By the Paris Papers of ildisaly we learn that the
Madrid Gazette still continues to publish accounts of the
triumph of the Royalists in Peru. According to these
absurd fabrications, Bouvaa and his army are on the
verge of destruction. The fanatical party has the most
complete ascendancy in Spain. General Motu Lim has in
his absence been condemned to four years' solitary confine-
ment, in spite of his capitulation with the DAUPHIN.
This judgment, however, is of little consequence to him,
as he has taken refuge in France. The news from Greece
is confirmatory of the repulse of the Egyptians. Instead
of making themselves mastersof Calmat' and Navarino,
they have been confined entirely to the defensive. It is
stated in the Aug:burgh Gazette, that the Great Powers
had resolved to interfere in the sanguinary contest, but
they have so long deferred their 'Mediation that the ques-
tion will now most likely be decided by arms.

The official part of the Mon tear contains two Royal
Ordinances:—

1. Appoints a Commission, consisting of twenty-five members,
for the liquidation of the indemnity due to the French whose
estates were confiscated or sold by the Revolutionary Government
(revolutunmairentent). The Marshal Duke of Tarentuin is Pre-
sident of this Commission. 'This Committee is subdivided into
five sections, each consisting of five members ; each section is
charged will:
the liquidation in a certain number of departments.
2. Appoints Count Mollien Presitleot of the Commission of
Superintendence of the Caine d'Amortissement ; and Messrs.
Olivier and beroi, of the Chamber of Deputies ; and Baron God-
hcnni, Pre?itient of one of the Chambers of the Court of Ac.
counts, members of tie same Commission.
The official part contains also the account of the formal intro.
duction of the Count d*Orcolla, Ambassador Extraordinary from
the King of Portugal, appointed to be present at the Coronation.
The address of the Ambassador, and the King's answer, arc thus
given by the Quothlitner :
The PortugueseAmbassailor Extraordinary expressed himself as
follows : . .

" I am charged by the King, my master, to reiterate to your
Majesty the felicitations which he has already addressed to you on
your accession to the throne of your ancestors, and to express to
you the cordiality of the sentiments of affection and attachment
which his Most Faithful Majesty entertains for your august person,
and of the wishes which he constantly makes for the ploxperity of
your reign."
The King replied—
" I am Very sensible of this mark which the King, tour
Master, gives me of the friendship he entertains for me. I attach the
highest value to the preservation of the relations of friendship and
harmony which happily subsist between the two crowns. As for
you, Sir, I congratulate you on the choice which his Most Faithful
Majesty has made of you, by appointing you his Ambassador to be
present at the ceremony of my coronation."

According to the latest accounts from the 31orea, Ibrahim Pacha
is not only not master of the Calamatatuut Navarino, but has been
obliged, after several fruitless attempts, to penetrate into the interior
of the county. to return and entrench himself before Modon, and
to confine himself to defensive measures.

The Ottoman fleet will sail in a few dart. A frigate has been
launched for the Capitan Pacha. To-morrow the Janissaries will
receive double pay. It is hoped, therefore, that all will pass
quietly.

ODESSA, APRIL 0.
According to authentic accounts from St. Pctersburgh, the con-
ferences of the Ministers of the Great Powers relative to Greece,
have just been concluded ; and it is pretended that Extraordinary
Envoys are going to Constantinople to negotiate with the Divan.
But there is every reason to believe that the question will be de-
cided by arms before they can commence their negotiations. It is
therefore not without reason that we said, and that we repeat, that
this campaign will be decisive.—.4axerberk Gazette..

The Brussels Papers of Sunday state that a courier from
Madrid had arrived unexpectedly at the residence of
Count DL NAvta, the Spanish Minister at the Court of
the Netherlands, with wham the courier departed the
next morning to Amsterdam. The journalist adds, that
" it it more than probable that this courier was the
bearer -of despatches to M. Mavis, which enjoined him
to use all possible means to obtain a loan in Holland
for his Catholic Majesty." Why this conjecture is " more
than probable" the Brussels Paper does not attempt to
show. We think that, under present circumstances, it is
by no means probable that this sudden journey, supposing
it really to have taken place, is connected with an en-
deavour to raise money for the King of 6ra tu in Holland.
It is true, that M. NAYIA was appointed under the Cortes,
and has been neglected since the restoration of FERDINAND
to absolute power. .Bat it does not follow that the renewal
of his diplomatic character arises from the desire to nego-
tiate a loan with the Dutch capitalists, any more than the
fall of M.VoARTa arose from 1,4 e resolution of the Spanish
Government not to borrow from English capitalists on the.
terms proposed .by then. The fact is, that the latter
negotiation has been continued without interruption, though,
like all matters of Spanish business, it has "_dragged its
slow length along" with the usual tardiness that distin-
guishes the transactions of that nation. It is now, we have
good reason to believe, near its conclusion, and we may, in
all probability, very soon have to make the iniportaut an-
nouncement that it is completed.

Calcutta Papers to the 4th of January were received
yesterday. We have in another column given some
extract: from them, and the ()coeval Order issued by the

Govtaxoa-GewENAL in honour of the victory at Rangoen.
The total lose of the enemy is officially estimated at 5,000
killed and wounded, 250 pieces of cannon, and the greater
part of the military stores. The grand army of the Bur-
mese, before their defeat, consisted of nearly 50,000 men.
There is no truth in the revolution said to have taken place
at Ave. The report appears to have originated in a super-
st:tious trick, on the part of the barbarian Kixd, to break
the spell by which he Supposed his disasters to have been
occasioned. In order to get rid of the bineful influence,
he has paced his s,,n temporarily on the throne, and this
circumstance probably gave rise to the report that the
KiNG was dead. It was expected that the Burmese would
speedily sue for peace.

The Roman Catholic Relief Bill was last night ca-7--rted
up to the House of Lords by Sir Join NEWI'ORT, ac-
companied by Mr. PLeNKETT, Mr. Virvi:\i,
BROUGHAM, and many other Members of the House of
Commons. So great was the apparent anxiety to be
present on the occasion, that not more than twenty Mem-
bers remained, out of perhaps a hundred, who were in
the House when Sir Jou x NEMI.ORT left it with the Bill.
Ou the motion of the Earl of Doisounlistoar, the Bill
was read a first time, and ordered to be printed. The
second reading was fixed for Tuesday next, when the de-
bate on the principle of the measure will take place.
Several petitions had been previously presented against
further concessions to the Catholics.

CITY, XrrDVESDAY EVE *11(0.

There was some extensive business in Consols this morning, and
the prices of yesterday continued throughout the day, viz. 91i for
Money, and the same for the Account. Although the sales were
heavy, the market was tot shaken by them.
In the Foreign Market there was a good deal of bustle, which
was considerably increased by the expectation of two new American
Loans, one for Peru and the other for Buenos Ayres. It is stated
that they will speedily be-annour.ced. South American Securities
materially advanced during the early part of the day; and although
they afterwards declined, they still left off at an improved quotation
to yesterday: Colombian Bonds opened at 80t, and closed at 4;
Mexican Scrip commenced at I, and ended at 11 discos nt. The
Greek Bonds were 62, and the Scrip, notwithstanding the payment
on it was firm, at 4i discount. The Spanish Bonds, both old and
new, fully supported yesterday's prices. The anxiety respecting
the new Spanish Loan creates a lively Interest on the Stock Ex-
change at this Moment. The Bonds of 1821 were 214, and those
of 1823, 19. Brazilian Scrip was I premium, and Danish ditto
2 24 discount.

1 great deal of Misincis has done in the Share Market in the
Potosi Company, at 4g. The G.-metal Mining Shares also attracted
a good deal of attention at 9 10, and some bargains were done in
the Pasco-Peruvian Company at 10g li. To-morrow (being Holy
Thursday) will be a close holiday on the Stock Exchtmge.
There were no transactions in Coffee, in Mincing-lane, of any
consequence. The sales in Sugar were somewhat extensive, at fair
prices.

Letters from Lisbon assert, in positive terms, that a
Commission authorising Sir Charles Stuart definitively to
conclude a treaty with the Brazilian Government, upon
such terms as were considered unobjectionable, had re-
ceived the Royal signature ; from which it was concluded
that little difficulty would occur to the completion of an
amicable adjuctt»ent of the pending differences between
Portugal and her former and most important Colonial pos-
sessions.

The accounts from Greece received yestenlay, though
not so late as those contained in the French I'apets, Show
that the account of the reverses of the Greeks, received
through Smyrna, are quite unfounded.
The Emperor of Russia left St. Petersburgh on the
16th ult. for Warsaw.

A Royal Decree has been issued at Naples, enjoining all
Officers of the Army and Navy who live in concubinage,
and who have natural children, to contract marriage both
before the civil Magistrate, and at the Altar, with the
mothers of those children, or to consider themselves as
discharged.
An article from Berlin, in the Allgemeine Zenung,
states that Professor Cousin is about to return to Francei
it having been announced to him that " no criminality
sults from the information against him." It is lidded, that
M. Cousin has conducted himself with great propriety
since his arrest, and that he has made no demand for
compensation, not even for the delay to which he has been
subjected.
At Antwerp, the rate of exchange has undergone a
slight ehartge in favour of this country. On the 29th
of April the etchange on London was quoted at 39. 4.
short paper; on the 6th May it was 39. si. to 6.
Mau Lae WA IL—A letter from an Assistant-suigeOn in
the Indian army, to a gentleman of this city, says, speaking
of the Burmese war, that it is.the " bloodiest, perhaps,
ever carried on." "No quarter," the letter continues, "is
given by these cannibals. Every prisoner they take of ours
is crucified, and a cut made down his belly, his bowels let
out, and in that state he is left to die. /am sorry to say
many of our people haie already suffered this death. We
however, in our turn, mow them down in thousands, and
take their stockades, or mud forts, as fast as we get up with
them. Sometimes forty or fifty of them, on being ap-
proached by our troops, will stand stone still, blind their
eyes, and be shot. Phis has frequently happened. At
other times, excessive numbers will make a rush out from
a jungle, and succeed in cutting off some of our troops ;
but if they see a tolerable body of Europeans, they make
off direct again for the jungle. A shell was thrown, some
weeks ago, and about fifty or sixty men, women, and chil-
dren, got close to it, amused for a few seconds at the fusee,
when it went off; and killed el around."—L•'dinburgh

seecer.

The following is an extract of a letter from Lima, dated
4th Jan. 1823 :—" We have been very much harassed
here between one party and another for the last six months.
However, we have at kugth, at the expense of hard tight.
ing, obtained the liberty and independence of Peru, autf
with it that of the South American continent. Our only'

thorn now is the Castle of Callao, which still holds ow,
and Gen. Rodil, the Governor, resists all terms, and ranee'
to furl() the capitulation mask by Canterae. Gen. Me 4
one of the vanquished Spaniards, has been down to C
to-day-to endeavour to force an admittance, and gain :blitz
tetview with Gen. Roth!, but to no effect. lie was Alit
permitted to approach within half a mile, but had a
interview with one of Rodil's Aides-de-Camp. Thus tit
are situated in Lima, with only about 2,500 men, and
Callao there are as many, and we are liable to their-etc
lions whenever they choose to come.out. The bloellittlteby
land has been until this period pretty effectual, but sea
we have at present none, however, the principal one Ro-
dil has to encounter is the want of money, and therefore the
sea being open to him will be of little avail, for if he cannot
pav, and well teo, there are few that will like to sell to him
under present circumstances, for even Jonathan will not
put his finger into the fire. The victory gained by the
Colombian army in the plains of Ayacucho was the most'
complete one ever fought in South America, and has had
the most ruinous consequences on the Spanish authority in
these parts. It has quashed it eternally and everlastingly.
Never can the Spaniards raise their heads again in South
America, let them send what armaments they choose. I
suppose we shall soon have a drove of adventurers, and
goods sufficient to supply a few millions more than exist
in Peru. however, they will not breed a famine in the'
land, fur, thank Go:I! there will be enough to eat for them
all, though I think employment will be found rather,
scarcer than some may imagine. The 64-gun ship Asia is!
in a most horrible state, making eight inches water an
hour.; and although she is ordered to leave this coast for
Europe in a limited ,time, I am afraid she will have to
remain here as a hulk or guard-ship, fur which only she is
adapted."
HaLT-PAV.—The three months' half-pay to the reduced
Officers of his Majesty's Land Forces, due the gith of
March, including those heretofore borne on the Irish Nati-
blislunent, will, after to-fiaS, be payable on Monday,
