FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

al'thßlD, MAY 19.—Yesterday there was au
after sitting of the Cortes, in which,
vver a long debate, it was decided, that the Pro.
places, which are at present in insurrection, and
tilt.ticularly Catalonia, shall be declared in a
otbte of siege. This measure extends to every
be er Province where the same movements may
(manifested.—(Quotidienne.)
11,,tntyu, Apaff. 26.—The Porte, during the
uisturbances up to the end of last summer,
ltnnifested an almost passive character, but at
1 sal advised by its friends, it prepared during
to whiter considerable force by land and sea,
a ,striko a decisive blow. Two laud armies and
tic:°osiderable fleet were to combine their opera.
t to annihilate the insurrection. This well
ci;ed plan the Sultan owed to the friendship of
Europeans. It was known here two
t tos before its execution, and our protectors
Pliauded beforehand its succtibs.
toil ut all this force served only to raise the
m;raiqe of the Insurgents. The combined fleet
41:3 uPfrated and dispersed at Patras, the land
13°',11,1" Macedonia was completely defeated the
kebruary, and its commander killed, whilst
°llrsch id Pacha has not been able to leave Janina.
i k
\III 1,4 e insurrection then extended through the
Pe of Thessaly, and a part of Macedonia.
ba't a later period a Greek squadron disern-
a"d ammunition for the Insurgents in the,
thY of Litochoron, and the Chief of the Thessa-
. - r
throops took a position near Caterine, which
of actia of Salonica was unable to force, and
later two defeats was obliged to return to Sa-
liica.
ea/,Tile Porte has raised a new and dangerous
Sc,,ul,,Y in the person of l‘lolistai, Pacha of
d,ra, whom the Sultan has proscribed and
to-ard out of the law, because he was unable
ei,;!narch against Ali Pacha. This powerful
ti ref has seized the important position of Och.

5 which commands Bitolia.
I'e following are some details respecting
sta, the
'e of affairs in Epirus :
Choursehid Paella has made two appeals to the Albanians,
Zable of bearing arms, to march against the rebel Rayas and
execrable Illuscoz,ites, the first ?hovers of the rebellion. The
Albanians have replied that they, cannot abandon their own
"lultry.
tiOr,S4 Thomas Maitland, who, notwithstanding his dedara-
tio44,,- of entraiity favours directly and openly all the opera-
'lronof the Turks, has found means to send off the Greek squa-
whicb':ll"er the pretext of their conduct at Santa Maura, but
ere, I_lB denied by the Greeks. It is more strange still, how-
itito':,,uat the flag-of truce sent by the Greek Navaret to enter
by Sn.".„ex,Planation with the lonian Government was detained
and Thomas Maitland, in violation of the rights of nations,
1,_•1 sent back long afterwards without an answer. I
,-Le Greek squadron, however, having disappeared, C iour-
offstheracha renewed his appeal to the alliances, who now threw
is ad, 'flask, and demanded payment of arrears, and payment
ti‘et ajlee. The Albanian Chiefs, much to their honour, have
thaet—"lled to resist the order for massacring the Christians in
ie; Province sent by the Porte to Chourschid Pacha, and the
tell',, "
,Paramythia has declared, that if the head of an Irmo-
-14; ;,11ristian falls, he will join the Souliotes against the Turks.

We received the Paris Papers of Wednesday
this morning, and subjoin a translation of the
last Note of the Porte to the English Ambas-
sador and the Austrian Internuncio from the
Journal des INbats. It will be seen that this
Note is in substance, as we before stated, only a
repetition of the Note of the 28th February, di-
vested of its offensive expressions against the
Emperor of RUSSIA ; but i❑ reality it does not
place the relations between Turkey and Russia
on a more pacific footing than they were at
the close of February. The Porte does not
grant a single concession, and repeats its de-

termination to persevere in its present ob-
noxious conduct until tranquillity shall be re-
established : but as it is obvious enough that
tranquillity cannot be restored in the East of
Europe without the extermination of the Greek
nation, is it to be imagined that the Powers,of
Europe will become passive spectators of the
atrocities, to which the prosecution of that measure
must give birth ? Our opinion on this point is well
known, and a few days will decide the question.

" ODESSA, MAY 5.—( Extract of a Private Letter.)—sire
have just received from Constantinople the following docu-

ment:--

"'Translation of the Note of the Sublime Porte, transmitted
to the Ambassador of England and the Austrian Inter-
nuncio, the 26th Kedjel, 1237, (18th April, 1822).

" The constant care which the Sublime Porte has always
employed for the maintenance of concord with Russia. and the
preservation of general peace, are too well known not to render
superfluous every declaration on this subject, it has already
given evident proofs of its scruples in respecting the engage-
ments which it contracted with its true friends. It renews in
the present the assurances which it gave in the preceding Note
(that of the 28th February), relatively to the affairs of the two
principalities, that is to say, that it repeats now what it has al-
ready said, that it is firmly resolved to respect every engage-
ment which it formerly contracted, as soon as tranquillity shall
be re-established (which will take place shortly, as it hopes),
and that it has not ceased to occupy itself with the means
which are the most proper for the accomplishment of its pro-
mises.
" With the view of shewing to all Europe the religious
scruples, the sincere desires of the Sublime Porte to execute
the Treaties, it has already taken the necessary r-leasures for
the re-establishment of tranquillity in the two principalities;
but some interior troubles do not permit the development at this
moment of the nature of these 'measures. However it declares
officially to friendly and well-disposed powers, that it has really
commenced putting them in execution, and that it will not
cease holding this course, in which it will direct itself accord.
