LONDON, SATURDAY, Arßlt 1, 1826.

A courier is said to have been sent to Paris with a de-
spatch from NICHOLAS, in which he assures the French
Court that he has no objection to the adoption of a liberal
system of policy, and proposes to give up the lioly Alli-
ance. and adopt in its stead a general alliance on a mere
liberal basis. The Go::ette of Hamburgh, in an article
dated St. Petcrsburgh, March 8, observes that all the Ge-
tends and military Go -more now in the empire of Russia,
have been ordered not to leave their posts, on any account,
till further orders. The only conclusion to be drawn from
' these two pieces of intelli7ence seems to be, slots the Easel:-
Roe wishes to be on good terms with En :and, and is
anxious to be in readiness to take decisive measures against
the Turks, if necessarl .
As might have been expected, the French troops will
still continue to occupy the fortresses of Spain for some
time. "It cannot be denied." says .he Pitote, " that the
presence of the French in Spain averts great misfortunes."
The ludicrous circumstance about the tribute to Algiers,
suentioned some time ago in the British Press, Is now ad-
mitted by tba French Ministerial Papers.
A report is current in Lisbon, that one of the first acts of
the Regency was to solicit English troops—a request which
gave great umbrage to one of the foreign ambassadors.
The Bemposts party are known to have sent emissaries
into the provinces. They give out that Nlirive.i. is pro-
tected by the Emperor FRANCIS, who wrate to hie father
a few months ago in his favour. They add that he is
about to marry an Archduchess of the house of Austria.
The Greek inhabitants of Mount Olympus are reported
So have risen against the Turks, and hopes are entertained
that this will prove advantageous to their countrymen of
the Mores, by operating as a diversion in their favour.
The garrison of Misaolonghi has redoubled its ardour since
t arrival of KOTSAS Boa- za els ; and has concerted an
attack on the Turks by a sortie from the town, while KA-
I/1111AR' and Gonna' are to make a combined movement
at the same time upon their rear. The Gazelle de France
has declared that G.eece is Anti-European, and Egypt is

French. "It appears then," says the Coustitufionnel,
" that we are about to occupy this Turkish province out of
• respect to the legitimacy of the Su I.T A s." If such be the
"import of the remark, the Gazette de France, with all its
Ministerial connexion, must be wofully mistaken.
The accounts from Greece, given in the French Minis-
terial Papers of Thursday, are, upon the whole, extremely
favourable. We shall content ourselves at present with
referring to the extracts subjoined.

• CONSTANTINOPLE. FEB. 23.
It is eifErtne,l that Lord Cochrane has arrived at Zama but time
Fricke do not beeve it. Mr. Stratford Canning ia net yet come;

It is supposed that the delay is Intentional, in order to wait for the
issue of certain negotiations. It is true that the continaance of
the north winds may he alleged as detaining him at the Darda-
nelles, but then he might come be land.
Sir Hudson Lowe has for some time attracted the Mention of the
Franks, and even of the Turks, at Pen.
The °reeks have done nothing in the Mona and Etolia. They
have beaten the Tu:kish fleet beton Missolonghi, but failed In
their chief object, of throwing supplies into that elate. Ibrahim
was making every preparation for an attack at the beginning of the
month. The Sceaskier was obliged to give up to hint the command
of the siege on his retnrn ; after which be set out for Salons, where
be obtained some advantages.
Coaril, Frn. 22.

There has been ancther engagement between the tireek fleet and
the Capitan Paths. Captain Spencer, commanding the Naiad,
who was *imam to the engagement, says, that from the lite:pe-
nce/at of the Turks, who were the most numerous, the tireeks ob-
tained a alight advantage. At the closiof this battle the command
was taken from the Capitan Pasha, who was to go to Constanti-
nople before he took the road to Janina. Ibrahim has again sum-
moned Itlis+olonghi, but CI hi+ proposals have been rejected by
the defenders of the place, whtch has beau again supplied with
provisions. . .

.
There is no truth in all that is said of other advantages obtained
by the Cheeks. The diseases caused by the climate, in this Incle-
ment season, make great havoc in the Egyptian army, and compel
it to remain inactive. The dissentions t.mong the Greeks con-
tinue, and are. as they have hitherto been, the chief obstacles to
the success of their cause.
PARIS, MARCII 29.
We have received later; from Constantinople of the 20th of Fe-
bruary.
Ily an order of the Porte. all evil-minded persons are seised and
sent on board the men of war fitting out in this port. They ere
chained there by one leg, and each of them receives 200 piastres to
provide himself with necessaries before the squadron sails.
The Greeks. it is said, have attempted to burn the Ottoman
Let near Lepanto, but the Capitan Pscha waa on his guard and
dispersed the Ouricc. One Turkish frigate only ran aground on
the coast. It is added, that an English ship attempting to enter
3lismlonghi with previsions, was vigorously repulsed by the
Turks. Colonel Fahvicr has began his expedition against Übea.
'file arrival of Lord Cochrane in the Innian Islands is spoken of.
and the Mosselmen are much alarmed at it.

Within the last fortnight there have been frequent fires at Con-
stantinople ; but none of them hat been considerable.

Letters trout Patras, of the 10th of February. give serious ap-
prehemions respecting the movements of the Greeks in the Noma.
They speak of the danger of 'fripolizza, but without any details of
what the Greeks have undertaken.

These same letters represent the state of the Ottoman fleet as
very unfavourable, and give reason to doubt of a good understand.
ing between Ibrahim and the Capitan Pacha.
The heads and ears sent from Salona to Constantinople, have
been placed in the first coast of the Seraglio, with a Yana, stating
that they nee sent by Iledschid Pacha, being the fruits of an expe-
dition against the rebels in Carlieli, who were defeated and dis-
persed. The Iblossulmen army returned loaded with booty, sifter
taking 140 heads and ears, and 40,000 sheep.
Mr.*. Canning is expected every hour. The south wind is set
in, and he cannot be far from Constantinople.
• {Freon she Pilule of Friday. I
PARIS, MARCH 28.

Letters from Vienna of the 17th announce that Colonel Selves,
in the service of the Padta of Egypt. and Governor of Tripoli:vs,
has surrendered at discretion to the Greek caps cmnmanded by
Colixotroni.

It is said that the English Government is going to send 2300
men to Portugal, who will be at the disposal of the Regency. It
is said that, by a new treaty between France and Spain, our troops
are to remain for several years in Barcelona, Cadiz, Pampeluna,
&c. There may be some foundation for this report, for in the pre-
sent circumstances, and especially at a time when Fresh conspiracies
are brought to light, the occupation of these places by our troops is
too important a check upon insurrection for Ferdinand to consent
to part with them. It cannot be denied that the presence of the
French in Spain arrests great misfortunes. It is said that orders
lately received from Madrid at Barcelona prohibit the issue of any
sums from the Treasury beyond what is absolutely necessary in
order to pay as soon as possible to the Regency of Algiers an in-
demnity which it importunately demands.
The Pilote gives another letter (torn Barcelona, which says that
the Dey demands six millions of seals, about one million and a half
of francs, and that the Spanish Consul has agreed to those terms,
and has come from Algiers, on board a French brig, to inform the
Government of this agreement; the Dey having declared that, if this
sum is not 150011 paid, he will eany on a most active war against
the Spanish ntorchant ships.

Lisbon Gazettes, from the Bth to the 14th instant, arrived
yesterday ; they are principally occupied with the official
details of the commencement and progress of the fits o's
illness, which have now lost their interest. The following
extracts communicate some particulars of the proceed-
ings of the Government subsequent to the death of the
KING:—

1.190014. MARCH 8.

The formation of the Junta of Governine;t,b;
Decree of the 6th of March, having been communicated by a cir-
vilar letter to the Diplomatic Rody. the Ambassadors, Ministets.
and Charges d'Affaires of Foreign Powers at this Court, came to-
day (the ilth) to the Palace of f3empoma, to pay their compliments
to tier Royal Highness the Infanta, Donna Isabella Maria, and at
the same lime expressed to her Royal Highness their regret at the
illness of her august father.

MARCH 12.

This morning, at five o'clock, the Castle of St. George toad the
other forts, as well as the snips of war in the port, began to fire
minute-guns, on account of the death of his Majesty, which, to
most of the inhabitants of this city, was the afflicting signal of
their lamentable lots. The silent but expressive grief painted on
every countenance, is accompanied by antic!), for the health of her
Majesty the Queen, of the Infanta Danna Isabella Maria. and her
august sisters, as well as of her Royal Highness the Dmvager
Princess of Brazil, whose Royal beans are so profoundly afflicted
by this melancholy event.
The Senate has to-day issued a proclamation for mourning In a
year, and the citizens belonging to the t;enate are convoked for the
17th of this month, for the solemn act of breaking the coats of arms,
practised on the death of our monarchs.
The body of his Majesty has been embalmed, to he placed in
the Palace of Bemposta, under a rich canopy, where divine
service will be performed. and masses said, till the altars arc pre-'
pared in the same saloon. The bells of all the churches will
continue to toll, and the guns of the forts to fire from time to
time. The Nuncio and the members of the Government have
been, some yesterday and some to-day, to the Palace of Queluz,
to offer their condolence to her Majesty the Queen and the Princess
of Brazil.

The Infanta Donna Isabella Maria has received the visits and
compliments of the Court on this unhappy occasion ; Divine Pro-
vidence having given her the resignation she needs in such trying
circumstances, to support the difficult and indispensable duty
which her station requires: hut God has given her that strength
and masculine understanding which ',niters her worthy attic high
functions which she is called upon to fulfil in the government of
this nation.

LIABOS, .MARCH t 4.
The Cu:Pile of this date contains nothing official, except
nrders addressed to several public officers, announcing the death
of the King, and ordering a general mourning for a jiar.

A considerable degree of anxiety continues to prevail in
Edinburgh and the principal towns in Scotland, as to whit
will ultimately be the decision cf Parliament with regard
to the currency. That a temporary inconvenience may
arise, is a result to be looked for ; but the question, as we
have already said, is not what may be the sacrifice of
profit to which the Scotch Bankers may be subjected, but
whether, according to the best opinion that can be formed
by Parliament, the adoption of the legislative measure
proposed is called for by the general interests of Scotland,
so far u their interests are connected with the sound-
ness of commercial confidence and the stability of public
credit. We perfectly agree with the remarks of " A
litontsunra," whose letter will be found in another
part of our paper, that the great mischief and distress,
which was felt isti extensively in England, did not extend
