LONDON, IVEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1826.

A work ot M. l'Abbe de la NIEVNAIS, in which he de-
fended the absolute power of the Church, has been seized,
and its author summoned to appear before the Tribunal of
the Correctional Police, at Paris. The French Journalists
attribute this measure to a desire of removing the obloquy
which has fallen upon the Ministry, in conceeittence of their
supposed connexion with the secret associations of the
Ultras. The Etoile itself denies the existence of Ultra-
inontanes ; and it is, no doubt, in so far, perfectly correct
its assertion. The objects of the societies so often spoken
of. are not precisely those of the old Jesuits, and their con-
Lesion with the principal members of the French Cabinet,
to say the least, is extremely problematical ; but that se-
cret associations, in favour of absolute power and fanatic
principles, are actually in existence, there cannot be the
slightest doubt, however naturally they may wish that they
alisuld still continue secret.

The French Papers continue to be filled with the
eeches of different deputies against the Law of Primo-
ger:ture. The following are extracts front the El,,de of

PARIS, APRIL 2.
1: is said that M. de Chsbrol, son of his Excellency the Mi.
rlster of Marine, has just set out tot Rio de Janeiro. it is supposed
tt.at he is the bearer of the rautication of the Treaty of Commerce
been France and [ward.

The health of the Arehbisho? of Bordeaux is improving. and
torer is awe room to hope that the venerable prelate will be pre-
served to the diocese he governs with so much vatis!'action.

Among a number of memoirs which have been sent to
t;,e Ministers assem bled at St. l'etersburgl), there was one, it
i. still, by a well known inhabitant of liedin, which tended
to >how that the plot in Russia, of the 'etith December,
was the work of the secret associations in tiermany, and of
those professors and students against whom a certain de-
scription of persons display a raussur so persevering end
embittered. The French Jesuits and the Prussian police
have ma& lists of such persons as they consider suspicious.
11 is, in fact,'by the intrigues of the Jesuits that the Pro-
testant church in Russia has become obnoxious to the
(;'reek church established there.

by the accounts from St. Petershurgh, it appears that
serious apprehensions are still entertained concerning the
designs of the conspirators, and that the mountain tribes on
Csurssus have again revolted.

"ST. PETERTICRGH, MARCH 7.

• • An order of the day of lit March, which was addressed to all
the corps of the Guards, excited some sensation, and proves that
time renewed insurrection of the mountain tribes of the Caucasus
against the Protectorate of Russia, which they had formally recog-
nised, is considered by the ticvernment itself as not without im-
portance. (The order of the day here mentioned, is that which the
Noverur addressed to the soldiers of some companies of the Guards
implicated in the insurrection of the 21ith December, telling them
that when he pardoned them, because he considered them to have
been misled by ill disposed persons, he designed to give them
time first favourable opportunity of wishing out this stain by em.
playing them in actual service.) Such an opportunity, says the
order of the day, now presents itself. Ilia Majesty the Emperar
h►s received information from the Commander-in-Chief of the
Corp' of Caucasia, that the continuance of the insurrection in the
country of the l'schetschenrls compels General Jernmaluff to adopt
decisive measures at the commencement of the spring to chastise
these rebellious mountaineers. Two battalions are, therefore, to be
formed of these soldiers. and sent to Caucasus, from which they are
is return to St. Peteisburgh as soon as the mouutaineers are reduced
to obedience.

The expected arrival of the funeral prnce•aion of the late I:m-
-pares Alexander is now the general subject of tracery. and conrer.

tioo asin this capital. We already hear people arranging ohenund
where they will be able to have the last view of it. The account of
the funeral ceremonies, &c. which fills eleven printed sheets, in-
forms us of the course the procession will take, from its entrance at
the Moscow gate till it reaches the Cagan Cathedral, which has
been fitted up at the expense of eighty thousand rubles, with truly
Imperial magnificence, In a style suitable to the dignity of the oc-
casion. The body will lie in state for nweek in the church. The
occupiers of houses in the streets through which the procession will
paw, lye already calculating the ample tribute which curiosity
will be obliged to pay to them. They talk of 300 or 400 rubles
(in Bank notes) for the hire of a single window on the occa-
Woo. Many persona here have still great apprehensions for the
day of the funeral; they fear, perhaps net wholly without
noon, that a coup de main may be attempted by the evil-minded ,
who, us report says, are still at work in the dark. At all events,
the Government takes the moat vigorous precautions. Thus, only
In week, in consequence of en obscure popular report, all the
vaults under the Cagan Cathedral were strictly examined by mi.
Ilitaty and police officers. It was suspected that gunpowder was
concealed in them. With the exception of a small quantity of
wine in some of them, which had been let by the ecclesiastical au-
thorities to private wine.merchants, nothing was found In them•
Everything was orde►ed to be immediately removed from the
vaults. Seals were put on the doors, arta a military guard sta.
'boned at every entrance. It is well known that the traitors arrested
on the 26th December had previously the project of executing
their atrocious purposes on the very day of the interment."

By a letter from Berlin, given in our extracts from the
Brussels Papers, it seems that the political speculators in
that capital have come to a conclusion in some respects
similar to what we detailed at length some time ago. A
new political system is to be adopted in Europe, and
Prussia is to aet a more important part in that system.
l'russia begins to throw off' its reserve about Greece, and
the Government ostensibly adopts a more liberal plan, as
being now aware of the necessity of conciliating France
and England. The Prussian Monarch is expected to have
an interview with the Emperor NICHOLAS, when the latter
comes tote crowned King of Poland.
The following are extracts from the Brussels mail which
has been received:—

EXTRACT Or A LETTER FROX BERLIN, DATED MARCH 25.
"For this week pest the exchange of couriers between this capital
and st. Petervburgh has been very active. It is to be inferred from
this, that in the new political system which is about to be formed,
Prussia will act a very prominent part, and much less secondary
than that which it has so gratuitously taken upon itself since t',e
general pacification.
" Count Betnitorff being ill. and his presumed successor being
only just arrived, It i■ ill. Aucillon, Director-General of the Di-
plomatic faction of the department of Foreign Affairs, who re-
ceives all the despatches, and who forwards them after having
made his report to his Majesty. ►t is remarked that the private
audiences given by the King to the Russian Ambassador ate now
much more frequent.

From what transpires respecting the negotiations carrying on at
St. Petersburgh, the nemerous friends of the Greek cause among
the inhabitants of this capital hope that a more auspicious star will
soon tire on the destiny of dim heroic nation. The Emperor Nicho-
las, it is loudly asserted in oar circles, cannot and will not abandon
his fellow-christians to the exterminating sword of the ferocious
Mussulmans. Those who speak in this manner are not young en-
thusiasts; they are old soldiers, whose blood, however, is still warm
in their veins. There are even some of those gained their first
honoun in the memorable campaigns of 1813, 1131-1, and 1815, and
who intend, in the case of a Russian expedition against the Turks,
of which no doubt Is entertained. to ask for temporary leave of ab-
sence, torally round the standard of the Cross, either to combat, in
the More& itself, or in the Russian ranks on the Pruth and the
Danube.

•• It is affirmed that our Monarch has always manifested the most
lively interest in the cause of the Greeks. In reality, at a time
when this cause was placed under an interdict by almost all the
censors of the press in Germany, we often read in our State
Gazette articles that were favourable to It. In the sequel it Is
true some measures were taken to impede the operation of the
Philhellenic societies; but it Tray chiefly with the view to pre-
rent an ardent youth, in the army especially, and the Univer-
sities, from being inconsiderately hurried away by their enthu-
siasm. Besides the political situation of Prussia sufficiently jus-
tifies our Government where it has acted on principles agreeing
with those of the other great powers.

" It is thought that the journey which his Majesty isgoing to
make to the eastern provinces of the monarchy, is chiefly with
the intention of having an interview on the frontiers, of Lithu-
ania with the Emperor his son-in-law. It is, therefore, pre-
sumed, that this journey will be undertaken about the time
when the Emperor will come to Warsaw to be crowned King of
Poland.

" As for our internal affairs, the judicial proceedings against the
pretended revolutionary intrigues begin to be related ; the result
of the investigations on this subject has by no means satisfied our
visionaries, and though it is not yet entirely known, it has trans-
pired that several persons suspected of being implicated in this me-
lancholy affair have been declared perfectly innocent. Among
them we may mention the celebrated Welker, Professor of Di.
vinity and Archeology at Donn. The Ministerial Commission
which presides in the investigation, has just restored to him the
papers seized on him in MN, and has addressed a rescript to him,
that it is utisfactorily proved that he was always a stranger to all
political intrigue and tendency.

" Some young men arc still confined in the castle of Copenick ;
they are, however, treated with the greatest lenity, because it re-
sults, (coin the whole of the inquiry, that if even they have gone
astray for a moment, their projects of rehmin were reveries which
never could have endangered the safety of the State, and fur which
they merited at the most but a slight punishment."
Ilaussers, APRIL 1.

fl'he Kbig arrived here yesterday evening. It is said his
jesty intends, In a few days, to go to the 14.1nd Duchy of Luzern-
burg.—Orack of Brussels, Sunday, April 2.

Letters from Barcelona state that the King of Spain has
pardoned the conspirators of Tortosa, who had taken part
with Bassi EKES. The populace, who are attached to the
apostolic party, illuminated the town on learning this news,
and wished to have a clergyman who had been implicated
in the conspiracy set at liberty immediately. The Gover-
nor, however, put a stop to their proceedings.

Siine of our contemporaries seem anxious to throw discre-
dit on the news from Greece. Perhaps our wishes deceive
us; but the principal particulars are confirmed by accounts
from Corfu. The Gazette d'Augsbuurg repeats the facts,
and the Austrian Observer itself intimated some time
ago the probability of I NIA 111 WS having been repulsed.

Regular files of American Papers, to the 10th of March,
arrived at a late hour this morning. The attention of the
public of the United States appears to be divided, in a
great measure, between the discussions in Congress rela-
tive to the Panama Mission and the amendment of the
Constitution. The former has naturally excited the
greater portion of attention, and given rise to the most
kngilty retnarks, because it was a subject respecting which
nothing could be known, as it has been debated in Con-
gress with closed doors. It is amusing enough to read the
observations of the American Editors upon this question,
with their national curiosity evidently excited in the highest
degree ; and yet they all endeavour, awkwardly enough
most certainly, to conceal their chagrin at not being made
acquainted with the particulars ; but a stern determination
to keep the people in the dark on this point appears to
actuate these republican senators. The New roil. Adver-
tiser, of the 2d March, has the following announcement:—
REPORT OF TILE SECRETARY or TILE TREASURY ON
DRAWBACKS, iv.
