FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, JUNE 15.—ST. CLOUD. --The King -went yesterday in an open carriage, and drove towards Butard, the rende-avous of the chace, in the wood of Moutrenit l'ila'rshal Soult, whom a journal had sent to command the Sanitary Cordon, set out yesterday for the waters of Mont-d'or. LEtPs:c, JUNE 3.—The accounts from the North are not pacific, and it is still believed there will he war, because it appears to he ine vitable. The exchange of couriers between St. Petersburgh and Paris is very frequent, from which it is with reason concluded, that important negociations are carrying on between the Go vernments of those two countries. A UGSBURGH, JUNE B.—The most recent ac counts respecting the affairs of the Levant, re ceived by the way of Trieste, state that the -Capitan Pacha had not yet subjected the interior of the island of Chios, all the attacks of the Turks having been repulsed. Great prepara -tions for defence were making at Samos, and at the other islands of the Archipelago. The con centration of the naval force of the Greeks is confirmed. The Egyptian division of the Turkish fleet was approadhing the island of Candia to dis embark troops and ammunition ; but having re ceived advice that the Greek ships were sailing for Candia, the Egyptian vessels sheered off. The report was general, that the more to attach the Pacha of Egypt, the Porte had at length consented to unite the island of Candia to his Government. (EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LRTTER:) " VIENNA, JUNE 2.—We are well satisfied here with the accounts received from St. Petersburgh. The Emperor of Russia has agreed to all the propositions made bye= Cabinet; and' the affair with Turkey may be regarded as arranged. M. de Tatischeff WiThcome herein ten days, and will 'be charged to make verbal communications. The period will then' be fixed for an interview between The .Sovereigns. -will pro bably take place about the end of September, in a town of Italy subject to Austria." FRONTIERS OF POLAND, MAY 28.—The ac ,counts which we receive of the army assembled in Southern Russia say that no changes of any -consequence have taken place in the positions of that force. The whole mass -of troops placed in close cantonment on the right bank of the Dniester, to the frontiers of Austrian Gallicia, is estimated at 100,000 men. The number of the troops on the left bank of that river, in New Russia, is much more considerable. The corps of General Sabieneff, said to be from 30,000 to 85,000 men, is in Bessarabia. The dearness caused by the scarcity of provisions in these • countries is described' in strong colours ; and -although the Russian soldier, as soon as he leaves his usual standing quarters, receives double pay, -this is not sufficient to procure what he can have in the interior provinces of the empire for half the money. These motives, combined with the importance of the subject, naturally excite in the :army the most ardent wish that the question may ..be shortly decided one way or the other ; and when we condsier, besides, that the Government is equally interested, both on political and finan cial grounds, it can hardly be doubted that the moment of decision is not distant. PORTUGUESE CONSPIRACY. ;.[Supplement to the:l29th number of the Government Gazette, Suuday, ,Thire 2.] lAssoN.—lrrefragable proofs have at last been 'discovered of the truth with which the Minister of Justice, explained to the sovereign Cortes the necessity of the 'extraordinary authority which. , was granted to him for the public safety, and for the sacred cause of the country. Nefarious anarchists and ambitious conspirators designed •nothing less than barbarously to stain with blood our happy regeneration, to cover the kingdom with mourning, to depose the King, and to abo lish the Cortes. But all their atrocious projects have proved abortive : the conspiracy was dis covered ; and in the night between the Ist and 2d of the month, were seized by the Magistrate of the district (Rua Nova), the principal instru ments of the conspiracy, at the time when they were taking for distribution from the printing office in the street Formosa, called the Liberal, a great number of incendiary and infamous pro clamations, in which, and in the plan of the con .-spiracy found on the five traitors now impri soned, it appears, that, with a few slight varia tions, are contained the following anarchical and horrible ideas :—To dissolve the present Cortes, and convoke the old, with some modifications, such as having two chambers, one of them con sisting of hereditary members and of the first nobility ; to depose the beneficent and magna nimous King John VI., who has so faithfully and openly adhered to the cause of the constitu tion and of national liberty, and in his place. to elevate the Infant Don Michael, at the head of -a regency, composed of men the most conspi cuous and respectable, who have declared them selves enemies of the system by which, happily, we are governed : to assassinate those members of the Cortes and of the Ministry who are the most able- and celebrated defenders of the na tional rights ; in one word, to throw the whole nation into•'a state of confusion and civil war, of bloodshed, disorder, and anarchy, the advantage of which ,was to be reaped by these infamous conspirators, and by others like themselves who probably will be found engaged in the same plot.---:The persons who have already been ap prehended will appear from -the despatch' and list following : ." Most Illustrious and Excellent Senhor,—lt not being pos •Sible for me to give your Excellency circumstantial details of the diligence with which I repaired to , the printing-house in the Rua Formosa, •by the command of his Majesty, that your Ex.. ceilency may, lay the same before him, I shall exectite my task as circumstances - permit, beginning by saying, that on pro ceeding with my dfficers and troop to the appointed spot, I Apprehended, in flagrante delicto i the individuals whose names are contained in the enclosed list, finding on them the incen diary Prodamations, of which I likewise send you copies.— Going then to a cellar, I found the printing press prepared, and all the signs of its having recently printed the Proclama limn alluded to. I then.. determined to remove the prisoners into secret confinement, sealing up all their effects, and placing them in good security in the presence of officers of credit and the troop, whom I continue there till the morning, *hen I pro pose to draw up the necessary acts. Having done this, I went to the Aljube (ecclesiastical prison), where I seized all the pa pers relative to Father Mestre Braga. I then proceeded to the house of the prisoner Francisco de Alpoim e Menezes, where I acted in like manner ; and, finally, accompanied by my col league, the criminal judge of the Castle ward, 1 detailed the capture of the paymaster of the 16th Regiment of Infantry, Bernardino Rodriguez. This was executed afterwards by the above-Mentioned Minister, with all due zeal and activity, leav ing nothing to be desired on this head. He concluded this act with a search in the house, and a seizure of the papers which had a reference to him. More circumstantial details will be afterwards given your Excellency. God preserve your Ex cellency. " Lisbon, June 2. 44 To the most illustrious and excellent " Senhor Jose da Silva Carvalho." " JOSE JOAQUIM GERARDO DE SAMPAYO." LIST.

A COLLECTION of GREEK ROMANCES, translated into French ; to which is prefixed, a Literary Essay, by 1%1- VILLEMAIN, Member of the French Academy. 15 vols. 16mo. Paris, 1822. The Greeks have been our precursors and masters in all kinds of literature. Their quick and fertile imagination has invented, embellish ed, and brought to perfection, every mode of in structing and amusing the mind. None knew better than this ingenious and highly gifted peo ple how to deck truth in the veil of fiction—to paint manners—create characters—and express the language of the passions. Homer, Siophocles, and A ristophanes, have inspired their imitators ; and the Greeks, who opened to us the career of the epopea and the drama, have also taught us the art of writing romances. This species of composition possessed peculiar charms for them, naturally fond of the marvellous. Love constitutes the interest of their romances, because, in depicting this passion, art varies, without ceasing, its tone, colouring, and effects. They have represented two unfortunate lovers in Theagenes and Chariclea ; heroism and conjug al fidelity are pourtrayed in the recital of the a d ventures of Abrocomas and Anthia ; while Daph ne and Chloe interest us by the simple narrative of their pleasures, their sorrows, and their inno cence. In the recollections and libraries of men of - taste, Heliodorus and Longus will occupy a place with Iticleardson, Cervantes, and Le Sage. The Greek Romances give rise to remarks of various kinds ; their authors, poets, orators, sophists,—pagans, monks, and even bishops, as is asserted without much foundation, have im parted to the writings which have descended to us the impress of their talents, their professions, and their religious creeds. The wildest and most luxuriant creatures of imagination are placed by the side of rigid and pure forms, en dowed with reason and taste ; the light morality and superannuated fables of Greek mythology contend there to a disadvantage with the auste rity of nascent christianity. We like to compare styles and to contrast ages. The Greek Romances derive also an additional value from their being brought into one collection, like monuments of art which, notwithstanding they are mutilated by time or the hand of man, nevertheless are objects of study and pleasure to the amateur who finds them assembled before his eyes. All that learning, literary talent, and the fine arts, can contribute have been bestowed on this collection, and no fitter moment than the present could be chosen for its appearance. The contest in which the Greeks and the Turks are engaged has attracted attention to the country of Leonidas. We follow with interest all the efforts of their descendants to liberate themselves from the chains of ignorance and barbarism. The cause of the Greeks is that of intelligence, the arts, and humanity : the mind, full• of the recollections of their ancient glory and long sufferings, volun tarily-lends itself to the perusal of their works, to imbibe fresh motives of interest in their fate and of hatred against their oppressors. C► THE IVHIGS OF' 1711. Mr. GEORGE PLAXTON, in 1711, thus •oddly describes the Whig patty to which he was op posed, in a letter to the Hon. lIENEAGE FINCII, (afterwards sth Lord WINCIIELSEA.) " Thus here is a wonderful turn of affairs, yet there is. no alteration in the Whigs ; they are the same in and out of power, constant and firm to themselves and principles. Thus we find that Strickland in Strickland lives, the point is strong ; And Catiline sings the old paternal song. John Lilburn's spirit Osman has put on,. He squabbles, roars, and's mutinous as John ; Eats up himself, in hopes of growing greater, Sour as an oat-cake, hollow as a fritter ; Compos'd of rancour, pride, and much ill-nature, Baptiz'd at Meribah, the peevish elfe, Now chang'd from others, preys upon himselfe. .‘c Now, as for Whiggs, I have traced them out, and find them out, and find them predominant in all ranks and orders of creatures ; every part of the creation is troubled with them, and you find no set of animals but there are Whigsters among them. '" At sea and land, in salt water and fresh, you have them. Thus, Sir, among the quadrupeds, you have tygers, wolves, badgers, bears, foxes, jackcalls , chamelions, ratts and mice, wild cats, foomards, weesels, with a multitude of Whigg animals. " Amongst birds we have vultures, kites, screech-owls, buzzards, rooks, daws, carrion -crows, hawkes, jaycs, cormo rants, hen-harrowes, and magpies. " Amongst fishes, alligators, crocodiles, sharks, porposes, pikes, gramps, eels, whales, sword-fish, and congers. " Amongst serpents, vipers, snakes, adders, blind-worms, scorpions, rattle-snakes, lizards. Amongst insects, hornets, wasps, flesh-flies, hennals, buggs, warbles, maggots, punirs, lops, lice, caterpillars, and spiders. In the kingdom of plants there are nettles, thistles, hemlocks, tares, quicks, arsmart, and cockle. But amongst men they abound under the names of knaves, fools, haughty, hypocrites, discontented, discarded, sour, am bitious, proud, ill-natured, silly, malicious, intriguers, cowards, wheedlers, covetous, cheats, fitz-rebells, liars, and surmizeii-s, atheists, deists, and nullifidians. In short, every man that is not loyal, orthodox, and honest, is a Whig.—( Nichols' Illus trations of the Literary History of the Eighteenth Century.) CITY, MONDAY EVENING. There are still two opinions in the City respecting the settle ment of the Turkish and Russian disputes. It is reported that a letter has been received from Odessa,_ dated the 21st May, N.S., which states that advices had that day arrived from Ketchenou (the head-quarters \ of the Russian army), by which information had been received that the Turkish army was in motion, but that it neither had nor would retire from Moldavia and 'Wallachia, according to the agreement made at Constanti nople. At the date of these advices there had been fully suffi cient time for the retreat of the army, had it been intended. The Turks will, no doubt, hold out expectations of compliance with the Russian demands, until they know the result of their attempt to reduce the Greeks, and in thus acting they shew great ability in their character as diplomatists. These advices further state, that at present the Russian army is in no situation to enforce their demands on the Turk ish empire. It is without pay and clothing, and .is besides badly fed. There is the best authority farther for stating, that it is just now in a state of Mutiny, there being betwixt forty and fifty Officers under trial at Ket chenou, at the time the letters came away, for disobedience of orders and actual rebellion. The nobility in that part of the Russian empire are also represented as being very much dis satisfied. This letter from Odessa is at variance with accounts from Bucharest, dated — the 22d May, and which represents the Turkish army as retiring. Still the one from Odessa is report ed to have been written by a gentleman of high character, to his friend in London, and if there be in his account any decep tion, he must have been himself deceived, which, from his con nections, is not probable. Odessa . remains a free port for one, if not for two years longer. Consols for the account opened at 801, and remained very steady during the day. In foreign bonds there is very little variation: The new Russian loan is heavy, and its price of 83 is only nominal. A highly, respectable and eminent West India establishment has this day suspended payment, to the great regret of the city. in Wrest Their property lndia securities is reported to be four times. larger than their debts, but such is the depressed state of trade ; that no money could be raised on it, though Russia' finds plenty. The arrivals of grain in Mark-lane during the last week consist of 7,866 quarters of Wheat, 501 qrs. of Barley, 2,078 qrs. of Malt, 18,405 qrs. of Oats, 750 qrs. of Beans, only 86 qrs. of Peas, and 7,066 sacks of Flour. This morn ing the shew of samples from the Home Counties was not large; but as usual very little was sufficiently fine to manu facture during the summer months. Prime articles accord inglywere sold at rather higher prices than those obtained last week, but every other description was literally un saleable, even though offered at lower prices. There is very little Barley now wanted, the consumption for this season hav ing nearly ceased. Stained samples are worth 18s. for poultry feeding, but the quantity, on sale must continue. mall if this price be tuaintained by a' consumption so insignificant. Oats do not acquire the same value which was attached to them last week. The late rains have not 'keen general, but they have been sufficiently beneficial to do away with every fear for the safety of the coming crop. Beans and Peas are both lower, and the demand for them has entirely ceased. The Importers of Foreig,n Corn have been considered by the Agriculturists guilty . of bringing Bonded Grain into the market, for home consumption. There is just one instance of this having been done, in a Yorkshire port, and it was instantly detected by that most able officer, W. PALGRAVE, Esq., Col lector of his Majesty's Customs at .Great Yarmouth. The owner was insolvent, and a laxity in the Custom-house regu-, lations at the bonding port enabled him to prop his falling credit by an act in the highest degree incorrect. New regulations have rendered the recurrence of .such an event impossible ; and at the present moment, for a trifling es once, Government could convince the public, that with the foregoing exception, no fraud has been committed in England, Scotland, or Ire land. The quantity of foreign grain bonded is registered in the Wood Farm Office ; and if the whole or any part be re exported, it is regularly entered in the same books. There is a fixed weekly charge for turning bonded grain in the ware house, and Government might, at a small additional ex- pence to the turning one, measure the quantity remaining in the granaries, by which an immediate discovery of fraud would be made, if any existed. The importers of foreign corn are still accused of another act, to which the appellation 'of folly must be added to that of fraud. They are accused of taking their fine Dantzig wheat out of bond, and of substitut ing damaged and inferior English wheat. If it was possible to make this exchange without the knowledge 'of the custom house, it would be highly injurious to the interest of the impor ter. One ' thousand quarters of fresh Dantzic wheat may re main in granary for years without injury. - At present it is worth 30s. to 355. a quarter, either for immediate exportation or for speculation. For home consumption it would fetch nearly 60s. a quarter, or 3,0001. One thousand quarters of the lowest Eng lish wheat, to substitute for the Dantzic in a bonded granary, could not be got under 30s. a quarter, or 1,5001., and it would be rotten before it lay one year in the granary. Any impor ter of foreign wheat must suffer by bonding any but the best qualities of English wheat, should he wish to bring his fine foreign wheat into immediate consumption, in Eng. land, and this would cost him nearly the same sum as he would receive for his foreign. To sell his' 1,000 quarters of fine bonded wheat as the law allows, he would get 1,600. ; to smuggle his 1,000 quarters of fine bonded wheat into home consumption, he would get 3,0001., but he must replace the quantity with either the best English, which will cost him fully as much, or with damaged English, which will cost' him 15001., but which, in a few months., will be more than a total loss to him. It is, however, totally impossible, under the existing Custom-house regulations, for the proprietor of bonded wheat' to exchange it for English growth, even were his interest promoted by committing this fraud on the public, and the Agriculturist has more reason to lend his aid to, than to oppose any measures which may benefit the proprietors of bonded grain. Permission to grind foreign wheat in Eng land at the present moment, would enable British Merchants to supply warm climates with this article much cheaper than it can be procured from any other part of Europe, or from the United States of America. To export wheat itself does not offer the same advantages. The chance of heating during a long voyage is a greater risque than the probable profit will af ford ; and in many warm climates they have not the means to manufacture flour even if they had the wheat. It would benefit in a great degree the Agricultural interest if any plan could be adopted by which the present lirge quantity of bonded grain could be sent out of the country ; and there is not any probable chance of exporting the wheat unless as flour. The Morning Chronicle has already stated some of the advantages which the adoption of the grinding clause, in the new Corn Bill, would confer on the Commerce of the Empire. It cannot injure but must benefit Agriculture, and it is still to be hoped that the House of Commons will pass a law, rendering it legal to export bonded wheat 'when manufactured into flour.—( Morning Chronicle.) REDUCTION OF RENTS.—EarI FITZWILLIAM has again made a liberal abatement df rents to his tenants at Higham Ferrers, Irthlingborough, Finetlon, Little Addington, and Chelveston-cum-Caldecott, Northamptonshire ; the abate ment has been from twenty to thirty and forty per cent., al though several deductions had been made in 1816 ; and the rents of several other farms have not been raised since the year 1796.—At the Hon. the Ladies FITZPATRICK'S audit, held on the sth inst. for their estates in the above county, deductions were made on a most liberal scale—G. P. JEuvoisE, Esq., DI. P. has again reduced his rents, making them now fifty per cent. less than they were seven years ago. Thursday night his Royal Highness Cums- TIAN FREDERICK, Prince of Denmark, attended the sitting of the Royal Society, in order to his being admitted a Fellow, in pursuance of 'the resolution of the Society the preceding week, as in the case of such distinguished individuals they dispense with the usual forms, and proceed to ballot on the evening they are proposed. His Highness was received by the President, Sir HUMPIIRY DAVY, the Council of the Society, and one of the fullest Sittings known for a long time, with all the honours due to his exalted rank and scientific acquire ments. lie appeared much gratified by the handsome and well-merited encomium addressed to him on his admission, by the President, and much amused at being called upon as a Member immediately after, to vote on the election of Captain Ross. His Royal Highness afterwards visited the Library, and inspected many curious and scientific instruments, particularly that invented by Captain KATER, to ascertain the vibration of the' pendulum, &c. He received the srme complimentary honours on leaving Somerset House as at his reception. It is not generally known that this is the fourth year in which this Prince, with his amiable Princess, who is neatly related to our King, has been travelling in the south of Europe in search of useful knowledge, during which their mild and affable deport ment has endeared them to every one who has been honoured with their notice. We have received the Paris Papers of Satur day, from which we give extracts in a preceding column. They bring no fresh intelligence respect ing the question between Turkey and Russia.
