Her Royal Highness the Infanta Donnaisabells Maria,
being obliged by the indispensable necessity,of preventing,
the more serious attacks of the disorder from which .she
suffered so much last year, and which began again to
threaten her leave this city on the 22d, to go to
Villa des Caldas de' Rainba, to make use of the waters,
which alone have relieved the painful disorder which caused
such general uneasiness.. The application of this remedy so
urgently called for, both by the severity of the disorder,
and by the salutary effects already experienced, has been
delayed from al regard to the public service, which her
Royal Highness prefers to all other considerations, and
which she now reconciles by inviting the government in
that town to proceed without interruption in its functions.
The Councillor, Minister, and Secretary of State for Ec-
clesiastical Affairs and Justice, will accompany her Royal
Highness to dispatch the most urgent business, the other
Members will remain in this city, to transact the business
of their respective departments.
Her Royal Highness will stay away no longer than is ab-
solutely necessary for the use of the waters, and will return
AS soon as possible to the Capital, of the . constant esteem
and affection of whose inhabitants she is deeply sensible.
The Brazilian vessel .Bornfint arrived yesterday in 59
days from Bahia, by which we learn, that on the 18th of
April an English vessel from Lisbon had brought the me-
lancholy news of 'the death of his Majesty the late. King,
and that his august son sailed on the 22d of March, ac-
companied by the same ships that went with her, and by
a French frigate. It seems that Sir Charles Stuart hardly
staid two days at Bahia, and left it in the same frigate
that brought him. It was not said what was his desti-
_ •
nation.

JUNE 26.—The' Gazette contains a very long Alvara,
to facilitate to members of the regular orders and congre-
gations the admission to the office of teacher in the public
schools. •

We have received also this forenoon the Allgemeine
Zeitung of the 4th instant, from which we make the
following extract :--

BERLIN, JUNE 25.
The subscriptions for the children, women, and aged, in
Greece, are very Satisfactory:. All classes, high and low,
take a warm interest in the cause; yet the calm observer
is of opinion that the Greeks, in whatever light their con-
test may 'be considered, have not hitherto shown them-
selves worthy of the interest that Europe takes in them.
The Prussian Association, which 'is resolved entirely to
steer clear of politics, could not consider itself a branch of
the French and English Societies, which have assumed a
political character. Under those circumstances, the only
thing that could be done is to send a special agent with
the Prussian contribution to that unhappy country.

His MAJESTY'S Commissioners for building new
Churches have presented their Sixth Annual Report,
and this Report will be found in another, column. The
general result of the labours of this Commission, and
of the measures which they now have in contemplation,
may be stated shortly as follows
From the opening of the Commission they have
determined upon and made provision for the erection
of 165 additional. Churches and Chapels, and 64 of
that number either have been, or are ready for con-
secration.
Since their last Report,lB Churches and Chapels
have been .completed, capable of affording accommoda-
tion for 11,690 persons in pews, and for 15,220 poor
persons in free seats.
Seventeen Churches and Chapels are now in pro-
gress.

The Committee have received plans for eleven other
Churches and Chapels, part of which have been re-
ceived—but they have not yet received plans for seven
other Churches and Chapels, which are proposed to be
built at places specified.
The Committee have proposed to make grants in
aid of building Sixty-six New Churches and Chapels,
and four of these are now in progress.
The Committee are proceeding in that part of their
duty which relates to the expediency of dividing pa-
rishes and for obtaining additional burial grounds for
certain parishes.
The CommiSsioners have issued Exchequer Bills
to the amount of 777,2001.

Our readers are of course perfectly aware that the
disputed Sovereignty. possession of the Island of
Shnpooree, formed one of the principal grounds of
the war between this country and the Burmese. Some
documents on this subject have been
printed, in pur-
suance of an Order of the House of Commons, dated
the sth March last, which called for "Copy of any
Document which has been received in England, to
show that the Island of Shapooree • belongs to, or is
within the Territory of the. East India Company, and
from what period, and in what manner it becalm
theirs ;". and it may be interesting to our readers to be
made acquainted with some of the facts stated in these
papers. It appears then, that the Court. of Directors
on the Bth of June, 1825, expressed to the Governor
General in COuncil, their wish to be put in posses-
sion of the fullest evidence of the British right of
sovereignty over this Island ;• and the • reply from the
Governor General in Council forms No. I.of these
papers.
In this despatch it appears that this Island, which
is not more than 20 or 30 acres in extent, indisputably
trey on, the British side of the main 'channel of the
Neal, and therefore from its position, evidently forms
a portion of the Hon. Company's. territory : that it
had been originally granted by Mr. Bird, the Col-
lector. of • the District, in 1790, to the father of two
Chiefs, found in possession in 1815, but that the first
recorded measurement of it was made by British
Officers in 1801, when it was eonsidered to form part
of the revenue division called Monza Tek Naaf. In
1802 it was. granted to a landowner of wealth, who,
however, failed to perform his engagement to clear it.
It.eontinued to be considered as part of our posses-
sion till August, 'lB2B, when RAJA TQOROO WYA
demanded the removal of the British guard from Sha-
,pooree—but without waiting the result of his remon-
stranee, within a month afterwards he proceeded to
carry his threats into 'execution, of applying farce
under the express orders of the King of ANA.
Such are ,the facts of the case with respect to this
Island,' which has become so famous for being the
ostensible cause of the long amid expensive war in
which we have been engaged with the Burmese. But
the'despatch satisfactorily -shows that other and much
more substantial causes' existed for the appeal to arms.
The Governor General in Council, in this despatch,
avidJedfhimself of the opportunity which the enquiry
of
.tlie.Court of Directors afforded, to refer to the
_origin: early events and true causes of the war (which
hid been preyionil/ Stated, in detail to the Secret Com-
inittee), 'which he irpresses a confident hope will have
satisfied the Ciniit *hat the Government of Ava was
determined, Soot-ter or later, to prosecute its extra-
vagant 'PretenSfcms to the possession of our Eastern
131'itriq84.S known hazard of a rupture with the
Vritiiii.poweri and 'that under the cOnibination of ch.-

cumstances, and; position of affairs, which arose out
of the Ourmese aggressions and hostile demonstrations
in 1823-24 on the side both of CHITTAGONG and
SYLTET, recourse to arms could not have beenavoid-
ea On our part, without exposing our honour, our
interest, and the liveS and properties of our subjects
to the.most seriws, perhaps irreparable injury."
The Subsequent paragraphs of the despatch, after
describing various acts of aggression on the part of
the Burmese, state in detail the immediate and direct
Sacrifices which must have been made to purchase a
temporary and precarious peace ; and affirm, " that
the Governor General in Council would have unwor-
thily sacrificed the high interest committed to his
charge,: if he had longer deferred the declaration and
vigorous prosecution of hostilities against, the State
of- Ava." The last paragraphs of the despatch con-
tain a justification of the time of declaring, and mode
of carrying .on„the war.
This document appears to us to be such- an im-
portant record of the causes and conduct Of one of
the most serious wars in which our Eastern Empire
has been engaged, that we shall endeavour to find
space in our columns, on an early daY, for its most
material and interesting parts.

The. Gazette of Lyons states Cat the letters from
Toulon bring accounts that all the ships capa-
ble of putting to sea, and those stationed on the
coast of Spain, have received orders to proceed
to the Levant, where some events are expected
to take place. The Commission, charged to pro-
claim the Duke of Nemours, is to embark on board
the Truite. M. Harcourt and Delavigne are ar-
rived, ' but the Gazette of Lyons does not give
any date to this extraordinary information. The
Moutteur states in a paragraph that M. the Count
Emmanuel Harcourt is to embark at Toulon.

SMYRNA, JUNE 10.—The Volusia, from Glasgow and
Malta, is arrived here, after being plundered of between
30 and 40 packages by Greek Pirates, and the master
wounded. The property taken out of the Helen, Diadem,
and Vohaia, is estimated at least at 18,000/.
Every arrival from Smyrna and Constantinople brings
fresh accounts of the depredations of the Greek Pirates.
Any vessel that proceeds without convoy is sure to be
plundered,'and the captain and crew ill-treated. The fol-
lowing extract of a letter from Smyrna, gives one more to
the outrages already mentioned.

Accounts from Italy say that while the weather here
is so 'hot and dry, the temperature at Naples is at 14
deg. Reaumur, and the atmosphere rainy as in No-
vember. The rains had so swelled the rivers that a
man of the environs of Naples was drowned on the
19th, in attempting to cross one. Several persons
ha\ c been killed by lightning in the province of
Capetanata. On the 14th several shocks of an earth-
quake were felt at different times in the day in Calabria
Ultra Seconda. A shock was also felt at Milan, on
the 24th, at twenty-five minutes past one.

FIRE, IN DRURY-LANE.

This morning about half-past nine o'clock, a destructive
fire broke out at the bake-house of Mr. Penfold, 128,
DriFy-lane, and continued burning with unabated violence
till neatly eleven' o'clock; When it was providentially got
sustained, appears by all accounts,
"to dbe:.conTsihdeerrleag> as" the two adoining houses in Stewart's
Rents, one of which was
,ft chandler's, became ignited,
When the alarm was first given, a loud shriek was heard;
and porNes three femalecappeared at a two-pair of stairs
o
v i out of which they aN,:litlY
y precipitated themselves, but
by good luck were caught by the crowd below in the
street. We have not heard how the accident originated,
but are happy to
state that no lives were lost.

" Newcastle-upon- i yne,., says aletter from that

town, ~ exhibited such a scene of animati di
on Friday last, as is hardly remembered there. About
tmhr. pee o'coafternoon the Hon. l
the
~ T. Liddell,
P, made
ini his
the atriurap
in a most imesing style. Towards four o'clock Mat-
thew Bell, Esq. M. P. entered Newcastle, al so en
grand cortege, amid the ringing of bells, and the
usual demodstrations of popular joy. About seven
o'clock Thomas 'Wentworth Beaumont, Esq. ( who 80
nobly fought and conquereA the Whig faction at the
late election), made his appearance at the entrance
, accompanied into the town, b
a long string of car-
riages, gentlemen on Horseback, Sce. Nothing could
exceed the enthusiasm with which he was received as
his procession passed through the streets to the Turk's
Head. Here the Hon. Gentleman alighted, and
from one of the windows on the first floor, addressed
a very animated harangue to an immense assemblage
of people in front of the hotel, who testified their
approbation by the loudest and most cheering accla-
mations. There is no doubt that when the sense of
the county of Northumberland is again appealed to,
the late worthy Member will be reinstated. The
Freeholders of North Shields have invited Mr. Beau-
mont to a grand dinner on Monday next, at the Com-
mercial, Hotel. It is proper to add, that Mr. Liddell
and a numerous party of friends dined at the Queen's
Head Inn on Friday, in celebration of that Gentle-
man's return to Parliament for Northumberland ; as
did also Mr. Bell and a large party of his friends, at
