We received this morning' the Dale of yesterday,
by rexpreis., It contains ndthing new respecting the
situation of affairs at Missolonhi, though Greece is,
said to be in a forlorn state. It appears by advices
from Madrid, dated April the 12th, that t dis-
turbance-took place in that capital among the popu=
lace, in consequence of the price of provisions having
been raised at the gates of the city, but tranquillity
was soon restored. The following is an extract :-

( From the Etoile dated yesterday.)

MADRID, APRIL 12.

On the 9th, the increase of duties upon provisions exposed to
sale at the gates of Madrid, such as wine and other articles of ne-
amity, had excited great fermentation among the populace, tumul-
tuous
groups of whom assembled at Puerto del Sol, Plaza Mayor,
and other places, where they :.nnounced their intention to reassemble
in considerable force to-morrow morning at. the gates of the city,
to oppose the enforcement of these new duties. During a part of
the following night the troops remained under arms, while patrols
!scoured the city and all the roads leading to it, About three
o'clock in the morning one of the patrols fell in, near one of the
gates, with a body of the multitude, armed with clubs, stakes,
and such other instruments. On seeing an armed force, this
snob, being few in number, dispersed without resistance.—
The most alarming reports of this affair were cis culated the next
In the course of the evening, liowever, as these reports re-
ceived no confirmation, the minds of the public began to be at
ease ; when an unexpected incident excited the utmost vigilance
of the public authorities.
About eleven o'clock, five volunteer Royalists proceeded from a
house not far from the church of St. Francois, situate in one of
the districts that is inhabited by"the populace.. A cracker flashed
by their side, they immediately exclaimed, that it was the report
of a pistol, and that it proceeded from those soldiers, and they
spread the alarm all round, when more than 10 armed volunteers
rode up and threatened to take them to the prison designed for
negroes, and have them tried. A picquet of the Regiment of
Lancers belonging to Queen Amelia, quartered in that neighbour-
hood, coming up to disperse the rioters, it was immediately
repulsed, as was also a second picquet, though more numerous than
the former. The centre regiment then took arms, and seized
the :avenues leading to the street where thoss occurrences took
place.

M. %limns, Colonel of the Volunteers, shortly after presentei
himself, and endeavoured to appease the soldiers, but in spite of
his popularity, his voice was not attended to. Despairing
of leading • them away by mild 'terms, he himself corn:-
mended the Lancers to charge them. In the mean time the
Captain-Gerieral of the province and the Governor of the place
being informed of these occurrences iirr:ved. At length the Vo-
lunteers determined to separate, and tranquillity was restored in
Madrid.

The French Papers of Monday end Tuesday were
received in town last night by el.press. They do not cot-

taro any news. Of importance. It is admitted, ithtztritlap4,
peared byletterareceived from Corfu, dated 26thilliateln
that Missolcmghi at that time held out; and. that the re-
port of the return of the Greek Fleet from Hydra had
not been confirmed. A letter from Madrid, dated the
6th inst., states that a new convention has been con-
eludey d betvieen the. French and Spanish Governments,
in which it is stipulated that the military occupations
of Spain is to continue till 1829. This report bears the •
stamp of improbability upon it, and the•Etrille declares
it to be wholly unfounded. Extracts from the
Papers are given in another column.

Mr. CRESSET PELHAM brougl4 forward last even-

ing, in the House .of Covirnotis, the,mption of which
he had given notice, " That it is expedient, the Impe-
" rial Parliament of England :11(411(1 be occasionally,
holden in the Capitals other than London." But
the unfortunate Gentleman not having been able to
persuade any Member to second the motion, it of
course fell to the ground. It could hardly indeed
have been expected that another man in the House
would advocate a scheme so entirely inapplicable to the
present state of. things, and so alisol9telyimposilkw
be carried into effeet,_ as ,that of ,lie} ding.;
in Edinburgh,or Dublin. In such a case it would ha

not oily for the King and his Ministers, ,but also for

a subject on which we -should have thought that all
men in their senses were ogrq4 • : .

We received a Hamburgh Mail this morning, but
its contents possess little intere:,t. It appears, by in-
formation.from St. Petersburgh, that the coronation of
the Emperor NICHOLAS is .deferred till the ith of
July, when his AIAJEsTy will enter his 31st year 7
On the 21st of February a smart shock of an earth-
quake was ,fekt, at Torneo,.accompanied with a stormy

The delicate constitution of her Majesty the Empress Elizabeth
cannot bear the damp sea air of Taganrog, and the fogs that fill

aide in the town of Kaluga. It' is said that the Empress Maria
