LONDON. SATURDAY, Arm 23, MS.

Last night we received the Paris Morning Papers of
Wedne3day. The proceedings in the Chatnber of Depu-
ties on the preceding day were without interest to the
English reader. The Moaileur states, that on Monday
evening M. Di ViLt,aLs gave an
,evening party, at which

Prince METTERNICH was present. The Prince was to

have left Paris on Tuesday, but his departure was post-
, poned fir Wednesday. The Echo dat Midi announces that
the Prince DE liotteNt.ona will be raised to the dig-
nity of a Marshal of Prance, on the occasion of the
Coronation.
By the accounts from Zante, in the Constitutionnel, it
appears that the disembarkation of Egyptian troops in the
vicinity of Motion and Coron was the consequence of
a storm, by which the fleet of lßs.tHzM Paco• was
dispersed. A corps of Peloponnesians attacked the invo-
It luntary invaders, and destroyed them. The Turkish gar.
t' risons refused to admit the fugitives into the fortresses, lest
the addition of their numbers should compel them to sur-
render at an earlier period for want of food. The division

of the Egyptian fleet from which there wretched men were
landed, was blockaded by the Greeks in a bay between
.Modon and Neocastron. The fall of Patras is hourly ex-
pected. _ _

Neither the Dull:, nor any other Evening Paper, was
received by the express last night; nor the Course of
Exchange.

Several persons belonging to the Legations at the Court of
Vienna have already arrived here, having been sent by their respec-
tive Ambassadors to prepare lodgings for them, as they will soon
arrive. Count Langrange, Secretary to the French Legation,
arrived on the Ist, with some persons of the Ambassador's suite.
The Ambassador is expected about the end of April from Paris,
where he now is. Soon after him arrivtil a Russian Secretary of
Legation, who expects his Ambassador, General Tatischeif, about
the end of April. Preparations are also making for the reception
of the Ambassadors of Prussia, Spam, and Denmark. Nothing
certain is known respecting the arrival of the Brio. •h Ambassador,
Sir H. Wellesley. It is said that his coming to Milan depends on
the result of the negociations carrying on at London between
Prince Estcrhasy and Mr. Canning.

The preparations already made show that we shall soon sze
several foreign Sovereigns in our Mills. We also expect at Milan
an Extraordinary Ambassador from the King of Spain to the Em.
peror of Austria.

ZAATE. MARCH 15.
Ibrahim Pacha, who sailed at the end of February with his whole
beet, for Candia, was overtaken by a tempest, which dispersed his
vessels, so that only twenty reached Alexandria; tbe majority were
driven on the coasts of Asia and Africa ; and thirty, carried by the
winds tow ads the Illorea,landed 3,000 Egyptians on the coast of
Modon and Coron ; but a corps of Peloponnesian •coops, chiefly
Arcadians, attacked them before they had time to form. All
perished in this action ; the Turkish garrisons of Coron and 3lodon
refusing to admit the fugitives into the fortresses, for fear of adding
to the distress which begins to be felt there for want of provisions.
Oa the other hand, forty Greek vessels arrived in time to cut off the
Egyptian division from the eel, and to block it up in a bay between
Modon and Neoeastron. Conduriotti, the President, commands in
person the troops besieging Patna ; they are estimated at 10,000 or
13,000 men. A corps of Peloponnesians, destined far Eubcea, com-
menced their march in February. It is generally thought that the
fate of that important island will be soon decided.
Coloeotroni has been lathy removed to the Convent of St. Elias,
on one of the steepest rock* of H ydra. The proceedings pr. pa.-atory
to his trial and that of the other rebtls are continued.

We learn with much satisfaction that Bombay Gazettes
! to the 15th December have reached this country, by tl.e
t Catherine Stewart Forbes, announcing that the fort of
Kittoor, in the province of Bejapoor, in the recast, sur-
rendered to our troops on the sth December, and that
Messrs. Brevet:sow and ELLIOTT. who had been de-
• tained in the fort, and for whose safety serious apprehen-
sions have been entertained, were given up, but not till
*fter our guns had opened upon the fort for some consi-
derable time; it is said that they bad been very kindly
treated. The capture of the fort was effected with the
trifling loss on our side of six Europeans killed. Of the
enemy, many hundreds are said to have been killed and
wounded. The treasure found in the fort is stated at
13 lacs in geld and silver, and five lacs in jewels.—
No official account, we believe, has yet been received.

The Bill for regulating the Elective Franchise in Ireland
was brought in last night and read a first time. The
second reading will take place on Monday evening, unless
the Catholic Relief Bill should interfere with that arrange-
ment. Some difference of opinion, we regret to observe,
exists with respect to the Disfranchisement of the Irish
Forty Shilling Freeholders, in quarters from which no op-
position to so salutary and desirable a measure could have
been expected. That the present system of making Free-
holders for electioneering purposes is fraught with evils of
the worst description, is an admitted fact. What argument
is advanced to justify its continuance? Literally none;
but we are protn'seil many hereafter. We must wait till
they are brought forward ; for at present we are utterly
unable to conceive how it can be maintained that a system
so ruinous to the morals and welfare of the country can
for a single moment be vindicated.

An intelligent article on the subject of unitary laws will
be found in a subsequent column : it illustrates, on a large
seal; the terrible selfishness resulting from the dread of
contagion. We recommend the facts stated in our Corres-
pondent's article to the serious attention of the Members of
Parliament.
