We solicit attention to a Letter in our Paper
of this day, signed " AN OBSERVER," on the
subject of the Petition of the English Bar, lately
presented to the House of Commons.

_~~~_

The Brussels Papers received last night bring
the report that it is the• intention of the Govern-
ment of the Netherlands to prohibit the French
Journal the Etoile from circulating in that king-
dom. The prohibition is issued on account of
the abuse that the French Editor is in the habit

of levelling at the Belgic Government. We

cannot, however, give a great deal of credit to
the rumour, for the liberal policy hitherto pursued
by the Bel;ic Ministry leads us to hope better
things of their wisdom and discretion. On
these occasions, there is a sort of sympathy ex-
cited in the breasts of all other Editors all
over the world, and men, who, in the midst of
their angry discussions on questions of politics,
are accustomed to deal out hard names to one an-
other with the most unsparing hand, unite in repel-
liug attacks that militate against the freedom of
the Press, because they themselves one day or
other may become the victims of them. If it
were for this reason only, it would be wise to ab-
stain from such conduct, for a Government, like
an individual, can never hope to stand out
against the daily abuse of such a crowd of op-
ponents, whose writings lead (more or less)
the public opinion ; and no matter how correct
or how proper soever the ground of prohibition
may be, still the attack must be repelled. But

happily good conduct never requires such extra-
ordinary means of protection ; and therefore,
although one man may, through a malignant
spirit, or more likely in order to serve a
party, find his advantage in launching out into
calumnies against a parkikular State, yet, if left
to himself, he must soon 'exhaust .his stock of
vituperation ; and if not, what weight can the
calumnies of one journal have, whilst all the rest
join in support of the Administration that is made
the subject of the slander? We should not,
however, be surprised if the Netherlands Govern-
ment did feel a desire to prevent the circula-

Lion of the Etoile within their territories, be-
cause that Newspaper is said to speak the
sentiments of the French Cabinet, or a portion of
it at least, and because it is under the protec-
tion and guidance of some Members of the
French Administration. But the best way to
neutralize the effects of unfounded calumnies is to
pursue a steady course of uniform policy tending
to the advantage of the people, and to shew by
actions that the slander is false and undeserved.
A prohibition of this nature is precisely what
the Editor of the Etoile would desire, because
it would give him a plausible ground of abuse,
and he feels convinced that he has only to an-
nounce the fact, to bring all his brethren of the
Press to join him in crying down his opponent.

IVe received by Express at a late hour this
day the Etoile of yesterday's date, from ;Odell
the following are extracts :

PAT:IS, A PRiL 19.

Letters from Naples announce that the Prince of Salerno, the
King's brother, and his august consort, daughter of the Emperor
of Austria, are to set out on the 9th of this month for Milan.
The King and Queen of the Two Sicilies, with one of the
young Princes their sons, Count d'Aquila, had fixed their de-
parture from Naples on the 11th, and their arrival at Rome on
the 13th. The august travellers would continue their route
by Florence.

His Highness Prince de 3letternich will leave Paris this
evening or to-morrow for Marseilles.
The Prince of Saxe-Cobourg set out this day for London.
The evacuation now carrying into effect in the Peninsula will
not embrace the two Swiss Regiments at Madrid, under the
command of General Count de Laloyere. It was never intended
that these regiments should leave the country, nor the squadron
of cavalry attached to the service of the General Commandant :
these troops will remain in Spain until further Orders. The first

Swiss Regiment is now at Aranjuez.
FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, APRIL 19.—Five per cents.
101 f. 75c. for money, and 101 f. 90c. for the end of the month.

It appears by the Paris Papers of Monday,
that the Porte has caused a Note to be presented
to Mr. TURNER, British Charge-d'Affaires, re-
monstrating with him on account of the supplies
of money, ammunition, and artillery, which have
arrived in Greece flout England; but more espe-
cially on account of the last Greek Loan, it
being quite incomprehensible to the Divan that
British Merchants should dare to lend their
money without the sanction of the British Go-
vernment ! The accounts from Greece are so far
favourable, that notwithstanding the Ottomans
had succeeded in landing troops at Modon, yet the
attempt to relieve Patras and Lepanto had failed,
and the Austrian transports, it was believed,
would be obliged to go to Zante and unload.
It appears by the Courier Francais that the
Spanish Government would not suffer LUCIEN
MURAT to leave Algesiras until he had signed an
instrument by which he bound himself never to

set his foot again on the Spank!' soil on pain of
being treated as an exile who had unlawfully re-
turned from banishment. The Count de NOBLE-
JAS, who, as one of the Ex-Regidors of Madrid,
was lately sentenced to be exiled from the capi-
tal, has died suddenly, not without suspicion of
violence.

There is a report that M. Pozzi DI BonGo,
the Russian Ainbassor at Paris, will be created
a Peer of France, and appointed Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs. This would be an important event
in the present state of Europe. M. Pozzi
oI
BORG() is by birth a Corsican, and was a Mein.
ber of the French Legislative Assembly, in
which he presented an energetic Report on the
coalition of the Continental Powers, particularly
censuring Russia, who were then arming against
the French Revolution. It is not a little remark-
able that he should afterwards have entered into
the service of that very Power ; and his acces-
sion to the French Cabinet at this moment would
be a proof of the continued predominance of
Russia in the Councils of the BOURBONS, for it
will not be forgotten that to the same influence
the Duke de RICHELIEU owed his seat in the
Councils of the late King of FRANCE.

The Greek Chronicles of the 16th and 26th
February, and the
2d March contain various
accounts from Corfu and other places, all con-
firming the great preparations making by the
,
Turks in Albania and Epirus for the next cam-
paign, but at the same time communicating
the gratifying intelligence, that the Greeks
are taking every measure to give the enemy an

effectual opposition, by occupying the passes, for-
tifying and strengthening Missolunghi and Ana-
tolie°, and concentrating their disposable troops
at Karpenessi and other places, ready to proceed
to the most vulnerable points. In its Number of
of the 16th February the Greek Chronicle
observes--

Whatever may be the plan of the Turks for the campaign,
it is beyond all doubt that great armaments are making
again to oppress and enslave Western Greece. it is therefore
necessary, and highly necessary, to take betimes all possible
measures to stop the progress of the enemy.

The Local Authorities of Western Greece have taken such
measures as far as circumstances and their ability will permit.
The strong position of Karvassera, which by the negligence of
our people was left last year in the possession of the Turks, is
now intrusted to Colonel Anagnosti Karajanni and his first
Lieutenant Basilius Patro. The passes of 3lacrynoros, with
all their out-posts, are defended by Captains Costa Ikonornu,
and lannaki Stratu. But the larger corps of Generals Rango,
Stornari, Tsinga and Mackri, which remain free, will either
be united in one camp at Karpenessi, or concentrated in some
other spot where they may be required to oppose the attacks of
the enemy.
Meantime all possible exertions are making for the proper
strengthening and supplying of Missolunghi and Anatolie°,
where, if the enemy should not be met in a more advanced
position, he may meet with the game resistance and the same
fate as in the last two years. God be with us.

The Greek Chronicle of the 26th of February
has the following article :

lIIISSOLONGHT, FEB. 25.

It is confirmed from all quarters that great preparations
are making for the siege of Missolonghi and Anatolico. Since
the expedition of Mustapha Pacha of Scutari, the inclusions
of the Albanians have been always of little importance, but
the present armaments of Reschid Pacha are much more formi-
dable. We hear that he has 200 masons with him for the pur-
pose of building towers in all the passes, which may serve as
magazines and fortresses, that the communications and the sup-
plies may not be interrupted.
Though these accounts seem to be exaggerated, there is no
doubt that the troops assembled about Arta and Prevesa,
consisting of Turks and Greeks, will do their utmost tel
conquer the positions of Karvassera, Macrynoros, and the
other passes, to facilitate the advance of the great army of
the Seraskier. At Prevesa, a great number of mortars and
cannon are preparing to bombard our two towns. It is certain
that the enemy will do his utmost; we must therefore take all
possible measures to avert the danger.

The following number of the Greek Chronicle,
of March 2, contains an anonymous letter to the
Editor, contradicting the statements that there
are Greeks among the troops at Prevesa :—" No
Greek fights against his own country. Greek
pioneers, masons, waggon-drivers, compelled to
serve, are not to be considered as doing so." This
anonymous letter endeavours, on the whole, to
dispel the apprehensions excited by the preceding
numbers of the Chronicle respecting the prepara-
tions of the Turks in Albania and Epirns.

In the Nuremberg Correspondent of the 13th
instant there is an article from the German Hes-
perus, which gives a gloomy picture of the dis-
tress felt in Hungary from the difficulty of find-
ing a market for its produce, owing to the heavy
duties imposed on its importation into the-other
dominions of the Emperor of AuvratA, and also
owing to the Crown having monopolized the ar-
ticle of tobacco, which once formed one of the
most valuable productions of Hungary, and is
now neglected for want of that encouragement
which a more liberal policy and freedom of trade
would afford to its culture.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 15.—His Excellency the Go-
vernor of Hainault, by a circular letter of the 12th instant,
invites the Magistrates of the towns and communes to take the
most suitable measures that no Missionary of any description
whatever be admitted into the towns or communes of the pro-
vince, to spread his doctrines by public preaching, or in any
other manner, and to prevent such preaching from taking place.
These measures are intended to ensure the execueon of his
Majesty's intentions expressed in the circular addressed to the
Bishops, &c. by his Excellency the Director-General of the
Affairs of the Catholic Worship.

A Supplement to the London Gazette of Tues-
day last contains dispatches from India, an-
nouncing a variety of partial successes, as well
in the vicinity of Itgn,goon as on the north-east
frontier, all attesting the gallantry of our troops?
and none decisive as to any serious influence
upon the conflict.

Respire OF Mil. SAVARY.—In consequence of
some communication received at the Secretary of
States' Office, connected with this Gentleman's
case, a respite during his MAJESTY'S pleasure
was, this forenoon, dispatched to Bristol.

Mr. Secretary CANNING was in the house of
Commons on Tuesday night about seven o'clock,
hut he remained a very short time. Ile walked
lame and with the aid of a stick.
Duke 13EttNumtD, of Saxe Weimar, General
Commandant of East Flanders, who has already
travelled through part of Europe, is going to visit
North America.

Princess POLIGNAG will be prevented, by se-
vere indisposition, from having the honour of re-
ceiving company on Sunday next at her house ill
Portland-place.
BOW-STREET.—This day Colonel WoonuvitS
appeared on a warrant, charging him with assaulting a porter
in the employ of a shoemaker in Princes'-street. From the
statement of the complainant it appealed, the Colonel is at
present sojourning at Prince's Hotel, Leicester-square, where,
a few days back, he waited upon him by direction of his master
with a pair of boots. On tapping at the door of the Colonels
apartment he was desired to walk in, which he did, and was .
mediately attacked and knocked down by Colonel, withoo:.
his giving any provocation whatever. The Colonel denied
ing desired him to walk in, and said, that on perceiving his 10-
trusion, he pushed him out, and ih the scuffle he fell down."
Sir BIRNIE said, he should take the Colonel's owrl. rtct
cognizance for his appearance to answer any charge that iitb
be made at the Sessions.
The following
untimely death of Capt. PITCH an, is deserving of notice. A.ll
sinl:ular fact, in reference to tilt"
the accident a reward of 15 guineas was immediately ofier,ee
for the recovery of his body. This acted as a stimulus to all for
watermen on the river who were on the search day and night.,,
the unfortunate gentleman, yet they did not succeed in fine' ';7
it. However, extraordinary to relate, on Sunday last, Sluitr;
the pilot who was on board the steam-packet when the Capra i
lost his life, and to whom some negligence is attached, was It,t
loting a brig up the pool, when just above the Folly-housee.
Blackwall, he saw a body floating on the surface of the Iva, co
Smith hailed a waterman, and the body, which turned out nd
be that of the unfortunate Captain Pitcher, was picked up
carried ashore. We know not if it is Smith's intention :0 '1"
ply for the reward.—( Times.)
