-tears., 'lt is certain that numerous executions are on the point of taking place. Ileavy contributions ars to be laid on Madrid., The moment is not favourable. The money raised by the Corfes de £'urete will be soon exhausted ; it will • hardly cover the - first expences of the , journey of the Court to Aranjoes, for which place it set out on the 27th. The same ,may thcrfuneral obsequies of the celebrated Vicuessa, whose re-_ mains were removed to the Jesuits' College of St. Indore, were celebrated with great pomp. A funeral oration was pronounced on the deceased, who is considered as a martyr. The common people say, that his body has remained in a perfect state for these three years, which they ascribe to a miracle, and consider him as a Saint. General Bourmont accompanied his Majesty, and all the French troops - are to evacuate - Madrid by the 30th. It is said, that it is intended to make a trial of the spirit of the capital when it is left to itself. General Quesada, who remains at Madrid with his troops, is said to have made 'himself answerable for the, preservation of tranquillity. All persons even suspected of liberal sentiments have been ordered to remove to the distance of fifteen leagues from Aranjuez. This measure appeared.so severe,. evemuncler present circumstances, that some remonstrances were ven tured on ; but instead of their being listened to, it is appre hended that those who ventured to make them will suffer for their rashness. No stranger will be allowed to stop at Aranjuez more than twenty-four hours, without an express permission of the Government. The late execution of some robbers have not deterred those who fiillow the same profession. The only three diligences.in Spain were robbed on their last journey. Considerable quantities of wool, lately sent from Segovia to Catalonia, were pillaged on the road. Many per sons at Madrid were greatly averse to the King's departure. His Majesty's absence, they said, has too often been the signal for great•misfortunes. It is said that the King will be absent at least 6 months. Some troops were sent before toguard theroad by which the royal family was to travel. Fears are entertain ed that when the French troops have left the capital disorders will ensue. There has been a report of an intention to banish 7,000 or 11,000 persons 'from Madrid; but that Argona, the superintendant of police,. opposed • this rigorous measure, and represented to his Majesty the danger of such a proscription.— However, several persons have been exiled, especially chiefs of the militia; members of the municipality,-&e• All the French, except the. Ambassadors, leave Madrid the Ist of April, to go into cantonments at some leagues from the capital. The gardes du corps : are going to occupy CordoVa ; no more will remain at Aranjuez than are absolutely necessary to do the duty. The troops are dissatisfied with this removal, and the officers say, it is enough to be in Spain, without being banished into the villages. The executions have begun ; two persons were hanged on the 29th. On the same day numerous processions par a ded all the streets of the capital. The soldiers of the Faith, who are recognized by the diversity of their uni forms, have taken possession of the city. Quesada has received, as a reward for his services, the grand cross of St. Ferdinand. It is reported that. 6,000 additional French troops are to enter Spain. - THE ARMY.

Sir Charles APCartity had taken the tieti, and was what the,Ashanfees call in - the bush; that is, the Ashantees will not..fight their enemies, hut will keep them in the bush until 'the sickly season' comes on to destroy them. Every European had left Cape Coast, to join the forces, carrying supplies, Sec. Whert the Success sailed, the 'several stations and factoriei on the coast were con sidered as being healthy; but the climate had very re cently been destructive to the European Officers and sol diers which had arrived bat a short time.

On Tuesday arrived the brie." Swiftsure, E. Bransfield, Mas ter, in twenty days front Gibraltar, bringing passengers, who, landed yesterday, (on the Swiftsure being released from quaran tine), and the vessel sailed for the River. She left Gibraltar on the 17th ult. under convoy of the Alacrity, 13, Capt. Yorke, and parted company next day off Cape St. Vincent, 27 sail in company, the greater., part bound to .England. The Swiftsure was driven onshore in. Gibraltar Bay, in a heavy gale of wind, on Feb. 17, but by,the-prompt, cheerful, and great exertions of Capt. Alacnamarit, of the Chanticleer, and Com modore Jones, of the United States frigate Constitution, she was got off, as soon as the gale abated, with comparative little damage. Such was the praise-worthy kindness of Commodore Jones, that when the Chanticleer sailed to join in the blockade of Algiers (by which she was prevented giving further assist- ance), he sent for the sails of the Swiftsure, had them dried and repaired on board his own frigate; and continued to send two Officers on board daily, until the Swifts ur e w as repaired rig ged, ballasted, and ready for sea. When the Swiftsure sailed, the Revenge, 78, (Vice-Admiral Sir Harry Neale), Tribune, Active,, Phaeton, Naiad, and Cambrian frigates, Ranger and were blockading Algiers. . Lieut. Wynne Baird, of the Rose, and Lieut. F. A. Wil kinson, of the Dispatch are promoted to the rank of Com mander. Messrs. 0. 11..heatlicote and G. Kennedy. are pro moted to the rank of Lieutenant.

Ambrose is appointed Agent for Transports afloat, and to the command -of the Loyal Briton, which, with the Marquis of Huntley transport, from.the River, will embark at Greenock, for Gibraltar, the 94th Regiment, now quartered at Glasgow. The Loyal Briton will sail hence for Greenock on Monday. LOCAL ATTRACTION OF SHIPS. The Board of •Longitude have conferred the Parliamentary Premium of SOW. on Mr. PETER BARLOW, of the Royal Military Academy, for his method of contracting the local at traction of vessels. The great quantities of iron employed at this time in the construction and equipment of ships of war, produce a° much deviation in the compass (varying according to the direction of the ship's head) as to render it almost an useless instrument, particularly in high Northern and South ern latitude. It appears by Lieutenant Foster's report of ex periments Made in his Majesty's ship Conway, under the su .-perintendence of Captain Basil Hall, to lat. Cl. S. and under that of Capt. Clavering, in the recent voyag e of the Griper, to lat. 80 deg. North, that th e difference in the, bearing of an Object with the ship's head at East and West, amounted to 28 degrees before the latter vessel lift the Nore ; this difference afterwards amounted to fifty degrees at the North Cape, and to 76 degrees at Spitbergen. Great, however, as this effect was, the method recommended by Mr. Barlow was completely successful. This is extremely simple; it consists in merely placing a small piece of iron abaft the compass, in such a situation as to counteract the: effect Of the ship in any one place';' after which, widiout removing it, it continues to do the same in all parts of the world,- whatever change may take Three.plftl i ! r e um ma t g i n s e d d i c seo n v e e e r d y le : . —ltwill i a p c o e r t i a n n . tthacdav a ip dvantages e will intensityresult o add greatly to the safety of vessel s i n our Ch anne l, i n d ar k and. blowing weather; it will tend to the general correction of oand will dispel nine out of ten of th t e ri tjsuppositiousl::.rts Variation; current , so liberally, supplied by Navigators, to account for every. .rernarkable disagreement between Rec. koning Lit 4 Observation, arid of which there can. be no doubt the greater-humber have arisen from this long neglected error in the compass. . .

[From the British and Indian Observer of yesterday.] We yesterday received, by the Forbes, Bom bay Papers to the 6th of December; and during the week, Bengal to the 15th of November : The Comniander-in-Chief of Bombay; accompaied by his suite; left the Presidency on the 3d of December for the Northern Districts. His Excelleny proceeded overland to Bassein, from whence -he was to embark on board the piliot brig Palinurus, for Surat, and was not expected back before March or April. [Bombay Courier,- December 6.1 An unusual degree of activity has prevailed in our cotton market during the last two or three weeks ; and since the arri val of the Columbia from Liverpool, a rise in the price of about 10 rupees per candy has taken place. The present prices may be quoted as under : Fair - Surat or broach cotton, per candy of 7 cwt., 138 to 140 rupees; Bowonaghur, or China market, 124 to 126' do. ; Dakras, 116-to 118 do. _ _ Exchange on London, 6 month's sight, ls.

The vessels ferming the expedition against the Burmahs, encountered a smart gale from the Southward, which drove them into four fathoms water in the Huneen Gutta ; before they could secure the vessels, the wind choped round from northward and blew them out again; but they were all safe off Cox's Bazar, when the Dianah, steam-boat, left them on the Bth, at four p. m., with the exception of the Research, which had not been heard off after the gale on the 4th. She is the H. C. new surveying vessel comrnalitlaby Captain Crawford, and must have, been sadly crowded, having besides her own crew, 200 troops and six officers on board; but being a strong new ship, it is to be hoped she is safe. • . Captain Baker, the POlitical Agent, who proceeded with the expedition against the Burmahs, having returned in the Diana, make us suppose that affairs there will not be settled so amica bly as we had reason at first to imagine, but the result we hope shortly to be able to lay before our readers. Lieut.-colonel Shapland, C. 8., who as senior ()Nicer commands the expedition, left Cox's Bazar some days previous to the arrival of the troops. —( Bengal Hark, Nov. 14.) The Commander-in-Chief, Sir. Edward Paget, was to have left Cawnpore on the 25th of October, on a tour of inspection through the upper provinces. Air. Adam had arrived at Bombay on the 12th of November. His health had been much improved by the voyage. It was expected that he would leave Bombay early in llacember ' and return overland to Calcutta, via Poonah, 'Arungabad and Jey poor to the Bengal provinces. Sir Charles G. Metcalf, Bart.

Journal of the rules established by government for the regula tion of the periodical press. - The Editor of the Calcutta Journal, notwithstanding those communications, has since by the republication in successive numbers of that newspaper, of numerous extracts from a pamphlet published in England, revived the discussion of to pics which had before been officially prohibited, and has main tained and enforced opinions and principles which, as applicable to the state of this country, the Governor-General in Council had repeatedly discouraged and reprobated; the extracts them selves so published containing numerous-passages which are in direct violation of the rules prescribed by Government under date the sth of April last. . The Right Hon. the Governor-General in Council has in con sequence this day been pleased to resolve, that the licence granted by Government on the 18th of April, 1823, authorising and empowering John Francis Sandys and Peter Stone D'Ro zario, to print and publish in Calcutta a newspaper called " the Calcutta Journal, of politics, and general literature," and supplement thereto issued on Sundays entitled and called " Ne uf Weed y.Register and General Advertiser" for the stations of the interior, with heads of the latest intelligence published as a .supplement to the country edition of the Calcutta Journal, " shall be revoked and recalled, and you are hereby apprised and respectively required to take notice that the said license is resumed, revoked and recalled accordingly." I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient humble Servant, W. 13. BAYLE Y,- . Chief Secretary to Government. Council Chamber, Nov: 6_, 1823. By the Bombay - Papers we learn, that the Government have taken into consideration plans to facilitate the internal in tercourse of India ; and that instead of the mails being car ried by running men, horses are to be employed. We copy the following from the Bombay Gazette of the lUth of 'Novem ber last. " A plan is under experiment for mounting the dawl . , In the Ene of communication with Calcutta, to be conveyed at the rate of eight English miles an hour on the average. We are not aware of the existence of any difficulty to the success of the measure, and to its prosecution even during the monsoon ; and entertain no doubt that when the riders shall have been trained to their duty, and the machine brought to its regular operation, that between many of the stages, if not the whole, the dawk may be conveyed at the rate of ten miles an . hour; which. tak ing the distance to be run at 1,200• miles, gives only six days, us the period within which the correspondence can be carried on between the two Presidencies : a facility of intercourse involv ing advantages of no ordinary consideration, equally of a poli tical and commercial nature."
