SUNDAY, APRIL. O.
-.1.--

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday
last, They speak of the continued increase of the
Greek insurrectionary army,under Prince Yysalante,
.nd of the deep interest which the Greeks in gene-
ral take in this attempt to restore their country to
the enjoyment of freedom. The Porte does not
seem to have made as yet any military demonstra-
tions against the revolutionists, but has contented
itself with cutting off the heads of some of the prin-
pal Greek inhabitants of Constantinople, by way of
retaliation for the massacre of the Turks at Jessy
and other places. Such a proceeding is not less
impolitic than brutal ; but what else could be ex-
pected from the besotted stupidity of a man bred in
the seraglio, and habituated to scenes of cold-
blooded murder ? Nothing can be more effectual
than such conduct in making the cause of the In-
surgents national with the Greeks. The Porte will
not only not allow any of that nation,to be neutral,
but it even compels them to throw themselves into
the ranks of its enemies.

A Royal Decree, dated the 4th instant, has been
made public ; accotding to which 40,000 men of
the class of 1820 are to be called out. The distri-
bution of these 40,000 men among the departments
is established by a table annexed to the decree.—
The commencement of the operations of the councils
will tale place on the 25th June, and the clnsing►
of the list of the contingent on the Ist Sep-
tember. It will be decided subsequently at what
period the 40,000 men called out from the class of
1820 will be brought into active service, as well as
the mode of their distribution among the corps of
the army.

We most sincerely and sympathetically condole
with the friends of religious liberty on the decision
which has taken place in the House of Lords on the
Catholic Emancipation Bill; but we must remem-
ber that the fulfilment of our wishes is only post-
poned, for, in tile course of nature, Lord. Eldon,
who is now 71 years of age, cannot remain here
long, and we consider his influence as having
effected the defeat of the present Bill—as soon,
therefore, as he shall be quietly consigned to the
tomb (and we fear not till then) will justice be done
to our Catholic fellow-subjects.

The question of reform has been brought forward
by Mr. Lambton, and his idea upon the subject goes
no farther than (and we think not so far as) might
be effected with perfect safety to the Constitution,
yet the ministerial hangers-on rose in full cry to op
pose it. An adjournment of the debate took place,
and it was resumed on Wednesday night—while,
however, Mr. Lambton, Mr. Brougham, and a great
many other of the supporters of it, had retired to take
some refre►hment, Ministers pressed the House to a
premature division, and the motion was lost by a
majority of 12. The Hon. Member will, doubtless,
bring it forward immediately under some other form,
and then we hope he may suceeed. The people feel
they ought to have a Reform—they seem determined
to have a Reform, and we are convinced that the
