It is said by those who profesa :tiN ' to the
'lest information, that the Canopus i - .• proceed on
l'hursday, and that her destination is Corunna,
where she is to drop the six thousand stand of arm;
(tilt twelve thousand as erroneously stated), and then
--) sail for the Mediterranean. It is rather curious,
that whilst there is no want of rumours, nor even of
.)ositive statements, of battles between some of the
more numerous conflicting parties, neither of the• re-
ant arrivals here affords intelligence of any moment
0 those whose duties require them to sift out the most
ninute circumstances. The fact is, that if any weight
is to be attached to the statement that the County of
Pembroke steamer conveyed the treaty of amity to
Lisbon, and to the conclusion drawn there-
riom that a pacification may be effected, it would
ippear that a sort of suspension of hostilities is the
more: probable—a suspension likely, according to the
opinions of some, to continue for an indefinite period,.
Is it cannot be expected, under the circumstances of
the internal conflict now going on in Spain, &h' ilitt
power is quite in a situation to guarantee the ter-;
formance of her part of the treaty. It has transpire&
that the County of Pembroke was to remain but two
'lays at Lisbon, and then to return direct to this coun-
try. Persons express considerable disappointment that
his Majesty's brig Savage, which arrived yesterday,
brings no information of importance : but it is easily
to be accounted for, since it is hardly possible that the
first result of the communication from the County ty
Pembroke will be published before the return of the
messenger to England, if then; so that the occurrence
of any important event at Lisbon previous to the
causes being apparent in London, is by no means
probable.

We learn from Russia, that in consequence
of a recent decision of the Minister of Finance, mosaic
trinkets or shirt-buttons, &c., were declared subject to
a duty of two rubles (ten silver copecks) per lb.
The Memorial Bordelais of the 2d inst, has
accounts from Bayonne, which mention an advantage
gained over Lorenzo by Erazo, at Lerin. Several
different versions of the action were circulated, list
they all agree that the Carlists were victorious.
The Wirtemberg Gazette of the 2d instant
states, that many soldiers absent on furlough have been
recalled, that the military patrols in Statgard have
been augmented, and much vigilance is exercised by
the police. This is attributed to the conspiracy dis-
covered at Warsaw.

The Madrid Gazette contains a Royal de-
cree whereby, in order, among other advantages, that
the elections of the Procuradores or Deputies to the
Cortes may be rendered more easy. and effective, it is
ordained that the whole of the provinces of the Penin-
sula and the adjacent islands, as they were formed by
the decree of November 30th, shall be subdivided into
judicial arrondissements.

By advices from Rio Janeiro it is stated that
the cultivation of sugar in the Brazils had increased, of
late years, in an extraordinary degree, the last crop
amounting to not less than ninety millions of pounds.
The drought, however, which had prevailed for eight
months in the provinces, had much injured the crop of
the present season, and it was estimated there would
be a deficiency of 100,000 to 110,000 bags.

A letter of the 2d instant, from Lyons, says,
" The Minister of War has directed that only such of
the soldiers as took part in the late conflicts with the
insurgents in this town, shall be admitted to fill up
the vacancies occasioned by the deaths of those who,
fell. The number of officers killed was fifteen, and
several more are expected to die of their wounds.
Lieut.-Colonel Diethman, who was commander of the
garrison, ad interim, has been promoted to the rank
of full colonel, and succeeded by M. Floccard."
FRENCH OCCUPATION OF ALGIERS.—The
Constitutionnel says—" It is asserted that after the
result of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on
Friday, the President of the Council openly declared
his intention to propose at the commencement of the
next session a general plan for the occupation of the
Regency of Algiers ; and it is added that one of the
members of the African Committee has been charged
by the President of the Council to prepare a constitu-
tion, which is to form, in fact, the charter of this part
of the territory of France."

The Hamburg Correspondent gives the
following from Berlin, dated the 25th ult. :—" There
are still at Graudentz and its environs upwards of 200
Polish soldiers, who being unwilling to embark for
America, are perinitted to remain until further orders.
We learn from Posen that the works at the fortifica-
tions are being carried on with the utmost activity,
500 men being daily employed upon them. Several
new forts, connected with each other, surround the
town ; the course of the river Warth has in part been
turned, and two stone bridges, one having 12 arches,
have been thrown over it. The fort of Winiari is
almost finished, and 1,200 iron bedsteads have been
sent from Berlin for the numerous garrison that is to
occupy the extensive barracks about to be erected."
The Indicateur of Bordeaux of the 2d inst.
has the following from Bayonne, dated the 30th ult. :
—Carnicer, a fugitive, since his defeat, has rejoined the
Navarrese. Quesada, Butron, and El Pastor met the
insurgents on the 27th, on the road from Tolosa to
Pampeluna, between a place called the Two Sisters
and Aresso, when a dreadful conflict ensued. The
firing was heard at Velata and Lecumberri. Que-
sada, Lorenzo, and Oraa, who were engaged in this
action, then entered Pampeluna, and the Cal-lists took
"to flight. General Butron has taken the direction of
St. Sebastian, and El Pastor that of Tolosa. We
learn that General Llauder had just ordered a contri-
bution of 2,000,000 to be levied upon the clergy."
The latest advices from Cairo state that great
complaints were made of the Pacha, and that the poor
inhabitants were crushed by the enormous imposts
heaped upon them. The system of recruiting also
had nearly depopulated the country of all its able
hands. The harvests had been every year less pro-
ductive, and many branches of commerce had entirely
disappeared ; agriculture had been irreparably in-
jured, and in consequence thereof the revenue of Me-
hemet Ali had sensibly diminished. He had visited
Cairo, and given several audiences to the European
Consuls ; but was shortly to return to Alexandria. In
consequence of the great exertions of the English and
French Consuls on the subject of Candia, the Pacha
had sent an order to the Governor of that island to re-
call the exiles, and to restore them to their property.

RUSSIA AND EGYPT.—The Penile Souve-
rain of Marseilles gives the following extract of a let-
ter from Alexandria, in Egypt, dated March 24 :
" Our affairs are becoming daily more and more com-
plicated. M. Duhamel, the Russian Consul-General,
before he would do any official act, required a written
declaration from Mehemet Ali, avowing his submission
to the Porte. Thus, on the very first pretence—and
it will not be long before one presents itself--Russia
will come forward as arbitrator between Egypt and
the Ottoman Porte. It is stated that very consider-
able corps of Russians are assembled in Russian Ar-
menia. The Pacha has, on his part, intimated to the
French and English Consuls, his attention to render
all Europeans established in Egypt subject to his civil,
commercial, and criminal laws."

SWITZERLAND.—Extract of a letter from
Berne, dated the 29th ult. :—" Addresses sent by the
Council of State of Neufchatel to the other states of
the Confederation, declare that its determination to
insist upon a separation is irrevocable. It is considered
as certain, that, if the separation does take place, the
principality will continue as it was before it became
the twenty-first canton of the Confederation, to be

man believes, however, a report circulated that Prussia

afloat two years ago. The whole armed force in
Neufchatel is an Urban Guard of between 200 and
300 men. Basle-Town has granted the freedom of
the city to all Swiss and foreigners who joined in its
defence during its contest with Basle-Country. All
that is required is that they should be of the reformed
religion, a restriction that is in a certain degree justi-
fied by the peculiar position in which this small republic
has been placed since the late events."
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 6.
The- market during the last two days has been very
firm even under the very heavy imports. Holders arc
very firm, though, of course, we can hardly predict
what will follow, when the arrivals have been 70,000
bales. The sales to-day are 3,000 bales, which is a
large business for Tuesday, at prices quite unchanged ;
200 Maranhams for export, logd. to 11d. ; remainder
Americans to the trade.
