The Court sill go into mourning on Tuesday next, for tiro
weeks, on occasion of the death of his Majesty the King of c:e
Two Sicilies.

- The official journal of St. Domingo, the Cowrie, Front.
pretends to use a wise restive on the part of President Boyer, in kg
omission of the most important document among 11l those wl..th
he has jtist published, the Royal Ordinance, which was commtri„
cated to Aleuts. Rouanez and Larose, by the Alinister of the ?la.
rine. Truly that is a strange reserve, which lays before the pu.,,c
the most insignilicant document*, even letters of no importance, std
omits precisely the very document which it would hare been the most
curious to know, that which caused the rupture of the negura.
tiors. ‘Vhat most be inferred from this is, and we have airtl7
said so, that this paper contained clauses favourable to the cc,...
niats—.favourable even to the present inhabitants of St. Doming:
and that it was adverse only to the pretensions of Coyer and of :be
Hayden Government. This is what Boyer did not wish the icta.
bitanta of Hayti to know.
The Journal der Debate has correspondents at Madrid and
Vienna, by whom it is equally deceived. How ccekl the one sod
it a long letter on pretended secret articles between France std
Spain, and the other write that the Emperor t f Austria had aura.
rised a Catholic community to become Protestant ? France std
Spain have no need of secret articles between them, and the Ea.
peror of Austria does not give such permissions.
Two journals, it is evident with what view, say to-day, that re
Minister is going to withdraw the two projects of law on the z.
demnity and the rentes, because the Chamber of Deputies disw-
proves of them.
It is remarkable, on the contrary, that the two Committees cep.
pointed to examine the two projects, announce in the Chamber the
perfect agreement with the Government which the King desired

A lamentable fatality appears to preside over the destinies of
Greece. Scarcely has a glorious campaign terminated--a cam-
paign most favourable to the arms of her brave warriors, than Owls
again distracted by internal dissensions. Colocotroni, that old enemy
to all regular government, is now in open revolt against the Central
Giverrunent established at Napoli de Romania. Ile has pistol
his aon at the head of a numerous body of the factions, and a tan.
guinary combat has taken place between the two parties under dm
walls of Tripulitza. It is true, that the troops of Colocotroni wow
defeated, and his son killed in the affair; but the event is not the
less unfortunate to the cause of the Greeks. The siege of Pattaa,
' which was near surrendering, was interrupted, and the Turks have
profited by the disorders which the civil war amongst their enemies
has brought in its train. In Epirus and Thessalia, the affairs of
the Greeks are in a more prosperous stnte. blavrosortlato rat
Ilmari have gained some decisive advantages; PO much
that at the date of the last advim from Arta, the troops of Otter
Vrione, which had been a long time unpaid, had abandored their
Chief.
The Greek Gazettes contain the official accounts of the action
with the Egyptian fleet, off Candice, on the 12th and 13th of Na-
vember last. On board some of the vessels of Ibrahim Pada
were a number of European officers, which the Satrap of Egypt
had taken into his pay. According to the last accounts, a divisim
of this flea, which had sailed for Suds, was again attacked by tact
Greeks, with the loss of several vessels. _

PAR IS, JAN. 16.
There exists. at the present moment, much obscurity concerning,
the diplomatic intrigues of which Lisbon is the teem. The English
journals, whose communication with that capital is rot so quick,
but more correct, titan ours, will not delay gis ing publicity to then
mancestvres, and which cannot fail to be defeated by being merle
known. It seems certain that Lisbon has been the theatre of a kind
of revolution ; that there has been a sanguinary struggle between
the partisans of the Queen and the supporters of the government cd
John IV. and that at the termination of these commotions the
King convoked the Cones. We do not yet know any details ef
the circumstances and nature of these events, but the rumour has
been circulated at Paris for several days past, and it acquired to
much credit today, that we cannot believe it to be destitute of
foundation. It is even said that Government has received positive

On Thursday last, the Royal Society resumed its sittings
after the Christmas holidays. A very interesting paper
was read by Captain hater, on a new collimeter, an instru-
ment fur ascertaining correctly the line of collination, or the
true level of a telescope, and which promises to be of pest
utility in practical astronomy. The Fellows heard with
pleasure, that the accounts of a failure of a practical appli-
cation of science, announced in sonic of the papers, was
without foundation ; and were informed by their President,
and by Fellows who had seen, or were acquainted with, the
state of the Samarang, that the results were of the mc,c
satisfactory kind. M. Thcnard's name was read as a
foreign mendNr of the Society ; and Mr. Bell and M.
Snort shy admitted as Fellow.%
Alderman ht Kenny, it seems, intends to be &candidate
for the City of Dublin, at the next diction.
Sir Abraham B. King has determined, from the flatter-

Mr. Plunkett means, early in the next Session of Parli,
went, to make a motion to place the nomination of Sheries
in other hands than those in which it is at present vesteJ.
This, in Corporate Cities and Boroughs, would be a mot
desirable object.
CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.—The part taken by
the I.toile sad come Papers devoted to the Jesuits, as to
the affairs of the Catholic Association, have not, it is
said, escaped tile observation of the English Government.
We unik.rstand that some valuable information has bete
obtainer! in France by setcral Members of Parliament, AO
that documents of the highest importance, seized in heirs%
will tic Lid before the two Houses when the Catholic
Question shall be again diseussed.—Courrier Fraicau.
