LONDON, IVEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1826.

The French Papers of the 30th, and the Polk of the
31st ult. have been received. It will be observed that
neither the Etoilc nor the l fonitenr mention any thing of

the change in the Ministry of Portugal, spoken of in
another column. The principal feature of importance in
these Journals is the intelllg,ence from Greece. The
Friend of the Law, a paper published at Hydra, states,
under the date of the 10th June, that the inhabitants of
the island of Spezza have incorporated themselves with
those of Hydra—occupying a district called Camini, which
has been assigned them in the latter island. The Crani-
diotes and Poriotes, it is said, will adopt the same
course, if necessary. It is hoped that the situation of Hydra
will render it impregnable. Colonel FABVIER occupies
the small island of Portal, situate almost at an equal dis-
tance from Nauplia, Athens, Corinth, and Hydra. He is
there employed in disciplining four battalions. A variety
of other movements are detailed, the accuracy of which we
can hardly rely upon ; but the decree translated elsewhere
shows that the Greeks begin to endeavour to give a more
organized form to their Government. A central Commis-
sion of the Philanthropical Society has also published a
decree for the establishment of schools. The direction
which Lord COCIIRANK has taken with his steam-vessels
still remains inexplicable, as the periasl which has elapsed
is quite sufficient to have carried him twice the length cf
the Mediterranean. The only intelligence received from
him is contained in a letter from Turin, of the 20th ult.,
including an extracTrof a letter from Cagliari, of the Sth,
stating that on the 4th July a fine English steam-vessel
had entered the roads, on its way to the island of Malta.
The Viceroy, it is added, visited her on the 10th, and on
the 11th the Captain received several distinguished persons
of the city on board, to wham he made offer to take them
a three hours' trip, at the rate of I' Italian miles per hour.
It is not said that Lord Coe tr RANI: was on board, and it is
suggested that a junction of the whole force had bceh
deemed necessary before making any attempt.

MAPRID,JULY 20.

Their Majesties arrived at Solar de Cabras, on the 15th, and the
Queen began to take the water on the 17th. It is thought their
Majesties will be at Madrid by the Ist of August.
Yesterday a house that was building on the Plaza Mayor fell
down. Twelve or fifteen persons were butted under the ruins,
and several were killed.
On the 4th there were again two shocks of an earthquake at Gre-
nada. The frequency with which the shocks have succeeded each'
other since the month of April is calculated to excite serious
alarm.

The Colombian privateers continue to infest the coast of fialivia.
It seems that there arc two of them, besides several small prizes
which they have urmetl ; and if means are not found to drive them
from these seas, the coasting trade, which they continually harass,
will be destroyed.
It is affirmed that some smugglers, Wyly entering into Old Cas-
i!e. Irons the frontiers of Portugal, sang revolutionary songs.
