THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MAY. 3, 1847.

according to some mounts intends ha withdraw with
his Wally to Andalusia. A fbrtber ministerial modi-
fication continues to be spoken of. It le expected
that the present cabinet will be thrown into a
minority by the circumstance of a portion of the
Progremiste party voting against them, with the
major part of the Moderadoe. A cabinet, with
General Minima% u President of the Council, and M.
Salamanca as Minister of Finance, was mentioned.
The lacteal cabinet desiring to manifest its disposition
to &demos distinguished men, without reference to
party, had announced the appointment of fifteen
senators from the Progreseistas. The king was again
seen in public on the promenade, and in the church of
Atoche, with the queen.

ATHENS, Aran. 20.
There is nothing new respecting the Grecian-
Turkish question. It is asserted that M. Coletti has
ordered the Greek chargé d'atfaires at Constantinople
to quit immediately for Athens. The greatest anxiety
exists here as to what will be the result of this °lieu-
nacy on the part of M. Coletti. The actual situation of
this country is dreadful in the extreme. The repre-
sentative government, established with the intent of
elevating general interests above private ones, only
serves, by combinations the most ruinous to the
country, to maintain M. Colctti in power. M. Pohl-
ropolo, although acquitted by a majority of the
senate, having thought fit to resign his office, and M.
Canaria having also done so, nothing but confusion
reigns in the chamber and the senate. M. Coletti is
straining every nerve to get his adherents up to
Athens. Independently, of the Greek steamer Othon,
he has availed himself of the kindness of M. Piacatory,
the French ambassador, to accept of the services of a
French steamer to go to Egina and Lenidi to
bring the deputies, Logiotatidi and Trouchlos,
to the Piraeus. This same steamer is now gone
to Gythion and Bantorin for the deputies,
Zanetoky and Deleada. To all his other acts must
be added one which is most infamous, and has been
productive of a great sensation in the country. M.
Clonaris, president of the Court of Caseation (Areo-
pagus), a man who has occupied the post ever since
the foundation of tribunals in Greece, has been
removed, and his place filled by M. Somaky, a cousin
of M. Coletti. The public liberties will lose a power-
ful supporter in M. Clonaris. Although endowed
with a moderate, independent character, a zealous
defender of the law, and the true interests of the
monarchy, in his functions as a legislator, as well as
in those of a magistrate ; yet ho could find no favour
before a system which is endeavouring, at any price,
to destroy all seeds of independence and legality.
The four new ministers have this moment been ap•
pointed; they are M. Balgari, Minister of Marine;
M. C. Coloeotroni, Minister of Justice; M. Glaraki,
Religion and Public Instruction ; and M. Corfiotaky,
Minister of Finances. M. Riga Palamidi was offered
the Portafcglio of the Minister of Interior, but he is
said to have refused it. Others again assert that
the refusal is only provisionally, during the time
he will continue to preside over the chamber,
which will be only for a few days. Greece
is, indeed, in an awful state. Individual liberty
under the administration of M. _ Coletti is but

a name. Crowds of citizens, under the most frivolous
pretexts, are arrested and thrown into prison, with
the view of keeping them away from the municipal
elections. But the evil does not atop here : we have
also the. horrible spectacle of the torture exercised by
the agents of the government in Messina and Achim.
The system of M. Coletti is calculated to inspire the
people with a distaste:for representative institutions.
He wishes to lead them on to a counter-revolution, but
he sees the inutility of his endeavours: he has
lost his majority in the chambers, notwithstanding all
the efforts of himself and his ministers. All who
are aware of the horror with which the eourts of Ger-
many look upon any constitutional state, cannot be
surprised to see them succour the efforts of M. Coletti ;
but what must astonish the world is to see the French
cabinet continue, with redoubled zeal, to lend its aid
to a system which openly tends to the destruction of
the constitution. The role which the cabinet of the
Tuileries is now playing in Greece, in declaring
itself in favour of absolutism against liberty, is in
manifest contradiction with the generous sentiments of
the French nation.

A French and an English squadron are at
anchor at the Erten& Another French line-
of-battle ship, L'lntlexible, arrived a few
days ago. Bngandage still continues in Western
Greece; the inhabitants are seized and plundered
with impunity. Many have been detained until
released by a heavy ransom. Government takes no
measures to put an end to it; on the contrary, an
officer, who began to take serious measures to punish
the brigands, was denounced, as an accomplice of the
brigands, by the government agents, and immediately
recalled.

E. Lyme and the sealer Aim of the squadron there.
Much apprehension is entertained here that if the differences
between Turkey and Greens are not SONS amicably settled,
the Arehipelago will be swarmed with Greek pirates,
vessels armed wider the pretence that it is necessary to be
prepared for hostilities, and will thus avail themseln s of their
power to plunder and rob. Freight, have risen to 14a.;
several vessels have been chartered, and many others will
be as soon as the meals from the Levant arrive here. Pro.
visions have increased from 20 to 60 per seat. This falls
heavily upon the labouring dames a indeed, essay of them in
the country ere in a starring condition. At Ooso the dis-
tress is extreme, and people are dying from hanger. Nearly
8001. have been collected here for the relief of the Irish and
I Scotch. A subscription is now going en for the relief of the
poor Maltese, who really need it also. The Turkish steam-
frigate Eregli arrived here on the 17th from Constantinople,
bringing his excellency, Raub Pasha, appointed governor of
Tripoli. He underwent quarantine and left for Tripoli on
the 20th. The long drought for three months had created
easier= amongst the farmers, that the corn crop would be
entirely ruined; but the genial rains of the 18th and 19th
have loomed their fears and done great freed to the fields.
The Berhiry coast, from Algeria to Tunis, is now in free
pratique with Malta: merchant vesseh can now avail them-
selves of the various ports for shelter or watering, without
the inconvenience and expense of quarantine on arriving at
Malta.

BRAZILS.—By the Swordfish, Capt. Green, which
arrived at Liverpool on Saturday, we have received advices
from Pernambuco to the 3rd inst. With the exception of
the commercial, the newspeaream but little interest. The
Rafael, which also arrived at Liverpool on Saturday, from
the same port, brought late accounts from Maranham. They
contain, however, no news of moment.
By Her Majesty's packet Penguin, arrived at
Falmouth on Friday evening, we have advises from Rio de
Janeiro to March 18th inclusive, hut those from the River
Plate, conveyed up to Rio by the Satellite, are not later than
the end of January. Ris imperial majesty proposed taking
a cruise to Santa, and might probably visit Bahia and Per-
nambuco, and return to the imperial capital by the latter
part of April or the early part of May, before the chambers
would convene. The approaching accouchement of the
emprcas would prevent her from accompanying the emperor
on his t-ur. Some persona believed that there was
a strong likelihood of a change of administration being at
hand, at all event. when the emperor returned. The Pen-
guin when coining oat of Rio de Janeiro met with the
Swift, following packet, going in ; the latter will return,
touching at the northern port.

BUENOS AYRES.—By the arrival of the Pen-
guin we have also received our files of the British Packet
from Buenos Ayres. Of lcial news had been received on the
16th of January of the re-capture of the town of Salto by the
Argentine form, under the command of General Servando
Gomez. The action lasted nearly a whole day. The loss of
the enemy in killed and wounded, and pra.ners, was very
great. Their commander, Colonel 'Blanco, was num-
bered among the slain. The remainder of the garrison-
-46 officers and 341 men in number—attempted to escape
down the river in the small craft lying in the port, but
were intercepted by the Eatrerian troops under the com-
mand of Colonel Urdinarrain, and all made prisoners.
Front Corrientes news had been received that a conspiracy
against the government had been discovered and the authors
punished. General Madariaga was understood to be dis-
posed to agree to the modification of the arrangement con-
cluded between him and General Urquiza, as required by
the general government; and this giving offence to a small
number of turbulent military, they attempted to overthrow
him. It appears that the Correntino government had re-
fused to allow the British barque Hollywood and French
brig Courtier de la Seine Inferieure to depart without express
order* from Gen. Roam,as they had failed to avail themselves
of the special permission granted immediately after the arrival
et Mr. Hood. General IJrquisa, on learning the advance of
Rivera upon Paysandu, ordered the divisions Logos and
Hidalgo to crow, over to lls Banda Orirntal, which appears
to have not a little disconoerted the plans of the rebel bandit.
It was understood that Rivera had written to Oes. Unitize
in a very imploring and hypocritical manner, and that the
letter returned him an answer osnosived in such terms se
were likely to out the correepasdence short.

PORTO RICO.—The b rig Treasurer, which arrived
at Liverpool on Saturday, has brought advice* from San
Juan, Porto Rico, to the 2nd inst. According to dim ac-
counts, it appears that the envie of that island was being
rapidly ship*, principally to the United States. English
shipping had become very scarce, and freights were as high
so 61 per ton. The sanguine expectations of the plantation
proprietors bad been considerably damped by the appearance
of the sugar crop. It was now doubtful whether the expor-
tation of next year would eve& equal that of 1846.
