The events in Peru seem to hove convinced the Government of
the neeenity of some morillicatioo of the systera which it has
hitherto pursued: but the Monks and their partisans, who see only
thenseekes in the station, anti dread every conceseioa made to public
opinion, not satisfied with the immense influence which they ex-
ercise over mind of the King, employ every kind of intrigue to get
their plans supported by the cries of the populace, and have
caused the semen that took place at Toledo to be renewed at Actin-
ium which scenes caused the famous decree for which intrigues are
carrying 00, to have conkagulatory addresses presented to the
King.
The Ooternment in vain continues to renew the order to put in
execution the famous plan of study drawn up by Father Martinez.
Fresh obetades daily *rise. The Bishop of Ceuta elect has just been
sent to • sit severs' Universities to remove thew difficulties, but it
is not likely that be will succeed better than those who have pre-
ceded him ,sith the same polrers.
The new I ttendant of the Police has burnt the numerous anony-
mows information., arid the Hats drawn up by his predecessor of the
premien over the kingdom .known for their political opinions.
The lists contained the names of above 80,000, mostly landowners
i rid merchants, whose fate was thus at the mercy of the extravagant
apices of Al. Itupthis.
Al. Reeacho has likewise given orders to omit in the puspfdt the
tiros relative to the Or iiiiollll and political conduct tof bearer,
W . e i his predecessor used to horn inserted in them, and which
wade these passports a kind of letter of proscription instead of a
safe conduct.
The deputies of the dewy have met by eerier of the Minister of
Grace and Justice, to treat on the subsidka to be granted to the
Havernmeat, and the sale of the seventh of the estates of certain re- .
ligious orders granted to Cheeks IV. by Pius VII., and which are
not yet sold. But this Minister may be sure that he will not have
this money. He dare not exact it if th, monks resist, for though
he can do everything in their favour, be is quite impotent againt
them.

'tie announced some time ago, that several inhabitants of Rheims
had made • declaration that when the Sainte-Ampoule, which con-
tained the consecrated ointment with which the Kings of France
hail been anointed tot many ages, war broken at the Revolution,
they collected anti carefully preserved a part of it. On Sunday last
the depositions of these persons were taken, and the portion of the
unction preserved was mixed with some newly-consecretad ointment
be the Archbishop of Rheims, in the presence of the clergy and the
chief Alagistrates. Minutes made of these proceedings were deity.
sited with the archives of the Archbishoorick, and the ointment
was put into a phial, and then placed in a superb reliquary of
silver gilt, which will be deposited in the tomb of St. Rents as soon
as the church in which it stands is in a state to receive it.

the following effect:—

" To all whom these presents shall come, greeting:
" Having taken into consideration, that the cultivation of sugar,

Nesselrode.

suspt ndal by orders from Constantinople.

THE GREEKS.

We have received a file of the Greek Chronicle of Mis-
aolonghi to the Z 1 (14th) April, from which we extract
the following details of the successful operations of the
Greeks against the Egyptian troops landed in the Mores
by Ibrahim Paeha :
OR the 30th March (April 11) and lit (13th) April, there were
engagements with the Egyptians. The Greeks, having received
reinforcements, and being then 8,000 strong, took all the enemy's
batteries, and defeated them completely. The Egyptians expe-
rienced considerable loss in killed and prisoners. The latter were
all sent to Tripolirza. On the 2d (14th) April, the President Con-
duriottis arrived at Navarino, and the soldiers he brought with
him increased the Greek corps to 12,000 men. Petro-Bey Marro-
trichaleso breathing vengeance for the death of his son, was, at the
head of 500 Spartans, detached from the abovi.mentioneci corps.
After the .wrival of the President other engagements had occurred,
and the Egyptians were blocked up in a place which had no earn.

vessels, which aided all the land operations; twenty-six vessels and
tour Sm-ships, under the command of Miaulis, being in the waters
of Candia, met twelve Turkish transports, loaded with ammunition
and provisions, which proceeded towards itlodon. Six of them were
sunk, three taken, and the other three got away. A brig, which ac•
cornpanied the transports, was also sunk. 'Twenty-eight other
Greek vessels, with eight lire-ships, under Sactouris, proceeded to
Samoa, to intercept the Turks. Twenty-two other vessels had re-
ceived ardent to sail--ten for the Gulf of Patras and Corinth, and
the other twelve for Epirus and Albania.
