The French Papers which arrived last night
contain accounts of the reception of the Duke of
NOItTIitiMBIERLAND by the King of FRANCK. All
the honours usually offered to Ambassadors Ex-
traordinary were extended to the Duke. Three
of the Royal carriages, filled with Officers of
the Court, proceeded to his Grace's Hotel, and
returned with three other carriages, containing
the Ambasgador and his suite. The Kura re-
ceived his Grace sitting on his Throne, and sur-
rounded by his Officers of State. The following
is extracted from the Monitcur of Friday last :

PARIS, MAY 12. •
To-day. after Mass, his Excellency the Duke of Northum-
berland, Ambassador Extraordinary from his Britannic Ma.
jesty, to be present at the King's Coronation, was presented to
his Majesty and the Royal Family in a public audience.
The Duke of Ragusa, Major-General of the Royal Guard,
whom his Majesty had appointed to accompany the Ambassa-
dor, Baron La Live, and M. de Vitiens, hating repaired to his
Excellency's hotel, conducted him to the Tuileries in the Royal
carriages.

The Marquis Dreux Breze, Grand Master of the Ceremonies
of France,. Marquis de Rochemore, Master of the Ceremonies,
and Baron Saint Felix and Viscount de Geslin, received the
Ambassador at the foot of the grand staircase, and accompanied
him to the audience.

The Marquis de Riviere, Captain of the Garden du Corps,
received his Excellency at the door of the apartment of the
Gardee, who were under arms.
The King was on his throne and the Dauphin on his right
hand, and on his left the Duke of Orleans and the Duke of
Bourbon, Prince of Conde, and surrounded by the great officers
of the CrOwn.

At the entrance -of the-Ambassador the King rose, and his
Excellency having been presented to the King by Baron La
Live, complimented his Majesty in these terms :
" Sir,—l. have the honour to appear before your Majesty,
charged with felicitations from the King my master on the ap-
proach of your Majesty's Coronation.
" In expressing-the most ardent wishes for the prosperity of
your Majesty, the King my master is equally induced by his
generous principles, and by a cherished remembrance of a
private friendship.
" I have also the orders of my King to express to your Ma-
jesty the wish which he constantly feels for the maintenance of
the good understanding which exists between the two nations,
and which is as essential to their mutual interests as to the
general happiness of mankind."
After hi* compliment the Ambassador presented his creden-
tials to the King, who gave them to Baron de Darnas, Mini-
ster of Foreign Affairs.
The King replied
" 51. le Ambassador—l receive with the snore pleasure the
expression of the sentiments which you address to me in the
name of his Britannic Majesty, as they are perfectly in unison
with my own. I shall always remember with gratitude the
proofs of friendship which he gave me in times of misfortune.
I hope that no circumstance—no event, will ever trouble the
union which ought to prevail between two nations made to
esteem and to love each other."
The audiences of the King and the Royal Family being
finished,
the Ambassadors, and thence to his hotel, with the same cere-
his Excellency was conducted back to the saloon of
monies as were observed in conducting him to the audience.
The [hereditary Prince of Schwartzenburg Sondushausen was
presented to the King and Royal Family in a private audience.
At two o'clock the King gave a pa blic audience to Sidi Alah-
mouth, Envoy of the Bey of Tunis, who complimented his
Majesty on his accession, and delivered his credentials. The
same day the British Ambassador Extraordinary dined in the
apartments of the Dauphin, at a table of 45 couverfs
( Prom the Etuile, dated Saturday, May 14.)
The Marquis de Caraman arrived at Milan on the 29th; the
Prince de Ilaefeld the same day ; on the 2d of May M. de Ta-

tischeff and Sir 11. Wellesley. The Ministers of Denmark and
Sweden, and in general all the persons holding diplomatic
situations at Vienna, are arrived or expected every moment, as
well as the Duc tie Illneas, who was at Florence a few days ago.
The Emperor will beat Mtmza on the Bth, and make his entry
into Milan on the 10th. Workmen are employed night and
day in decorating the'principal streets through which his Ma-
jesty will pass. On the 13th the Emperor and his household
will go to meet the King of Naples.
The companies of Life Guards of the Archduke Viceroy, the
Noble Guard of Lombardy, consisting of sixty men, a complete
Regiment of Lancers and Hussars, two of Grenadiers, and two
of Foot, 10,000 men, form the escort. The city will be illumi-
nated, as well as all the theatres.

On his arrival the Emperor will proceed to the cathedral,
when the Archbishop will chaunt " Fe I►eum."

(From ihr Courier Franaire of Friday, May 13.)
A private letter from ?Ante, dated the 16th of April, con-
tains the fidlowing details

" The army landed between Motion and Coron, by Ibrahim
Pacha, was 12,000 strong, who immediately after the debarka-
tion directed their course t,) Navarino. Five hundred Greeks shut
up in that place, sustaineil the first attack of the Turks, directed
by European officers. Two thousand Mainotes marched up to the
relief of the besieged, and (headed by their General, Murtzino)
obliged the Turks to draw back upon Modon and Coron. At
the same time 35 Greek vessels, under the conduct of the Vice-
Ashniral Sactouris, set out in search of Ibrahim Pacha, who
withdrew with his fleet towards Candia, to which place the
Greeks have pursued him.
"At the first reports of landing of the Turks, the President
Conduriottis sent A naguostara, with 4,500 men, to takepossession
of the most advantageous positions. Conduriotts himself marched
i from Tripolitza, with ,500 Greek. Anagostara joined the
Mainotes and then fought the Turks near Navarino; 2,000 Turks
were slain on the field of battle, and 500 prisoners have been sent
to Napoli de Romania. Conduriottis soon afterwards came up
with hie troops, and joining the other Greeks, they pursued the
Turks, who took refuge in the defiles of Garouni ; but any later
events are unknown. The Wit; of Nestor again smiles on the
conquering (=reeks. On the lit of April, the Admiral Miaulis
sailed frtim the port of Hydra with 45 vessels, in order to meet
the fleet from Constantinople.

German Papers, which arrived last night, con-
tradict the intelligence of the taking of Navarina
and Calatnata, by InttAtttst PActiA. On the
contrary, it is affirmed that the PAcII.A contents
himself with throwing up entrenchments in his
position between Coron and Motion, and waiting
for more troops and supplies, and in preparing
his army for long and fatiguing marches. The
naval force of the insurgents in the ports of Hydra
and •Spezzia. is estimated at 30 armed vessels,
and Ll. fireshipt. No action had taken place up
to the 20th of March. Amongst the extracts
from the French Papers is another version of the
landing of Init./tint between Motion and Coron.
The following article-is taken from the Austrian
Observer of the 3d May t
CONSTAWTINOTLX, MAT 11.
The second division of the Egyptian fleet of 56 ships, with
about 5,000 men on board, sailed froin Suda the 13th of March,
and, without being molested on the voyage by Greek vessels,
landed on the 16th between Coron and Motion. As soon as
the troops were landed the fleet sailed on the 20th for Modon,
and was on the 24th near the island of Candia, where soon after
a division of 25 Greek vessels appeared to observe its motions.
This is probably the same flotilla, the sailing of which for
Hydra, on the 17th March, was announced in the Journal of
that place on the 18th. The entire naval force of the insur-
gents, which at the latter end of March was ready to sail in the
ports of .llydra and Spezzia, is stated by an eye-witness' who
lately arrived it Smyrna, to amount to 36 armed vessels and
11 fire-ships.
The report spread here just before the departure of the last mail,
that Ibrahim l'acha, immediately after the first landing, had sent
a division of troops to Nayarino, and taken possession of the port
and fortress, while another division had advanced against Ca-
lamata, is not confirmed, but the Porte has on the contrary re-
ceived positive information that Ibrahim Pacha contents him-
self for the present with entrenching himself in his position be-
tween Coron and Modon, and waiting for more troops, ammu-
nition, and provisions, mean time constantly exercising his_
troops, and preparing them for long and fatiguing marches.—
Except a few insignificant skirmishes' in which a few prisoners
were made on both sides, no action ,had taken place up to the
20th of March between the Egyptians and the Greeks in the
Mores.

[The Hydra Journal of the 18th of March, confirms this.
—We may judge of the tale told by the Journal des Debats of
21st April, under the head of /,ante, 13th March, stating that
4,000 Egyptians had been cut to pieces on the 28th February.
—Note of Austrian Obv,Tver.]
Nothing is certainly known here of the military arrange.
ments made by the Greeks to oppose the progress of Ibrahim
Pacha. There is no doubt that Concluriottt is appointed COM..
mander-inChief by sea and land ; but some accounts say that
the Government at Napoli, at the desire of the troops, had
offered the command of the troops to Colocotroni, who had re-
fused it, unless all the other chiefs confined with him at Hydra
were released, and the Runteliots under Goura sent out of the
Peloponnesus, a demand which, for evident reasons, was reject-
ed by the ruling party.
We are equally without information, as to the motions of
the Seraskier, Reschid Pacha, and of the Paella of Negropont,
who it is known, has been joined by Odysseus. On the 27th
of February, Thebes and Athens were alarmed at the approach
of a corps of 2,000 Albanians, but it soon appeared that they
were going from Zeitocini by way of Mola, and Talanta to
Negropont, to strengthen the garrison of that place. In ge-
neral it seems that the operations will not begin with energy,
and on a combined plan, till the Seraskier of Albania shall have
advanced as far as the Gulf of Lepanto, which has hitherto
been prevented by the long-continued severe weather, and the
deep snow that has fallen on those mountains.
The first division of the fleet equipped here sailed to the Dar-
danelles on the sth of the month, under the command of Niala
Bey (Vice-Admiral) Tahir Bei. Since then a corvette has been
launched, and while the works in the docks and the arsenal
are urged forward with all possible activity, sailors continue to
be pressed, to man the vessels intended to join the fleet.

Letters from Stockholm are contained in the
German Papers above mentioned. By these
Letters it appears that Sweden is anxious to
render tardy justice to the Spanish American
Provinces by recognizing. their independance;
indeed they go so far as to say they have enter-
tained the intention ever since the year 1811,
Why has she not done so ? and thus rendered
the recognition a little less equivocal, We give
the followng extracts :

STOCKHOLM, APRIL 29.
Count Lowenhjelm and suite sets out this morning to attend
the Coronation of the King of France.
_ _ _

A French Paper says, Sweden recognised the independence
of the South American States three years ago. It has done
more ; for it declared its intention of recognising them already
in 1811, when the whole Continent was governed by Napoleon,
and was acknowledged King of the Indies by all the European
Powers except England. This is proved by the report made at
the beginning of 1812 by the Crown Prince to the King, on the
administration of the Government during his illness, in which
are the following words :
" When Spain and Portugal are restored to tranquillity,
these countries will offer to the Swedish trade all the advantages
which the perfection of the Swedish iron ensures. Our rela-
tions with South America are entirely intercepted • intestine
wars desolate those fine countries. When they shall have a
stable government, the production of the kingdom must meet
with an extensive sale there."

It is now nearly two years since the Government, persisting
in its system of neutrality and independence, gave notice that
the flags of the South AMerican States in the ports of which
Swedish ships were well received, should have the same recep-
tion in our ports. Now that these fine countries are no longer
desolated by intestine war, and have a stable government, we
hope that ours will put us in possession of the advantages,
which the trade with them must afford.—(Stockholm's Porten.)

M. ItivADAvr article from TA:
Times of this day, among the extracts from the
Morning Papers, is so just a tribute to the per-
sonal merit 'of this gentleman, and so fairly
records the services which he has rendered to his
country, that we feel much pleasure in admitting
it into our Paper. We have had the pleasure of
knowing M. RIVADAVIA several years, and we
can heartily subscribe to every homage that can
be paid to his intellectual powers, to his sound
and general knowledge, to his enlightened judg-
ment, and to the purity of his patriotism. He
will leave this country with the regret of all who
know him, and be received in his own with all the
due honours of national gratitude and justice.

PORTSMOUTH, MAY 14.
The following letter reached us this mortling
(via Otranto) from our Correspondent employed at the lonian
Islands, dated so late as the 14th ult. :

-6' Court', 15Tii APRIL, 1823.
" When it is considered, tat even here it is next to impos-
sible to procure any thing like accurate intelligence, relative to
the proceedings between the Greeks and Turks, it may perhaps
be satisfactory to he enabled to state, on the authority of an eye-
witness, the following recent occurrences : —ln the latter end of
March 17,000 Egyptian troops were landed at Motion, from ves-
sels chiefly under Austrian colours, which had been conveyed
from the port of Lerida, in Ca:idia, by a Turkish squadron of
11 sail, under the commend of an Admiral. About the same
time this squadron threw supplies of provisions and military
stores, into the fortresses of Patrass and Coron, and thus,
effectually relieved the only strong holds which the Turks
at present possess in the Morca. A t Patrass, I was told, in the
beginning of this month, that Trelawny, who, with Odysseus.
lately deserted from the Greeks, had joined the garrison ot
Lepanto. Trelawny is the same person who, some three years
ago, accompanied Lord Byron as the voluntary and disinterested
champion of liberty and of Greece; but it seems that the weight
and solidity of some arguments recently advanced by the
Turks quite convinced this Phil. Hellenist, as well as his worthy
compeer, Odysseus, that they had espoused the wrong cause :
where shall we find
a term- mean enough to designate, in art
Englishman, such a despicable apostacy ? On the 7th instant
two of our ships of war visited Navarin, the amcie.nt Pylus, the
kingdom of the venerable Nestor—

" That sacred seer, whose comprehensive view,
" The past, the present, and the future knew."
" The modern Pylians, at this moment, stands in great need
of a little of the warlike wisdom of their immortal progenitor.
Navarin is situated about fifteen miles to the northward of
Modon, and possessed of an excellent harbour, which renders
it a place of some importance to the Greeks ; at the above date
its town was closely invested by 9,000 Turkish troops, who were
keeping up a desultory fire from two batteries, the nearer of
which was raised at the distance of about 700 yards from the town
walls, on which it had made a perceptible impression ; the citadel
of the town returned their fire with great spirit ; several shots
passed over the English ships which were beating into the
harbour. Four Greek men of war had just arrived from
Napoli de Romania, and brought a very seasonable supply of
shells and ammunition. The Greeks seemed in the highest
spirits, and were quite communicative; they had lately re-
ceived a reinforcement of 1000 men—the garrison now consisted
of 1,600 men. The Turks had- been bombarding the town
for the preceding ten days, but had done little or no da-
mage, while the had made several sorties, and killed. great
numbers; they also confidently assured the English Officers
that 15,000 Greeks were not more than four hours dis-
ltaatnet
thefr o niN
Turks,a v rainn
d, wtoi t
oh b wt
ahbol siemassistanceotfh e
llodo!cid tbeforeo ans, hi-
end of the month.—" Audi alteram portent." On the very
same day the Turks at Modon asserted, that they were in
hourly expectation of the return of the Turkish squadron
from Candia, with 60,000 men, who, in the end of
March last were left at buds, ready for embarkation, with
whom they intended to Starch over the Alorea, and rid the
world of those Grecian dogs, whom they had suffered too long
to disgrace the face of the earth.—Such was the information
procured on the spot, the threats of each party respectively, were
mere'sounds and fury signifying nothing," although both
parties deserve full credit for the malignity of their intentions,
which, there is no doubt they would instantly fulfil, could it be
done without personal risk or bodily exertion. It is really
painful to reflect on the probable duration of .this murderous
warfare, which, one the one had, is carried on with all the
haughty hatred and insatiable rancour, naturally inspired by a
sense of superiority, and the dictates of an intolerant religion ;
while, on the other hand, it is prosecuted with all that cruelty
and excess of which men can be guilty, when their worst
passions are exasperated by the meinory,of a thousand
" Wrongs unredress'd, and insults nnreveng'd."
To judge from the present attitude of th rig s, there does not
exist the most distant prospect of a termination to this unavail-
ing effusion of human blood ; unless an end so desirable shall
be effected through the friendly interference of some one of the
Powers of Western Europe.—( Hampshire Telegraph.)

ACCIDENT TO TILE V E
Royal Highness the Duke of Yo I; is in the frequent habit of
riding out on horseback before breakfast. • On Saturday morn-
ing the Royal Duke rode out as ustud and wits returning home
to breakfast at Audley House about ten o'Ulock, through Hill-
■treet, Berkeley-squre, when his hors!! unfortunately stepping
into a hole caused him to fall and his Royal Highness with him.
The Royal Duke's Groom cam! up instantly to his assistattee.
His Royal Highness experienced a .slight bruise on his fore-
head, and walked to his house w,th the principal inconvenience
of mud in the street. Mr. P. MACGREGOR, the Duke's Sur-
geon was immediately sent for, who repaired to the house is a
few minutes, and after examining his Royal Highness we are
happy to say, announced that his Royal Highness had not sus.
tained any material injury. In the course of the afternoon his
Royal Highness rode out in his Cabriolet and visited his Royal
brother, the KING. In the evening his Royal Highness had a
dinner party. Yesterday the Royal Duke was to dine with
Mr. LASIUTON, to meet the Duke of DEvossities, had It
distinguished party.
