FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, MAY 19.—Letters from Naples state that a political change in the system of the Go vernment-seems to be in preparation. In conse quence of this change, earnestly desired by Aus tria, that Power will consent to diminish its Army of Occupation. Its principal force will be con centrated in Lombardy.. It is.generally believed at Naples that a new Ministry is on the point of being formed, under the direction of M. de Medici. This Statesman enjoys, at the same time, the con fidence of the. Neapolitan people, and that of the Cabinet of Vienna. The rise which has taken ,glace here in the price of 1 e4olitan Securities, in the Exchange, affords considerable confirma tion to these statements.—(Quotidienne.) For some days past conflagrations have almost entirely ceased in those Departments which had suffered most from them. DEPUTIES 'ELECTED. Department de r Oise—M. Florian de Kergorlay, M.

Au insurrection has broken out in a part of Macedonia, which renders the' . positiati of -Chourschid .Pacha so much the more critical, as', he has no longer.any communication; except with Bosnia. The principal communications have for' the present been cut off by these events. In 'Servia; Prince Milosch has had an interview with the Pacha of Belgrade, at the distance of five leagues from that capital, but the prudent Prince was accompanied by 5,000 armed men. VIENNA, MAY B.—No further dispatches have :yet arrived from Constantinople. It is certain that the Porte has not answered the Note of M. Lutzow.of -the .Bth April, or at least that it has-not given a satisfactory answer, other Wise we should not. fail to be informed of it by the Aus trian Observer. There is much talk of a mission which is to be confided toVeneral de Radewsky,formerly Chief of the General Staff. It is asserted that he is to proceed to the Emperor of Russia, and that his misskon-is connected with that of M. de Tatits chef. . General de Radewsky is to be the bearer of an autograph letter from our Emperor to the Emperor of Russia. It appears, however,, that ,he will not . commence his journey till after the arrival of the next dispatches from M. de Lutiow. • Letters, from Semlin- state, that the misunder standing ,between the Servian Chiefs .and the Pacha of Belgrade continues to augment.

The flotilla of the Sa miens lnid already taken: flight. The Capitan Paella, before effecting a:descent, sent to ask the Commandant of the fortress. if the whole island was" ina.state of insurrection ; the answer of the latter_was,, that the Greeks were assembled in force in two large.batteries tiring upon the castle, and they would hear of nothing but its surrender. In . effect, notwithstanding the apnea ranconf e q .,. droll, they continued their fire for upwards of four hours. A fter learning with certainty their persever ance in revolt, the Capitan.Pacha disembarked a corps of troops, .which being immediately joined by more from the .fortress, they stormed the height of Tourloti, and carried it in a short time. The flight then commenced, then the massacre, and then the burning of the town,, which con .tinued for five days. Four villages—Thimiana, . Livadia. Vrondado and Vassilinico were also in flames. Terror and - desolation were every where. Upwards of 50,000 persons sent to make their, submission to the Capitan . Pacha. Several thou sand Greeks were sabred in a village, where they ':}lad adopted the determination of defending'them -s:Aves. It is-stated that no Catholic perished 1500 ,persons , took refuge' at the French Consu late, and they were respected ; the Capitan Paella has provided for their safety. Pardon will ite granted to the Sciotes—they are to deliver up 1000 Samians, who were the authors of. all ...all their disasters, and they hope every thing .frorn•the generous character of the Grand Ad ,ffniral, and the merciful intentions manifested by the Grand Seignior.—(Spectateur Oriental.) HANoVEn, MAY .11.-Our Gazette of to-day tootains the following_article:—" Foreign Jour- Atals have taken upon them to circulate that the King had an intention of marrying the Princess Royal of Denmark, daughter of the King of Denmark.. The same Journals .also state that .negociations were en foot for the purpose of ex ,changing' the Kingdom of Hanover for the Dan -ish Isles. These reports have found their way - Auto the German Soarnals,'- have deceived the public, and perhaps given birth to the disquietude here and there amongst persons, who, from the positive tone of these tales, might for the moment forget that an exchange of this kind, would be as contrary to the European State Convention as to the known opinions of the King. The recollec tion of these circumstances will surely suffice to dissipateall disquietude amongst the Hanov( , rians. But, in order to remove all doubt, we can state from sources of certainty that these, two state -meats are without foundation.". THE PATENT TWINE CLOTIL-This cloth iS found to unite all the advantages of the grass cloth of China, the linens of Germany, 'and' the long cloths of Madras, for wear in the hot as well as the Northern climates, possessing the property of giving an. intermediate genial temperature, avoiding :the coldness of the one, and .the too great warmth of the-other, and is of greater eco nomy than every other kind of cloth..

They contain the following article from Odessa, by which it appears that the Porte is resolutely determined to persist in the memorable decision of the Divan of the 28th of February. ODESSA, APRIL 26.—( Extract of a Private Letter.)—" A vessel which left Constantinople on the 20th of April brings the following news :—The Porte has not yet replied to the last notes of the Ambassadors of England and Austria. It was currently reported, but we cannot by any, means vouch for the correctness of the report, that the Reis Effendi had sent back to Count Lut- ZOW the note of the 28th of February, with ink-blots purposely made, that it might be transmitted a second time to the Court of Vienna. The Divan seems more and more convinced, on ac count of the continual negociations carried on by the Ambassa dors of Christian Powers, that the whole of Christendom would be drawn into a general war, if hostilities should bteak out be tween Turkey and Russia. It therefore looks upon the pre sent occasion as a favourable moment to oppos: a firm and haughty attitude to the demands of the Russian Government ; and it will become the more intractable, the more an inclina tion to treat will be displayed." We extract from the Journal des Mbats an article respecting a fresh proposition to be made by the Christian Powers to the Porte. We are aware that every exertion will be made by them to avert a war, but N% e doubt much the practica bility of erecting a new State in the manner sug gested. The conduct of the Porte has shewn that the GRAND SEIGNIOR will not make the least concession, and it is idle to suppose' that he would consent to the creation of a new State by sacrificing a valuable portion of his domi nions; nor does the second part of the plan ap-. pear easier of accomplishment, for Russia, we conceive, would never relinquish her fine pro vinces on the Black Sea. • "VIENNA, MAY IL—Peace is generally 'expected, but not founded on the bases of the Russian Ultimatum. We are as sured that a. new basis mutually agreed on by the different Christian Courts will be proposed to the Porte. In this plan it is a matter of debate whether a new State shall be formed in Moldavia and Wallachia, or only in the former of these two Provinces. The Austrians are ardently desir ous of seeing the lower branch • of the Danube in the hands of a civilised power, which would render the na vigation of this noble river more safe and easy. This improve ment 'would double the value of the wheat, woollens, end other exports of Hungary, to which a new vent would thereby be opened. But Austria does not wish that this civilised power, destined to reign over Moldavia and WallaChia, should at the same time be sufficiently powerful to obstruct, at its option, the .passage of the Danube. Far better would it be for Austria that these fine countries should remain in the possession of the Turks. The creation of an intermediary State would coincide with all her views. Supposing that means could be devised of not forming it at the expense of a single' power—for it is evi dent enough that the only one which' they could despoil (Turkey), would not suffer herself to be despoiled without a war—and a-war is what the Allied Courts are anxious at any sacrifice to avoid. " The creation of a kingdom of Moldavia might be easily ef fected, if Turkey, Russia, and Austria, would unanimously re solve to give up that part of the territory which each possesses between the Dniester and the Danube. The Buckowine, or Austrian Moldavia, the Russian Government of Bessarabia, and Turkish Moldavia, would, by their reunion, form a beau tiful' territory, - and a limit of separation between the three empires, whose interests upon this point are in a perpetual conflict." We give further extracts in another column. A late arrival from New York, received this morning, to the 29th April, brings the following intelligence:— NORTH-WEST COAST.--The documents com municated to Congress on Wednesday relative to this subject are published. In making this communication the Secretary of State observes, that the British Minister had intimated that the proposed plan of occupying Colombia River might interfere with the rights of his Govern ment ; the Secretary declined to answer his in quiries, or discuss the claims of England, other wise than in writing, but no written communi cation had been received. In answer to a Note from the Secretary of State, dated the 30th March, relative to the Russian Decree, a letter was received from the Russian Minister, which contains the following passage : " As to the rights claimed for the citizens of the United States of trading with the natives of the north-west coast o f America, without the limits of the jurisdiction belonging to Russia, the Imperial Government will not certainly think of limiting it, and still less of attacking it there ; but I cannot dissemble, Sir, that this same trade, beyond the 51st degree, will meet with difficulties and inconveniences, for which the American owners will only have to accuse their own im prudence, after the publicity which has been given to the mea» sures taken by the Imperial Government for maintaining the rights of the Russian. American Company." In the House of Commons, last night, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice, that he would on Friday move Tor a Committee of the whole House on the Resolutions respecting Country Banks and the Half-pay and Pensions Annuities 3 It appears that no part of the con tract for the latter project has yet been entered into. We repeat our conviction that, if prac ticable, its operation will be found highly ad• vantageous to the Country, and we there fore hope that the CUANCELLOIt of the EXCHEQUER will still be able to devise some means of carrying it into execution. As for the proposed alteration in the constitution of the Country Banks, except that greater sta bility may thus be given to their concerns, we do not see any great advantage which can be de rived to the country from the measure contem plated respecting them. It should be distinctly kept in view, that any existing limitation to the issues of the Country Banks does not arise from want of confidence in the Banks on the part of the Public, but from the Bunkers having very little confidence in the securities offered by the Public to them. The object of asking questions in the House of Commons is not generally understood. It is with the view of either making a speedy commu nication to the Public or to afford Gentlemen opportunities of explaining points of which erro neous impressions have been made. Doubtless it was with the former view that Mr. ELLICE last night asked Mr. WlLsto'r respedting the deci sion of Government touching the Canadian Claims, and when the scattered situation' of the claimants is considered, there could scarcely be devised a more speedy mode of communicating to them the satisfactory result of their appeal, to the mother country, than by making the . printed report of the proceedings in Parliament con ducive to that end : 100,000/. at the present period, assured to the inhabitants of Upper Ca nada, will diffuse great satisfaction, and tend to strengthen that attachment to this country which they so generously evinced during the late Ame rican war. We have understood that it was only on Saturday, or yesterday, that the business was brought to that issue. The Committee of the, Subscribers for the re lief of the distress in Ireland, now offer abounty of twenty shillings per ton on the importation of 1500 tons of potatoes into certain ports in Ireland specified ; and they also offer the price of 131. 10s. per - ton for the first 50 tons of sound oat ,meal which shall be imported into Kilrush. From these measures of the London Committee, and from corresponding efforts which are making in Ireland, the reality ,of a scar city of food in the distressed districts is in dubitably established. We therefore hope that speculators will boldly make shipments on a large scale. They are sure of finding a. de mand for a vast'quantity of the coarser sorts of food; and the benevolence of the public is ra pidly throwing a sufficient sum of money•int° circulation in the quarter where provisions are s 9 pressingly required by the necessities of the people.—Some of the Irish Tapers Make the `natural inquiry of how It is ti, at . a country, so fertile and productive,—a country which has been considered as the granary of Great Britain, —in which the late harvests of corn were so abundant that they might be almost said to cost nothing in their production,—how it is that in such a country FAMINE should make its ar pearance, and threaten with destruction so large a portion of the population ! It is the fashion to attribute the calamitous condition of the Irish to misgovernment. It may, however, with inure justice be attributed to the absence of all government whatever in the most important concerns of a people. It has been presumed that the supply of -all articles of necessity and com fort is best insured by leaving the efforts of capital and of individual industry and enterprise free from legislative direction and controul. The actual situation of Ireland is a practical and an appalling proof of the utter fallaciousness of reliance upon theoretical principles, which experience has strewn to have no real or' beneficial influence over public interests.—Yet it is from reliance on those principles that this country is about to abandon her navigation system, and those other protec tive regulations which have raised her to her pre sent eminence ! CITY, , TetEsDAY EvExried. • Letters are said to have been this day received from SniyOta* dated the 23d ult., at which time that town was perfectly tran quil, and business had, assumed considerable activity. They farther report a circumstance, which, if true, must aflord gene ral satisfaction. They say that the CAPITAN . PAOLA is amen of great humanity, and that he has used every exertion in his power to save from the fury of the Turks such Greeks at acid as submitted to him, and that he had taken the women and children, who had on the 15th April been collected in the large square, on board his own ships, to prevent his followers from carrying them into slavery. It is sincerely to be hoped that time will confirm the truth of this information ; but, as it comes from Smyrna, and as mercy has seldom been extended by a Turk to an offending Christian, farther confirmation must be received, before the rumour can obtain implicit credit. The situation of a white slave is infinitely more deplorable amongst these Asiatic barbarians, than that of the African black is 10 our West India Colonies; and when Lord LoienoNDERRI" is most properly using the best influence of the British nation amongst the different Kingdoms and States, for the total Abo lition of the African Slave Trade, it would be worthy of the philanthropy of the British Empire for him to use the same with his High Ally the Urand Sultan, for the libera tion of Christian Captives. To civilise Turkey, however, or any other nation, does not appear to enter into the presen t foreign policy of free and civilised England.—Letters fro m dated the Bth of May, state .that heavy storms had done great injury to the mulberry trees. The first seed o f the silk worms was supposed, in many cases, to have perish ed, and it is said that it had been found necessary to lay in new seed.
