In the evening sitting of the Cortes of the 6th of
June, a dispatch was read by the Secretary at War,
sent by Don Fraaci•ce Valdez, commanding the
light battalion of Catalonia, who is churned with
the pursuit of the band of rebels commanded by
Merino. This dispatch, dated front Sepulveda,

MADRID, JUNE 10.

Petitions continue to come from all quarters re-
questing the King to convoke the Extraordinary
Cortes, We said • few days ago that the limits of
our Journal would not allow us to give even an ex-
tract of the arguments adduced to skew the limes-
' sity of this measure ; but the number of petitions
is How so great, that it is impossible fur us to give
even a lot of the places and corporaliosis that ex-
press their wishes un this subject. Provisioual De-
putations, Constitutional Muncipalities, and mili-
tary bodies, have all united on this occasion to ap-
proach the throne, requoating his Majesty to autho-
rise by his approbation this measure, which they
consider as necessary to the preservation of the
Constitutional Systein. All these petitions are dic-
tated by the same love of liberty, and respect for
the Constitutional Throne; and it may be justly
inferred from them that these are the sentiments of
the whole nation.

His Majesty has been pleased to appoint Lieut.-
General Don Francisco de Compous y Na,,., to the
post of Political Chief of this province. li is said
that his Excellency has to-day expressed a wish to
decline this office, but his Majesty has not judged
fit to accede to Ins desire.

JUNE 11.
A circular letter has been sent to the Political
Chiefs, desiring them to take all the means in their
power torepress smuggling. In this circular it is
stated, that, according to official information from
Cadiz, smuggling is not carried 011 clandestinely,
and in the night, but that contraband goods are
landed in open day by main force; that a quantity
of English goods was landed at noon, and detained
by the officers, who were on the point of lodging
the goods in their warehouse, when they were attack-
ed by a baud of smuggler., who retook part of
them before the guard Caine, under whose protec-
tion the rest was carried to the Custom-house with
imminent danger of a riot, front the number of
persons who followed with violent menaces, and the
seditious cries of " Those Servile robbers." The
officer. are insulted in the execution of their duty,
and one of them was lately thrown into the sea and
perished. Similar disorders prevail every where,
one these scandalous proceeeings have gone so far
that the most energetic measures are necessary to
check the unparalleled audacity of the smugglers.
The Cortes have been principally engaged in
continuing the discussion of the plan of finance,
and that of the system of public instruction.—

CORFU. NAT 23.

The accounts we receive from the Morta inform
us that Demetrius Ypsilanti, the brother of Alex-
ander, ha■ joined the Greek army in the Pelnputs-
, nexus. This young man was accompanied by Alex-
slider Cautacuzeno, brother to the Commander-
iii-Chief of the ca►alry of the Greek army in
Wallachia, and by two Peloponnesian officers, who
have quitted the Itua.ian service. These four Gene.
roil Officers, after taking the orders of Prince Ypsi-
lanti, General in Chief of the Greek forces, have
succeeded, in spite of a thousand obstacles, in
reaching the Peleponnesus. The young Prince De-
metrius published on his ar►ival a very energetic
Proclainaiiou, which was received with enthusiasm
by the officers of the various corps already organised
in the Peninsula. There is no doubt that the
greatest harmony prevails between the armed corps
in the different parts of Greece, and that their
operations will in future be on a combined plan.
The conduct of Lord Strsngford, the British
Ambassador, has been very energetic. The safety
of his countrymen residing at Constantinople is due
to his firmness. He sent orders to the Commander
of the British squadron in the Mediterranean to
