" Si. PETERSBURGH, MARCH 27.--The Emperor has
addressed to the directing Senate the following Ukase,
dated March 11 :
" As a testimony of our esteem for the distinguishes!
merits of Gaspard Cieciszewski, Roman Catholic Billiton
of Luck, who by his apostolical labours, and his zeal for
the throne and the church, had gained the geed will of our
beloved brother, the Emperor Alexander of glorious me-
mory, we raise that Prelate to the dignity of Metropolitan
Archbishop of the Roman Catholic churches in Russia, re-
taining
pense him from presiding in the Roman Catholic Eccle-
ia i
St. Petersburgh to take the direction of it.'
" By another Ukase, of the same date, the Emperor has

from Luck to St. Petersburgh, to preside, till further
orders, in the first department of the Roman C'atholic Ec-
clesiastical College.
" The ilioniteur of Friday contains, under the head of
Department of Finances,' a comparative table of the pro-
duce of the revenue for the first three months of 1827,
with the produce for the same three months of 1826 and

of 3,892,000 francs, as compared with the first quarter of
/826, and of 3,891,000 francs as compared with the first
quarter of 1825 ; the greatest decrease is in the stamp duties.

"MADRID, Amur. 2.—A very considerable quantity of
powder has been forwarded from Seville to Estremadura
and some parts of Old Castile. A great number of labourers
are employed in St. Joseph's Park, Madrid, in making car
touches. Some are also made at Segovia, and from both
places they are despatched weekly, as they are got ready,
to Ciudad Rodrigo.
" It is generally believed, and besides stated in all the
letters from Old Castile, that the Marquis of Chaves will
snake a new inroad into Portugal before the end of the pre-
sent month. This much is certain, that a part of his
troops is not yet disarmed. The letters already mentioned
likewise state, that the Viscount de Montealegre has re-
turned to Portugal, disguised as a peasant, and intends to
try to get up, through his own influence, an insurrection
in the provinces of Tras-os-Montee and Beira.
" New and more pressing orders have been sent to the
municipal authorities to hasten the completion of the levy
of 25,000 men lately decreed. A considerable fine is im-
posed on those corporations whose contingents shall not be
furnished before the end of May.
Within a feW days of the end of the month just past,
the Governor of Gibraltar unexpectedly received an order
from his Government, to place that fortress in a complete
state of defence ; and the execution of these orders have al-
ready commenced by the demolition of some houses which
had been built without the walls in the plain of St. Roche,
but within the range of the guns of the fort.
" Our Government appears to fear the landing of Consti-
tutionalists on our eastern coasts, and we are assured that
these apprehensions have their origin in the reports which
the police has received from its agents in Lisbon.
Palos, APRIL 15.—The Guerriere frigate, destined to
the Pacha of Egypt, and which has been lately built at
Marseilles, for that purpose, has quitted that pert for Tou-
lon. We are assured that it will sail from that port direct.
for Egypt, with the French corvette the Circe.
(From the Constitutiotind.)
" MADRID, Arius. 3.—A1l the reports in circulation
are generally warlike, and, both within and without the
palace, the most judicious, though they do not believe it im-
mediate, consider it inevitable.
" M. Uses has set off for Paris without his letters of-
credit, which he was told would reach him at Burgos or
at Bayonne; but M. Uzos will perhaps have to expe-
rience the disappointment of not firei;ng those letters even
at Paris ; for I can assure you that on the, day on whirls
it was presumed he would arrive iss that capital, these
letters were not yet forwarded, nor even ready to be sent off.
" A whole community of Portuguese monks has ar-
rived at Zamora. Twenty nuns arrived at the same time.
" We learn from Salamanca that the number of Por-
tuguese refugees in that town is very considerable. There,
as well as at Zamora, these emigrants consist, in a great
proportion, of monks and priests.
" Letters from Catalonia announce that the plan of the
rebel Caralists of Tortosa is to take possession of the Seu
d'Urgel, while feigning to proceed against other places-
This report may be well founded; for au express has beers
sent from thence to the Governer of the Seu d'Urgel, en-

King, praying his Majesty to visit that city to take sets •
baths there, and promising to defray the expense of his
journey.
PARIS, APRIL 12.-.-HOSTILITIES OF THE JESUITICAL
FACTION AGAINST MR. CANNING, THE PROTECTOA Of
THE EMANCIPATION Or visa CATHOLICS.-..-The pOliey of
Mr. Canning has excited, according to the Quotidienne,
alarms iu the party of Old England, because this policy
raises the most dangerous passions. The Quotidienne, a
Journal accredited by a part of the Clergy, applauds the
Duke of Rutland, who expressed to the King of England
the desire of seeing Mr. Canning removed from the Admi-
nistration. It represents this proceeding as an act entirely
monarchical. Thus when this Minister sustains, with the
noblest eloquence, the cause of the unfortunate Catholics of
Iceland—when, horn in the Protestant religion, he &--
mantis Civil and Religious Liberty fur all, that illustrious
citizen wishes to throw England into the vices; of a revolu-
tionary- reform ! What signifies the zeal for the Irish Ca-
tholics, when their defender is exposed to such insults ?
Cease, cease your hypocritical language, ye enemies of the
equality of rights! You wish nothing of the kind; you
use religion when you think to find auxiliaries in its Ali-.
sisters, and you will riot hesitate to racrifice
when men wish to put in practice the maxims which it
hallows. Thus Mr. Canning exposes himself by requiring
the emancipatiou of the Catholics, to lose the popularity
which his talents have acquired him in his country. Our
pretended devotees is France throw off the mask, and do
not blush to declare themselves against him ; he is the ad-
vocate of what they do not want--and that is an equality
of the rights consecrated by the Charter. To destroy it,
hypocrisy, falsehood, ingratitude, every thing is gad
there are no means which they will not employ against
every generous citizen who shall dare to contend that mare
ought to enjoy every where both civil and religious liberty.
(From the Quotidienne.)
" Mane" APRIL 3.—The Gazette of this day con-
tains the details of the rejoicings which have taken place in
the army of the Tagus, on the occasion of the birth-day ct
our dearly beloved Sovereign the Queen. The soldiers,
seized the opportunity of displaying the sentiments by which
they are animated. At the close of the repast given by
General Sarsfeld to the Staff, that Commander, under
salute from all the artillery of the camp, drank the
a.
follow-
ing; toast Tu the King, to her Majesty the Queen,
whose fife we celebrate, to their Highnesses the Infantes,
to all the Bourbons ; and to the hope that the fidelity ell"
the brave army of the Tagus will procure new days of glory
for our Sovereign.' This toast was received with cries of
'Live she King ;' Live the Bourbons.' Ile country
people collected from eight miles round to witness this fie..
" General Long-a, having been acquitted by the Court--
martial which inquired into his conduct, is appointed Cap- ,
tain-General of the provinces of Valencia and Murcia. This
indemnification was due to so loyal a servant of the King.
" The Portuguese Royalists are so persuaded that their
residence in Spain cannot be of long duration, that the
greater part of those who were placed in depots have re-
turned to the towns nearest the frontier. It is generally
thought t'eat the Spanish Government approves their con-
demanded the delivery of the horses belonging
duct. This is certain—that they have not been obstructed
in ;their progress. The Constitutional Generals having
Roy-
alists, General Monet replied, that they could not be re-
stored, because the greater part of them were
and therefore Spanish property.
