We have extracted the particulars from the Gazette de France, which it is proper to ob serve is the only Journal which contains the in formation. The Greeks appear to have fixed the basis of their union under one Government, and it is stated that Deputies from the Peloponnesus are to be sent to the different Courts of Europe and the United States to obtain a recognition of their independence. The following are extracts : " PARIS, MARCH 25.—A private letter from Poland, which merits confidence, states that in consequence of the arrest of M. * * *, Secretary of the Ex-Minister * * *, a discovery has been made of a very important correspondence, which discloses the plan of a conspiracy for the general insurrection of Poland, on the commencement of hostilities between Russia and the Porte. It is said that the Grand Duke Constantine is gone in person to give an account of this affair to the Emperor. This conspiracy had numerous ramifications with Turkey in Europe, Italy, Spain, and even America; and it appears that several European thrones were comprized in the plan of attack.— (Gazette de France.) There is a talk of a revolutionary attempt me ditated at La Rochelle, which has completely failed. Several Sous-Officiers of the 45th Regi ment, who arrived recently in that town, had formed the plan of hoisting the tri-coloured flag on the 21st March ; but on the morning of the 19th, one of the conspirators discovered the plot, and 11 Sous-Officiers were arrested in their barracks. According to these disclosures it was determined that most of the officers of the regiment should be put to death, as well as the principal civil and military authorities. It was proposed at the same time to seize the arsenal, where there are thirty thousand muskets, and a quantity of mu nitions.—(lbid.) The Ami de la Charte of Nantes, of the 19th, contradicts the report of the release of Colonel Alix, and says this officer is still in confinement. It is asserted lie will be tried at the next assizes, but the nature of the charge against him is not known. The King, after hearing mass in his apart ments, received the compliments of the Princes, the Great Officers of State, of all the Ministers and several Marshals. Among the persons pre sent we observed the Chancellor Prince Talley. rand, the Prince of Castelcicala, Ambassador from the King of Naples, the Papal Nuncio, the Duke de Cazes, and the Duc de Richelieu. It is reported that the School of Cavalry at Saumur is broken up, and that General Alphonse, who commanded it, retires. A letter from Bayonne says, a report is in cir culation there, that a new troop of Insurgents has been formed in Navarre, and that above 600 men in arms have appeared near Roncal. Gene ral Lopez Banos is stated to have marched to reduce these Insurgents. According to news from Greece received at Marseilles on the 16th of March, the Congress of the Peloponnesus has resolved, that Repre sentatives shall be sent to the different Courts of Europe to obtain a recognition of the indepen dence 'Of Greece. Men distinguished by their talents and their patriotism, will be chosen to fill these important functions. Political negociations will be opened between the United States of North America and the independent Islands of the Archipelago.. It is affirmed that the Ameri can frigate Caroline, which entered the port of Trieste on the 14th February, is bound for Hy dra ; it has on hoard arms and ammunition. The Greek Deputies to be sent to the Congress at Washington will embark for North America on board this vessel. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, MARCH 20.—Our corre spondent at Warsaw informs us, that the Otto- man troops on the banks of the Danube continue to concentrate themselves. A fresh mutiny is spoken of as having broken out among the Janis saries, who form a part of them. Coit'u, FEB. 22.---The last letters from Ja nina state, that Chourschild Pacha has been dis missed from his post'of Seraskier, and ordered to go to Constantinople to give an account of the treasures of Ali Pacha. It is not unlikely that he will meet with the same fate as his predeces sor Pacho-Bey, who had his head cut off a few days before the death of Ali Pacha, his mortal enemy. It is said that the treasures of Ali, at Janina, are not very considerable. MADRID, MARCH 14.—The last letters from Ceuta state, that Muley Soliman, who had aban doned the siege of Tetuan, had resumed it with 10,000 caval r y, b es id es i n f antry ; b ut as he has no artillery, it is feared his efforts will be un availing, especially considering that Muley Zeid continues to maintain a correspondence with the besieged, to induce them to defend themselves with vigour, which they in fact do. Various letters from Navarre state, that the greatest fermentation prevails; that at Pampe luna especially, fears are entertained lest the scenes of that month should be repeated ; it is even added, that the 19th is the day when the discontent is to manifest itself, and a fresh at tempt to be made. The patriots demand that the national militia shall be disarmed ; they also demand the change of General Mendizabal, .whom they accuse of being too indulgent; a cer tain number of individuals say that these Patriots must be proscribed, if it is wished to avoid great disasters. At Olitt they were continually crying" Down with the Constitution! and death to Riego !"--- At Puente ht Reyna these same cries had caused a tumult, in which several persons were wounded. Accounts from Seville say, that General Grima rest, the Marquess d'Atalaya, and other per sons of distinction implicated in a conspiracy against the Constitutional system, discovered last year, have been removed from Seville to Xeres la Frontera. On the same day (the 3d), the King's dragoons had a warm altercation with the militia, but the Magistrates had prevented any fatal consequences that might have attended the quarrel. Another letter from Seville speaks in positive terms of the death of the famous Curate Merino, at Quintanar de la Sierra, of a dropsy. The King has just appointed the thirteen Commandants -General of the thirteen military divisions, and the fifty-two Political Chiefs of the fifty-two departments, into which the Spanish territory is divided, by the Decree of the Cortes passed in January last." We are positively assured that all matters have been agreeably arranged between a high Personage and his Confidential Agent, who, by all accounts, has been " so clear in his great office," that it has been said he has not an enemy in the world. He is not only likely to be fully restored to favour, but speedily to be invested with all the promised honours. Extract of a Letter from Boston, Feb. 'M.— ' " We have reason to believe that the Slave Trade ' was never carried on with more spirit and deter mination than it has been the present year from the Havannah ; and I fear, from too authentic intelligence, that many of the vessels thus em ployed are owned by American citizens, who are concealed from our cruizers by the flimsy veil of the Spanish. flag, and under the mask of Spanish papers. When slaves upon the coast are reduced in price to 15 or 20 dollars per head, and are sold at Cuba at 600 dollars, the temptation be comes too great for desperate men to-resist, and operates as an inducement .to unprincipled indi viduals to engage in the traffic at every hazard." CHA RLESTON, FEB. 23.—We haVe had not less than 12 or 13 arrivals froM Liverpool since the Ist of the month, besideS valuable arrivals from other ports of Europe and the West Indies. We understand the duties secured at the Custom house the first six days of the month exceeded a million of dollars, being a greater sum than ever accrued in the same period of time. In the House of Commons, last night, a Pe tition was presented from the Gentlemen quali fied to serve as Grand Jurors for the County of Essex, praying that means might be adopted for holding a Commission of general Gaol Delivery, in the interval of eight months, which has hitherto been allowed to elapse between the Summer and Lent Assizes. From the very interesting debate that ensued, it will be seen that Government have determined on making the experiment of a third Gaol Delivery,in the course of next winter, for the Home Circuit, including the Counties of Essex, Hertford, Sussex, Surrey, and Kent.— Should the experiment be unattended by any se rious inconvenience, measures will be devised for extending this great and beneficial improvement in the administration of justice throughout the whole kingdom. The protracted interval which has hitherto taken place between the Summer and Spring Assizes, has long been felt as a very serious evil, not only from the accumulations of business being frequently greater than the Judges can possibly dispose of; but from the ma nifest though unavoidable hardship, and indeed oppressive injustice, to which even innocent in dividuals charged with offences are sometimes exposed, by being confined perhaps six or seven months before trial. On every principle of good government and humanity,it is desirable that this important and necessary innovation should com pletely succeed. We fear, however, iliat it is. too much to expect that the additional fatigue which the execution of the plan would entail upon the Judges, could be endured by them without an addition to their present number. All who have ever accompanied those learned and vene rable personages on their circuits, and who con sider the heavy pressure which the indefatigable and upright discharge of their arduous fluties imposes upon them throughout the year, must be aware that the office of a Judge is already one of great labour ; and that in fact, notwithstanding the lustre of the station to which the judicial authorities of the State are elevated, and the dignity of the character with which they are in vested, they are subjected to a degree of fatigue and of uninterrupted and assiduous attention to their harrassing duties, which is not exceeded by that which the meanest class of persons in the kingdom must give to their employments. We confess that we cannot foresee any danger from making an ad dition to their number. We have often thought that it was proper some relief should thus be given to them, from the weight of business, even while only two assizes were held yearly ; and now that so great a call is about to be made upon them for increased exertion, the appointment o more Judges appears to us to be indispensable. We lament to observe, from accounts in the Bury and Maidstone Papers, that the spirit of outrage which has been manifested against agri cultural machinery is not yet subdued. The Calendar for the Norfolk Assizes, which com menced on Saturday, contains the names of 11 prisoners, charged witlisacts of destruction, ori ginating in that violent hostility to mechanical iuventions, which so frequently bursts forth when employment for fife working classei is scarce, or inadequately requited. IRELAND.—The County of Limerick Grand Jury have agreed to petition Parliament for the further extension and continuance of the present Insurrection Act, which otherwise expires on the Ist of August. This is a strong indication of the little reliance which is placed in Ireland on the present comparative tranquillity of the coun try.—The Clonmel'Herald states, that the White= boys have burnt an out-house and a quantity of hay, the property of ROBERT KEANE, Esq., of Gorti ganitf; and the Waterford Mirror contains the par. ticulars of an attempt to assassinate the Rev. Mr. RYALL. Two tenants on the estate of Viscount AWARE, in Limerick, have been severely flogged by the insurgents for disobeying General Rocx's mandate to quit their farms.—ln Kilkenny, a weaver has ,been nearly murdered (having been unmercifully beaten, and afterwards thrown over a bridge), for working at his business, in defiance of the regulation of the " Union of Trades." —At Limerick Assizes, on the 20th, John AulOce was convicted of taking arms con trary to the statute. The following day, Patrick Cull, James Touhill, James Nash, and John Shea, were found guilty of feloniously seizing arms. The 22d, William Norman, Pa trick Nugent, Thomas Carmody, and James Cal linan, were convicted of feloniously taking arms from a party of four soldiers of the 40th regi. ment—Death.—The 23d, George Walker, of attacking the dwelling-house of John Shire-- Death.—At the Sligo and the Phillipstown As sizes, there have also been several convictions. At the latter place, Thomas Wilson was executed on Wednesday week for the murder of T. Knox, a policeman. William Cagney, convicted of the murder of Thomas Foley, has also been executed at Limerick. Both these unfortunate wretches are described as having been pentitent and re signed. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. This day has been perfectly devoid of interest in the City.— The Consols for April opened at 80H, and very little business has been done in them. They closed rather lower, there being sellers at 130 g, which to may be quoted as the ffnishing price. Foreign Securities appeared equally flat. A few transactions took place in the Spanish bonds, at a decline of from 4to per cent. In Neapolitan, Danish, Russian, or Prussian Stock, scarcely one bargain can be recorded. The opinion of the fu ture value of Rums is various. Many think that Government has made a good bargain by the late contract at ls. Bd., whilst others expect only dull markets. The motion made in the House of Commons the night before last, by Mr. JAMES HUNTER BLAIR, the production of several Papers re lative to the Eng lish, Irish, and Scotch Distilleries , leads many in the trad e • to ex p ect t h at some measure will be in troduced into Parliament to encourage the consumption of British Spirits. This would certainly, in some degree, assist the Agricultural Interest : and if Spirits of good quality can be manufactured at home as cheap as the Colonies or foreign nations Can produce them, not a doubt can be enter tained of its being strictly consistent with every admitted principle of political economy, that the Distillery Laws should be so modified as to admit of this national improvement. Much caution is, however, necessary, for an increased consump tion of British Spirits may injure the Brewers, and it will con sequently be necessary that these two trades be placed on an equal footing, in as far as the duties, in comparison with their strength arid value, affect them, and also it may probably be groper to equalise the duty on Foreign, Colonial, and Lritisli Spirits, in order that the public may be enabled to make their purchases where the cheapest and the best quality can be ob tained.—The Corn Trade continues very heavy. A great pro ' portion of the Wheat sold last Monday has this day been thrown up by the buyers, and to effect sales,_ a reduction of Is. and 2s. a quart er m us t b e su b m i tte d to. Malting Barley has fallen further in value. The best samples are only worth 225. to 245. The distillers universally are well stocked with Bar ley, and consequently sound stained quality can with great diffi culty be disposed of at 15s. to 17s. a quarter, leaving ss. to ss. 6d. a coon; to he Suffolk and Norfolk growers. The discont en t e d in these Counties continue to shew themselves by their actions.— At the late firing at Snapp, about 300 men were present, not a dozen of whom would assist in getting the fire under, and the remainder displayed their feelings in laughter and derision.— It is much to be regretted that there is a great want of confi dence in the conduct of the Agricultural Committee, produced by the fatal vote which many of its Members gave on the Salt repeal question. This interest may now look to the Earl Grey's motion, in order to see a triumphant exposition of sound and statesman-like principles ; but they cannot think that the House of Lords will entertain any question which may tend to alleviate the distresses of the people, after what has already taken place.—ln Baltic produce scarcely any thing is doing. St. Petersburgh Tallow for the July delivery has been sold at 425. 6d. Hemp is dull, though scarce, and worth about 481.-- Flax is extremely unsaleable, at 461.—(Morning Chronicle.) ARRIVAL OF THE KlNG.—About ten o'clock last ni l tht . his MAJESTY arrived at his Palace in Pall Mall, from Brighton. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the Right Hon. GEORGE CANNING was appointed Governor Ge neral of Bengal. ORATORIO.—The selection at Covent Garden Theatre, last night, consisted of Israel in Egypt, the celebrated work of HANDEL, and Extracts from Bajazct, the composition, as we before ,stated, of Lord BURGUERSH. The work alto gether is a proof of his Lordship's musical taste and science, and -would not.be unworthy of a professional musician. The other selections were from The Messiah, otherwise miscellaneous, and creditable to the judgment of Sir GEORGE SMART and Mr. BOCHSA. They wanted no support from the respective talents of both of those able professors, and bad the powerful vocal assistance of Mrs. SALMON, Mrs. BELLCHAMBERS, MISS GOODALL, Miss POVEY, and the beautiful Madame RONZI DE BEGNIS, Signor DE BEGNIS, Tonal, PLACCI, PYNE, HAWES, &C. &c. Between the first and second parts a new Coneertante, for two harps, by BOCIISA and Dim, was admirably performed, and introduced the popular air of " We're a 'noddin," arranged by Mr. IlAwEs, and so beautifully sung by Miss STEPHENS. The house was crowded to excess, and the whole very warmly applauded. - . . THE FINE ARTS.—A very beautiful Medallion, in memory of the late RICHARD COSWAY, Esq. has been placed in the new church of St. Mary-le-bonne. The subject is alle gorical : a profile of Mr. COSWAY is in the centre, and the sym bols of Painting and Poetry, with an Angelic Protector above, constitute an interesting group. The work is highly credita ble to Mr. WEST MACOT T. A whole-length figure of Psyche, by this Artist, may even rank with the antique. She is in the attitude of opening the box in order to embellish and render herself more worthy of the God of Love. it is indeed a work honourable to British genius. The name of COSWAY draws our attention to the beautiful works of that ad mirable Artist. They are, we find, submitted to public in spection, but not for public sale, except the Miniatures, which were left on the hands of the departed Artist, some in an unfi nished state, and some from the caprice or economy of those who ordered them. They consist of portraits of many dis tinguished characters of the day, male and female ; and the relatives, it seems, feeling some sense of family pride, are gra dually requiring them. While we are on the subject of the Fine Arts, we cannot help noticing the . fate of one of the most elaborate and beautiful drawings that industry and talents have ever produced.. The work alluded to is a representation of the baptism of the King of Rome at Paris.—BuCMTAPARTE appears presenting the Child for the solemn ceremony. The Archbishops and the members of the church, ,the peers, generals, &c. &c. form altogether a grand and august scene. The work is the production of GOBEAU, a celebrated French Artist, who was employed on it three years. £3,000 was once offered for it, but refused ; and it was sold on Tuesday last by Mr. Stanley, in Bond-street but, notwithstanding the excel lence of the compositi on , and the zeal, perseverance, and, we may really add, the eloquence of the auctioneer, did not reach a higher price thun £260.—1t was bought by Mr. lIAmLET, of Cavendish-square, whose laudable industry in the acquisi tion of wealth is well balanced by the taste with which he em ploys it, and who possesses treasures of Art that would do honour to the noblest collection. Last Saturday evening, his MAJESTY had a Musical Party in the Octagon Room, at his Palace, at Brighton. Among the music performed was the delightful music in Macbeth. The solos and recitatives allotted to the character of Hecate were most admirably supported by Mr. J. B. Sale. The other parts were excellently sung by Messrs. W. Knyvett, Vaughan and Hawes. The King retired a few minutes before 12 o'clock.— On Sunday, the Dean of Hereford preached before the, ing, from the words—" If G OD b e f or us , w h o can b e aga i nst us ?" from which the Reverend Dean made a most excellent dis course. The Anthem was " Behold how good and joyful," which was sung by Mr. W. Knyvett and Mr. J. B. Sale.— Sunday evening, his Majesty had Sacred Music, when Mr. Vaughan gave the opening to the Messiah very finely. Sir W. and Lady A'CouRT are shortly expected to arrive at the Pulteney Hotel, Piccadilly, from Naples. NATIONAL SOCIETY.--Yesterday the General Committee of the National Society for the Edu cation of the Poor in the Principles of the Esta blished Church, held their Meeting at St. Mar tin's Vestry Room. Present—Archbishop of Can terbury, Bishops of London, Salisbury, Ely, Gloucester, Bangor, and Exeter ; Lord Kenyon, Archdeacon Watson, Sir James Longhorn, and other Members of the Committee.

The Anniversary Festival of this laudable Institution was held yesterday evening, at the City of London Tavern, Bishops gate-street, his Grace the Duke of Northumberland in the Chair, supported by Sir Isaac Coffin, Sir Abraham Hume, and several other persons of distinction. The Company, ea= sitting of between 2 and 300 persons, was of the most respec table description. A t the cast end of the room a temporary gallery was erected for the accommodation of the 'ladies, who attended most nu merously. _ _ In the course of the evening the individuals who have bean restored through the medium of the Society's plans, were intro duced into the room, which they paraded to slow music, and the solemnity of the scene produced a most powerful impression. The Secretary's Report stated, that within the period of forty-eight years, the Society h a d paid 20,500 claimants, for cases where lives have been preserved. Since its establishment, 5,000 individuals, including the saved and restored, have been rescued through its agency, in the metropolis, from premature death ; and it has been suggested that a medal should be pre sented, and worn by watermen, whose exertions have saved the lives of individuals. In the course of last year, - the' nurither of cases which came under the consideration of the S amount to 149, of which number 134 were successful t 'an unsuccessful. Among the 149 were 20 attempted suicidis females, and 3 of males, and two fell victims to self-dWa't/e -don. The number of successful cases were 5,154 ; rCnd the number of claimants rewarded, added to the total of former years, 20,535 ; the above enumeration is merely 'confined to London and its vicinity. In instancing the effects of the So ciety in the year 1820-1, forty persons fell through the icein the Serpentine River, and Canal in St. James's Park, but were saved through the Society's means. A most interesting ceremony took place in the course of the , evening, in the presentation of a Medal by' the Duke of Northumberland to a Mrs. Blamire, through whose exertions the life of an individual was saved. On the 3d of. December, 1821, during very tempestuous weather ? a boat belonging . to the Industry, tender to his Mesty's shW Severn, was coming on shore with 14 men on boar; at eight o'clock -she was seen to upset, and every man was consigned to - the raging, see. Mrs. B. had been anxiously watching the boat from her cot tage window, and she beheld the circumstance.. She hastened to the beach to afford relief, but the boat and crew were sunk ; the body of an old man was dragged from the water; Mrs. B. ordered him to be removed to her own cottage; 'and after fol lowing the instructions of the Society, and paying , the most un ceasing attention to the man, he was restored, although ap parently dead-when taken out of the water. She was received with the most rapturous applause. - - A subscription to a large amount was made by the company, who did not separate until a late hour. MERCANTILE SHIPPING, &c.
