According to the Echo du Midi Of the. 2:43th ult.
a column of Spanish insurgents, 5,000 strong, had
entered Puycerda. The Journal de Toulouse
gives the following extract of a letter .from the
.above town, dated the 23d ult. :'----" We are in
the greatest consternation, expecting to see OUT
town occupied by the Insurgents, who have seized
the fort of Seo d'Urgel. We are determined to
take refuge in France. 'lt is said that the Monk
of La Trappe has a great number of Swiss in his
army." The Echo also states, that General Poll,
Av ho was shut up in one of the forts of Seo d'Urgel,
had been delivered by the Royalists; it' is be-
lieved that he will put limself at the head of.the
Army of the Faith. A letter from Bayonne of
the 27th ult., says, " In consequence of a pro-
jected rising' at Azpectia, -17 men, 4 of them
curates, disembarked yesterday at Socoa, coming
from Guetany. This new band was beaten and
dispersed the same day. Quesada, it is said, re=
mains with the Apostolic Junta, at a village on
the extreme frontier of France. Horses, arms,
ammunition, &c. set out daily from St. Jean Pied
de Port, for that destination. A conspiracy was
set on foot by Quesada, for the purpose of seizing
Pampeluna and St. Sebastian,_ but which had"
been discovered by Sanchez Salvador,"—;A. letter

from Rochefort states, that there had been sent
'from that place and Rochelle several chests of

Letters from New York, which arrived yes-
.terday, announce the death of General Lefebvre
Desnouette; he was proceeding to England,
'under the name of Chabert, on board an Ame-
rican packet.- In consequence of a hurricane,
the General and 30 other passengers, including
one of his nephews, perished; -the crew alone
were saved.—(Journal des Debuts.)
If we may believe some letters from' Vienna,
which arrived on Tuesday, the place where the
next Congress is to be held is not yet fixed upon.
The Emperor of Russia, it is, said, did not appear
disposed to-proceed thither in persOn, having an-
-pounced his: intention of not quitting- his capital.

PARIS, JULY s.—Since the publication made
by the secret tribunal of the butchers, the Pari-

sians have been in hopes of causing the .A.dminis

tration. to take measures respecting this essential
artiele of their subsistence. We believe we may
..assure them that their hopes "will not be deceived,
_and we are certain that, previous to'.any public
discussion upon the subject, his. Excellency the
Minister of the Interior had referred to the Pre-
-feet of Police a: memorial and a project, having
for their object to reduce the profit of' the but-
- i:hers, so that it may.beara reasonable proportion
•to the price at which they purchase meat in the
. markets. We have therefore no doubt. that au
...anthority, as provident as paternal,
.will adopt
the necessary. measures .to obtain every possible
....amelioration respecting an object which 'so evi-
..deutly connects-itself with the public we lfare.—

(EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.}
VENIcE, JUNE 20.—Recent letters from Corfu furnish the
- following details.:—
Chourschid Pacha, at the head of 30,000 Ottomans, made
war upon the Souliotes. All the combats which have taken
place have been uniformly to the advantage of the brave'Sou-
hotes ; the latter having quitted their mountains, .precipitated
themselves .in the -night on the camp of the whom
they killed 6,000, took 700 prisoners, and carried off a great
quantity of provisions.
" Possares,. one of.the Chiefs of the Souliotes,: came lately,tn
the.Peloponnesus to request a reinforcement from the Govern-
ment of that Peninsula. Re went away with 6,000 Pelopernne-,
'signs—according to . some to. reinforce the.small number of his:
• awn, and accrrdinc, to.others to besiege Arta. • .
" Six Greek:vesselst besiege Prevesa, of Which the landen-
trance alone is open to Chourschid.- These, vessels prevent Aus-
tris.nand English merchant ships. from bringing provisions.
," In Peloponnesus affairs are every day improving. The
Government of that Peninsula has coined to the amount of
'
6,00,000 piastres. On one side of the coins, i the,_ figure of.
.Minerva and on the other the Cross. The same Government
has declared all the Turkish ports in -a state of -blockade. It
is in .virtue of that declaration that an Austrian vessel laden
with provisions, and proceeding to Patras, was detained and
confiscated. In consequence of this circumstance the Austrian
Government the day before yesterday prohibited all the mer-
chants of Trieste from henceforth sending provisions to the
Turkish ports. .
-":General Normand has quitted Peloponnesus; at the head of
,10;000 Hellenists, and marched on Zeitouni, where the Greeks
arc triumphing. ..
• " The Turkish sleet is at Tschemai, opposite Selo, between
the Greek and the French fleets. It. is said that the French
claim of the Turks the amount of 411 the losses sustained by
their merchants, in consequence of the satastrophe at Scio and
the disturbances at Smyrna.
" Although tht -general opinion is for peace, letters from
Odessa,`-worthy of credit, assure us that war will take place
between' Russia. and the Porte. .

"' We learn to-day that Napoli de Romania has surrendered
to the Cheeks.

" At the moment of sealing my letter, -I learn from my bro-
ther at Trieste, tliat one of the eighteen Scintes hung at Con-
' stantinople took refuge in the house of the English".AmbaSsa-
dor•; and that, -in spite of the earnest remonstrances of the
latter, the Greek. was forced from the hotel of the. ,Embassy,
and hung-at the gate.
.".The Porte has. appointed two iospodars—one of Wal-
lachia, and the other of Moldavia. . • •

This instant I have received seven letters frcan Corfu and
2,lissolonghi. following are the most important parts of
their contents

" The Greek fleet bas blown up three-Turkish frigates, and
one •ship of, the line, closely pursued by thelle,llenists., had run
on a sand-bank.

." In Beotia•tho Greeks-are.coveringtheniSelves with glory.
Zeitouni.has. fallen•into the power of Prince Demetrius
ilanti, .after, the Turks had sustained a very considerable
oss. •

from Zeitouni.

,'" A sanguinary battle has been lost, by the Turks, •on the
mountains of Agrapha; the Greeks remained the victors;
amongst the prisoners taken/by them are ,some Turks of dis-
tinction:"' - . -

,‘ ATX-LA-HAPELLE, JUNE 29.—A letter from Wilna, of
the-sth instant, written by a person worthy of credit, states that
the-Emperor was much occupied.. His Imperial Majesty had
summoned the most distinguished Generals of his armies, and
hid held.a Grand Council of War. A special messenger had
.bien'seni to the Mtiiister of War• at St. Petersburgh. This
letter haS
.the. following.. You,may bc 'assured that
great changes will immediately- take place in the positions
now occupied by the Armies Of the Pruth and the Danube.,
There is a talk, of ,concentrating considerable forces in :Bes.sa-
rabia.' • , • • . • •
" The intelligence of thesatastroPhe at Selo has producel
at Mosoniv, and Petersbuigh the most profound indignation.
This -sentiment is -..shared by. the troops,
.who burn with a
desire to :avenge the-blood of.'so many. Christians, who have,
fallen under the sword of.the Turks. The greatest enthusiasm.
indeed, prevails throughout the Russian empire, in favour of
the Greeks.". . • • -

NUREMBERG, JUNE 26.—Lotters from Poland

state that there had been a remarkable change in
the Russian Cabinet, and that.a complete change'

. ,
I n the -MinistiAill be the tiotessary consequence.
This change Afft.ciently eaplains that, which has
taken place n that RoSsi an policy. It is said
that M. De Ness'eltocle, who is the partisan of
an intimate union beLweett-Russia and Austria,
will -*main aliine charged with the direction
of the department of-foreign affairs, that M. de
Capo d'lstria quits the, foreign department, and
that. the persons who were in favour of Ivar with
the Porte follow his example. The authority for
this• intelligence rests only at present on letters
from Poland, but it appears to be more than pro-
bable from the events which have for some time
taken place. ,
Accoi•ding to letters from Brody of the 18th
June, nothing up to that period announced the
approaching retreat of the Turks fiom the two
Principalities. It is, on the contrary, certain
that the Ottoman troops have been reinforced.
Is that agreeable to Russia ? If so, the triumph
of the Porte will be complete.

AUGSBURG, JJNE 29.—Within the last week
we have had several private accounts of great
successes gainedbby the Greeks in Thessaly. The
most recent advkes which we received yester-
dpy not only conilrat these accounts, but furnish
a number of dertails, the result of which is that
three Turkish Corps wArmee have been succes.
sively defeated ;.tiamely, Chourschid Pacha at
Karditza, near. Trikala; by Diamantia ; the
Pacha of Salonica at Cara Veria ; and the Turk-
ish Corps a,Arnle..which was entrenched in the
environs of Larissa, and which had joined a de-
tached Corps of =Atte, Pacha of Salonica. This
last victory was gained on the 4th June, in the en.
virons of Zeitouni, by the Greek Corps united,
under the orders of Ypsilanti, Diatnantia and
Odysseus. By this, last victory the plan of
operations formed at Constantinople to effect the
subjugation of the Morea has entirely failed. The
Greeks are again masters of Thessaly, with the
exception of some forts and the town of Larissa.
We expect shortly the official bulletin, which
will doubtless be published by the provisional
Greek Government at Corinth.

It is reported that Chourschid Pacha has been
re-Called to Constantinople.

SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL.

. HAGUE' '..1.ux.y'3.-„-The Order of the Day was the discus-
sion of the .Project of LaW, for the Excise on-Beer and Vinegar
manufactured in the kingdom of,tbe'Netherlarids. The debate
vn thesubject,waS nOt.very long, all the speakers nearly being
in favour of the law ;hlii Rephini only saying he saw no ne-
cessity for changing the existing law, and unless the Minister
shOuld convince him that oudimecessity existed, he should vote
against-the project. (It seems the Minister did not convince
him, as he.yoted 'against it.) The Minister defended the law
Proposed, and replied to: several Members who requested ex-
planations- of certain articles. ,His Excellency spoke in Dutch,
which language not being understood by Mr. Duval, he
asked for explanation, in French, of some doubts, which he ex-
pressed.
The. Minister replied; that it seemed to him improper here in
the Hague,and in this-assembly, to use any other than the na-
tional language,, but he would willingly comply with the wish
of M. Duval and gave the explanation asked. •
On the question being put, there appeared 71 for the law and
14 against it.—lt was therefore, passed, and sent to the first"
Chamber.

The Committee of Petitions brought up a Report of several
petitions that had been referred to it. Among them were seven
;from the ioabitants.of Oberyssel and the other Northern-Pro-
vinces, requesting that measures may be taken to relieve agri-
culture.
