CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 4.:--The rejection of
the proposals of Russia and England, in favour of
the Greeks, was made by the Porte, in the separate
conferences of the Reis Effendi with the Dragomans
of the European Ambassadors. The latter have
drawn up, a statement of the negative declaration of
the Reis Effendi, and the Ambassadors have dis-
patched couriers, to inform their Courts of the re-
sult of their efforts. The Reis Effendi has not given
them a formal note. The Austrian Interntmcio has
since had another conference with the Reis Effendi,
who, it is said, has only referred him to the answer
made to the other Ministers ; and he is even re-
ported to have added, that the Porte was astonished
that such proposals should have been made to it.
A note is now spoken of, as being to be presented
to the Reis Effendi, by all the Ministers of the
European Powers collectively.
h is affirmed, that in the next campaign, the Ot-
toman fleet will be placed under the command of the
Pacha of Egypt and his son, as soon as it has quitted
the Dardanelles.

MADRID, APRIL 26—yesterday was a Court-
day, on account of the birth-day of the Queen Dow-
ager of Portugal.
The Princess of Beira set out this morning, for
Aranjuez, to which place the state of her health al-
lowed her to go.
The King has just conferred the Grand Cross of
St. Ferdiaand on Major-General D. Francisco Le-
maur for the share which he had in the defence
of St. Jean d'Ulloa, before Brigadier-General Cop-
pinger.
he Madrid Gazette of the 24th contains ad-
dresses of congratulation from the Municipalities of
Malaga and Cuenca on the Manifesto of Jan. 11.
The remains of the Catalonian insurrection are at
present confined to ihe mountains about Puycerda.
The differeneser which had arisen in the Province of
Guipuscoa, with-respect to the Royalist Volunteers,
and which seemed on the point of being terminated
amicably, have-now taken rather a serious turn.
The Captain-General has received orders from. Ma-
drid, to disband the old militia, and organise in their
stead corps of royalist volunteers, and as the Depu-
tation has hitherto opposed this change, as it is con-
trary to local institution, the same Captain General
is, by all possible means, to hinder it from meeting to
deliberate on the subject. He has lost no time in
communicating this order to the Deputation.
PARIS, MAY 7.—M. Camacho, Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs of the United States of Mexico, and
Minister Plenipotentiary from that Republic to the
English Government, sets out to-day from Paris, for
London, where he will, doubtless, soon receive the
ratification of the treaty of commerce which he has
consolidated with the English Government. As
soon as the ratifications are exchanged, M. Camacho
will return to Mexico, to resume his functions as
Minister; and M. Rocafueite, who went to Mexico
with the treaty concluded by 111. Camacho, to lay it
before the Government for its ratification, will, pro-
bably, return with it to London, and resume his
former functions of Minister Plenipotentiary from
the Republic.
The Diplomatic Agents of Mexico, who had
hitherto been considered only as confidential agents,
without any public character; without any Consular
authority, have been acknowledged by the King,
and, in this quality, enjoy all the rights, immunities,
and privileges, attached to the employments with
which they are entrusted by their Government.
Royal patents have also been sent to the French
agents in Mexico.
The Princess Regent of Portugal has just ordered
the Spanish refugees, among whom is Romeri
Afpuenti, to quit Portugal.
(From the Quotidienne.)
MADRID, APRIL 26.—The Minister for Foreign
Affairs has received the official intelligence of Mr.
Canning's triumph. The preponderance of this
personage gives great vexation to the friends of mo-
narchical ideas. It is with reason feared that the
progress which liberalism made when he was only
in a secondary situation, will increase in proportion
to his power. It is also feared, that he may require
from M. de Villele a co-operation which that Mini-
ster would not venture to refuse him.
PARIS, MAY 6.—A Journal of this morning
affirms, that orders hatie been giien for several corps
of military to advance towards Paris, and that, al-
ready, some regiments of cavalry are cantoned at
Sablonville, and in the environs of the Chateau de
Madrid; and that the inhabitants of Clichy and Ba-
tignoles have received notice to hold themselves in
readiness for lodging troops. We give this piece of
news without vouching for its truth, for we have no
means of verifying the facts, We equally abstain
from copying the remarks which appear in the Jour-
nal that communicates it
The day before yesterday a Courier from St. Pe-
terbtvgh arrived at the Russian Ambassador's. On
the same day, Count Pozzo di Borgo, dispatched to
London, as a Courier extraordinary, the Count de
Meden.

7 PARIS, MAY 6.—We are prompted, at the pre-
sent moment, to turn our eyes towards a country,
the example of which deserves at least to be studied,
if not followed. The last sitting of the English
Parliament is a great spectacle, where the Ministers
who are out, as well as those who are in power,
state before their colleagues, the one the cause of
their withdrawal from, office, and the others the rea-
sons of their continuance there. These Parliamen-
tary forms afford great and useful 'lessons to a
people whose constitutional education is beginning,
and will be completed in spite of all obstacles which
were hoped to be cast in its way, Every sincere
man who coolly reads the debates in the House of
Commons, must allow that every thing there
breathes the spirit of the representative system.
Let us hope that our Parliamentary discussions will
soon afford this consoling impression.
New writs being required for the election of
the Members who have accepted new situations, an
opptartunity was afforded for the eloquence and jus-
tification of Mr. Peel, and the no less brilliant an-
swer of Mr. Canning. ;Neither feared to be ques-
tioned. Asking questions is the daily practice of
the English Parliament : Ministers and Deputies
arrive there, the former under the necessity of ask-
ing, and the latter•with the consciousness of a duty
imposed on them to answer. And let no one ima-
gine that these open and loyal communications be-
tween the Clown, and the Nation decrease the
ageenclancy oithe formes: on the-contrary, they an-
nounce that its interests are those .of the people.
That is far different from
-the dark distrust which is
spread in an assembly, by that tight given to the
Ministers of being silent on every thing which ex-
cites a difference of opinion, and which often causes
us to regret their silence when they determine :to
break it t•

MADRID, APRIL 26.—The Minister of Finance
arrived the day before yesterday, about mid-day, on
his return from Aranjuez. The King has given him
orders to collect, at eysry cost, the necessary funds
to be sent to Talaveira7for the 2d Regiment of the
Guard, in order to take from it every pretext for
prolonging its disobedience of the orders it has re-
ceived, in common with all the other corps d'armec
a the Reserve, to set out on its march for Truxillo.

•The Portuguese refugees
lately made an irruptiop Jmo

Portugal, but they were soon driven back by the
troops of the Regency. The report of this affair
sent to the War Department, contains an important
fact, which will at least cause a recommencement of
our diplomatic disputes with England and Portugal.
It appears that some of the Regency's troops
crossed the frontier, on which they found no military
force, and which is, besides, scarcely marked out as
the point where the rebels passed—that the Com-
mandant of Monterey assembled the militia, and
marched to the frontier—and that some shots were
exchanged between the militia and the Portuguese
Constitutionalists. If reports may be believed, the
troops of the Regency carried with them, on their
return into Portugal, about 30 of our militia.
