'Tae following extract of a letter from Naples was this afternoon posted at Lloyd's:— " NAPLLS, MAT Majesty's ship Naiad captured an Algerine frigate off Gergenti on the lit instant, after a severe action of one hour." Just as we were going to press, we received the third Number of the Greek Telegraph, established at Missolonghi, under the auspices of Lord ByaoN. It is dated Missolonghi, 15th April, and contains intelligence very favourable to, the Greek cause, which we will insert in TILE S l lO of Monday. There is a most ridiculous report in the City this morning, purporting that Prince POLIGNAC has gone over to Paris for the purpose of pre- Paring to attend a Congress at Frankfort. We are authorised to give this absurd rumour the most unqualified contradiction. Prince Pow GN AC has gone to Paris for the sole purpose of giv ing his vote in the Chamber of Peers in favour of the Project of Law for the Reduction of the 'tellies. The report which we have just con tradicted renders it necessary, perhaps, to re. Pala, in the strongest terms, the assurance that we have already given the Public, viz., that no Congress whatever is contemplated, -- and that the Financial arrangements of the Continental Powers render the mainte. Hance of peace so much the interest of all the States, that there is not the slightest danger of the interruption of European tranquillity. Letters have been received from Lord BAGOT, at St. Petersburgh, giving the most satisfactory insurances of the pacific views of the Emperor ALEXANDER. The Noble Lord, however, states, -that the Russian Cabinet have formally complained of the misrepresentations of the views of his hiPERIAL MAJESTY, which have been given by the public press both of France and England. Th e reduction of the interest of the Public I)ebt of Russia engrosses, almost exclusively, the attention of the EMPE►LOR and of his Minicters. A Private Letter from Lisbon received by the last conveyance via Paris, states that Lord BERESFORD is in point of fact at the head of the Portuguese Army, having been Prevailed upon to accept the command, as Lieutenant General under the KING. The letter goes on to state that Lisbon is perfectly tranquil, hod that the prospect of preserving the internal Peace of The kingdom is considered certain, in .COns e qu e nce of the QUEEN and the Infant Don llauEr, having been completely deprived of all power to create future confusion. The mer- Audio interest of the Capital now feel the most perfect confidence, and are renewing their Correspondence with this country in language truly gratifying. We have received the Paris Papers of Wed nesday and the Etoile of Thursday. We extract the subjoined additional documents, illustrative of the recent events at Lisbon, from the Journal (kr Dl:bats. We also subjoin the joint note of the great Bankers, Alessrs.RoTnscill LD, BARING, and LAFITTE, relative to a singular mis-statement H n the Report of the Commission of the Chamber or Peers on the reduction of the Rentes, and to Which the Dodo of the preceding day referred, in its report of the proceedingsof the Chamber : PROCLAMATION of the . : KING to the NATION. FROM ON BOARD THE WINDSOR CASTLE. " PoßTuGuisE!—Your King does not abandon you. He only seeks to deliver you from the terror and anxiety which press upon you ; to re-establish the public tranquillity, and to tear the veil which still conceals the truth from you, in the cer tain hope, that at his call all this loyal nation will unite to suppo r t the throne, and to put an end to the shock of exalted 'pinions and passions, which have produced such a fatal anarchy, a nd menaced the Government with a total dissolution. " My son, the Infant Don Miguel, who covered himself with glory a short time ago by the heroic action which he performed, Is the same who now, drawn aside by sinister inspirations, and deceived by perfidious counsels, has proceeded t o comm i t ac t s , Which, if just and necessary, should alone have emanated from iy sovereign authority ; he has committed an outrage against the Royal power, which admits of no division. " In the morning of the 30th of April, all the troops of the Capital appeared under arms, and my son was seen to leave the Royal Palace, to place himself at their head ; and to order, With ou t any authority of mine, the arbitrary . arrest of an im mense number of individuals of all classes, invested with the chief powers of the state, in whom were comprised my own Ministers and some of my own household. The palace which I inhabit was seen surrounded with an armed force, or rather was t ransformed into a prison, and all access to my Royal Person was barred during several hours. Then . were observed proceed ings so violent, that in the latter days they amounted nearly to open rebellion, while all the representatives of the Sovereigns of Europe thought it their duty to protest formally against the violation of my Royal authority. " A resolution so rash, and which threatened to lead to con sequences the most fatal—such an abuse of the confidence which I had placed in my son, have found no other explanation or excuse than a supposition of a conspiracy, which, even if it had any foundation, could not have justified such unheard-of proceedings. " Meanwhile, as I desired, even at the price of the greatest sacrifices, to preserve the public tranquillity and the harmony that reigned among all branches of the Royal Family, I was pleased, by my decree of the 3d instant, to order that judges should be appointed to proceed legally against the accused, and to pardon my son for the excesses of jurisdiction which he had committed, in the hope that the just course of the laws being thus re-established, revolutionary measures would cease, and good order would gradually re-appear. I obtained nothing of that which my paternal heart desired with anxiety. On the contrary, the arrests continued, as likewise the orders issued in the name of my son, and signed for the most part by obscure individuals, who have no share in the Government. " Determined to put an end to this public scandal, and to the degradation of my Royal authority—outraged to the ma nifest detriment of my faithful subjects and finding no means of making known my Royal will, because I was surrounded by the factious persons who deceived my son, and who, on the 30th of April, had deprived me of my liberty, 1 formed the resolution to avoid a struggle of which the issue could not be doubtful, considering the known fidelity of the Portuguese nations, to go on board a British line-of-battle ship at anchor in this port, (where I have been followed by the Representa 'fives of the Sovereigns of Europe), in order that I might frankly make known to my loyal subjects my situation, and call them, if necessary, to my defence. " Having heard the counsel of my Ministers, of persons of wisdom, fearing God, and actuated by a zeal for my service, I have resolved to resume the authority of Generalissimo of my Royal armies, and to dismiss the Infant I)on 3liguel from the command-in-chief of the army with which I had invested him; forbidding all the authorities, and all and each of wiy subjects, to obey the orders of the said Infant, or those given in his name, under pain of being treated as rebels to the Royal power, which appertains, by the grace of God, to me alone. " Portuguese !—Such are the first measures which I took. I then employed myself in giving proper orders to set at liberty the innocent who are involved in these arbitrary proscriptions, as well as to punish those who may be really culpable as im plicated in the manoeuvres of secret associations, against which proceedings shall be instituted according to the existing laws. Thus virtue and loyalty will be set at liberty, and crime will be punished. " Soldiers !—I do not reproach you with any thing which you have done. You have obeyed the voice of the Chief whom I placed over you, and in doing so you have only performed your duty. That Chief, without experience, has been involun tarily led astray by perfidious Counsels, entirely against his natural character and his filial obedience. I have taken from him the authority which perverse intriguers, without any public character, had led him to abuse. 1 order you to acknowledge only my Royal authority, in virtue of which I enjoin you to make no use of the arms intrusted to your fidelity but in my service, and in obeying the Chiefs which my Royal will has confirmed or appointed. By this proclamation, I confirm in the exercise of authority those who are invested with it, so far as I do not order the con trary; and I command all and every one to chew the strictest obedience to whatever shall be prescribed in my Royal name by those who may henceforward command you. " Subjects of all classes, observe order, and hope from your Sovereign the re-establishment of public tranquillity, of justice, and security. " Given on board the English ship Windsor Castle, in the roadstead of the Tagus, May 9, 1024. (Signed) " THE KING." DECREE. " Taking into consideration the youth and inexperience in public affairs, which have led my dear and well beloved son into steps contrary to his duty, and which have been suggested to him by the counsels of turbulent and ambitious men, in usurping the Royal power, which, by the grace of God, belongs to me alone—not only on the days of the 30th of April, the Ist and 2d of May, but even after the Royal decree of the 3d of May, by which I had pardoned the transgressions of my autho rity to which he had proceeded—l have resolved to confirm that pardon, extending it to all the arbitrary acts committed in this interval, and resuming the power of Generalissimo, I discharge my son from the . post of Commander - in - Chief of the A rm y , with which I h a d intrusted him. " The authority of the Generals charged with the military government in the provinces is re-established. They shall re ceive my orders through the medium of the Secretary of State for the War Department, with whom they will correspond directly. " The functions of Chief of the Staff, and of Military Secre tary, are united in the Minister of War. " The Council of War shall give the necessary orders for the execution of the present decree. " At the Palace of Bemposta, May 9, 1824," LETTER OF THE KING. " Infant Don Miguel,—My dear and well-beloved son, I, your King, greet you as one whom he most highly loves and esteems. " Having thought it necessary to the tranquillity of the capital, and the welfare of the kingdom, that you should come in person to receive my sovereign orders, I order that as soon as you receive these presents, you repair immediately, without delay, and without excuse, on hoard the ship where I am ; and I renew to you on this occasion the assurance that I par don you all the excesses of jurisdiction which an indiscreet zeal has led you to commit. This I communicate to you that you may execute it conformably to your duty. " On board the Windsor Castle, May e, 1824." CIRCULAR TO TUE COMMANDER OF THE GARRISON OF TliE COURT. " His Majesty orders me to send immediately to your Lord ship the enclosed copy of the Decree issued this day, by which the situation of Commander-in-Chief of the Army is taken away from the Infant Don Miguel. You are forbidden, under the most severe responsibility, to execute any order which should not be transmitted to you by the Viscount de Veiros (charged with the command of the troops of the Court and the Province of Estrernadura), or sent to you direct by the Mini ster Secretary at War. Besides this, his Majesty renders you responsible for the subordination of the garrison and the good conduct of the troops under your orders. May God preserve you during many years. " O❑ board the English ship, Windsor Castle, moored in the Tagus. " The Marquis of PALMELLA." TO THE INTENDANT GENERAL OF POLICE. " Our Lord the King commands your Lordships to' set im mediately at liberty all individuals who have been illegally ar rested since the 30th of April up to the present day. You will give the necessary orders to the competent Authorities, that they execute with the greatest promptitude this Royal determination. God preserve, &c. " The Marquis of PALMELLA, and " OSEPII FIRMIN DE SILVA, Giraldes-Guelbas." TO THE GOVERNOR OF THE FORT OF PENICHE. " The King commands that all the prisoners sent to this place by orders of the Infant Don Miguel, since the 30th of April, be immediately set at liberty. " The Marquis de I'ALMELLA." LISBON, MAY 10. (EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.)' " Three days ago our unfortunate Monarch endeavoured to escape from the surveillance of the wretches who more and more urged his son into the abyss. Twice his project failed ; but yesterday at one o'clock, the King, under pretext of going to one of his country houses, found means to embark with two of the Princesses, his daughters. The French and the English Ambassadors had agreed upon the execution of this design. The first went on board with his Majesty, and all had been so arranged that the diplomatic corps, who had pressed his Majesty to take this step, was apprised immediately of the suc cess of the enterprise. " The Prince has yielded to the order of his father. The per fidious counsellors who deluded him have taken flight. The most perfect tranquillity has prevailed in the town, and the most lively joy is shewn by all classes. " The Infant has received the forgiveness of his father, in presence of the diplomatic corps : he acknowledges that he was deceived, and that he yielded to perfidious counsels. Probably he will be sent upon his travels, but nobody wishes to see him irritated. Certainly he will be easily brought back to his duty when he quits Portugal, the focus of intrigues." " MAY 10, in the eve n ing. —The King has accepted the re signation of all his Ministers. It appears certain that .M. d'Oriola will be Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Count Villa Real, of War ; and M. Miguel de Mello, Minister of the Interior. The Marquis of Palmella will have the embassy of London, and Subserra that of Paris. " It is asserted that the Infant is about to set out for France, and that the Queen has received orders to appear no more at Court. -" MAY 11.—There circulates here the copy of a diplomatic note, in which the Marquis of Palmella expresses to the French Ambassador the sentiments of gratitude which animate his Most Faithful Majesty for the firmness with which, united to the diplomatic body, he protested against the arbitrary and • illegal acts which had been committed against the powers re cognized by nations, as the safeguard of public order and tranquillity. " This document does nothing but justice to the diplomatic corps, which has covered itself with honour by its firmness, its union, and its conduct. So far were England and France from wishing to play a separate part in this crisis, on the con trary the most perfect understAnding reigned between the Am bassadors of the two nations. Their positions enabling them to render greater services than their colleagues to the Kim , of Portugal, they did so with the greatest zeal. The one had al ready ships in the Tagus ; the other sent to Cadiz the Marquis of Ilelluno, attached to the Lisbon Embassy, for the purpose of hastening French ships. " The English ship the Windsor Castle, on board of which the King, the two Princesses, the Ambassadors, and the Se cretary of State, now are, is moored about a cannon-shot from the bank. An immense number of barks and boats, filled with persons of all ranks and of both sexes, ply between the quay and the ship. The cry of " Long live the King alone" is unceasingly raised. The illuminations become more brilliant every evening. It is impossible to describe the general joy. At every instant arrive persons who have been liberated." • " MAY 12.—The King has not y e t returne d to the city." " PARIS, MAY 24. " MY Loup—We have read with great surprise in the Re port made by the Duke de Levis to the Chamber of Peers, that a•proposition had been made to the Commission, of which he was the organ, on the part of the united Bankers, announcing, that, modifying their contract with the Minister, they con sented to give during five years to the small holders of Stock (to the amount of 40 millions) the one per cent. reduction, which will be caused by the change of their Five per Cents. into Three per Cents. " There would be an impropriety, my Lord, of which we are incapable, in addressing any proposal whatever to any one but your Excellency, and this impropriety we have not committed. " We have the honour to send you a copy of the letter which we thought our duty to forward immediately to the Reporter. You will there see, my Lord, that we have neither written nor sent any Note to the Commission, that no proposal has been made by us, and that no one has been authorised to act for us. 4" rhe public has appeared astonished that we could give up forty millions in a transaction which fixes the maximum of profit at thirty-five. That would indeed be incomprehensible ; but if the conditions talked of are those which have really been pro posed, the pretended sacrifice would be in fact only a consider able increase of profit for the company. " We have the honour to be, &c. &c. " T. LArITTE, ALEX. BARING, Baron J. de ROTHSCHILD." " The Minister then communicated the following four Ar ticles of the contract with the Bankers Article 1. As soon as the Chamber of Deputies shall h:ive met, the Minister of Finance shall present a project of law to authorize the conversion of one hundred and forty millions of Five per Cent. Consolidated Stock into Three per Cents. at the rate of 75 francs. " Art. 2. On the other part the above-named Bankers under take to furnish to the Treasury the sums necessary to pay off, those of the holders of Five per Cent. Stock who may not con sent to the conversion, and to take themselves, at the fixed rate of 75f., the Three per Cents. intended for the aforesaid dissen tient holders. " Art. 8. In return for the service rendered to the Govern ment by the contracting Bankers, they shall enjoy the profit which may arise to the Treasury from the conversion, from the day of its commencement to the 31st of December 1825. Art. 9. All the clauses and conditions not provided for by the present contract shall be agreed upon hereafter bona fide; the contracting Bankers will consult with the Minister of Finance upon all the measures which it may be advisable to adopt for the interest of the State and for the conversion to which the present agreement has reference." MAY 26.---Five per Cents. closed at 104 f. 55c. ( Pram the Monitenr of Wednesday, May 26.) [NOTHING OFFICIAL. I NAPOLI DE RO MANIA, A PRI L From a Private Let ter. )—The Saint Esprit, a French merchantman, was wrecked on the coast of Mains, and the cargo was plundered by the banditti of the neighbouring mountains, and also by a Mistic pirate. The Chevalier de Rigny, Commander-in-Chief of the French naval force in the Levant, being informed of these par ticulars, dispatched the Abeille brig, which went and cast an chor before the village of .Maratouist. M. de Beaugaire, Com mander of this brig, caused the Mistic pirate to be delivered up to him, which he immediately burnt, and he also obtained such of the goods belonging to the cargo of the Saint Esprit, as had not yet been sent up the country. lie repaired to the spot where the vessel was wrecked. The banditti had entrenched themselves in two large stone towers, fortified, and situated, one on the island of Cervi, and the other on the main land. They fired on the boats detached by the Abeille, and un fortunately one seaman was killed, and another seriously wounded. This brig not being able to approach within gunshot to protect the boats, recalled them, and w e nt to join the Medea frigate.— This frigate, commanded by N. de Rigny, with the Cuirassier and Loiret brigs, commanded by Messrs. Leblanc and Allegre, proceeded to the Island of Cervi, off which they cast anchor.— The companies of troops, commanded by Lieut. Suin, were immediately landed on the Island to search it. Another detachment was sent to the Continent ; on its ap proach the banditti fled into the mountains, and the tower was occupied immediately. The tower in the island was beyond the range of the ships guns; it was flanked and armed, but the marines advancing in different directions, soon surrounded it. There M. Allegre. co mmanding the Loiret, s ucceede d i n e ff ect i ng a lodgement with his gunners in some hollo ws at t h e f oo t of the tower ; he caused three barrels of powder to be placed there, and the tower was blown up with all that it contained. M. de Rigny also caused the tower on the Continent to be undermined and blown up. During this time the armed boats scoured the coast, and burnt all the boats which had been employed in plundering the French vessel. The officers and seamen employed in this expeditition shewed the greatest zeal. It was directed un derY, by M. Robert, his second in command, The seas near Cervi were in Rigny, by and the French squa (ireatdleied orders o e a r nl sl board f ari N. navigatorshdee squa dron has rendered a real service to vessels of all nations, by de stroying two towers, which have long served as a retreat of banditti, and were built for that purpose. (From the Constitutionnel. ) PARIS, m Ar .26.—The Mini ster i a l P apers h ave b een ob stinate in not speaking of the events at Lisbon in a proper man ner. At length the Qtochenne has announced that the news from Portugal is not favourable to the tranquility of the coun try. This news is, the failure of a vile plot; and we do not see in the failure what there is untavourable to the public tranquility of Portugal. Not one of the Journals, which are generally the ministerial organs, has, in the least degree, blamed the over throw of all moral and political ideas, of which this news gives so sad a picture. A subject raising the standard of rebellion-- a son armed against his father, invoking the name of religion— nothing of all this can excite in them those monarchical and religious sentiments, of which they, on other occasions, make so magnificent a display.

The Foreign Stock Market is still gloomy, particularly for South American Securities.— Colombian Scrip has been at a discount of -4 per Cent.—A close holiday in the English Market, but Consuls have been done at 9528• THE GREEKS. The subjoined article having been omitted in a portion of our impression yesterday, we deem it plover to re-publish it to-day, in order that so cheering a statement of the situation of the Greeks may be submitted to the whole of our Readers. " We some time since informed our Readers that the independence and repose of Greece was under the serious consideration of the Great Powers. We are now enabled to reiterate, in the strongest terms, the assurance that all the Great Cabinets are firmly resolved that the sanguinary state of affairs in the East of Europe shall be speedily terminated, and that they all concur in the desire to see the Greeks established in the enjoyment of that independence which they have so nobly merited by their perseverance, their sacrifices, and their heroism. Under this feeling, it has been with reluctance, and only on the press ing representations and remonstrances of the Porte, that the Great Cabinets have agreed to await the issue of this—the fourth campaign,— which, however, they have definitively resolved shall be the last; and unless the Turks, there fore, should he infinitely more successful than their most sanguine friends will venture to anticipate, the great question which is to determine the fate of the most interesting portion of Europe may be considered as having- been already decided by the valour of its inhabitants. All the accounts are highly favourable to the Greek cause,—particularly as the catastrophe at Cairo has totally incapacitated the Pacha of EGYPT from giving any support to the Ottoman arms, even supposing him to be so inclined. The blockade of Algiers is also a most favourable in cident for the Greeks and for the cause of civi lization and humanity ; as our Readers are aware that a very powerful force is pre paring, both at Chatham and sheerness, for the storming of that strong hold of the Algerine pirates. 13oth the Paella of EGYPT and the I)ey of ALGIERS are therefore completely paralysed ; and it is well known that the PORTE itself labours under the greatest difficulties from the want of money. In addition to these gratifying facts, for the ac curacy of which we pledge ourselves, we have the satisfaction to assure our Readers that there is not the slightest foundation for the alleged promise said to have been given by Lord STRANGPORD to the Divan, for the recal of the British Officers who are serving in the ranks of the Greeks.—The Porte, therefore, hav ing already failed in three successive cam paigns, *hich have only increased the strength, enlarged the resources, and enhanced the glory, of its active and indefatigable enemy, can have no rational hope of acquiring any successes in the present campaign, on which it enters with dimi nished power and exhausted resources, that would justify it in seeking to continue those scenes of carnage which have already been so re volting to the best feelings of all Christendom." The following extract is from the Etoile of Thursday, received this morning : MADRID, MAY 21.—We can positively state that the treaty concluded between France and Spain relative to the army of occupation has just undergone an alteration. The French troops, which were to quit the Peninsula on the first of next July, will remain till the month of January, 1825, to the great satisfaction of all the friends of order, peace, and the throne. TRIESTE, MAY 12.—The veil which still conceals the causes of the dreadful catastrophe at Cairo begins to be raised. A letter from Alexandria, of April 4, announces the re-ap pearance on the stage of a personage formerly famous, but who has been totally forgotten for these eight years past. This is Ibraham Bey, the brave companion in arms of Murad Bey. This ancient chief of the Mamelukes, a personal enemy to the Viceroy, who caused all his relations and friends to be massa creed, has by a coup de main, and aided by secret friends, made himself master of the citadel of Cairo, by which he has the com mand of the city.. This great event took place on the 25th of March, that is, four days after the explosion and the fire of the 21st, which may hence be naturally explained. It is added, that Ibrahim Bey has acted at the secret instigation of the Porte, which has promised him the government of Egypt, in the room of Mei - net Ali, whom it justly dreads. What is certain is, that the great expedition prepared against the Greeks will not sail.—(Augsburg Gazette.) Yesterday Mr. Secretary CANNING gave a grand diplomatic dinner at Gloucester Lodge.

Mis Ma jesty, after driving about the grounds, left the Lodge, and drove himself in his pony phaeton, through the Little Park, to the Castle to dinner. The King's arrival yesterday at the Castle was quite unexpected. Intimation that the Kin' would dine at the Castle was not received until five o'clock.
