The Paris Papers of Friday contain but little intelligence
worthy of notice. The Opposition Journals profess to be
much alarmed at a suggestion thrown out by the Etoile
that the Chamber of Deputies would do well to follow the
example of the Chamber of Peers, and restrict to the 1110-
inear the right of publishing its proceedings. The Char-
ter certainly declares that the Sittings of the Upper Cham-
ber shall be secret, and those of the Lower Chamber
pa:die ; but the Charter also declares that the Deputies
L, ail be elected for five years, in such manner that each
year one-fifth of the whole shall be ren.:wed.
Monaeur, in the non-offizial part, says, that the
length and importance of the debate in the Peers relative
to the Budget, prevents its giving an account of the fetes
on the KING'S return to the capital. It therefore only
en the address of the Prefect ; and his Majesty's reply,
which is merely expressive of his love for his subjects, his
sense of the duties imposed on him, and his resolution to
discharge them to the best of his power.
The newa from Greece is quite decisive of the success of
the Patriots in the Mores. Ina/mist PACKS, it appears,
has oared to capitulate, on condition of giving up the for-
tresszs of Coron and Modon, but the Greeks are not wil-
-hag to suffer him to escape on such easy terms. He was
completely hemmed in by M c aware Is •Li s and BOZZ an,
and would be obliged soon to surrender at discretion. ThS
traitor Oarsszos, abandoned by his soldiers, it was ex-
pected would share the fate of COLOCOTRI xi and the otLer
factious chieftains. The defeat of RIDSCHID PAcka. at
Ana tolico, and the burning of the Egyptian fleet on the night
of the Ic.ith of May, are confirmed beyond all reach of doubt.

Direct accounts from Arts say that 1.200 or 1,500 wounded, the
remains of the army of Rerlschid Peel's, had arrived there. As soon
as the troops of the Pacha of Saluniehi learnt the defeat of the
Seraskier, at Anatolie°, they dispersed. All the leuers from the

The following is the Speech addressed to the King by the Duke
of Northumberland, on delivering to his Majesty the Order of the
Garters—
" With the good pleasure of your Majesty—l have the honour
to bays been chosen by my Gracious Master, and to be placed at
the bead of a Commission charged 's) invest your Majesty with the
habits and insignia of the Matt Noble Order of the Garter, an
Order which was worn. hire, by Henry IV. of France, of whom
your Majesty is so legitimate and worthy a descendant.
6." The wish of the King, my Master, Sire, is, that by the in.
ecription of your Majesty's name on the list of this most ancient
Ordsr, the bonds of friendship may (it is possible) be drawn closer
between yes, and that conjointly with the political relations, and

the ties of private friendship, your Majesties may be equally
united by the mutual obligations of fraternity and knighthood."

ZANTE, MAT 4.
The following is a sketch of the news relative to the operations
of the Greeks and Turks in the south of the Peloponnesus, from
the 20th of April to the 2,1 May. Ibrahim Pacha, atter two inef-
fectual amanita on Navarino, became enraged at having lost 1,500
men, and the renegade Colonel Sevc, surnamed Solintan Bey. He
ordered three batteries to be raised, and played them upon the town
during the 23d, 24th, and 25th days of April. On the evening of
the latter de, he suceeded in demolishing an entire facade of the
place he so earnestly desired to take, in which event he intended to
put the whole garrison to the sword. Joy reigned in the camp
of the Turks, and Ibrahim Pacha had already announced to his
father the capture of Navarino and the conquest of the 51orea.
This was ascertained by means of intercepted letters which the
Paella had confided to an American Captain; hut what was his as-
tonishment when next morning he perceived that the Greeks, not cast
down by their misfortune, hail during tight raised a new rampart
with sacks filled with earth. By means of this service, which totally
precluded any thoughts on the part of the enemy of an open attack,
they in two days and nights not only had a solid wall, but also
casements and blinds to shelter their auk, their ammunition, and
provisions from the fire of the bombs. On the 27th the garrison
received a reinforcement of 400 men, drawn from the island of
Sisachtaria, of which Captain Anagnostarss has the command, and
also more than 150 cannnie:s, furnished from four Hydriot brigs
watering in the port. The besieged then began to make sorties,
and on the 28th had slain more than 300 men. On the same day,
Titmice, at the head of a body of Greeks, appeared on the '
heights of Mount Thematia, or St. Nicholas. Signals were
interchanged, and Ibrahim began to think that it was time
to raise the siege; but it was too late, blocked up behind by
Peter Maesomiehalis and Constantine &emits, he could no longer
retreat to Coron or Modon, which•were his places of refuge ; he was
therefore obliged to retire to a position, where he is at present en-
trenched, greatly cramped for room, withl very limited resources.—
The Greek forces, by the arrival of Alexander 31avrocortlato at
Navarino, amount to 17.080 men, commanded in chief by Con-
stantine Boner's. who has for counsellors and companions in arms
the aged Peter 3lauromichalis, Anagnostaras, Conduriattis, and
a crowd of Chiefs as enlightened as they are brave. Mavrocordatn,
after having seen to the safety of Navarino, bas returned to the Greek
camp, where his presence is required to receive the propositions for
a capitulation which have been made by Ibrahim Pachs. It is said
that he offers to yield up Coron and slodon, but it is not likely
that he will be let off so easily : the assassin who breke his sworn
faith to the Ipasriuts at the latter end of last campaign, ought to
expiate his crime with his head. It may, however, happen, that he
will be spared, in order to extort a large ransom. V hatever turn
affairs may take, whether Ibrahim-Paths capitulates, or whether
by an impossildlity he shotild be relieved by the Capltan.Pacha, it is
probable that he will never again see Egypt. In a very short time
the event will be determined. Odysseus abandoned by all his
soldiers is wandering in the forests of Mount Psrnassus; and it
cannot be long before he will meet the same fate as Colocotroni and
of all those who wish to range themselves under the sovereignty
of the Porte. in order to become Greek Iloapodars, and oppress
their fellow citizens with impunity.

' Last night we received the Amsterdam papers of Satur-
day. They contain extracts from the Turkish paper, the
Oriental Spectator, according to which the Egyptian ex-
pedition was quite successful up to the Bth of April. By
later and more authentic acoounts, however, it appears
that the fleet which had left Motion to return to Candia
for reinforcements was completely defeated on the 12th of
May, with great loss. This is the victory we exclusively
announced on Wednesday last. Our letters represented
it to have taken place on the 30th of April, which, in our
style, correspcnds with the date assigned in the Dutch
Journals. 111114111131 NCHa is unquestionably in a situa-
tion of great peril, and we think can hardly avoid falling
into the hands of the Patriots. We subjoin from the
Allgemeine Zetting, of the sth of June, the extract to
which we allude.

TRITATt, MAY 26.
Yesterday evening we received news from Corfu of the 16th of
this month, according to which the Egyptian fleet that had left
Modon to sail to Candle, experienced on the 12:h of April a severe
defeat, which may have great influence on the fate of Ibrahim
Puha. Ibrahim made preparations to leave the Mores. The
Greek squadron expected him in the open sea to attack his fleet,
winch is completely disorganised. The Egyptians, however, did
not sustain even the first attack, but hastened to retreat to Al odon.
The Greeks pursued them closely, which caused such vest confu-
sion, that it was easy for them to capture a great part of the ships,
and to blow up others with their tire-ships. Captains of European
merchantmen who have arrived at Corfu, and were at a great dis-
tance from both fleets, affirm, that in the night of the 12th May they
beard a dreadful explosion ; that the fire nf the burning vessels was
so great, that mountains of the Morea were as visible as at noonday.
Letters from Zatite of the 14th May confirm the above accounts, and
add, that notwithstanding the efforts of Miaulis, some ships of the
Egyptian division that lately sailed from Candia to I brshim's succour
haJ got in to Alorlon some days before the above catastrophe. The ce-
lebrated Canaris is said in thee to have made the attack with the fire
ships, by which, as a favourable sirocco was blowing at the time, 41
ships were destroyed near Sapienza, and the tire was driven into the
harbour of Modon. It was believed at Zante that Ibrahim Pants
is in a most critical situation in consequence of these events. The
first news of them was brought to Zante by three half-burnt Euro-
pean transports which fled to that island. Other private letters say
that several Turkish ships had fled towards Navarino; but were,
there likewise burnt.

By the ceotations of the Paris Stock Exchange on
Friday, it appears that the Spanish Bonds had advanced to
18. To what cause this improvement should be ascribed
is to us altogether a matter of pure conjecture. Possibly
the terms of the new Loan may not be unknown to every
body there, though it may please the contractors to keep
the secret here for a few days. Some of the papers, we
observe, continue to talk of the conclusion of a Loan
with the Dutch capitalists. This we have already stated
is entirely a mistake. The negotiation, or rather the at-
tempt to negotiate with Holland, had no success what-
ever. FEE)! N• ND was compelled to close with the °Sirs he
had received from London. We expected that the public
would, ere this, have been fully informed as to the par-
ticulars of this contract ; but it seems, we must wait, yet,
some time longer, till those who have the information,
chuse to communicate it. They unquestionably are'the
parties most deeply interested, and they can hardly be
blamed in a transaction of au+ moment to themselves, for
acting to the end upon the same systetn of secrecy on
which they have proceeded throughout this important
negotiation.

We have elsewhere given the substance of the proceed-
inp at the Aggregate Meeting of the Milt Catholics on
Wednesday last. Our abstract includes the speeches of
Mr. O'Cox NFL!. and Mr. SHELL, and the principal reso-
lutions descriptive of the present feelings and future pro-
jects of the Catholics. The speeches possess no feature of
peculiar interest. They arc precisely in every respect what
we expected. The resolutions constitute a document of
some importance. In the first place the Catholics resolve
to petition Parliament for "full and utignslifietl emancipa-
tion." An attempt was made by the discarded Deputy
LAWLESS to obtain from the meeting a formal declaration
that the Catholics were opposed to the provision for their
Clergy and to the regulation of the Elective Franchise ;
but this luckless demagoitue found no one willing to sup-
port him is the disclaimer he wished to put upon record.
The Catholics, it may therefore now be fairly said, bare at
least tacitly consented to these measures. The Resolutions
that proceed, rather ludicriously it must be confessed, to
pronounce that the Earl of LivEaroot. and "a powerful
party in :he Cabinet" arc unworthy of remaining in office,
because they are adverse to the Catholic claims, and that it
is the duty of the Catholics " to use all constitutional
means to remove that party fiotn the councils of the
KING." General meetings are to be held in each province
of Ireland, within a fortnight after the termination of the
Summer 'Circuit, is order " to express the sense of the
