TRIPOLITZA, FCII. 24.

The remainder of the Society of the Hiteristes, Will; had contri-
buted by the false direction they wished to give to affairs, to delay
the public organisation, has lately been entirely annihilated. In
,he prinaitiae establishment of the Provisional Government of
Greece, t::is society had been solemnly abolished ; but shortly after,
some of its members availed themselves of a favourable opportu-
nity of joining some disaffected, headed by Theodore Negria. With
this reinforcement, they had won over to their party sonic distin-
guished Military lihiefs, and tinder pretence that the torus of a
civil government were unbecoming during a war, upon which de-
pended the regeneration of the nation, or its entire annihilation,
they required for the Government of Grace modifications tending
to make of it a Government quite military. The Senate contented
itself with opposing to this party a calm, though unshaken firm-
netts; but the latter, mistaking this moderation for weakness, be-
came more daring, and having recourse to all possible means, they
stocecded in bribing three Members of the Executive; and elevated
by this ephemeral success, they thought that they could depend
upon the Military Chiefs to rule the Senate, and wrest from him the
modifications they wished for.
The Supreme Power then displayed all its strength, and in vir-
tue of the 50. h Article of the Corstitutio, tornied out of its own
Members a Committee woo indicted Peter Marronnehale, Andre
Metaxas, and lair.Cliarahunpis, all three 31embers of time Exe-
cutive CounciL The Executive Council was then dissolved, and
lianmediately recomposed by the Senate. The Members appointed
to the New Council are—Wants Conduriotis of Hydra, Presi-
; Botassis„ of Swazis' Vice-Prerideot ; Jean Weds, of
Emma, and Nicolos Londos, of Peloponnesus.
This energetic as well as legal measure proved that the Senate
was conscious of its real strength, which it holds front the nation
it represents, and confounded certain malevolent strangers, who,
...rand the moderation of the Government into weakness. Co..
locotrosi, Met t is, Phleasse, and the other t.iilitary chiefs upon whom
the disaffected thought they could depend, were the first to eompli-
inent Govemment for its resolute behaviour, and the appointment
of another Executive Council capable of re-est.blishing harmony.'
Since the restoration of tranquillity the attention of Government
has been particularly directed to the dispositions relating to the
next campaign. One of its first pit.ceedings was the enacting of a
law for the levying of taxes in the islands of the Archipelago. It
contains many important ameliorations, founded on the experience
of the three last years, and it is hoped that the income of the Archi-
pelago alone will suffice for the equipment of the Beet-

understand tit:Le the amount of the Loan is 3,000,0001. and
that the contract price is t'9. It has been reported that it
was 90. Tl.ere was some speculation in the Scrip on Sa-
tutday, in anticipation of the contract. At one hour it rose
to It premium, but, at the close of businetts at the Foreign

A letter from Trieste of the 23d ult. received by a com-
mercial house in the city, mentions the receipt of advises
of the 11th ult. from Corfu, which state that the govern-
mlnt there had laid an embargo on all British and lonian
vessels, in consequence of an Algerine squadron havit
,; ap-
peared in those seas.

of the Interior and of Justice, appointing thereto Senor

pensions of one thousand six hundred milret s each. The
law of the II th June, 1821, abolishing the taxes on pro-
visions for the court and city of Lisbon, has been extended
to every part of the kingi:om.
Letters from Amsterdam state that the new Trading
Company established there with the sanction of Govern-

-1 lists of all tl'e leading cities of Europe have written for
shares. The bidding, were to be made this day.

honeurs to the generals of the French army in Spain, the
bravery and discipline of which, tays the Mona/tam, has
