LONDON, Tr:Esi) IY, Arlin 4, 1844.

A long discussion took place in the French Chamber of
Dtputies on Friday about written steo he.. This seems to
l•e a grand constitutional question with our neighbours.
Might they not introduce a prompter under the tribune,
a:ld thus reconcile the two parties?
The following are extracts from the Eta,. of Sunday :-•••
PART', APRIL I.

On the lfith March the Holy Father held et the Vatican. a pub.

re:risr•l the hat with the customary ceremnny.
A letter from Vienna, dated `larch 23, states as follows :

c)..4iaillighness the Archduke l'erdinand D'Este. re.
tdmed yesterday from St. Petersbiirgh, and went at live o'clock in
Ire afternoon to pay his homage to the Emperor, by whom he was
r.cst graciously received.
" The Archduke has received from his Majesty the Emperor Ni.
cholas, s service in crystal and other precious thing.. His Maitre
d'ffotel, Count Dufour', has been deccosted with the Order of St.
Ann, in brilliants. Our beloved Monarch has already reconi.

appetite is excellent."
The reports circulated at Madrid about the designs of the Spa-
nish Government in assembling troops en the Mmuguese frontier,
are repeated in our last accounts, but we continue as sceptical 00
the subject as ever.

This capital has not fora moment ceased to enjoy the most per.
feet tranquillity. All accounts which we have received trout the
interior ague in stating that when the death of the. King was made
known, this inevitable event. but which, front the age of the King,
it wto hoped might be long distant. had caused the greatest bailie-
Von. The same tranquillity which parades the capital is general
thtoughout the kingdom.

taken possession of the Vice-Royalty of Navarre.
Letters from Bilboa say that the inhabitant• of the province of
Discoy have taken arms en masc, to repair to the coast on the first
no:!oe of a landing.

The letters from Corfu continue to give further patticu-

Isis of Iriaanin's defeat on the '23 March. It is be-
lies ed that FAllelEli and Coultas made the intended
attack on his rear, while he was engaged by the gar-
rtion in front ; and this is renderer'. probable by the
fact of his retreat on Aspro Potamos, for it cannot be
supposed that the garrison alone compelled him to retreat
iu the open field. It was said that he hail retreated to
Patna.; but this is doubtful. It will be recollected that
It LDSCHII) PACIIA was despatched to oppose the attempts
of Colonel FAIIVIER from the side of Attica. If the lat-
ter officer was present at the defeat of Ira iiim, be must
base eluded lienscitin's troops, and must constituently
have cut off these troops from the rest of lIIRAIIINeN
force. The detachment would thus have been completely
compromised between the forces of Covii.es,
and COLOCOTRONI, as the latter is likely soon to be left
reoccupied by the capture of Tripolizza. An expe-
dition of 1200 men is also about to he despatched to
Nerropont. Under all these circumstances, 1B It AIIIMInUst
have found it necessary to (All back, in order to effect
a junction with REIM HID PACIIA, MOMS he wished to
abandon his ally to his fate; and this was probably the
cause of his retreat towards Lepanto. Private letters from
Trieste state that Ismail n, after his rerulse at Missolon-
gin, was suddenly attacked while retreating towards Kilo-
ue.o and Lepanto by a body of 3,000 lirecks, (probably
tAmirir s corps) which was coming to relieve the town.
The surprise which their appearance occasioned enabled
them to cut off* his retreat along the coast, and to compel
him to take the direction of Aspro Potamos, where lie re-
mains at present without any communication with his fleet
or with Patras. It is needless to observe that such a situ-
ation is the most hazardous imaginable. The CAPITA N
PA, II A, it appears, could not co-operate in the attack of
having been previously recalled.

Another letter from Trieste states that the Greek Depu-
ties who had assembled at Megara, hail determined to en.
trust the Provisional Government to three members, and it
was expected that MI AVl.lf, COLOCOTRONt, and NOToa
lDorzays, would be nominated for that purpose.
An event is alluded to in the letters front Corfu, which
becomes of importance, because it shows that the English
bald er is becoming every day more favourable to the
t;ceeks. Several English vessels freighted with storm
for 1I RAH IN have been captured by the Greeks; and the
Laglisn authorities in the lonian islands have refused to
interfere to obtain a restitution.
