GERMAN PAPERS.

ROME, JULY I.:—.The decree of the 28th ult. in Por-
tugal- relating to the suppression of convents, and which
is very unwelcome news here, has filled even. the friends
of Don Pedro' with terror. The indulgence hitherto
shown by the. Pope is ascribed solely ,to the represen•
tation made by the French Court, where it appeared to
be believed that in Lisbon some attention would be paid to
those representations against such a proceeding. As this has
not been the case, there scarcely-appears any other method re-
maining than that the Holy Father should pronounce an ana-
thema on the government of the Queen Donna Maria da
Gloria. Independent-of the. effect such a step might have,
it is to be feared that the acknowledgment of the young
Queen will be long delayed, as well here as by the Powers
friendly to us. The news from some Spanish American re-
publics, particularly from Mexico, where the suppression of the
convents has likewise been ordered, has made less im-
pression here. The cause of this apparent apathy
has arisen, no doubt, because it was hoped to arrest
this measure by negotiations. As concerns Spain, a
disposition is shown to find out some means by which' an
acknowledgement may be made possible. It consists
in a proposal on the French, and especially on the English
side, that an alliance should take place between the young
Queen and the eldest son of Don Carlos. The Romans have
been some days uneasy, on account of a report that the Go-
vernment had an intention of putting paper money•into circu-
lation. Nowhere have-people greater dislike to paper money
than here ; as many families are living who were ruined in the
year 1798, when the paper money became no longer current,
and the holders never received the least indemnity. This re-
port evidently arises from the established Discount and Deposit
Bank, having the intention to issue bills to a certain extent. •
VIENNA, JULY 5.--His Highness Prince Metternich set out
this morning for Baden, to wait on his Majesty the Emperor.
His Majesty will stop some weeks at Baden, and then go to
his estates in Bohemia.

It is reported that there is to be no assembling of troops in
Moravia, and that orders will be immediately sent to the
regiments which are intended to form the camp, not to quit
their respective garrisons.
The regular navigation of the steam-boats on the Lower
Danube will begin next month. The voyage from Pesth to
Constantinople will then be performed with ease in ten days.
The Government intends to have a regular boat from Pesth
to Constantinople, by means of the steam-boats.
Several members of the diplomatic body leave Vienna to
visit the baths in Bohemia.
Sir Frederick Lamb, the English Ambassador, will go to
London to arrange some family affairs.
The Countess St. Aulaire goes to Paris.
In the absence of Count Bernstorff, the Danish Ambassa-
dor, Count Reventlow Criminil acts as Charge d'Affaires.
Letters from Trieste say that further arrests have taken place
in Greece, and that the Mainots are still in a state of insurrec-
tion. It was hoped that after the end of the trial of Coloco-
luma and Celioporcles, who were expected to be sentenced to
death, but to have their punishment commuted by the King to
imprisonment for life, the people's minds would become more
calm, and the Regency be able to introduce, without obstacle,
all the reforms which it projected.

MINISTERS.—The latest number of the political Gazette
gives the following particulars relative to the events in Maina :
—" The Regency has been obliged to send a detachment of
troops to Maina, in order to restore tranquillity, which has
been interrupted by several chiefs, as they, did not re-
gard the summons made to them to submit. The Com-
mander of the troops was obliged to employ force. The
Royal troops had, when the last accounts left Greece, already
taken and destroyed a great part of the fortified towns, and the
re-establishment of legal order was expected to be very shortly
effected.—Allgemeine Zeitung, July 10.'
MissoLoNGni, JUNE 7.—A vessel, which arrived here yes-
terday evening, from Patras, brought news from Calamata to
the 27th of May, and from Napoli to the end of the month..
The Greek troops,. about 1,500 strong, with artillery, had
marched against the Mainots. Their country presents ranges
of hills declining from the Taygetus to the sea, rather uneven
than steep. On the eminence are towers, square buildings,
with strong walls, which serve the Captains for residences
and fortresses. A great number of them may be seen
from Calamata, that is from the castle. The expe--
dition was against them. The Mainots, resolved 16 re- •
sist, could not keep their ground in the open country
against the impetuosity of the troops, who are much exaspe-
rated, and the effects of the heavy cannon. They retreated
with considerable loss to the defiles and mountains in the back
ground, and on the 27th May, eight of the traders were taken
and destroyed by the aid of the artillery.
' On the other hand parties of the enemy came, especially in .
he night, up to the walls of the town, having made their way
through the troops to the east of Calamata. The Royal
troops are said to have also suffered some loss, and the excite-
ment on both sides seems to be great. Fresh difficulties may
be expected on the other side of the defiles which separate the
exterior from the interior country, or Maine Proper. While
this is passing in western Maine, the eastern part has also
been attacked, which is separated from the other by the im-
passable ridge of Taygetus. There are no positive accounts
of the result. Some good officers are said to have been killed
--{A Munich paper gives the name of Lieut.-Col. Mann)—
and one taken, but the troops maintained their positions be-
yond Marathonissi.---A//gemeine Zeitung, July 9.
