Timm we have ti note midzemed by the Greek
government to the representatives of Bavaria,
Sweden, Turkey, Prussia, mad Austria, and in
which M. London prays them to make known the
state adder to their respective governments. In
answer to this M. de d'lngelheim, charge d'effaires
of Austria, thus emirates himself: "I doubt not,
M. le ministre, that at Vienne, as in all civilised coun-
tries, the steps taken here by the English will be ap-
gtatied tne at their just value, and that the dignity and
which Greece opposes to them will but in-
crease the sympathy with which the Austrian govern-
ment already regards this country." We meat have
a letter addressed by M. Londe; to the ministers of
Francs and Russia, protesting spinet a circular of
the English consul (Mr. Green) warning his country-
men to see to the safety of their persons and property.
Another document inn/minces to M. Londos the pow
mnnication of the collective note addresed to the
ministers and chargfs d'affeires accredited to his Greek
Majesty, to Mr. T. Wyse, demanding that, in con-
formity with the principle of the rights of unties',
the minister of her Britannic Majesty should make
known to them whether the measures of Admiral
Parker against the Greek government are of a nature
to endanger the Greek population and those mingled
with them, as well u the English subjects warned by
Mr. Green. Then comes the following circular of
Mr. Green :

CIRCULAR BY NIL BRITANNIC MA/11/ITT'll CONSUL AT

ATRIUM, 351. 0151 N, TO His 001.1.11.01/118.
Sir,-1 am instructed by the Right Honourable Thomas
Wyse to inform my colleagues that the commander-in-akief
of her Majesty's naval forces, acting la obedience to the
instructions of her Britannic Majesty's government, and in
concert with her Britannic Majesty's representative, deems
it necessary to extend to the Greek merchant vessels ike pro-
hibition to put to sea, which, from an anxious desire not to
injure Greek commerce, has up to this moment bass limited
to vessels belonging to the Greek government. I have
thereon to announce to you, that henceforward the
commander-in-chief of her Britannic Majesty's naval forces
will not permit any Greek vessel to leave any Omit port,
tawny Greek mesels having been chartered previous to the
present communication to carry a serge or part of a cargo
belonging to foreign merchants will be allowed to put to
ma, an exception which cannot be applied to any Greek
vessel chartered by or far foreign merchants after the cow
municatioa of this notice. The above measure in no way
affects foreign vessels of any description, but is exclusively
confined to mewls under the Greek flog.
I have, &0.,
Athens, Jan. 24, 1850. J. GRIMM.
We have then the answer of the English minister
to toe collective note of the representatives of the
different powers. This answer is as follows :

On Irma her Thitannie Majesty's ship the Queen, in the
Bay of Salamis„ the 24th January, 1850.
The undersigned minister of her Britannic Majesty to
the King of Greece has received the 'communication which
his °Weaves have been so kind to address to him, dated yea-
day, and he hastens to assure the that they need not feel
any apprehension for the present as regards the security of
the penons and properties placed under their protectiqn
The reclamation of the government of her Majesty
is exclusively limited to the demands of reparation for out-
rages and injuries inflicted in Greece on British and lout in
subjects, and cannot have any connexion with the rights
and interests of foreigners. The undersigned is authorised
by the commander-in-chief of the naval forces of her Ma.
jssty to issue the diplomatist corps at Athens that whatever
measures ha may unfortunately be compelled to adopt, he
will use every possible effort to defend the Interests and per-
sons placed under their protection.

THE PENINSULA MAIL.
The Oriental Company's steam-packet Paella, Capt.
J. Weeks, arrived at Southampton last night, and
landed her mails under the charge of Lieut. W. P.
Newenham, RN., Admiralty agent.
Her dates are: Oibralter, Feb. Bth; Cadiz, 7th ;
Lisbon, 9th; Oporto, 10th ; Vigo, 11th. She brings
six package, of specie.
A stringent law against the press bad been
presented in the Chamber of Deputies. Some die-
graceful soenes had occurred in the Chamber of Peers.
Violent attacks had been made on Thomar in the
chambers, and equally severe remarks upon him had
been indulged in by the press. The government
have a majority. Saldenha had been dismissed from
his office. The Prince de Joinville had been enter-
tained with great distinction at the palace, and much
importance was attached to hie arrival in Portugal.
Ships are admitted to pratique at Gibraltar, but
ships thence to Cadiz have three days' quarantine.
The question of the Lady Rowley schooner, that
went ashore at Gibraltar, and which the Janus,
Lieutenant Powell, cut out of the Spanish grasp so
promptly, is not yet settled.
From the letter of our correspondent we extract the
following :
From reports made to the house by the minister of
finance, the revenue appears to be improving.
On the sth, 57,718,000 reis in Lisbon bank notes
were burnt, the number now in circulation being
2,942,288,800 reis.

. . .
It appears by the report sent by the committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the Oporto Custom-house, that
great frauds were committed in the wine trade by
shipping wines to ports out of Europe, to be brought
back again to the European market, by which not
only the revenue, but the fair trader, is greatly in-
jured.
On the bth a magnificent ball took place at the
mansion of the Marquis d'Abrantes, for the benefit of
the officers of the Convention of Evora 'Monte. It
was attended by all the beauty and fashion of the
Miguelite nobility and gentry and other?, as well as
by officers of the British fleet now in the Twos.
Ths Indefatigable frigate arrived a few days ago.
