LONDON, MONDAY, M•Y 15, 11424.

a We have received French Papers of the I2:h, and the
E of itie iNth instant. Cieinlst ai k, who.
is extremely favourable to the Greek cause, has arrived in
Paris on a mission fromitussia, with the view it is supposed
of communicating with Sir F. Anew, who also reached
Perla on the llth instant. The latter is said to have con-
firmed the reports of the continued resistance of Nlisso-
loirghi, and of the arrival of MIAC us. IVe give the fol-
lowing extract from the I. toile, without comment:— •
(From the Eioik, dated Saturday, May 131
Cotaru, APRIL 11.

We have the following amounts from Napoli di Romania:—

`• It is probable that the convocation of the National Assembly
of Greece will take pl.n:e neat week, at Epidaurus. Several Moriot
Chiefs, among whom is Pietro Bey, have already arrived. It
stems that the Deputies of Eastern Greece are inclined to a Mo.
narehy, and that they desire to ask the Great Powers of Chriattn.
dom for a King. The instructions given by the inhahnantsof
Salons, I.ivadia. Thebes, and of other places, say chit Greece
must have a Monarch. 'lf you act otherwise,' they said to the
Deputise, •do not show yourselves again among us.' Ciours, on
the other hand, swears that he would /other submit to the Turks
than endure any longer the yoke of the Oligarchs of the Mores.
•• Till the King whom the Greeks ask tor shall be given them,
the Proviaiooal Government is to maintain the war by all the
means in its power. It seems that it is proposed to make the fol.
lowing modifications in the actual fonn of the general adminis-
tration :

six Directors and a President shall he placed at the head of
the I i ,vernment.

" of the three great divitions of Greece (the Continent, the
SIOTea, and tha islands) shall name two director..
`"rhe Preaident shall belong to none of the three divisions, to
prevent all partiality, and alto that it may be more easy to remove
him.

it seems that Ptinee Ypsilanti will be elected President. Ile
is preferred to Maerornrilsto, who is ilvested by the Komeliwis,
who saute him -et having sold Greeee to the English, and of
having fermented divi,ior.s. The Esptains also have a grew dis.
like to him.
•' It is added that the uumbez of Deputies assembled at Epl,

daunts will betrom 30 to 30. That of OA Ministers will be Ti.
doted by unl in; the war department with the rwarine, and
the interior with the police. Tne 3linistei for the affairs et
poblie worship will be replaced by a Synod of flishopa. The
lian..ces *ill be entrusted tot Commission of three 3lenibers.

'• Now loons will be made; the regular troops will be eng-
ineered, and,rneans will be thought of to hare ships of war belong-

At a late hour last night we received Ilainburgh and
Dutch Papers, by which we learn that the Grand Duke
COWSTANTINE his been appointed Generalissimo of all the
Russian and Polish armies. It appears by a report of the
Russian Minister of Justice to a Ministerial Committee,
that sixteen governments had neglected tocarry into effect
no less than 2749 ukases, addressed to them by the direct-
ing Senate, since the year 1822. The committee imme-
diately ordered the disobedient governments to be severely
reprimanded, and enjoined to put the neglected decrees
into execution, within the space of a year; but, upon this
being submitted to the Emperor for his approbation, he
altered the period to three months, informing, at the same
tinstObesGovernor of Kurok, to whose share 660 out of the
2741 ofihese unnoticed ukases had fallen, that if he should
be guiky of any future irregularity, be should be subjected
to a criminal prosecution. _

The following extract of a fetter, dried Canes, March 7, has been
received here :

WA been to cooler with Russo, chief of the Sphakiotes, and othet
Greek Captains, on the means of destrgying the bands of incur.
gents; they have promised to do every thing to accomplish his
object. Mustapha Rey received the chichi with kindness, as well
to gain their attachment as to shew to the Greek-nation how much he
;s disposed to treat it with humanity. He has allowed Russo to
come to Canes with 7 or 8 Spnakiote captains, armed and riding on
Mules. The inhabitants of this city witnessed this strange sight on
the flst. -They murmured that such a favour wu granted to

Papers, May 4.

At length the termination of hostilities with the Bur-
mese monarch is no longer doubtful. General Bowies
has arrived in the Mellish, with despatches for the East
India Company, announcing that plosing event from
Brigadier.tenerat WILLOUGHBY CoiroN, and dated Pa-
, tanaguh (on the advance to Ummerapuora), the Ist. of Ja-
nuary. By this treaty the Burmese empire is not only
virtually, but actually, dismembered. Almost the whole
line of coast of the Burman empire has been ceded to the
East India Company in perpetuity. Included, in this are
the four provinces constituting the kingdom of Arracan,
and the provinces of Mergul, Tavoy, and Zee; while the
kingdoms of Assam, Catcher, &ening, and Munnipoor, or
Cassay,
.are to be in future governed by princes to be
named by the East India Compare The go/denTireted
monarch pays to the Rut India Cin4any, as we stated
some time ago, a crepee of rupees, to defray the expenses of
the war, which we doubt it will hypo means cover. Never-
41seless we have received strong securit?tor the **cure, if net
full security for the
_pa?. . NW has had
her interest. attended-m' .'neWsdecl in the treaty, no'
doubt securing her complete independence. Thus Burmah
proper, Ava, and Pegu, seem all that are loft to the Mo-
narch of the White Elvhant. The treaty was signed on
the 3d of January, and was expected to be ratified by the
King of Ava on the 15th of the same month. Thus ins
this war terminated, after a great destruction of life among
our troops, but far more by disease than in the field; acd
thus will be opened new and fruitful channels for British
science and enterprize.

In Portugal the cordon sanitlire (as it is called) of the
province of Alentejo, continues to be maintained, and re-
ceives occasionally fresh reinforcements from different quar-
ters. Its object is said to bt• connected with the prolonged
occupation of Spain by the French ; a subject which is likely
aeon to give.rise to discussions of considerable difficulty, as
the French insist on the payment of the debt due to them
by Spain before withdrawing their army. The English
Ministry has transmitted memorials to the Court of Spain
in consequence, ,advising the recogniticin of the inde-
pendence of South America, and the payment of the
French Loan.

We mentioned, so for back as the Ist instant, that the
Deputation from Lisbon to the Brasile* delayed sailing,
in consequence, it was believed, of despatches from Lon-
don. Our information is now confirmed by priiatelettera from
Lisbon of the .26th ult. It is added that" the Chiefs of the
Deputation, the Duke de Layouts, and the Grand Vicar
of LISBON, wished to rusign, but the Regency refused its
consent. On the 2lth of April, a placard was seized by the
police at LisLo 1, containing expressions which indicated the
increasing popularity of the Patrician, REGENT in opposi-
tion to her brothers PEntto anti MIGEEE. An informer

The Oracle of Brussels of the rib May, contains a letter
from Madrid, dated 2'ld April, in which it is asserted that
FERDINAND is negociating with the King of SAXONY, in
order to obtain two re-gitnents of infantry from him.

The present weather appears like to throw back the
harvest to a later period than usual, which will, of course,
tend to press heavily on the consumption of the old stock of
wheat, and thus to raise the prices till the new can
brought into the market. The prospect of such a result
could not fail to let loose the spirit of speculation among
the dealers, which strikingly exemplifies. the policy
of the Bill now in its progress through the House. There
is no appearance at present that the harvest will he defi-
cient in quantity; but if, as the vason advances, the
weather should continue unfavourable, Ministers will have,
well entitled themselves to the thanki of the country, for
having, by anticipation, provided a aelief by importation,
in the event of such an emergency.; 1•!t may be that re-
leasing theivantity of corn in bond maw furnish an ade-
quate supply, and that no aid from importation may he
required, but they will still have done wisely in not trusting
to accidents. A considerable advanciin the price of wheat,
pending thediasolution of' Parliament, is what, at a crisis like
the present, no wise Statesman would wantonly hazard. The
improvingdemand for our manufactures affords every reason
to hope that the present distn sa wikl shortly subside, and
quirt and prosperity return, and that the amount of relief
so generously contributed will enable the auCirers to 'bear
up against their privations until tbey shall be restored to
employment ; but notch praise, in the mean time,
to the firmness as well as to the foreca.s of Goveninient, wee
ought we to omit doing justice to many of ►he let:lda&

CITY, SATURDAY EVENIXO.

The English Money Ma►ket was in an inactive Witt' duri• g the
whole of the day. Comeds for Money and Account opened at 784
and remained steady at this price until the middle of the clay, when
they sunk to 714, and left off at 78i, Fullers. So little was doing,
that the balance of the account cannot as yet be ascertained. A
large amount of options would came into operation in theserer. it of
a rise or fall of 4 per cent., no that there is a strong patty who
are deeply interested in promoting fluctuation. The continuation,
an the July account, is a shade less than yesterday. Consols for
Account, which were at 784 in the morning, before the close of
bissineas touched 7q.
Three per Cent. Console, and the New Pour per Cents., will
shut on the Hrst of neat month, preparatory to the payment of the
dividends. and will open on the Itithot July, which is the settling
derv. India Stock will close on the 2d of June.

Speculation has been transferred from the English to the Foreign
Market today; and in the latter there has been much briekneia in
most of the South American Securities, particularly towards the
close of business; the only °Mimi+ reason for the advance
in the prices is lITP expectation entertained of the speedy arrival
of the Pyramus frig ite from Mexico • but according to the latest
advice% trout thence. even eupetisiog thei wind to have been favour.
able, she will not, mall probability, arrive in this country for a
week or a fortnight. Those who are interested in forcing up
the prices of Republican Stock, as well as the Shares, continue
to amen positively that the Pyramus will bring over several mil-
lions of dollars. The improvement in Colombian Honda has been
from 421 to 4.3 i, but Mexican are not more than 1 per cent. higher
than yesterday, and up to 4 o'clock there was no reaction on these
quotations. Peruvian are nominally the same as yesterday, aid
the only specula:ion in time bargains are in the two former Se-
curities. It is currently stated, that the account in them. to be
settled on the 17th instant, is a Rear Account. In the Foreign
Market, although Republican Stock fines not fetch more than
one Italian much as it was sold at last yeur, there still exists a
strong bias among the dealers to sell. Dael•th Bonds have been
sold at 64i and Mi. and Russian at pi}, which is only a shade
higher than the quotations of ••••stertlay.

India Board. May 13, IN2f►
A despatch, dated the 11th of January, 111211. has been this day
received at the Kan India House from the Secretary to the Govern-
ment at Fort St. George. enclosing a copy of & despatch from
Brigadier-General Willoughby Cotton to that Guvcrntiicnt, of
which the following is an extract : •
Patanngoh..lan. 1, 1C26.
I have the honour to acquaint you. for the information of the
Honourable the Governor in Council, that the pursuit of the scat.
tered columns of the enemy wee continued from 31eaday to Pate-
eagnh, by forted marches, by the ,Madras division, accompanied
by the body tau ad and a troop of horse artillery, and the Corn.
mender of the Forces. Oa reaching Neaungla, five mile. below
this place, we ascertained the enemy had cringed their whole twee
to the right bank of the river, and that they occupied the position
of Mallonn, consisting of a series of strong fortified heights and a
formidable stockade, with front ten to twelve thousand men. It
was also ascertained that the King's hrnther.in.law, and most at
the men of rank who had assisted at Zzaliengaish, were at Mal-
loon. They despatched a woondoole on the dit:h, with a flag of
truce and a letter, stating it to he the wish of their Chiefs to put ■
period to hostilities, and that a Minister had arrived from Ava, with
full powers touter and ratify, and requesting a meeting for that put.
ports. Lieut.-Col. Tidy and Lieut. Smith, of the navy. were accord-
ingly despatched to arrange a conference. to be held in a boat on
the centre of the river. mooted between Mattoon and Patanagob.
Accordingly the•Conrmander of the Forces and the Second Con.
missioner, Mr. Bober:eon, attended by myself and most of the Bei-
gediers, met the two Burnley! Commissioners, Kellen Alenjee
and the Kee Wooniee, on the 30th ult. t and I arts moat happy to
elate that the result el the conferences of that day and yesterday
has been a satisfactory adjustment, as far as regards territory and
money, between the British and Burmese nations. The rarification
by the Commissioners of the treaty takes place Chia day at two
o'cliek. and the term. of peace are as follow:
" The four provinces of Arracan to be ceded In perpetuity to
the Honourable Company.
•` Tire provinces of 31ergiti, Tavoy, and Zea, to be ceded to the
Honourable Company in perpetuity.
" The Burmese Govreninent engage to pay the Honourable
Company one crore of rupees, by instalments, the periods for the
payment of which to be settled this day.
1 he provinces or kingdoms of Assam. Cachar, 'Leaping. and
31untipore, to be placed under Princes, to be named by the British
Government.

'• Rtaidtnts, with an escort of fifty men, co be at each Court.
Britiali ships to be admitted into Burmese ports, to bud their
&vire. free of duty ; not to utrihip their rudders or Wad theft
aunts Burmese ships m have the same privileges in Hefei& ports.
No Renton. to be molested toe their opinions or conduct dieting the
tear hereafter.

" The Siamese nation to be included in the peace."
. Thus, I hope, has terminated a war which has been coost ex-
pensive in its prosecution, not only iu money hut also by the ef-
fects of climate, very destructive to both European and native
troops. But -I hope the Bonourable the Governor in Council will
here .permit me to express the unanimous grateful feeling of the
11adras army for the considerate comforts the. 3ladras Government
have. upon every occasion, forwarded to their army here, comforts
which have been the means of saving. many valuable lives,
and which will be ever moat gratefully acknowledged by every
officer n,(.1 man.
It mill. of retiree, take a long period to arrange the move of
the troopstram hence to Rangoon, with the tuateriel and stores.
The tatiticat'on of the treaty by the King of Aye, and the Eng-
lish pr contra now at Amarapoorah, are to arrive at Patanagoh in
15 days (lath January), on the receipt of.which we shall Mane-
direly retrograde to Prome. The roads .across the Andean
Mountains prcsent difficulties which will oblige the Bengal army to
retirebyitaneoon.

P.S. January 3.—Owing to prolonged discussions, the treaty was
not signed until this day (Jan. 3), at 1 p.m.
