Letters from Bale of the 15th instant say, " Several new mea sures are taking for the purpose of driving from Switzerland the Italian fugitives who are residing:in some of the Cantons. There is even a talk of a foreign requisition for arresting some of them ; but they having anticipated this step, escaped in efferent directions." A letter from Bayonne of a recent date says, "We learn from a very authentic source, that the greatest discontent pre vaiis throughout the Northern part of the Peninsula; 160 Royalists; completely armed, all excellent soldiers, quitted Bil boa at the beginning of this month to overthrow the Constitu tional authority in Biscay. A detachment of 80 Royalists joined them the day after their departure. The Political Chief sent a Constitutional Regiment from Vittoria, but the liberales Were defeated, and soon returned to their garrison."—( Gazette de France.)

It was reported yesterday on 'Change that the house of Vas sal had received a letter from Constantinople, dated the 25th April, which held out strong hopes of the maintenance of peace. This news was in some degree the cause of the great rise in the funds. TRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, MAY . Five per Cents. Opened at ...... 89 f. 40 c. Closed at ..... . 89 f. 25 c.

His Majesty the Emperor happened to be absent at Zarskojeselo. The dispatches brought by M. de Tatischeff were immediately lent to the Emperor by an express. A Privy Council was held on them, at the Palace; on the Ist instant, and we shall now very shortly know the result of their deliberations, and the inea. -sures which our beloved Monarch may think proper to be taken. The Crown has lately made large contracts for the convey ,a.nce of military stores to Minsk and Riga. .We have received the following accounts from the Turkish frontiers:— " A large army is forming near Nissar ; and, for the most -part, troops from Albania, Bosnia, Macedonia, and Scutari, .are ordered thither by the Divan ; the members of which are -said to differ extremely in their opinions since the death of Ali Paella. In case of war the whole Turkish army will unite there, cross-the Danube at Widdin, and occupy, the upper part of "Wallachia, extending to the Austrian territories. The army of the Grand Vizier advances in two columns, one by way of Sophia to Rudschuk, the other by way of Schumla to Barilow. Ghourschid Paella, the favourite of the day; but whose motions, =it is said, are greatly impeded by the Greeks, is likewise to have a command. in the great Turkish army assembling 'son the -Danube. -On the frontiers of Bosnia, the Turks have had soiree disputes with,the local authorities." According to authentic accounts, Persia is inclined to peace with the Porte, if the latter will accede to certain demands, to which, however, it refuses to listen. Mr. Whitlock, the Eng lish Resident at Teheran, exerts all his efforts to mediate a peace between the two powers. Hamburgh, May 21.--Exchange on London, 36f. 10 c., rf. St. Petersburgh, May 3.—Exchange on London, 9 9-16 c." CORFU, Arian 20.—An Act of the Parliament of the United States of the lonian Isles fixes the punishment to be • inflicted upon the infractors of lonian neutrality. The subjects :of the said States, taking an active. art for or against the bel ligerent parties. in Epirus, Poloponnesus, or the adjacent • illands, canneries or seas, shall be exiled from the lonian /ales, and their dependencies and their property, real and per- Gene!, confiscated. ZANTE, APRIL 16-2.--The system of neutrality which his bean proclaimed in the lonian Isles goes directly to the confis • cation of the property of all the' lonian Nobles suspected of being favourable to the cause of the Greeks, who are combat ing for their independence. Several of these Nobles, known by their fortune and ,their principles, have been obliged to expatriate themselves, and seek for safety in the Insurgent lalara-so Amongst them are the Count Metaxa, a rich pro. prietor, M. Anzulacato, known for his wealth and the honour aole employment of his fortune, and the venerable Arch heshop of Cephalonia, Typeldo, known for his piety and his learning. ODEssA, APRIL 28.—Up to the 22d, nothing certain was known at St. Petersburgh as to peace or war. • NUREMBERG, •MAX' 16.—The Supreme Aulic Chancery cf Vienna sends couriers after couriers to Constantinople, in order to quicken the steps of M. de Lutzow; and to induce the Divan to consent to the evacuation of Moldavia and Wal laellie, which would be considered at Petersburgh as a pledge of peace on the part of 'the Porte. Commercial letters from Vienna, but cf suspicious authority, say, that Austria has • obtained the consent of Russia to a further delay. It is also said, that the Porte has promised verbally to M. de Lutzow he evacuation of the Turkish principalities on the left bank of the Danube, in three months. There seems, however, to be much illusion at Vienna, and they know very little there of the real disposition of the Porte. AuGSBURG, MAY 17.—1 t is stated from Hamburgh that • the Emperor of Reissia Was expected on the 29th ult. at ff.ittau. His Imperial Majesty was to proceed to Warsaw, and from thence to the array. VIENNA, MAY 1 I.—( Extract of a Private Letter.) — We do not expect the final decision of the Emperor of Russia respecting the affairs of the East before the 20th or 22d instant. Almost every one believes that this de cision will be for peace, and that the Emperor will place his interests in the hands of the Mediating Powers. The con tract for our loan with AL de Rothschild has been signed, but the terms are not yet known. It will b. for 33,0:10,000 florMs. it is said that on the 18th April the Divan transmitted a very pacific answer to the note which the Austrian Internuncio and the English Ambassador presented on the Bth. The. Divan, it is said, had announced that the evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia would commence on the Ist May, and that the Porte would at the same period make known its choice of new Ms podars. NAPLES, MAY 7.—Thb most severe measures have been adopted respecting the maintenance of security and tranquil lity in this city. An Order of the Commissary-Creneralof Police enjoinsall the proprietors of houses to make known the names of the persons who reside in them. , ' Another ordonnance of General 'Police directs that all fo reigners arriving here hall-, within 24 hours, report themselves • to the respective Ambassadors 'of their 'nations, and present thcms.ives to the Police. Fnike:XFoner, MAY 19.—The Princess Elizabeth, Land gravine of Hesse Homburg, and sister of the King of Great Britain, has received accounts from London, which formally contradict the reports concerning an intended journey' of her brother to the Continent, the state of the King's health not permitting such a journey. BERLIN, MAY 18._ By a Royal Cabinet Order, all Prussian Officers who entered, without permission, the corps of the Duke • of Brunswick Oels, (in 1809), are pardoned. Ens iso RE, MAY 18.. - --11 re expect the Crown Prince of Swe den on the 24ti. He will immediately go to Copenhagen and rat:lde at the King's Palace. ilaa - ovEit, 'MAY 17.—We are still in expectation of seeing his Majesty our King in the course of the summer, and the hope is confirmzd by our accounts from England ; if we may-credit them, the King will leave LOndon in the beginning of june. SPAIN. MADRID, MAY 12.—One of our Journals has published a letter from a correspondent, who states that he had proofs of a plot to assassinate the Political Chief of Madrid, of which he informed that Magistrate. He gives several particulars to prove is ti. , e comvijrators that their plots are known, and that there may be no doubt, he adds two papers, which were thrown in at the windows of Fontana d'Oro, and publicly read in the club. 'They run thus:— " Valiant Citizens of Madrid! The infamous Ministers, the traitors Ds Arguelles, Valdes, Alaod, La Puerta, Benito, and the Captain-General Morillo, are agreed to destroy the sacred ' , Constitution. They hold their councils in the Palace ; there .-4re messengers going backwards and forwards to the Court , (Seti , ,) I speak the truth; let these Caribs "die, and if there 'ism doubt, let the safeguard of the law be given me, and 1 will appear at the Bar of the Congress, and convince the loners of their country. " Bra-ve Citizens of Madrid! The Constitution and the coun try perieh by infamous Ministers, Arguelles, La Puerta,Val dez, eaul their adherents—they authorise the conspiracies, and raise recruits to join the factious. Let them' die, then, rather than we should die by she hands of these wretches." . , MAY 13.—(Private Correspondence.)—On the 7th Lieute nant Colonel Conizares was arrested, who was condemned to death par contumace, ,for being implicated in the affair of Bur gos. It appears that he was preparing to proceed into Castile, in order to organise a party in concert with one of his accom plices, also arrested on the night of the 7th. : Another indivi dual has been apprehended at the moment of his arrival from Irun, by the way of Aranjuez. On his person was found the plan of a conspiracy, which was to have taken effect on the 16th mat., the day of St. Isidore. Yesterday morning the Volun teer National Guards of Madrid, infantry and cavalry, were as "sembled in the Prado, for the purpose of hearing read a decree of the Cortes, sanctioned by the King, ‘declaring the hymn of Riego a national hymn. This Citizen Militia traversed the capital, and contributed to excite the enthusiasm of the people, and augment the sentiment of national strength. The. Special ComMittee of the Cortes relative to responsibility proposed in the Sitting of the llth, to bring to trial the Politi cal Chief of Madrid. This functionary is strongly protected by the Ministry, whose whole confidence he enjoys. Yesterday the Cortes decreed, that the 13th, the Anniversary of the return of the King to Madrid, being a day of mourning for Spaniards on account of the overthrow of the Constitutional regime, it should be henceforth forbidden to celebrate it at Court.- This remarkable division was come to at nine in the evening. The accounts from the Pinvinces state, that the national fete of the 2d of Max has been celebrated with the greatest en thusiasm at all points of the Monarchy. Several private letters state, that the inhabitants of the country have received with warm gratitude the intelligence of the adoption by the Cortes of the first law respecting seignioral rights. They loudly testify their joy. Some factious re-appear on different points of our provinces, but the zeal of the authorities and the ardour of our troops in crease, and success almost always rewards their constancy and devotedness. Our Minister in the United States has quitted Washington and retired to Philadelphia. His sudden departure is attribut ed to the Message sent to Congress relative to South America. Puerto Rico has hoisted the standard of independence.— Coartitutionnel.) MAY 14.—The total of the permanent effective Army has been raised to 22,000 infantry, and about 3,300 cavalry. Of this force 30 battalions, consisting of 8,000 infantry and 1.200 cavalry, has received orders to march to the frontiers.— The Provincial Militia of the frontier provinces have also received orders to take up arms. Thus the counter-cordon will consist of upwards of 30,000 men. Montanes maintains himself at Camproden, which is to be the general -rendezvous of Defenders of the Faith, although Mims has been unable to effect a junction with him, having been beaten.—Numerous Insurgents are marching to the same point, to combat under the §tandard of ' Faith.—( Journal des Debuts.) BARCELONA, lIAY 11.—The Commandant-General of Tar ragona writes, that at least 2,000 men will be required to defeat the Insurgents. LABLSB.tL, MAY 6.—At this moment we reckon 17 villages in complete insurrection. ~CORUNNA, MAY s.—Yesterday, after the arrival of the post from. St. Jago, alarming reports were spread that the factious, to the number of 1000 men, had assembled at Tuy. We have made inquiries of the authorities, and can affirm that there is no truth in their reports, for the Political Chief of Vigo having gone to the place in question, found every thing perfectly tran quil. The Political Chief of Orexase has no fear that any fac tious will appear in that province, every means being prepared to repulse them if they should attempt it. In a word, all the authorities are vigilant and act.in concert, and the public may be assured that whatever may happen, the enemies of the system will be baffled. A,LICANT, MAY 4.—A scandalous event, which calls for the attention of the Government, lately happened at. Tibi :—Forty armed men, with six horses, entered the place in the night, firing muskets, and uttering horrible cries; they proceeded to the house of a wide*, who was looked upon as rich, and robbed it of 43,000 piastres. Having secured their booty, they left the place, and were said to be encamped on the 2d at the foot of the Sierra del Lid ; and the people of Agost were in the greatest alarm. Let us hope that these evils will soon be checked; they dishearten the people, and make them despair of obtaining the advantages which the Constitution promises them. MAY O.—W e_have authentic accounts that the robbers who , 'lately entered Tibi are of, the towns of Mondovar Aspe and NoVelda, and that they retired to their homes at their leisure, and with the greatest boldness. It is said also, and not with out foundation, that these robbers are protected by the local authorities, under, the cover of whose criminal connivance they commit these excesses, and the inference is clear, as they can not be ignorant of t.hovgabonds who are unhappily to be found in their jurisdictiOn. CADIZ, MAY 2.—Tile Provin,cial Deputation of the province of Cadiz has just published a most energetic, sensible, and con stitutional Address to the inhabitants of that province and to all Spain. This respectable body has thought it might be ac cused of favouring the fomenters of disorder and the apostles of anarchy, if' it did not express in the most solemn manner its sentiments and its wishes. If such are the ideas and desires of all Spain, it would be very useful if all the Provincial De putations would follow the example of that of Cadiz, and make a solemn declaration of their sentiments. Foreign nations would thus learn that the mad notions of a few are not the ge neral opinion of the nation, and would lose the apprehension which begins toshamit them, that the Spaniards would lose by their errors the noble example they have given to the whole world. Perhaps the incorrigible enemies of our tranquillity might then be convinced how vain are all'their efforts to make us retrograde, or to hurry us rashly on in the road we have taken, to attain our happiness. AFFAIRS OF GREECE. Extract of a Letter, dated Marseilles, 17th instant, to a house in London:—. "We have accounts from Scio up to the 17th April. The city was entirely destroyed; all the houses were opened and ransacked of their furniture, Scc.,, and, after being thus plun dered, were set fire to, which fire continued till the 17th, date of the last advises. Up to the 11th the hostages in the Castle were still alive, but nothing further has been heard of them since. On the 14th great numbers of the Turks dispersed themselves over the face of the country, plundering, destroy ing, and burning all the country' houses they met with; they then advanced to the villages of Calchio, Thmiiana, and Vas silionico, which were all three burned and destroyed. All the churches, both in. the city and in the country, were broken open, robbed, and many of them burned. They even vented their rage on the Catholic Church of St. Nicholas in the city, and on two others in Frangoyinii in the country, and which were used in the same way as those of the Greek communion. You may judge if they have laid violentand sacrilegious hands On the Catholic Churches, what they must have done to those belonging to the Greeks. What a picture for humanity ! The streets filled with heaps of men, women, and children, cruelly butchered by, the Turks. The large place before the fortress, and the fortress itself, filled with women and dill dren of the' most respectable families, exposed to the brutal con duct and savage ferocity of the Asiatics. Nor is it the sword or fire alone that the poor Greeks have to suffer from, they are also threatened with an immediate famine., The French Con sul has provisions only for la days, for he has given shelter in his palace (a very large and extensive building you know) to 1500 souls, among whom are 842 Greeks, the rest Latins.— Among them is Mr. ****, with all his family ; he was taken there by a Turk, to whom he gave a handsome sum, but who afterwards repenting of his humanity in having placed them in safety, went with some other Turks to demand them back from the Cpnsul, who, however, peremptorily refused, and forthwith requested the Pacha to give him a guard, which was granted, and five Turks were placed there as a protection. The Consul brought M—'s sister, found, after a great deal Of difficulty, in the possession of a Turk, for 150 piasters. The wife, of poor Mr. ,and his two lovely boys,were bought as slaves by an Algerine, and taken to Alexandria. Should any vessel arrive, here from Smyrna, we shall have fuller accounts and particu lars respecting this ill-fated island, as the clerk of Mr. (who is a Frenchman), went to Scio for the purpose df assist ing and redeeming the families of his employers. lie h,as taken with him a large sum of money,, and eight cwt. of biscuit.— You can form but a poor idea of the state of my feelings whilst reading the heart-rending recital of these calamitous events.— GOD only knows what will become of our unfortunate fami lies." - Extract from a letter written at Athens hr,/ M. V—, Pupil of the Polytechnic Sehool, fininerly an dicer in the French Navy, now commanding, with the rank qf General, the ar tillery of Y ANLi's Army : "It is only by living amongst-the Greeks that an adequate idea can be formed of the courage and devotion of this people, which so long has groaned under the most frightful tyranny. " Our cause prospers on every side. We have just gained important advantages at PatrUjek, and have almost totally de stroyed the Turkish troops which had disembarked at Patras. This fleet, after so wretched an expedition, could not return to Constantinople. Either from the bad weather, or through fear of the Greek fleet, it has entirely dispersed ; part of the ships made for the coast of Barbary; the rest for Egypt, where six or eight of them have been wrecked. " The Samians, after providing for the safety of their island, made a descent on Tchesmea, where they rescued a great num.' ber of Greek families. They next assisted the island of Chio to throw off the yoke. The important fortress of Napoli di Ro mania has now begun to treat for a capitulation. I hope a fortnight will not elapse before the Turks will `deliver up the keys of our Acropolis. You will, I fear, look, upon me as a Vandal when I tell you that 1 have already thrown in 250she11s;" but the Egis of Minerva has protected her Temple. Our flag flies on the Parthenon. " You know the end of Ali Pacha. This event might have been detrimental to our cause, had our enemies known how to profit by it. Every thing indicates that the Pacha of Egypt is about to seize this moment of the Porte's extreme embarrass ment, to throw off that remnant of dependence which he can but very ill brook. " The Persians are constantly gaining advantages over the Turks ; they continue to advance. but their diversion is not sufficient. Should no European Power take a part in our af fairs, we shall, before the end of three months, find ourselves much embarrassed, unless Russia shall persist in that system of observation which obliges the Turks to concentrate their principal forces on the Danube. How can European policy look with such coldness on interests so great? It appears to be forgotten that blood is flowing on all sides, and that each portion of delay adds its portion of victims."—( Courier Francois, May 19.) PARLIA:•IENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

We give in our subsequent columns a Trans lation of the Provisional ,Constitution of the Greeks, promulgated by the Deputies of the National Congress who assembled at Ar gos, and chiefly directed their labours to the formation of the social compact by which their Country is to be governed. This import ant Document was made public on the 13th. of January last. The Congress, to whom the Nation had confided its interests, has laid down in this organic laW the - bases of the Constitution of the Greeks, and -bas left to the Government which it established only the care of framing some laws of secondary interest, the precise objects and principal provisions. of which. it has traced out.—Webave been informed that this Con-' stitution has given.general satisfaction throughout Greece, that the new Government possesses, in an eminent degree, the confidence of the Nation, and that its conduct has been marked by consi derable energy. Since the promulgation of this act the seat of Government haS been transferred to Athens. Let us hope that, notwithstanding the great difficulties against which the Greeks have to contend, they may be able to establish their independence on a firm basis :—the triumph of this fine people, dear to us from so many in teresting recollections, must be hailed with joy by every scholar and friend of humanity. We have reason to believe, upon what we con ceive to be competent authority, that there is to be a. Meeting of the Allied Sovereigns at Flo rence early in August, for the purpose of adjust ing the affairs of Piedmont and Naples, and those relating to Turkey and Russia.—We learn, besides, that a Minister Nom Turkey is to attend the Meeting, and also a Deputation from he Greeks. Our Minister at the Court o Vienna is of course to be present at this impor tant Meeting, in order to watch over the relations of the British Empire.—lt may seem strange that the Turk is to send a representative to this Congress, and that the Greeks, after all that has passed on both sides, will also have a Minister present. The Meeting between these two will be somewhat awkward ; but the present state of affairs in Europe is singular and critical, and may naturally be, expected to give birth to very extraordinary measures. We have received the Paris Papers of Thurs day and Friday, Spanish Journals from the 10t1 to the 13th instant, and Hamhurgh Papers to the 22d instant. The accounts from :Petersburgh confirm the arrival of M. de TATISCHEFF in that capital, and mention that a Cabinet Council was instantly summoned, to deliberate on the despatches brought by him ; but the result was not known. It was the general belief at Peters burgh that the other European Powers would act in, concert with Russia -on the subject of the affairs of Turkey. The Ambassadors of England and Russia were observed to be remarkably active, and held frequent .conferences with Counts de NESSELRODE and CAPO d'ISTRIAS; and report Stated, that the Emperor ALEXANDER had been invited by the. Emperor FRANCIS to a new Congress, and that the Court of Vienna had proposed that England should act as a mediator between Russia and the Porte. Nevertheless the preparations for the departure of the Em peror ALEXANDER were actively carried on dur ing the whole of these conferences ; and private letters from the North assert that he actually set out for the head-quarters of his army at Minsk on' the 4th of May. The intelligence from all parts of Germany, except Vienna, is 'of a war like character; but unless war were deemed in- evitable, Austria we think, in the present state of her finances, would scarcely contract for a new loan of 35 millions of florins, which report says has just been concluded with the hOuse of :ROTHSCHILD. The accounts from Spain, both in the French and Spanish Papers, are of an alarming character, but there is no foundation in them for the re ports from Bayonne, which announce that an express had passed , through that, city on the 18th, on his way to Paris, with the news of a counter-revolution in Spain, and that Madrid was "in full insurrection." It is to be remarked, that the express from Madrid, which passed through Bayonne on the 18th, , ought to have arrived at Paris on the 21st at latest, and it is not very likely that not a word should be known at Paris of the •important news brought by him, or even of his arrival, until the evening of the 23d. Besides, the bankers and merchants of Paris are in the habit of receiving expresses constantly from Madrid, with intelligence likely to affect com mercial operations, yet they are said to be com pletely ignorant of so important an event, nor has the Spanish Ambassador received any advices on the subject. ( Extract of a Letter from Frankfort, dated May 18.) " The conflagrations begin to increase in Germany to a de gree really frightful. In Prussia the little town of Camurio; situated in the district of Marienwerder, became almost entire ly a prek - to the flames in the night of the Ist of this month. — Out of 231 houses, only 28 were preserved. In the night of the 12th May a tire broke out in the town of Blensheim : sia barrels of gunpowder, each of 50 lbs. weight, which were in 3 granary, blew up with a dreadful report, and covered the neigh bouring houses with the blazing ruins of that in which tbef were contained.—Fifteen dwelling-houses `were in a short time. bitnit to the ground : 80 lives were lost, and 60 were wounded more or less severely. On the 17th May another fire reduced to cinders a chateau, a church, a convent, and 220 houses in 3 town of the Tyrol. This disaster has spread terror through tle province." [Extract of a Letter from Art 7 York, May 1.1 " It appears from the statement of the National Intelligencer, that the rumour of the Empeior of Russia having decided the question in our favour, respecting the restoration of slaves taken by the British during the last war, is incorrect. Our last ac— counts from St. Petersburgh on that subject merely-stated thal the discussions had terminated, and that the proceedings ha' been laid before ALEXANDER fOr his final decision. Tara resolutions have been submitted to the .11ouse of Representc- - tives, instituting an inquiry as to the propriety of providing fo r the punishment of public defaulters, and also to establish sam e more effectual means to collect monies, which had not bee r ' properly accounted for by public agents, and to secure the Government from the dishonesty of their agents.—The Unit States Bank remitted two millions of dollars in the stock that institution to England for sale, upon the strength of which they are drawing Bills of Exchange at a premium of 12A Pe , cent."
