LONDON, THURSDAY, SLpiEmiart es. 182 D,

We have received the French morning and evening Pa-
ris of Tuesday. Their contents become mere and more
iateresting with regard to the occurrences that arc agitat-
mg the Peninsula. The desertions that are taking place in
the Spanish army are daily more frequent, and they appear
to be the result of a previously concerted plan. The sot-
mLers declare their object to be to oblige Spain to effect
some indispensable reformations in her system of Govern-
v.ent, and such as are suited to the Teal wants of the na-
lien. It is even rumoured at Madrid that England and
France will unite in urging upon Spain the necessity of
some amelioration being adopted, so as to put an end to
the unhappy course that is at present pursued in that ill-
Iced country. The correspondence from Madrid, which
we have extracted from the Jou,nal des D. Guts, is partially
confirmed by what appears under the head of Portugal,
taken from the same Journal.
The Universal Gazette of Greece contains an account of
a battle having been fought on the ltith of August, be-
tween the Greek army and Redschid Pacha, upon a plain
near Athens, which lasted five hours, and at length termi-
nated in favour of the defenders of the Cross. The account
will be found in another part of our Paper.

(From the E!,Ate.)

According to a report which has just beet eedressed to the Go-
lfer:llMM by the Captain-General of the province of Estrentadura,
a part of the 4th Regiment of Chasseurs, which had gone into Por-
tugal, had returned to Spain and surprised an outpost of ten horse_
soldiers, whom they compelled to go back with them into Portugal.
The Government immediately despatched en order for the officer
torananding the post to be transferred to a Council of War.
The Spanish Government has rejected the terms for raising a
War proposed by U. Tessin. in the name of an English and French
trm. The terms were, that Spain should receive on account, and
a: a certain rate, the loan made by the Coates with Holland. This
gave di•ploasare, and all further provost:ions were tej=ted---Me,

" CONSTANT INOPLE, Aro. 25.

'• M. de illinziacky has had, during the past week, several con.
fere:lees upon the subject of the negotiations at Akermann
with the who has assured him that the Turkish
Commissioners had received all the necessary instructions for
continuing a state of peace. But it is not in general augured
favourably with regard to the result of their conf:rences. The
standard of the Pryhet is always planted In the first court of the
SeragLo ; and some persons pretend to know that it will remain
there till the army shall be organised and completed according to
the European system, end till tranquillity his ',col established in
the provinces."
The Gentian journalist is ill informed when he says that the
standard of the Prophet is always planted in the tint court of the
Seraglio: the standard was removed till an appointed day; and
it was after that citemustance that an alarming fire broke out,
which was even horning when the last news was despatched,
The Drainan Blanc announces that en unity of 10,000 men had
been organised in Portugal, and confided to Mina. This is as
true as the news of the, apparition of the Nil uniforms among the
Persian norms.
Marquis de Palate's, at London, has refused passports to all
the t.psniards who have applied to him for them In ostler that they
a►sr go to Lisbon.

their complement immediately fills,: up. It iv said that this

by • great neighbouring Power, which eensidered our present
iotue insufficient to maintain public. um:quality against the dia.
tntbances of thecuun:ry.
An Algerine squadron has committed much havoc, and created
stria more alarm, upon our western coast. They have already taken
twee or four ships belonging to his Holiness, aid one from Corfu
which they have sent to Algiers; but the lonian vessel was ini!
inediately released, upon application being made by the English
Consul.

It is remsrked that the hatred against the Jesuits is greater
here tl•an in any other country. Their adveruries, however, are
nut w be found in high society, who, on the contrary, ore friendly
towards thcui by their prudent conduct and their facility in the
confessional ; but all the other religious orders, and even the clergy,
have declared against them. When it was attempted to reorganize
we E:cleriarti4al J.,,,rhal, all the religious housts who were in-
vited to co-operate in this undertaking unanimously declared they
%sapid not take any part in it but upon emitli:wa that no Jesuit
viniuld be admitted to participate.
