NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, Ace. 4.—The change in the consti-
tution of the Regency, by which the differ,r.tes among the
Members are ended, and the power Let united in the hands
of Count Armansperg, 'yeen effected without any difficulty,
conformably to
by M: 'resolutions of the King of Bavaria, brought
. .
ts.leaze from Munich, and is received with general
efobation. The Royal Commissioners, on ar-iving
at
Corfu, met the Prince Mavrocordato,
; Mails .7 to
Berlin and Munich, to whicl•.
.wo Courts he Is amolnted m.
bassador. From him they. received detailed aid to:delft-ale in-
formation of the state of affairs t at the %tulle time he delivered
to M. Von Kleuze a letters hi which that gentleman was in-
vited to undertake a journey to Greece to examine *!,..0 ques-
tion and difficulties which had arisen relrttling the plan of
the new capital. On the 30th tltt. V,ommissioners landed at
Corinth, and arrived o 4 the following day at Napoli, where
they were received With joy as the bringers of the wished-for
tidings. The report of the object of their visit fiad preceded
them, and had caused a great sensation, when it was at length
certain that the Greeks would have at least in fact a Chief,
and that in the person of Count Armansperg, there was a
general feeling of deep satisfaction, as was to be expected in
a people who had suffered so much by the preceding erroneous
measures, and the dissentions between the members of the
Government, and quickly comprehended the public and pri-
vate advantages that must ensue from the new order of things.
It was with difficulty that Count Armansperg prevented the
capital from celebrating the happy event by a general illumi-
nation. Justice is indeed done to the talents of M. V. Abel,
and the activity of M. Von Maurer ; but it is generally ad-
mitted that they totally misunderstood the country and the
people, and their own position, which was the case with
General Heideck. The latter, notwithstanding his indif-
ference and inactivity in general, is actuated by a passionate
dislike to every thing national in the military organization
which he calls Palicari foolishness, and has induced the Go-
vernment to those injudicious measures against it which have
destroyed for a long time to come, the materials for a Greek
army. The others participated in his contempt for every
thing Greek, and nothing is more common than to hear them
and their people indulge in unbounded abuse of the Greeks,
and of Greek custe;mi and manners, &c. This is the only
ground on which ;.t, can be explained why, instead of attending
to what was Ware them, instead of governing Greece in the
Greek manner, and immediately remedying its manifest and
urgent wants, they engaged in false diplomatic ways, and
bewildered themselves in political and legislative theories and
experiraents, which, as well as the vain attempts with the
military, have cost large sums, and have only increased the
confusion in the country, which could not accommodate
'itself to the Bavarian or French form of administration and
legislation, and could not see without deep regret every
thing national, everything to which it was accustomed, in
danger of being interdicted and destro) ed. Count Armans-
berg has from the very beginning thought and acted in a very
different manner. He by no means considers his mission as a
kind of transitory state of constraint, undertaken and endowed
with alleged reluctance ; on the contrary, he from the begin-
ning has shown attachment to the country, and therefore has
acquired attachment or esteem ; and though his health has at
first suffered from the climate and the burden of public busi-
ness, and afterwards the dissentions that ensued, he has not
lost his energy, and with his determination immediately to
provide for the most pressing vents, and as much as possible
to adopt and to improve what he finds ready to his hands, he
will be able, during the ten remaining months of his regency,
to do a great deal of good, especially as the public resources are
by no means so exhausted as has been alleged in many quar-
ters. The second series of the loan is not yet used.
The form of the titles and customs, notwithstanding the
errors, have produced large sums, and therel are still about 10
millions of drachms in the treasury, so that he will by no
means be compelled to break in upon the third series of the
loan, which, as we hear, must certainly be made use of on the
majority of King Otho. The two Gentlemen who have come
to us in consequence of the change, met with the most cordial
reception. M. Von Kobell gains regard by his, engaging and
dignified manner, and the kind feelings which he manifests in
his language. It is well known to us that his long standing
and tried friendship for Count Armansperg, was the chief
cause that led the King's choice to fall on him, and we con-
sider this as an indication that the Monarch has not ceased to
have a heart animated by noble sentiments. M. Von Kleuze
has the reputation of having for many years felt a deep interest
in our affairs. He will shortly go to Athens, where his pre-
sence is very necessary, and is impatiently looked for. You
know the first plan, and bow it has turned out. All that will
remain of it is, that its author, a Greek architect, has acquired
a revenue of 4000 Spanish dollars. Then Mr. Villausen went
to Athens, taking with him a dillittanti architect from Rome,
whom the majority of the Regency has raised to the post of
Chief Inspector of Greek antiquaries ; though he knows no-
thing at all of Greek, and cannot read an inscription, the man
accompanies the ex-minister of the Regency to lay down a
V.an of Athens after his fashion. This he has done; how, I
need not say, but it is high praise for M. Von Kleuze to set to
work and to produce something durable We are happy to
hear that he is deeply sensible of the importance of the task ;
and, to make use of a phrase of Napoleon, feels that thirty
centuries of glory look down from the Acropolis on what he
undertakes there. I shall soon write again, and let you know
what face our affairs assume after the atmosphere has become
pure and serene.

TIIE MASON'S STRIKE.—As we anticipated, the
deluded men who were induced, at the instigation of a few
ignorant, and insolent dictators, to abandon constant em-
ployment and good wages, from the non-compliance with the
demand that certain anti-union men should be discharged, are
now made aware of their egregious folly. The places of the
refractory Unionists have already been in, a great measure
supplied, and fresh hands arrive daily from Carious parts of the
country, who meet with immediate empi.oyment. The Union,
under these circumstances, have s,,rt a deputation to Mr.
Grainger, with power to
gentleman very properly refu-
" an'aP'ge" the differences, but that
~ed to recognise the right of
interference, or hold any
COD'.munication with any delegates or
deputations from the Trades,
Unions. —Newcastle Journal.

L'ORIENT, AW.i, 31, 1834.—A depot of 41,000
ball cartridges, wet preserved, and a brass field-piece, of
English manufactr re have lately been discovered in a double
wall at the gable end of a farmer's house, in the commune of
Meindon. Tb e magistrate, upon some indications given,
after having 'dug in a field belonging to the residence of the
late vicar of Veltidon, at the depth of five feet, found an Eng-
lish brass b ow,itzer, not far of the carriage of this piece, and
under an B.rr.:A the ammunition lockers, with bullets and grape
shots and the harness requisite for the horses. This fortu-
nate di'...movery has been brought about by the information
sPontr,lieously given by the labourers, who were cognizant of
these facts. These arms belonged to Cadoudal's division.

A GREAT MOOR ON FIRE.—The last number of
the Journal of Courland and Livonia gives an account of a
fire in a great moor, caused by the long drought. Thousands
of people were employed in digging ditches to arrest its pro-
gress ; but it frequently happens that the moor behind them
begins to burn, the fire rising from the earth, having probably
spread at a lower depth than the bottom of the ditches. The
drought has done irreparable damage to the crops of every
description in Courland. Streams that never before were dried
up are now wholly without water, so that very few mills are
able to work, and in some parts people must take their own
corn thirty English miles to get it ground. There has been no
rain of any consequence since the spring ; if any fell, the sun
and wind soon dried it up.

Sir Robert Southwell gives the following method of
preserving fruits and flowers throughout the whole year :
Take saltpetre, one pound ; Armenian bole, two pounds ;
clean common sand, three pounds ; and mix the whole well
together. Then gather fruit, of any kind, that is not fully
ripe, with the stalk to each, and put them, one by one, into a
wide-mouthed glass, laying them in good order. Tie over the
top with an oil-cloth, carry them into a dry cellar, and set the
whole upon a bed of the prepared matter, of five inches thick,
in a box. Fill up the remainder of the box with the same pre-
paration, and let it be four inches thick all over the top, and
all round its sides. Flowers are to be preserved in the same
sort of glasses, and in the same manner ; and they may be
taken up, after a whole year, as plump and as fine as when
they were buried.

DEAR HAUNCH OF MUTTON.—When the pre-
sent Duke of Bedford was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, he was
once, when dining with Lord Sligo, earnestly recommended
to taste a fine haunch of Glynde mutton, to which his Grace,
himself a breeder and admirer of South Downs, and well ac-
quainted with Mr. Ellman, readily acceded ; but no politeness
to his noble host would move him to finish the slice, or say it
was other than rank in flavour and terribly tough On inquiry
the disappointed Marquis ascertained that his shepherd, who
had been ordered to kill the best South Down sheep, had, in
accordance with the doctrines of political economy, which
estimates every thing at its market price, actually slaughtered
for the vice-regal banquet a ram for which Lord Sligo had a
few weeks before paid Mr. Ellman two hundred guineas.—

The Mahomedans of Yarkund appear to differ from
their brethren elsewhere, for the fair sex have a power and in-
fluence not known in other places. They take the seat of
honour in a room, associate freely with the men, and do not
veil; they wear high-heeled boots, richly ornamented; their
bead. dress is described as very handsome, being a high tiara
of cloth ; the features of the fair ones themselves are said to be
most beautiful. When a Bokhara merchant visits Yarkund,
he marries one of these beauties during his sojourn in the city ;
and the pair separate, as they joined, quite as a matter of con-
venience, when he leaves the country. Their wives are as
cheap as beautiful, and purchased at a premium of two or three
tillas (12 or 18 rupees) ; and the merchants, soon after leaving
the country, sing the praises of the fair ones of Yarkund._
