CONSTANTINOPLE, FED. IS.
Though the capital is mere.tranquil than could be expected after
the late events, the fermentation sun continues among the Janis-
saries, and it is of a nature to excise the most semen alarms.
Four ottes, in which the most violent degree of insolasedination
had appeared, have received orders to march to Themaly, there to
make part of the corps oppmed to the Greeks ; but they have peal-
lively and " unanimontly refused. "We will not dissth mad the
Janissaries. " till the buds of three of the Sultan's Malone have
bent delivered to us."
The Grand Vizier and the Poeta of Bujukdere have estimmed
measures to prevent a new explosion. Sommer chiefs of the in-
surrection have been arrested and secretly executed.
There are various miens in eirentatioe relative to the late Chasid
Vizier Pacha, but it seems difficult to believe in • his recall,
though it is desired by a very numerous patty. His moderate
system could not support itself in the critical circuit:trances in
which the Porte now is.
The Marquis rf Symons has arrived, experts, ateonstantinople,
with despatches foe Colin Otaillentinot the French Ambassador.

The Journal des Debate says to-day, " there was an extraordi-
nary ductuadoe on 'Change yesterday. There was a decline from
102 f. 30c. to 10If. 90e. and in a few minutes after • rise to 102 f."
If wean not mistaken, here is a fluctuation of 10 centimes, ac-
cording to the Jointed Its Davis. What is there extraordinary
in that ?
We sett by the Gerataa and hallos Papers that the chief of the
rebels, Colocotrooi, to order to obtain pardon from the Greek
Government, has made disclosures, which expose fully the in.
trigues of all his accomplices. It is diScult to mosseive how a
weak nation, attacked from without by powerful enemies, while
traitors plotted her ruin within het own bosons, could escape from
so mare dimmest but we cannot see without ahuddering that
lifussulinans could MA Europeans and Christians boas and infamous
enough to serve m agents of corruption.

It appears likely that she Duke de l'lnfantado sod General Que-
sada will replace M. Ugarte in the King's favour: The first, it Is
said, is not ignorant of the intrigue which has caused the downfall '
of the favourites, and it is remarkable that although be has for the
last two mouths been very well disposed to go to Paris as Amber
sador Extraordinary at the Coronation, yet that be has now refused
that mission. With regard to the latter, his violent and °esthete-
ing character render him very ill fitted to play the part of favourite,
especially in our Court. It has been thought hitherto that M. Zea
and M. Uttar, were upon very good twine t but the anxiety that
M. Zee his just shown to cut his friend, forms soother instance of
the stability of Court friendships. The following details afford a
specimen :—M. Ugarte's dismissal wee signed on the 17th. sod one
hour afterwards M. Zea had communicated it to him. When M.
time received the letter which announced to him his fall, he in-
stantly got into his carriage and drove to the Palace, but found that
he was forbidden access to the King. Seeing that the ar.ir
was serious, he changed his plan, went home, and on the
next dry wrote to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, informing
hint, that his health did not permit him to make so long a journey
as to Turin. but that he would still serve the King in the Pe-
ninsula. On the 20th. M. Zee answered M. Ugatte, and an.
flounced to him that his Majesty accepted his resignation ; but
ordered him to quit the capital in four and twenty hours. The
favourite, well knowing with whom he had to deal, foresaw that
matters might come to this pass, and had accordingly taken to his
bed in order to gain time : he excused himself again, therefore, on
the score of his health ; but on the 2lst, the order to depart in four
and twenty hours was renewed, and it is asserted that he accordingly
set out this morning for Toledo.
Those men belonging to the prevailing party flock to M. Ugarte's
to make their compliments of condolence.

Paws, APRIL 1.
The Etoile of this evening contains a long enumeration of the
persecutions exercised by the Protestant Governments of Germany
on the Catholic Bishops ; these persecutions are in fact molting.
Would it be believed that these Governments pretend to maintain
their civil authority independent of the ecclesiastical power, and of
obliging that power to confine itself to its spiritual affairs! Such
an assumption cries aloud for vengeance. The Eloile accuses
the German Governments of intolerance, and it is in the right;
why do not these Governments imitate the examples of mild-
sess and toleration exhibited by the Roman Catholic clergy where.
ever they have power ; in France, for example, where they show
, their influence by the law of sacrileh-e, which every one must own
is full of evangelical weakness. The Germsn Governments may
! perceive all the benefits which accrue to Franz by the interference
' of the ecclesiastical power in the Government. the sacerdotal su-
premacy over the civil power ; but instead of causing their sub-
jects to partake in these benefits, they do all they can to prevent
their ever enjoying them ; they disdain the favour of the Court of
Rome, and do not even believe in the virtues of the Jesuits !
These heretic Princes deserve to be crushed by Rome and the
Holy Alliance • hut, unfortunately, heretics and schismatics form
a part of the dol.). Alliance, and the thunders of Rome no longer
overthrow governments; were it nit for that Protestant Germany
I would see Ike doings.

On Wednesday, at the moment when M. Ouvrard, Ex•Coo-
tractor.General for the army in Spain, was causing a door to be

Extract of a letter from Mis.solonghl, dated February 12 :
" The high post of Governor-General of Western Greece, which
Prince Alarrocordato so well filled for two years previous to his
being called to the direction of the foreign affairs of the Govern-
ment. has just been confided to a Junta. consisting of 12 Deputies
of the differ:tit free provinces of that pan of Greece under the Pre.
sidener of General Trongas. This Junta, after having nominated
its President. fixed the object of its labours by admitting the fol.
losing provisions :
" • 1. To examine whether the decisions of the Assembly held
last year at Mig.olonghi have been observed, and what those are
which have been neglected.
" • 2. To take into consideration the actual revenue of Western
Greece, and obtain an exact account of the sums which the Govern.
went has sent at different periods.
" • 3. To afford the means of facilitating the pay and victualling
of the troops.
" • 1. To deliberate upon a plan for ameliorating the administra-
tive system.
" • b. To take into consideration such of the petitions addressed
to the Assembly as may be found of general interest.' "

Accounts from Gibraltar, dated 14th ult. state that a
great scarcity of grain exists in the southern provinces of
Spain and in Barbary. Algesiras has been opened for the
importation of corn, and the probability of such an event
becoming general, as had the effect of raising the price of
every description of grain and provisions at Gibraltar ;
American Hour had advanced 20 per cent.
Letters frc,n Gibraltar are in town of the date of the
14th March. Wheat had risen there from 30 to Set reels
pt r fanega. The rise was owing to the anticipation that
wheat would be admitted into Spain, as, on account of th..
want of rain for soave time in that c3untry, it was expected
that there would be a scarcity in the Peninsula.

Letters from Madrid of 'the 2lst ult. state, that the
French Government have recently manifested a strong
desire to have some arrangement made of the debt due to
them by Spain, and which is said already to exceed 160
millions of francs, exclusive of the repairs of the fortifica-
tions at Barc-lona and Cadiz, and of the claims made by
individuals for injury to property done by the French
during the campaign, and which the Duke d'Angouleme
has promised to see paid. The dismissal of Ugarte, the
King's favourite, is in these letters ascribed to theiufluence
of the French Ambassador.

Letters from Constantinople of the 45th February, and
from Smyrna to the 3d ultimo, have been received. The

the freedom of the city to Henry Brougham, Esq. M.P. in
testimony of their admiration of his powerful and distin-
guished talents, exerted on many public occasions in behalf
of objects of important national interest ; and of the
pleasure they experience in reflecting, that, a native of
this city, he has ever shown the wannest zeal for its pros-
perity, and, a pupil of its High School and University, he
here laid the foundation, and exhibited the early indica-
tions of those varied literary and scientific acquirements
which have since so splendidly adorned his maturer years.

CARLIN., ELI:CTION.-Sir Philip hlusgrave, Bart. is
the only candidate for the representation of this city that
has canvassed the freemen. A gentleman, who calls him-
' self Alexander Nowell, has issued an address " To the
Independent Burgesses and Freeholders of the ancient
Borough of the City 51„,11inellitte,'-iffering his services;
but, save this address, we have neither heard nor seen any
thing from Alexander; iffiriver therefore conclude that the'
mighty pretensions of Sir Philip have frightened him from
the contest. The other candidate is Joseph Wilfred Par-
kins, Esq. ; and if his claim on the gratitude of the free-
men be not so well founded ea that of the worthy Baronet,
be at least has the confidence to suppose that he would re-
present them as well ; and as a proof of his usefulness and
great importance in s-ciety, the worthy Ex-Sin:riff says,
" that although his words and actions have been misrepre-
sented by the venal press. he has been honoured by the
personal approbation of' his Sovereign, before all his Nobility,
and at one of the fullest levees ever known ; but what was
more dear to him, he had received the thanks of thousands
for saving the lives of eleven innocent individuals." In
concluding, Mr. Parkins says, " he hopes that the money
expended by the candidates at the last election was not
employed for the purposes of bribery and corruption, but
for some such purpose as he spent the last few pounds in
Carlisle, when, in 1819, a time of scarcity, he fed four-
teen hundred individuals. And be not only pledges him-
self to do 50 again, should it be necessary, but ten times
as much—aye, even to the a.nount of 28.0001. (the sum
lie was informed the last contest cost Sir Philip) he would
expend for the benefit of his native city." Tin, eleotion is
proetaitned for ten o'clock of the morning of this day (Satur-
day).—Corlisle Jnurnte.
A claim to the Barony of Hungerford is, we understand,
about to be agitated by a gentleman, whose pretensions
revived the unction of the late Nugent Bell, together
with that of other gelicalo-ists. This title has been in
abeyance siuce the reign of Henry VIII., when the
last, Lord ilungerford eras beheaded on a charge of heresy
aunt witchcraft, preferred against him by that monarch.
The claims couipmee valuable entates held in eapite, and
amongst others Ilmigurfurd-markel, which liss long been
in a state of dilapidation.
