PARIS, APRIL L.
We have reeeiverl private letters from Madrid, up to the 6.1 t of
this n:o ith. which do not mention a word of the disorders of
vine Lid Valencia. The violent party, whom the military aninosty
has disappointed, and who are still opposed to the civil amnesty,
spreads ircessantly fake rumours of insurrectiou, in Order to per-
aulde the Spanish Government that any measure which promises
indulgence or pardon is unpupuhir ; but the opinion ot the mode-
rate men, who detest revenge and reject proaciiption, will ulti.
mately prevail.
The Prince of Talleyrand came to pay his respects to his Royal
Highness Monsieur, on the occasion of the lath anbiversary of his
entrance into Park. His Excellency had a conference with his
/lova llighneas which lasted :en hour and a half.
Extract from &private lett.ir. dated %ante, 10th of March :
" IVe are •intoetned of the vain and lidflacinus attempts that are
to be resorted to again at the opening of the next campaign, in
order to replace the tircas under the yoke of the Ottomans ; but
the former are quite aware of the designs of their enemies. The
!Idiotic belongs no longer to the Sultan, suit will never consent, no
more titan the islands of the Archipelago, to pay him any tri-
bute whatsoever.

" The party of Coloentyoni has been ovcrhrown. and his

•• TheVegislative body, which was at Ilermiime, has removed
to Napoli, and the Members of the Executive Council who
belonged to the party of Calocotroni having been discharged,
have retired to Trip•olitra.
Lard Byron and Colonel Stanhope, who reside at Missolanghl,
continue making preparations for the siege of Lepanto. A large
vessel rent from London has lately arrimd, with a great quantity of
gunpowder, cannon, nineties, shells, balls, and other warlike stores.

des, and availed themselves' of a very dark night to scale the ram-
parts. We are indvbtcd for thin important transaction, of which
we expect the particulars, to the Archemaildrite, Zerbino, who
came from Taganroch last December. He had received 40,000
Talaria from Vareaki, a pea; nierchtutt established in that town of
Russia, which afforded him the means of raining volunteers, with
whom he has carried his undertaking into execution. This priest
has displayed in this circumstance much heroism and generosity.

They talk vaguely of a schism between the Porte and .Mehe-
toed Ali Pacha of F,gypt, and of the desire of a certain Power to
ace the throne of the ancient Sultans restored. It is almost certain
that the Sultan will not be able this year to fit out any flea. The
English. by declaring war against tile .ilgerines, are making a
powerful diversion in favour of the Greeks, for the Barbarians
I were tbe Only seamen which remained yet to the Sultan.

FARTS, APRIL 12.
There is a report afloat this evening, but we cannot vouch for its
authenticity, that, in consequence of the discussions that have taken
place respecting the evacuation of Madrid by the French troops,
the Lieut.-General COUOt Dourmont has been recalled, and su-
perseded by General Baron de de la ltafllniere.
kxtract from a private letter, dated Perpignan, April :it—
"' The new Captain-betters! of !!ataloota, the Marquis of
Campo Sacred°, has arrived in Barcelona, and assumed imme-
diately the command of the province, after having announced it by
a proelemstion which breathes wisdom and-moderation, and it is
generally believed that he wi'l be true to his promises. Baron
Irk:roles set out yesterday for Madrid. The wishes of all the in-
habitants of Barcelona are eatisfied, and it is honed that his suc-
cessor will radon order and reorganise the Admit.istration, which
is in the most complete state of anarchy." ,

PARIIL APRIL 12.
A rumour respecting some modification in the project of law for
the reduction of interest, was circulated on 'Change to-day. It is
reported that the Committee is to propose this modification, the
object of wleich would be to reduce the interest of only one-half
instead of one per cent., and to admit ctf,no exceptions but in favour
of the ittsaiptloos under 10 franca.' le is even affirmed that a
Deputy fat Paris, who belongs to the majority, is to support this
'amendment. We are rather inclined to believe that this is merely
an Exchange museum
We heat frau Frankfort that the principal hankers of that city
have repaint! to Paris, in order to aerertain what advantages they
may reap from their participation in the-great Ministerial opera-
tion on the French Bente*.
