we feel somewhat disappointed at the silence of
these Papers upon this point. In an article of in-
telligence from Vienna, our readers will find smile
interesting information respecting the progress made
by the Greeks in achieving the work of their Mete-
pendence. The most important fact is, that the
Greek nation is engitgetl in the formation of • ge-
neral Government, to be exercised by a Sena:c,
constituted of Deputies from the various districts
of the peninsula and from the islands. Leuritari, a
small torso nearlt• in the etlitte of the Morris, is
chosen for the seat of this Government. 'flier.

power of tl.e Turks is perfectly established.

A Lisbon Mail has arrived, with Papers to the
12th iihitant. The following are extracts :

In the sitting of the Cortes on the 7th, the Go.
remittent sent to the Cortes a variety of dispatches
from the Provisional Junta at Bahia, giving an ac•
count of the- late occurrences at Brazil. The first
dispatch states, that the brig Treze de Al (IL), which
left Rio Janeiro en the )0111 of June, had just
anchored at Bahia, hawing on board the Count
d'Arcos as • prisoner, in consequence of the glo-
rious and memorable events which had taken place
at Rio on the rh, when the cause of reason and
justice triumphed for the second time over the ma-
chinations of a hideous disposition, which sought
to disunite the Portuguese of the Two Hemis-
pheres. Many members of the Junta having re-
ceived letters from persons of the highest probity,
they rend the substance to the Cortes, recommend.
ivethe sitieteat vigilance over the person of the
Count, who is considered at the head of the most
execrable conspiracy against the common interest of
the nation and the King.

Another divide!' contains the notification made
to the Junta of Bahia by the Secretary of State at
Rio Janeiro. announcing the installation .of the
Government of the Prince Regent, and the answe►
of the Junta declining to be under any Government
whatever except directly under that of the King
himself. TheJuotn thought that the reasons assign.
ed its their answer will fully justifi them for refus.
ing any political subordination to the pro►ince of
Rio de Janeiro.

The Correa highly approved the sentence of the
Junta of Bahia.

In the sitting of the 9th, the Secretary Tel-
gueiros stated the receipt of a letter from the
ALoi•ter of the Marine, announcing the arrival of

might be unloaded, and presented among several
papers arrived from Rio, an original letter from
the Prittee Royal to the King, which his Majesty
sent to the Cortes, desiring to have it returned ;
a petition from J. Jac Souza Lobate), on which
his Majesty thought the Cortes should decide; and
lastly, lie asked, what was to be done with the
Conde d'Areos, who was not aseutioned in the
letter to the King

Elio Royal Iliglinees's letter was then read, giving
nn account of the revolution of the 3th, which was
attributed to the insubordination of some officers,
who were named ou the occasion, of swearing to
the bases of the Constitution. The letter
wens, that the bases were sworn to, and a
Provisional Junta chosen by the people. His
Royal Highness said, that it was always his wish to
maintain the constitutional system of the Cortet. of
Portugal, us was evident by the measures he had
taken before the sth. lie concluded by desiring
the letter to be presented to the Cortese

All the papers being tend were delivered to the
Committee of the Constitution to be reported the
ist.xt day.
