I From the Eti.ile.l

A letter from Ancona of the Itth of this month enntalls the
f new., the authenticity of which is not guaranteed :
Yesterday a vessel from Corfu arrived in this port, which confirmed
the "ews of the attacks made by Ibrahim on Missolonghi, and of
the losses which he experienced in these attempts. Today two
vessels have arrived from Corfu, one in 1.1, the other in 11 days.
They have brought the news that the fleet commanded by :11 isulis
had succeeded in again provisioning Missolonghi ; that the Greeks
had retaken Yassiladt, and that Ibrahim had been wounded.
The Observer of Trieste relates that an English man of war, in
in passage fmm Malta to the lonian Islands, had fallen in with
the Greek fleet coming from Hydra.
(From the Courtier Francais:)

The city of Nisnies, in which the missionaries have continued all
the winter, witnessed on the 22d of April such deplorable scenes,
as had not been repeated since the fatal epoch of 1815. Fanaticism
appeared to spring up in it afresh and with new fury, and, what is
remarkable, it took for its pretext the benediction of a mixed mar.
ties/c—a ceremony, which, though very frequent in this country,
hid never been the occasion of any disturbance even in the must

comy time!.

The house of a young Catholic girl, who was abont to marry a
Protestant, 11.4 invested early in the morning by a consider.
abls crowd, who uttered all sorts of reproaches against her.
The *riding party, which had to go to the Protestant chapel,
la receive the benediction, durst not go out, as one may suppose.
The tiforts of the Commissaries of the police to dissipate the popu.
lace were in vain. The Mayor went to the place, and his injunc-
tions being equally useless, he resolved to demand a Piquet of
gendarmes and a company of the Swiss regiment. rise aoidiera
formed so so to enclose the party, and it was in this way that the
bride and bridegroom, seho lived near the barracks, were conducted
to the little chapel, and afterwards re-conducted to the bridegroom's
house, in the suburb of the road to Avignon, continually followed
by a very numerous and irritated mob, who uttered cries and pro-
nounced the most ferocious threats ; stones were even thrown, and it
is st:inued that a woman was arrested who carried one in her apron.
The crowd continued round the house, always menacing in the same
way, till a late hour in the evening. Several persona have, it is
said, been arrested. The conduct of the civil and military autho-
rities, and panicularly chat of the Mayor, M. de Chaateliier, has
been worthy of the greatest praise.
It appears that the Chief of the Iroquois, brought into France by a
Mlesiettary, has bad but a middling success there, notwithstanding
his double talent for the singing of psalms and for the dance of his
country. His Iroquois Highness is now at 3larseilles, where lie is
about to embark fir Sonic.

/From the Etude, dated Sunday, April :Phi
ilis Majesty the Emperor of Alstria has addressed the follow.
autograph reseript to Count Sauran, his Minister of the In.

Dear Count Sauran,—Durlng the course of the dangerous
illness from which I have just recovered, with the aid of divine
Providence, J have received from my people new and numerous
proofs of attachment, which I consider as the fairest recompense
for the solicitude and love which I fcel for them. It is with lively
satisfaction that I have found in all classes of the nation, and

in Ell the provinces of the monarchy, the sentiments to which they
have cnnitantly remained attached In good and bad fortune. I
think I cannot better express to them my gratitude than by pub-
licly acknowledging the confirmation of this truth, so soothing to
my heart and so honourable to them.

His Majesty the King of Prussia has appointed the Duke of
Wellington Colonel of the 211th regiment of infantry, now in gull-
wn at Cologne.

The Alliemehic Zeilung, in a letter from the frontiers of Poland.
announces that the Emperor of Russia had caused to be delivered
to the Foreign 31 iniaters a note, addressed by him to the Divan,
the energetic language of which gives reason to hope that the Porte
will at length yield to the demands of Russia.

A letter from New Orleans of 211th Feb. has the following para.
graph :—." ft seems that there is not much personal safety at Vera
Cruz; some Englishmen have been assassinated there, and the per.
petratore of these crimes have net yet been discovered. The
people are dissatisfied at seeing the silver go to England, and it is
not known whether it will be easy to send away the millions which
are in that port, destined for that country. The passengers in the
Volcano, from the Havannah, had a strange reception ; the
Spaniards have been shut up in the Castle, and only the natives of
the Havannah have been allowed to enter the town, from which, it
is said, many of them will be sent away. because it is difficult to
decide what to do with. them, and the Government is Ignorant what
urgent reason can have induced them, under present circumstances,
to come to Vera Cruz, As for the Spaniards, those who have not
a passport from the government, or one of its agents, will hare to
quit the Republic immediately.

The pamphlet entitled, • if the English do not go away, we
shall be Slaves," has produced more effect than might be believe,
and the persecution of the author by the Government has given
mote importance to the subject, and excited in the people a para_
cular interest in favour of the author (who is banished), and at the
same time much distrust of those is ho govern the federation.

The jealousy which prevails in Vera Cruz against the
English is said, in a letter from New Orleans, given in the
Ekile, to have showed itself by the assassination of several
Englishmen in that city ; but seine abatements must no
doubt be made on account of the vehicle through which this
information reaches us.

If the news which was yesterday circulated in the City
be true, the Burmese war is at an end, and in a manner
advantageous to our interests in India, as well as conferring
additional glory on our arms. A letter was yesterday re-
ceived, by a most respectable house in the East Indian
trade, from St. Helena, stating that the Mellish had arrived
there, from Bengal and Madras, with official despatches, an-
nouncing the important fact that peace had been concluded
with the golden footed Monarch, in consequence of which
he cedes to the East India Company the sovereignty of no
less than live provinces, and pays the expenses of the war,
amounting to a crore of rupees, or 100 last, the rupee
being now worth about 2s. Id. This desirable event was
to have been expected, after the signal defeats which the
Burmese suffered subsequent to the rupture of the armis-
tier, and the consequent demonstration made by Sir A.
CAMPBELL of his speedy march upon Ummerapoora.
The following is the account which was entered in the
book at the Jerusalem Coffee:lsonse yesterday :

" A letter has been received from St. Helena, dsted 'March 211,
stating that the Rlelliah, from Bengal and Mulris, had brought
detpatchrs, ahaouncing a treaty of peace between the British forces
and the Burmese; the latter hal ceded five provinces, and one
crore or 100 lees of rupees."

At the same time it is our duty to apprise our readers,
that up to the latest hour that we could apply at the EAU
India House yesterday, we learned that no such account
had been received there. Nevertheless, we have never had
any doubt as to what would be the ultimate result of a
contest, undertaken by us solely with the view of repelling
barbarian insolence and unprovoked aggression. Indeed
our own authentic sources of information from India, jus-
tified us long since in predicting that such would be the ter-
mination of this war, unless some unforeseen accident, or
reverse against which human prudence could have no
avail, should overtake our Commander and the army under
him ; and we trust that an early arrival of the official ac-
counts will confirm our opinion. It was clear, from the
statements in the last Calcutta Gazette Extraordinary,
(which, by the way, we published a day before they ap-
peared in our own Gazette at home,) that the promptitude
and intrepidity of Sir A. CAMPBELL by land, and the
gallant and active co-operation of the officers of the naval
part of the expedition, left no chance of eventual success
to the enemy. Whatever provinces may now be ced.xl to
us, they will doubtless be those nearest our Chittygong
frontier and along the coast; and the natives we know will
heartily rejoice in a change of masters, as they will then
be rescued from the degradation and thraldom of that
despotism, which left them neither property nor life but
at the disposal of a tyrant or his minions. They will then
be placed under the mild, conciliatory, and protecting in-
fluence of British government.

A most important matter was last night mentioned in
both Houses of Parliament—in the Lords by the Earl of
Livettcoot, and in the Commons by Mr. CANNING—
namely, that Parliament should empower Ministers to let
the foreign corn at present in the country out of bond, on
payment of a duty of 12s. ; and also to admit foreign corn
to be imported (if- it 'should be found necessary), with a
•iew to the relief of the distressed manufacturing districts.
The subject will be taken into consideration, in a Com-
mittee of the whole House, to-night, in the Commons. If
these measures are adopted, as we have no doubt they will
be, the. KING in Council will bo empowered to regulate
the importation of foreign corn, as in the discretion of the
Council it may seem Inca; and, therefore, the question
of an exclusive system of Corn Laws appears to us to
be nearly decided.

It is proverbially true, that of all rebellions the rebellions
of the belly arc the woes•. When men arc goaded by the
pains of hunger, reason has very little influence on their
deliberations. It is fortunate that the distress which at
present unhappily prevails comes at I season of the, year
when the supply of food is becoming every day %ore
abundant, and when it has not the aggravation of In-
clement weather to contend with. The public meeting,
convened to raise a subscription for the relief of the suffer-
ing pcor of the manufacturing districts of Lancashire,
cannot fail to be essentially serviceable, as, from the num-
bers out of employ, the poor-rates must necessarily be in-
adequate to satisfy the claims upon them. In London,
large and liberal donations have been raised for the poi r
weavers of Spitalflehis ; and hut for this aid the wretched-
ness of thousands would have terminated in death. Thet•
is, providentially, every prospect of a most productive
harvest ; this blessing, if accompanied, as there is great
reason to believe it will be, by a revival of trade, and an
improved demand for the produce of our manufacturing
industry in the Continental market, will tend, we hope,
permanently to subdue those disturbances which bring
such a mass of calamity in their train. The measures
,adopted by Government have already tended very con-

siderably towards the restoration of tranquillity ; the spirit
of outrage appears much abated: this may, perhaps,
arise partly from the extent io which the rioters have
already succeeded in the demolition of the power-looms ;
but to whatever cause it may be ascn'bed, we trust it will
continue to subside, and that the misguided persons who
have been concerned in the outrages that have been com-
mitted, will cease to render themselves unworthy of that
sympathy, which, while they conduct themselves peace-
fully, their sufferings cannot fail to obtain for them. Great
praise is due to the military for the humane forbearance
they have manifested, but which they at the tome time
contriv‘d to combine with an efficient discharge of their
duty.
We rejoice to state that our latest accounts from Man-
chester, down to five o'clock on Sunday evening, inform us
that no actual disposition to rioting was then manifested,
and that the town had been tranquil during the day. Part
of the military had been ordered off to Oldham, to prevent
the destruction of power-looms in that district, which was
expected to be attempted yesterday.

CITY, MONDAY Evesiwo.

The general impression to-day in the City wan, that affairs m-
ounted a more favourable aspect in the manufacturing districts; but
we fear that this impression was mated more by reason of the corn.
paratively meagre intelligence received from Lancashire this moss.
ing, than from any real amendment in thaatate of the country. It
is remarkable that the commercial letters trail the illotoshed PO.
tillCei were for the most part sans with nowt to theoll4‘. ges
that had been committed there, and added nothing to the intelli-
gence already received from thence. This 'Pence may have arisen
from two causes ; the one, the supposition that the daily press wood
have already communicated every circumstance desertburpublicity,
and the other might be an apprehension of the letters felling into
the hands of the rioters, for the coaches have in several instances
been attacked and plundered. However that may be, certain it is
that the funds evinced an elasticity this morning which circum-
stances did not warrant. One reason for this buoyancy in the Bri-
tish funds undoubtedly was the favourable news from India, given
in another part of our impression. This wan a holiday at the Bank,
but, as we stated on Saturday, in the present condition of the money
market, it was not deemed advisable to close the Stock Exchanges,
and both houses had extensive business transacted in them. Con-
sols opened at 78, but soon rose to 788. at which price very eaten-
sive business was done, an eminent broker buying largely at that
price. Exchequer Bills were 91. pm.

The news from India did not produce any particular demand for
India Stock. shhnugh it naturally had a tendency to lighten it.
The following quotations were reported in the Foreign Market :
—Colombian Bonds, 404 ; Mexican 6 per Cents., 6144 ; Peruvian
Bonds. 29 ; Russian ditto, 764 ; Greek, 14, 16 ; and Spanish
Bonds, 74 8.
The Corn Market was in a state of depression tmday, and Wheat
experienced 'decline of 2s. per quarter ; (Tits also, of which the
supply was very abundant, were cheaper by le. per quarter.

IVe have received the Allgemeine Zeitung to the 25th,
and Brussels Papers to the 30th ult. The former contains
some unimportant rumours relative to the objects of the
late conspiracy in Russia. The contents of the latter are
merely of a local character.

We have received the Spanish paper, called the Comereo
de los dos Mundy:. It thtnishes, under date of Cadiz,
April S, a singular article, which represents Bolivar to
have hitherto abstained from invading Brazil, with the
army of Sucre, oil account of the danger in which the
Creoles have been placed since the Royal authority in those
parts ceased to exist. The Indians, it is said, consider,
now that the authority a the King of Spain is at an end,
that things ought to return to their arigival state, and the
country be placed under its native Incas. To effect this,
it is added, they contemplate a general Massacre of the
Spaniards, and all who are descended from Spaniards.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 41st ult. mentions the
return of Austrirn troops from the 'fwoßicilies, but eou-
tains no news of importance.
The following is an extact of a letter from Lcipsice,
dated April 19:—" The fair is worse than was at first
feared. Besides the weather, which is by no means favour-
able, there is a deficiency of purchasers, money, and credit.
AH the merchandize is at a low price, and losses are sus-
tained even upon the little that is sold. Leather has fallen
10 per cent. and coarse cloths 13. The number of Poles,
Russians, and Jews, is not so considerable as was expected.
The failure of the Swiss house of Berdiesew having caused
a loss at of more than 300,000 crowns, it is almost
impossible to get goods on credit. Credit is obtained with
difficulty for the beat bills of exchange."
There is good reason to expect that some of his Ma-
jesty's Ministers and several Noblemen will attend the
public meeting for the relief of the distresses among the
manufacturers.

The Chief Magistrate of Liverpool having received a re-
quisition for the purpose, has called a meeting of the nobi-
lity, chrgv, merchants, and inhabitants, to consider the
best mode of relieving the distresses of the unemployed
weavers and manufacturers, to take place this day at the
Town Hall.

Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, the 2d battalion of the
Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards, under the command
of Colonel Raikes, marched from the Knightsbridge Bar-
racks, to the Grand Junction Canal, where they embarked
on board fly-boats, to proceed with all due speed, with as
many horses as can be put on to draw them, to Manchester,
where they are expected to arrive on Wednesday night, or
early on Thursday morning.
The first regiment of Life Guards, it is said, are about
to march from Windsor, but not for Lancashire.

Several detachments of troops, with some pieces of
artillery, passed through Islington on Saturday night and
Sunday morning, on their way to the North.
The 63d Regiment, which marched from Chatham on
Saturday morning, and arrived at Pimlico and Chelsea
on Sunday noon, are not to proceed to Manchester, the
men composing it nut being deemed eligible for Ruch ser-
vice, but yesterday morning were marched for Windsor,
and detachments of the Ist battalion of the 3d Regiment
of Foot Guards having marched from IVindsor at an early
hour yesterday morning, leaving only a sergeant's guard.
The detachments arrived at the barracks at Knightsbridge
at a quarter past one o'clock; they would have proceeded
towards Manchester, but there were no Sy-boats in readi-
ness to convey them, nor is it supposed they will be ready
till Wednesday. The other detachment of this battalion
is on its march from Brighton to join the Regiment.
The Otley troop of the Yorkshire Hussars have
marched off to Addingham, and the Leeds squadron of the
same regiment paraded in the area of the Coloured Cloth-
hall at that town, but neither they nor any other of the
troops, except that of 01ley, have received any marching
orders.—Pot k Herald.

The following is an extract of a letter, dated Liverpool,
Sunday Evening, Five o'Clock :—" The War-office steam-
packet Emerald Isle has just arrived with a detachment of
450 men (the 73t1 Regiment) front Dublin, which piece
ehe left at three o'clock this murnine. and who, we under-
stand, are to march at three o'clock to-morrow morning
for Manchester. It is understood that the orders for the
troops to be sent to Manchester were received in Dublin on
Saturday."
Some eymp•ome of a revival in trade have manifested
themselves in Huddersfield. In the woollen tnatittfactory
of Messrs. Pedley and Co., situated at the Pailtli:ck, the
work-people are employed from daylight in the morning
till ten o'clock at night, and several other factories are
pretty fully employed, but the general business of the town
is stiil very flat, and the sales in the Cloth-hall are by no
means so brisk as is usual at this season of the year.—
Fork Herald.

We are glad to find that the proprietors of the new pe-
riodical publication, called the " Ass," intend to appro-
priate the half of the proceeds of their Number for the lat
natant, to the relief of the poor in the manufacturing dia-
Victs.

Yesterday the despatches for Chihs, by the ship Orwell,
Captain William Mishit Ferrer, were closed at the East
India House, and delivered to the Purser of that ship.
Report states that the two gentlemen who had a ren-
eontre on the Exchange at Liverpool a short time ago, have
gone to the Continent to terminate their difference, there,
each having taken a friend with him.

KLEFT'S EXHIBIZION
OF MODELS, ANATOMICAL SPECIMENS; to
112, HIGH HOLBORN.

Amongst the various public exhibitions, for the grad&
cation of the curious, Mr. Kleft's collection of models in
wax, composition, papierc mache, and carvings in box-
wood, are highly deserving of that public patronage which
real merit is ever sure to obtain.
The model, in card-paper, of /he " Basilica It Rome,"
or the cathedral of St. Peter's of the Vatican, is, in point
of exquisite symmetry and exact proportions, one of tie
finest models we ever witnessed. This, we believe, is the
largest representation ever undertaken of that magnificent
building; it being nine feet nine inches in length, three
feet iii breadth, and three feet in height. Unlike most
models of public buildings, the interior is equally as close
a resemblance to ' te original as the exterior, where the
most minute and t ifling architectural beauties are closely
copied and adherei to with scrupulous attention to veracity
and correctness. 1 ven the sculptured monuments des!gned
by Raphael da Urkino, Michael Angelo (Iluonarotti),/ind
various other of the esteemed old masters, are most faith-
fully represented.
Amongst the numerous models in wax contained in this
exhibition, one by Percy, representing "The dying Mo-
ments of Voltaire," and another, by Kieft, of " The In-
terior of a Flemish Cottage," (in which specimen of this
artist's abilities are delineated a boor, his wife, and
daughter,) are deserving the highest claims to admiration,
not only as regards the style in which they are executed,
but for the close and faithful representation which they
hear to nature. The wasted lineaments of die Celebrated
Voltaire at the period of dissolution are exquisite)? pour-
trayed.
Mr. Kleft's exhibition likewise contains a series or ana-
tomical models in wax, of which we have no hesitation in
saying that never before was the similitude of death
so wonderfully counterfeited, or the interior structure of
the human skull so minutely and faithfully represented.
In conclusion, we have only to remark, that in this ex-
hibition the architect, the sculptor, and the student in ana-
tomy, will find ample food for contemplation, as speci-
.
tams in each of those departments are presented that will
stand the test of the severest scrutiny,

pool's house, in Whitehall, which was understood to be
upon the subject of the communications received in the
morning, at nine o'clock, by Mr. Secretary Peel, from Lan-
cashire. At the breaking up of the meeting the Earl of
Liverpool went to the King.

Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, Mr. Secretary Peel
received an express from Lancashire. The Right Hon.
Secretary sent the contents to all the Cabinet Mi-
nisters. A Cabinet Council assembled at the Foreign
Office, at two o'clock, at which it was understood the com-
munications received by Mr. Secretary Peel, from Lanca-
shire, were taken into consideration, but the Council was
not summoned for that purpose, ca the summonses were
issued on Friday night last. The Council was attended by
all the Cabinet Ministers, with the exception of the Lord
Chancellor. They continued in deliberation till about
half-past four o'clock. Mr. Secretary Peel was in con-
stant communication with the Duke of York during the
day, except while he was engaged at the Cabinet Council,
making the arrangements necessary for the marching of
the different troops.

CHELTENHAM, APRIL 30.—Great numbers of visitors
are daily arriving, and a full season is expected.
Mr. Blewitt takes his annual Concert this morning, at
the Surrey Assembly*Booms, Kennington ; and we are
happy to find that the number of tickets already disposed
of proves that the frienffs of this respected member of the
musical profession think that be has catered well for their
amusement. Indeed, his bill of fare contains the names
of performers of such eminence as to itrsitre the company a
high gratification.
VAUXHALL GARDENR.—This enchanting suburban
place of amusement for all grades of society, where the
noble Peer is seen jostling amongst honest citizens, and
still wore humble mechanics, and, apparently, equally en-
joying with them all the delusions of the fairy scene, has
undergone, during the recess, some very important altera-
tions, which are now nearly completed. The rotunda has
been converted into a concert-room, with boxes and gal•
lery. The boxes are placed shout thirty feet high, and are
exeeedingly commodious, separated from each other by'
partitions, like those at the King's Theatre. The gallery
is placed at that end of the rotunda, where the Panhar-
monicon formerly stood, and the orchestra is at the other
extremity, in the place of the Fantoccini. The long room,
beyond the rotunda, is fitted up very tastefully, with a vs-
' nett of views of Italian scenery; and a panorsmie painting
of Tivoli, with a cascade, tills up the niche at the bottom
of the room. From the general improvements that are
now in progress in the Gardens, we anticipate a splendid
opening and successful season. Braham, Mint Stephens,
and 1)e Begnis, are engaged.
