then to road to Sues, where he was expected to
embark on the 10th on board the steamer Moosuffer
for India.

Accounts from Malta, the 14th inst., state that in-
formation had beea received the previous night, by
her Majesty's steamer Flamer, of an insurrection which
had broken out at Patras, and was general throughout
Greece. The Governor of Patras had been made pri-
soner, and the garrison, too weak to resist the
numbers of the people, had been obliged to seek
shelter in the fortresses, where supplies of food could
scarcely reach them.
In a skirmish with the insurrectionists and the
military, five of the latter lost their lives.
The Flamer, on reaching Zante, sent the Spitfire
steamer to Patras, to render all the assistance in her
power to the English residents there.

We understand that the money-order department of
the United Kingdom in the General Post-office has
been placed under the direction of Mr. Rowland Hill,
with a view to its improvement and extermion.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We base our foreign express, with Paris letters and
papers of yesterday (Monday).
The semi-oificial journal of the Tuileries pot forth a
programme of the proceedings of the Chamber of
Deputies.
The first struggle of the opposition against the go-
vernment will take place on the 29th or 30th, on the
election of the president and four vice-presidents. On
the present occasion, M. Sauzet's re-election will, as we
have already stated, be supported by the government,
who, if the Journal des Debats speaks seriously, will
resign if any other be elected. The opposition can-
didates are not yet announced.
It is announced that on the opening of the busi-
ness of the session the ministers intend to bring in
three important projects of law. The first will con-
riot of a limited postal reform; the second of a re-
duction of the tax on salt; and the third of a pension
of 6,0001. sterling to be granted to the Prince Jerome
Bounaparte, ex-King of Westphalia, now resident in
France. _

We are informed, by an authority on which we are
accustomed to rely, that the friends of the cabinet
have had several conferences, and the communica-
tions have been made with the conservative party
generally in the Chamber, the results of ‘t hich have
been, that M. Guizot has found himself under the
necessity of relinquishing all idea of interfering in
any manner in the affairs of the Swiss confederacy,
in return for which concession the party are to waive
other differences, and the minister is to have such
support as will give him a working majority of about
sixty.
Lord Normasby arrived in Paris on Sunday.

TRIPOLI, DEc. 1.

- ---
The Arabs of this country are in revolt. At
Gherran and at Gebel, they rose en maase against the Turks,
and killed the governor of Gabel, Abated Effendi, and above
a hundred of his people. They rose against hint on accoun
of the tyranny exercised by him. During the period of
thirteen Tears that he has bees governor he has done no.
but plunder the people, take away their children, and
massacre the men. Those families who, in the time of
Garamanli, the former governor, paid twenty dollars annual
tribute to the Turks, are now compelled to pay one hundred
dollars. TM?, is the reason why the people of Bengity, to
the number of 30,000, fled to Egypt and Bmsrna.8m5rna. More
then 40,000 have tied from Tripoli WO the regency of
Tunis. Thole actually in Tripoli are living a life of misery.
The war schooser Elijah Cattera, has sailed for Malta, with
despatches for the Sultan, in which the governor requested
the Sultan to send immediately Ave or six thousand troops,
to exterminate the rebels. The Maltese residing here, and
the natives, had • quarrel the other day, and some got
wounded on both sides. Mr. Rude, the English Vice-
Consul, went among them to restore order, and was wounded
in the head for his pains.

BELGIUM.—BRURSILB, DEC. 19.—APPROACH-
IMO CTLAXOII lr TIIS BILOIAN MINISTIIIr.—It is said that,
as soon as the budget of ways and means shall have been dia.
cussed, several changes will take place in the ministry. M.
Veydt will retire, and be succeeded by M. Frere, who will
be replaced in the public works by M. Rousselle. M. Veydt
will be appointed governor of Antwerp, while M. Teish-
mann, the present go,,ernor, will be offered East Flanders.
The retirement of M. Veydt is said to be occasioned by the
difficulty often felt by that gentleman to decide on questions
as minister which interest him as representative.
