majority were'driven on the coasts of Asia and Africa, and 20 carried by: the winds towards the Mona, landed 3,000 Egyptians on the coast of 31odon and Coron ; but a corps of Peloponnesian troops, chiefly Arcadians, attacked them before they had time to form. All perished in this action and in the pursuit, the Turkish garrisons of Coron and Illodon refusing to admit the fugitives into the fortress, for fear of adding to the distress which begins to be felt there for want of, provisions. On the other hand, 40 Greek vessels arrived in time to cut off the Egyptian division from the sea, and to block it up in a bay between Modon and Neocastron. Conduriotti, the President, commands in person the troops besieging Patras : they are estimated at ten or twelve thousand men. A corps of Peloponnesians, destined for Eubcra, com menced their march in February. It is generally thought that the fate of that important island will be soon decided. Colocottani has been lately removed, to the convent of St. Elias, on one of the steepest rocks of Hydra. The proceed ings preparatory to his trial, and that of the other rebels, are continued. Lisbon Papers to the 3d instant arrived this morning. The Gazette of the 28th March con tains a Royal Decree, the intent of which is to facilitate the means of obtaining a correct knowledge of the actual amount of the public debt, and to prevent unnecessary delay in the payments to be made by the Treasury. The Gazelle of the 2d April contains an Al vara, by which his MAJESTY, approving the representations of the General Assembly of the Hank of Lisbon, is pleased to ratify and confirm the regulations proposed by the Assembly to vstablish a branch of the Bank at Oporto, de pendent on, and entirely under the direction of, the Directors of the Bank of Lisbon. The re gulations are divided into 35 Articles, under five different heads. Among the naval intelligence is the following : LISBON, MARCII. 24. Arrived the Portuguese.galley Nail() Pagueto de Maranhao. It sailed from Lisbon the 15th January, with various goods fur Alaranham. On the 9th of February, being oft' the coast of Illaranham, it met a Brazilian smack, which had left Moran ham for Clara, and which stated that the e ships were taken at Illaranham and for fear of this they returned to Lisbon. Arum 2,—The Post-office gives notice of the sailing of two vessels for RIO de Janeiro, one on the Bth from Lisbon, the y ; ether on the 10th from Oporto, by which letters may be sent. No Ships in particular are mentioned. • Hamburgh Papers to the 17th, Frankfort to the 18th, and Dutch to the 20th instant, also reached our office this morning. An article from St. Petersburgh states, that the Empress ErAzA BETEL is entirely recovered from her late severe indisposition ; and that the Prince of ORANGE Will join the Emperor ALEXANDER at Warsaw, and after the close of the Polish Diet will return with his IMPERIAL MAJESTY to the Russian Vital, in order to conduct his August Consort back to Brussels. The inspection of writings 4 11 d books in foreign languages, imported into th e Russian dominions, is enforced with greater Strictness. From Stockholm we learn, that a considerable change is to take place in the Swedish prohi bitory system respecting the importation of 'fo- reign goods.

Mr. LYTTLETON, after some discussion last night, brought into the House of Commons a Bill for disfranchising the 40s. Freeholders in Ire land. This measure is, we presume, a conse quent upon the success of Thursday night last en the Catholic Question. Let us compare these measures together. The operation of Mr. LYTTLETON'S Bill will be to deprive a very large body of the Irish Roman CatholiCs of the right of voting ; the operation 'of Sir FRANCIS BUR titres Bill will be to give to a very small por 'lien of the same body the right of sitting in Par liament, and of holding certain high offices of 1 "-ast ; thus then it follows, that the supporters 411. the latter Bill, if they have any consistency t qsincerity at all, are bound to resist the former. We have all along said the Bill for the Emancipa tion of the Catholics was in effect nothing more t han conferring certain privileges on the leaders of that pa r ty, without in any degree contemplating t he benefit of the Catholics at large, who, it Must be obvious, will be only just where they ar e whether the Bill passes or not. But if these privileges are to be attained at the ex l'ence of the rights of another less influential P a rt of the same body, the Catholic Emancipa tion Bill is a positive practical injustices—Much ° l ) Posed as we have been to the Catholic Claims, Sti ll we think, if the measure is to be carried, it ° tight to be so altogether; do not let us confer new ' P ri vileges on one portion of the Catholic Body, a nd then as if afraid of what had been done, en deavour to neutralise the expected mischief, by taking away the vested and unalienable rights of "other and larger portion of the same body. Su el l a measure can be dictated by only a timid, c°ln promising, and selfish policy, as detrimental t 0 the first principles of good government, as it is niest and impolitic. Mlle Catholic subjects of his Majesty are entitled to these privileges, they ought to have them; but this disfranchising Bill can only create the very same disturbances that are to be put down, and the cause of them removed, by the passing of the Catholic Relief Bill. Indeed, Mr. LYTTLETON'S measure will be felt in the cabins of the poorer Irish, whilst Sir F. BURDETT'S measure will be scarcely heard of there, and cannot be productive of any advantage to their inhabitants. It is not very difficult then to see which of these two Bills will Operate most strongly on the minds of the people. Independently of these considerations aris ing out of the period at which the measure is introduced, and the connection it appears to have, and in fact has, with the Catholic Re lief Bill, there are many others that should be well weighed, before a plan trenching so closely upon one of the most valuable pri vileges of the people is adopted. We do not, however, mean to enter on this point now. It is sufficient in our eyes, that its introduction at this time is unseasonable, and that alone forms an in superable objection to it ; because new laws should not only be good, but in order to be ef ficacious must be well timed also. THE PLAGUE IN EGYPT. [From the Agent to Lloyd's at Milford, April 21.] " Arrived at the quarantine station at this port, the Cadmus, Snowden, and Latona, Campion, from Alexandria for Liver pool, with suspected bills of health, in consequence of two cases of plague having occurred at Alexadria on the 27th February." THE GREEKS. The intelligence from Corfu, contained in an annexed extract of a letter, appears to he of a more impartial character than the great majority of the, accounts which reach us on the subject of the contest between the Greeks and the Turks:— " CORFU, MARCH 19. " His Majesty's ship the Naiad, Captain Spencer, arrived here on Thursday last, from a cruise on the west and southern coasts of the Morea. Her news from Patras was rather unfa vourable. A few days since a supply of provisions had been procured by the blockaded Turks, purchased, as there is every reason to imagine, with money supplied by a French frigate. This 'is surmised from the circumstance of a vessel laden with provisions having entered the harbour, and again put to sea with her entire cargo ; the Turks not having the means to pur chase it. Shortly af: er a French frigate arrived, and having conferred with the besieged departed, when another ship, like wise laden with stores, entered, and again put to sea, 'having discharged her freight, and received payment for the entire in specie. From this it may be supposed the garrison will now be enabled to hold out. for some time longer. " A vessel has arrived this evening (18th) from Zante, and, confirms the report of 5,000 Egyptians having made a landing at Modon, and a few days afterwards, having proceeded to at tack Navarina, they were completely routed by a portion of the army proceeding to the siege of Patras, and forced to fly to their ships, and put to sea. It is confidently reported, that the most active preparations are going forward at Constantinople for the ensuing campaign. Ninety ships, including a powerful reinforcement from the Al ' gerines, are in a state of readiness. The latter are the most to be dreaded, from their intrepidity and naval skill ; but there is little doubt that the Greek sailors, equally expert and in a state of feverish animation from their continual Successes, will con sign them to the fate of their predecessors. " The whole of the Morea, with the 'exception of Patras, is now in a state of peace. Colocotroni, the brothers Velijani, Londo, Lecini and his son, and some others, 12 in all, who have surrendered themselves at Napoli, are now prisoners at Hydra. Niketas, with Zaimi and his son, are still wandering about the islands, seeking a refuge.. " The boats of his Majesty's ships the Cambrian and Serin gapatam have had a smart action with the pirates oft' Negro. pont, in which three of the Cambrian's men and three of the Seringapatam's have been killed, and upwards of 15 wounded. They have, however, succeeded in making 15 prisoners, who are now lodged in Malta; but nothing decisive can be proved against them as to piracy, as they merely refused to show their papers when demanded, and when attacked by his Majesty's boats, returned the assault by a fire so deadly and well-directed as to occasion the mischief which I have mentioned. The boats were decidedly no part of the Greek fleet." It will be seen by the following extract that a strong feeling in favour of liberal principles exists among the inhabitants of Cuba, and we doubt not that the severe measures resorted to for its sup pression will only tend to accelerate the separa tion of that island from Spain, and the declara tion of its independence : NEW YORK, MARCH 22. We understand that several Spaniards have recently arrived here from Cuba, in consequence of the establishment of a mili tary commission in that island, after the plan of those lately formed in Spain, for the detection and punishment of all persons suspected of liberal principles. Many of the arrests, imprison ments, &c., which have taken place in that country for some months past have been effected by assemblies of this description, and similar scenes may be expected in Cuba. Governor Vives has heretofore been considered a man of moderation and libe rality ; but in submitting to be the instrument for effecting the unprincipled designs of Ferdinand, he appears to have lost his claim to such a character. By the New York Papers, it appears that Mr. CLINTON has declined the proffered Em bassy to England, on the ground that, hav ing recently accepted from the State of New York the highest offer the people could bestow— that of Governor, he does not wish to retire from it until he has had an ample opportunity of evinc ing his gratitude. These papers state that the Colombian Congress has passed a Decree, trans ferring the Seat of. Government to Ocana, until a town is fixed upon to be called " Bolivar." . The Baltimore Federal Gazette, remarking on the article of intelligence that the Authorities of Puerto Cavello had agreed to indemnify the French, for property belonging to them, carried into that port by a privateer belonging ,to the Republic, says that a gentleman in Baltimore, direct from Laguira, gives a very different ac count. tc H e states that the Colombian Autho rities had resisted the claim made by the French, and that General Paez had declared that, in the event of• the French squadron touching a dollar belonging to Colombia, he would sequester all the French property in Caraccas."

'~`."' ‘..1-144 ' His MAJESTY'S BIRTII-DAY.—'rhis being the Anniversary of his Most Gracious MAJESTY'S Birth-Day, the morning was ushered in with the customary demonstrations of joy, and the flags from St. Margaret's, St. Martin's, Lambeth church, &c. displayed their usual pendants. At an early hour the parade in St. James's Park presented a very animated sight by the appearance of the three Regiment of Foot Guards, ac companied by their respective bands in new state dresses of scarlet and gold, on the Mall; and it being understood that the Duke of Yon': intended to be present on the occasion, an immense crowd of persons were assembled. About a quarter to ten o'clock, his Royal Highness arrived on the Parade, when the whole bands struck the national air of " God save the King," the soldiers presenting arms. his Royal Highness was received With every mark of distinc tion suitable to his rank by the General Officers, Colonels, &c. The word of command was given by Colonel Macdonald, be longing to the Coldstream Guards, the Field Officer of the Bri gade in waiting. His Royal Highness looked remarkably well, and was most cordially greeted by the populace. After the regiments had gone through several evolutions with the ut most precision, they proceeded in marching order to the King's Palace. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

COTENT-GAUDEN. — The new Tragedy of Orestes in Argos was represented again last night, and as some reductions have taken place, the interest of the story was increased. The Furies are only retain ed in the opening of the Piece, in order to prepare the mind for the terrific events that follow. The dialogue also has been retrenched, and the action is therefore rendered more compact and striking. The acting also was more smooth, but not less effective. A new Interlude followed, entitled Lofty Projects, the purpose of which was to in troduce Mr. PATES in various characters, that he might give imitations of several popular Actors. Mr. YATE,S is certainly a good mimic, and his imitations are striking ; but we conceive that he enters on a bold adventure, and we cannot but be surprised that Actors can be reconciled to a measure that renders their peculiarities more striking, and consequently must excite associa tions in the minds of the audience, that will ne cessarily impair the influence of their professional exertions. The Piece, however, is well con structed for the purpose in view, and, as imita tions are always diverting, was therefore well re ceived. We sincerely hope that the success of the Tragedy will prove beneficial to the widow of the departed and lamented Author. IIAymARKET.-----The Marriage of Figaro at tracted a numerous audience last night. Alma viva had a spirited representation in VINING ; J. RUSSELL exerted himself with good effect in Figaro; Mrs. VESTRIS was all life and humour in Susannah; and Mrs. II UMBY, who improves upon the town every time she appears, was arch and playful in the Page. The success which has hitherto attended this Theatre, and the comic strength which the Manager has as sembled will probably prevent him from regret ting that he commenced his season so early. MR. HAYNE AND MISS FOOTE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—I do assure you that it is with extreme reluctance I venture again to obtrude myself, or my affairs , upon the notice of the public, and, but for the pledge which Mr. Carter (my Solicitor), in his natural zeal for my interests, thought it expedient -to give in my name, that a satisfactory answer should be published to Mr. Gill's extraordinary state ment with respect to 11Iiss Foote and myself, I should not have taken the liberty of addressing you—not that Mr. Gill's state ment was not intended to give me pain, and to expose me to ridicule, but that I considered the conduct of Mr. Gill himself, added to the improbability of his assertions, afforded the best refutation of the calumnies to which he has endeavoured to give currency; and even now, Sir, feeling as I do, how little interest your readers can have in a matter perfectly of a private nature, I shall be as short as possible. To this course lam the more inclined, as it is far from my disposition, unless forced by cir cumstances, to enter into details which might prove prejudicial to the future interests of Miss Foote, or to the character of her immediate friends or advisers. How far the power of furnish ing such details exist, the persons to whom I allude are the best judges. The points to which I shall at present confine myself are those mentioned in Mr. Gill's letter. Mr. Gill states, " that the reconciliation between Miss Foote and myself was sought by me, and not by Miss Foote, and that he is in possession of my own hand-writing to prove the fact." .It is singular, if Mr. Gill possessed the document to which he alludes, that the same delicacy which induced lion to publish otherletters of mine, did not inducehirn to publish this : it would have been the best evidence of the truth of his assertion. No such document, however, does exist, and Mr. Gill, and his em.- ployers, well know, that if desired, 1 can furnish them with a letter, independent of the positive evidence of a friend, which would at once set all doubt on this head at rest. Mr. Gill next states, " that Miss Foote had not the least pre vious knowledge cf the amount of the sum to be settled upon her : 5001. a year, he says, was suggested by a friend as a rea sonable provision, to which Mr. Hayne assented." This, so far as it goes, is correct ' • but Mr. Gill should have added, that Mr. Platt was the friend who made the suggestion. With regard to the assertion which follows, " that it was never stipulated I should settle 3001. per annum forlife on Mrs. Foote, in the event of her out-living her daughter,". I beg to say it is false. That provision was made at the request of Miss Foote, under circumstances highly creditable to her feelings as a daughter • and from her representation, that if she died her mother would be left destitute, as her father had only his half pay to depend upon. As to the statement of the nature of my property, that may or may not he correct; but this is a subject little connected with the question at issue, and certainly of no importance to any person but myself. With respect to the draft of the settlement, I certainly did waive its being laid before Mr. Carter ; but this was at the en treaty of Mr. Gill, who said that gentleman would object, in all probability, to every clause, and. throw nothing but obstacles in the way of it, from his well-known disapprobation of the event to which it referred. I am now come to that part of Mr. Gill's letter in which he describes the interview he had with me at the Colonial Club, in St. James's-street, and asserts, that " I told him Mr. Carter had caused me to be arrested, at the suit of three of my creditors." A more gross perversion of what actually occurred it is impossible to conceive. I admit that I did tell Mr. Gill very candidly, the peculiar situation in which I was placed, and this, as may na turally be supposed, under the seal of colyidence ; but I deny most distinctly that I ever told him I had been arrested by Mr. Carter, at the suit of the persons mentioned, nor did any such occurrence ever take place. The object of Mr. Gill, how ever, in misrepresenting, or wilfully misunderstanding what took place, is sufficiently obvious. There are other points in Mr. Gill's letter, Sir, with reference to the interviews between Miss Foote and myself, to which I purposely avoid referring, being anxious to bury in oblivion circumstances which must be alike painful to us both. In conclusion, I have only to apologize for having at such length trespassed on your columns ; and to add, that if any further explanations are deemed necessary, I am perfectly pre. pared to enter into the fullest and mo.t satisfactory details. I have the honour.to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, April 20. . J. HAYNE. ARGYLL Itopms.—The farewell concert of Madame CATALAN' took place last night. Her surprising powers were exerted in all their strength, and particularly in " Rule Britannia" and " God save the King." She was sup ported by SAPIO 7 CARADORI, and REMOIIINI. Mr. HUNTLY made his first appearance in London on this occasion. His voice is agreeable, and he sings with taste. LINDLEY'S vio lincello, VOGL'S hautboy, and CIANEPELLISE'S pianoforte, contributed highly to 'the general entertainment, which was highly applauded by a crowded room. THE ARTS.—Ilis Royal highness the Duke of Yong, with his usual promptitude in the cause of humanity, and for the encouragement of genius, has signified his intention to take the Chair on the approaching Anniversary Dinner of the Artists' General Benevolent Institution at Free Masons' Hall, on the 29th instant.

CORN LAws.-Yesterday a Vestry Meeting of the inhabitants of Lambeth.was held at the Vestry flail, to consider the expediency of petitioning Parliament for the repeal . of the Corn Laws.

FL ETC HE R and his friends left that place to occupy Albion Chapel, have united with the congregation assembling in the latter place, and that it is the intention of the friends of the United Associate Syniid to erect a place of worship in the eastern part of the me tropolis, for the accommodation of the Scotch population in that neighbourhood, which has been rapidly increasing during the last few years. VISIT OF THE WYANDOT INDIAN CHIEFS TO THE LORD MAYOR.—Thursday the four Canadian Indian Chiefs were introduced to the LORD MAYOR by Mr. lavrxG BROCK, brother of the late Sir Isaac Brock, who fell at Canada. The visitors of his Lordship were, the Grand Chief, the Second Chief, the Chief of the Councils, or Minister for Foreign Affairs (as the Citizens called' him, from his very statesman-like ap pearance), and the Chief of the Warriors, or Commander-in- Chief of the Huron or Wyandot Nation. The Grand Chief, on being introduced to the Lord Mayor, addressed him in the Indian language, which was translated into French as he pro ceeded : the warrior spoke of the kind and condescending treat ment the Indians had received from his Majesty, and said that, they would always fight against the King's enemies. The visitors portook of a very elegant collation. Their conduct at table was marked by great politeness, and by remarkable at tentions to the ladies. After the cloth was removed they sang several national songs of a most terrific character, to the dismay of the ladies and the astonishment of the gentlemen, and with drawing front the table they danced the war dance and gave the war-whoop with the full capability of their lungs. The Chief of the Warriors, who is 64 years of age, was remarkably active,' and capered about in the most surprising manner. After they had thus amused his Lordship, and themselves, and the ladies, they were conducted through the principal rooms in the house.
