Psnts, Jut.," 12.—The Buonapartis's here have
put into circulation a report that Napoleon has been
poisoned, by a dianuaid pounded, by an Italian
Fiest. His death, it is said, had been resolved upon
at the Congress of Laybach, by the Allied Sove-
reigns, frightened at the revolutions breaking out
n all sides, and at the danger still threatening tliPm,
that on the least rupture between them, England
lvould set him loose upon Europe. The English
cabinet, it is added, consented to the proposal out of
fear at the progress of the Radicals, and from a desire
f saving the immense expenses incurred by support-
ing their illustrious prisoner. As a consistent sequel
to this story, it is added that the son of Buonaparte
is now unwell, and that his death must soon follow
—a circumstance that should not excite the asto-
ni,hment of men who understand political affairs.
At lost the decision of the Court of Peers is
haown, although it is not yet published. It has de-
clared that there was tio conspiracy, and that the
rtttended authors of the plot were only guilty of
:iditinus conversations. They will in cons:quence
be ecntlemned to five years imprisonment at the ut-
iy:.st : those who concealed them will of course be
ucqizittol.
Messrs. tie N'illele and Corbicres assure their friends
that they will send in their resignation at the end of
SL; session. _ _ _

The censorship has triumphal, and more insolent
ever. They arc ussurcd of their pay fbr five
six months more, and they are endeavouring to
xcreise their despotism more cruelly than cv...r. No
one doubts that the project will be adopted by the
Chamber of Peers.

M. de Chateaubriand will speak in favour of the
liberty of the press, and this hostile act on his part
may continue to change the strange position in
which the cote droll stands with respect to the ministry
The session will not terminate for a month to come.
JULY 14.—We have this evening received a
Madrid Gazette Extraordinary, dated the 7th inst.
which contains the fidlowing official article:—
An extraordinary courier, despatched from Lis-
ton, by the King's Charge d'alliiires to the Por-
tuguese government, has brought to the Spanish
government the following communication,dated the
4th inst.:— _ .

Yesterday, very early in the morning, a signal
was made that the Portuguese squadron was in
sight, and at 1 1 a m. the ship of the line John VI.
anchored in the port of Belem, and the other ships
of the convoy in succession, To-day, at noon, his
Majesty and the Royal Family landed with great
pomp, and proceeded to the cathedral, where a 're
Dom was sung. The King and his tinnily after-
wards entered the hall of the Cortes, where the
King took the Guth to maintain and observe the
constitutional bases decreed by Congress on the 9th
of May hut.
During this august and solemn ceremonial, the
most perfect tranquillity and good order prevailed.
AUGOURG, JULY B.—lntelligence arrived yes-
terday from Odessa, which gives reason to believe
that a rupture will shortly take place between Mts.',
t.la and the Porte. The Turks, by moderate mea-
sures and tithing proper advantage of their amicable
dispositions with tOrei.,o powers, might have avoid-
ed the evils which inena(-2 them ; but pursuing a
difkrent line of conduct, they have, with incon-
ceivable fury, committed excesses revolting to hu-

inanity.
Hundreds of victims have been massacreed in the
streets : and in pursuance of the orders of the Grand,
Seignor himself, who looked for the total annihi-
lation of the Greeks with impatience; the wives
and children of Christians have been embarked in
small vessels in detachments of 150 and 200, sent
to sea, and thrown into the abyss ut an appointed
signal. Coder these circumstances, the Russian
Ambassador, Baron Stragnoff, was once more taking
part in defence of humanity ; but the rage of the
barbarians knew no bounds, and the remonstrance
of the Ambassador remained fur three weeks unan-
swered, as if in defiance of the humane Russians.
On the 12th of June than Langeron, Governor
of Odessa, communicated to tin; commercial interest
it note addressed by Baron Strogonoff to the Porte,
relative to the violations of the treaties concluded
between Russia and the Ottoman Empire: he for-
mally protests against the measures adopted by this
flatter Power relative to commerce, and holds it res-
ponsible fur the lasses which the Russian inhabitants
may suffer. Another note, communicated on the
same day to the commercial body, announced the
measures proper to be taken to ascertain the losses of
Rthsian merchants in COIIM-VICIICC of the new step
of the Ottoman Porte. There was scarcely any
doubt of a speedy rupture between the two states,
when on the 18th further intelligence of the 14th
June arrived from Constantinople, which shows that
the Porte was no longer scrupulous in its conduct
tuwards the Russian Ambassador, and even that it
was its intention designedly to give him ()Ili:nee,
he repaired to Bujukdere. Innnediately after the
