some necessary repair!, on which the populace had col-
lected, and killed some of the crew. The Russian Captain
immediately demanded satisfaction of the Paella, but re-
ceived instead new insults : on which he imme-
diately put to sea, but in a short time returned
with a number of Russian, English, and French ships, and
with their assistance cannonaded the city in such a manner
that a great part of it was wholly destroyed.

The Austtian Observer of this date contains the decree
of the Emperor of Brazil, abdicating the throne of Por-
tugal in favour of his daughter.
The Austrian Observer of the last two days contains
extremely long accounts taken from the Courier de Smyrne,
respecting the evacuation of the island of Scio by the
Greeks. A letter from Colonel Fabvier to Capt. Lalande,
speaks with great indignation of the conduct of the Magis-
trates (Demogrontes) of Selo, and declares that they en-
deavoured to prevent the troops from retreating, by send-
ing away all the vessels, in order that they might be de-
stroyed by the Turks, for the purpose of concealing their
infamous conduct, in applying to their own use the provi-
sione, ammunition, and money sent for the troop..

There is something' infinitely amusing in that
crisis of the recorded altercation between two
Ministers, where one of them, being desired
by a common friend of the parties to state
what it was that would satisfy him, coolly re-
fused to return any other answer than this, " My
" late colleague is a man of sense and knows
the tcirid !"

The circumstance may remind us of the lady
in the Idler, who never addressed any member
of her household except in inuendoes, and never
forgave the unlucky individual who did not divine
her meaning. The Idler tells us that one of
this great person's attendants, who had steered
safely through the perplexities of a number of
riddles, was at length thoroughly baffled by the
oracular direction " Molly, YOU KNOW ;" and
was peremptorily dismissed for her dulness.
Tradition however adds that the letter of dismissal
was couched in the handsomest terms; concluding
with these words.—" I repeat that your removal
"is your own act, not mine. It appeared to me
" that the discovery of my meaning ought to be
" spontaneous on your part, and to take place
without delay. Your want of comprehension
" leaves me no option, excepting that of dis-
" missing you, or of submitting myself and my
" household government to the necessity of
" soliciting you to remain in your place.
" This latter. step would, in my opinion,
"be calculad to do me personally, and
"to the family government, great dis-
" service. I sincerely regret the loss of your
" valuable services ; but I ant convinced that
" in these times any loss is better than that of
" character, which is the foundation of domestic
" confidence. Believe me ever your's, most
sincerely."


The French Papers of Tuesday do not throw
any light upon the reported battle between the
Russians and Turks. Some accounts go even so
far as to say that the main body of the Russian
Grand Army would not pass the Danube till the
arrival of the EMPEROR. This we think very
questionable. Extracts will be found in another
column.

We insert in another column an excellent
letter from a correspondent of the Times, address-
eu to the Right Hon. ROBERT PEEL, to which
we request the attention of those who may not
yet have made up their minds as to the Duke's
" Decision," in making the best use of Upper-.
tunity when it serves his purpose.

Brussels Papers of the 4th inst. have been re-
ceived, but contained little news :

BRUSSELS, MAY 31.

The Hanoverian Government now refuses permission to

We are sssured that Officers of the Waterstaat are named
to go to Panama. It is well known that the Government
of the Netherlands has opened a negotiation with a view
to make a canal across the isthmus of Panama, which
would fern► a communication btween the Atlantic and the
Pacific. aitussims, JUNE Y.

all that has been paid, have assembled a very large force
