(PRIV►TE CORRESPONDENCE.)
NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, MARCH 2. Fhe death of
the unfortunate Colonel Bourbacki is confirmed.—
His head was carried in triumph by the Turks up
to the'walls of the Acropolis. The Greeks compo-
sing the garrison, alarmed at the ill success of the
troops of the camp without, sent out in the night
two brave Palicari, who passed through the enemy's
army to get to the Pirus in order to obtain correct
information respecting this unfortunate affair. They
found the Greeks very well fortified there, and learnt
that Karaiskaki had just gained a brilliant victory.
Then the troops in the Pirus, in concert with the
garrison of the Acropolis, attacked the Seraskier in
his camp.
This attack was completely success al ; the Greeks
entirely defeated the Turks, took a great quantity
of provisions, &c. -and returned into the fortress,
which has now a very good stock of provisions.
In this sally the heroine, Madame Goura, wife of
the celebrated General of that name, was killed at
the head of her troops, after having shewn herself
worthy of the reputation of her husband. Karais-
kaki has fixed his camp at Eleusis, where he has
effected his junction with the old Caratasso and the
patriot Coletti.
Omer Pacha, after having been defeated by Ka-
raiskaki, at Distomo, took to flight, leaving all his
baggage and artillery, which now serves the Greeks.
A great number of his men were taken prisoners,
who were put to death, to revenge the assassination
of Bourbacki.

The Hellas frigate, commanded by Miaulis, is at
Negropont with a strong division, to hinder provi-
sions from reaching_ the camp of the Seraskier. The
Government is taking the most energetic measures
to drive the Turks from before Athens. Fabvier is
still in the Acropolis. Missoloughi is closely bloc-
kaded by General Makri ; that place must soon sur-
render, being in want of provisions.
Admiral Cochrane and General Church have not
vet appeared in these parts. Commodore Hamilton
is still at Egina, the seat of Government, while Ad-
miral de Rigny remains at Smyrna, and does not
chew himself any more in our seas.

The American crew of the Hellas has returned to
America, on board a frigate of that nation.
Miaulis is appointed High Admiral of the whole
Greek Navy. Paulucci, who commanded the Aus-
trian squadron, is succeeded by Dandolo.
Mavrocordato has been banished to Syria, by a
decision of the Government. Dr. Baily continues to
merit the esteem of the Greeks, by his humanity to
the sick. He is now attending Colonel Raybaud,
whose wounds are beginning to heal.
The new Assembly is to meet at Castri. It is
generally believed, that the seamen will make Con-
duriotti 'President of the Government; but the army
would prefer Count Viario de Capo d'lstria, brother
to the Ex-Russian Minister.
THE ENGLISH MINISTRY.
(From the Journal des _Debuts.)
PARIS, APRIL 11.—We have never ceased to be-
lieve in the triumph of Mr. Canning. Our predic-
tions are -completely fulfilled. The English Jour-
nals of the 12th, which have reached us by express,
announce that Mr. Canning is nominated Prime Mi-
nister and First Lord-of the Treasury, offices which
are ordinarily united.
The Journal des Debau here quotes from the
English Papers the names of the Ministers who
had resigned, and other particulars respecting the
late changes. In translating Mr. Tierney's remark,
" Seven members of the Cabinet have run away,"
the French Editor says, " Sept membrcs du Cabinet
se sont sauces." The next version will probably be
"Se sont perdus." The Journal afterwards goes on
to say—
The retirement of Mr. Peel is that which has
most surprised us in the revolution which has just
taken place in the English Cabinet. We never Le-
lieved in the existence of a serious rivaiship be-
tween Mr. Peel and Mr. Canning, and an article
which we have quoted above foul an English Jour-
nal, proves that the general opinion of England did
not recognise, as we have repeatedly stated, any
difference between those two Ministers, except on
the question of Catholic Emancipation. Perhaps
Mr. Peel, out of delicacy, thought hiviself obliged
to follow on this occasion the fortunes of his ancient
patron Lord Elden. The next arrivals, in inform-
ing us, without doubt, of the choice of the succes-
sors of the Ministers who have resigned, will fix our
judgment in respect to the causes of their retreat.
But we affirm, ,Iready, that in France, as in Eng-
land, every wise man will concur in rejoicing at the
elevation of Mr. Canning; it is the triumph of ra-
tional ideas throughout Europe.

(From the Constitutionnel.)
The highly important question of the English
Ministry is at length decided; the question was a
complicated one ; it was to be determined whether
the English Ministry should he Anti-Catholic or
Impartial. Lord Wellington and Mr. Peel felt they
could no longer support the burden of an Anti-
National Administration, and they yielded place to
Mr. Canning. This is an example by which our
Ministers would do well to profit. If our congre-
gationists had any modesty, they would rejoice to
see Mr. Canning, the advocate for the Emancipa-
tion of the Irish Catholics, at the helm of affairs ;
but then Mr. Canning protects the constitutional
liberties of the Portuguese—that is the crime which
our religiosi cannot pardon.
(From the Quotidienne.)
Great joy to the camp of the Liberals.; great joy
to the office of the Etoile, and the Cabinet of M.
de Villele ! Mr. Canning is nominated Prime Mini-
ster ! The Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Welling-
ton, Earl Bathurst, Mr. Peel, the Earl of Westmor-
land, Lord Bexley, and Lord Lowther, that is to
say, the whole of the men who yet preserve any
sound ideas of order, and aristocracy, have given in
their resignation! Mr. Canning has been called on to
form a new Ministry; it is thought that. he will call
Lord Granville, Ambassador at Paris, his most intimate
creature, and that he will give to Mr. Huskisson, the re-
presented ve,par excellence, of the radical party of Eng-
land,a more elevated position. At all events, tberetreat
of some of Mr. Canning's colleagues, is a very remark-
able fact, and one which marks the spirit in which the
new Ministry will he formed. How far does Great
Britain mean to go in thus placing at the head of
her affairs a Minister who has made an appeal to re-
volution, and who has insulted all. the Crowns in
Europe ? It is of no use to tell us that Mr. Can-
ning is not himself a Radical, that his opinions are
not revolutionary. Under his present circumstances,
Mr. Canning is not merely a man, he is in himself a
system—he enters upon office as the man of a party.
It is Radicalism that bears him on—Radicalism will
sway him. There can be no doubt of that. Wit-
ness the joy of the English newspapers devoted to
that way of thinking. Can Mr. Canning go on for
any length of time ? This is what the first discus-
sions will show us. The retreat of the whole of the '
Statesmen who composed the Cabinet will multiply
his difficulties. We have not forgotten that already
the opinion of Mr. Peel has triumphed in one grave
question, even in the Commons ; a fortiori, what
will it do in the Lords ? The opposition there is
likely to be so powerful, that we doubt if Mr. Can-
ning will be able to obtain a vote on one important
question, such, for example, as the Corn Laws. W
may be allowed to remark on the disinterestedness,
we are bold to say the patriotism, of the seven
English Ministers who have given in their resigna-
tions. In England Statesmen comprehend theforms
of Government, and do not look on their offices as a
property which they are enjoying. This last cir-
cumstance ought singularly to diminish the joy of
the Etoile on the nomination of Mr. Canning; for
the seven Ministers who are gone, what an example
do they give—what an augury !
(From the Journal des Debuts.)
PAIs The Gazette de Florence
states,R but'AwPitßlif' without guaranteeing the authenticity of
the intelligence, that Lord Cochrane has arrived in
the seas of the Morea, and that Athens is free.
The coma-lotions in Catalonia have assumed a

serious aspect. Doubts can no longer be enter-
tained of a vast conspiracy in favour of Charles V.,
having been organised there, and, although the In-
surgents have already been repulsed on two or three
points, every thing leads to the belief, that they are
far from having renounced their projects. The
Journals of the South, we have received, concur in
stating, that if tranquillity do not very speedily he
re-established in that Province, so favourable as is
well-known to partial insurrections, our troops will
have the greatest need of reinforcement. The fol-
lowing is an extract from the Thoulouse Journals of
the 10th of April :
BARCELONA, APRIL s.—The flames of insurrec-
tion appear to be blazing throughout the whole
province. From every quarter, advices on this oc-
casion are arriving from the local authorities, civil,
military, and judicial. Sedition was reigning, first
in the environs of Tortola; it has burst out in the
corregimiento3 of Gerona and Figueras. Those of
Vich and INlaureza have also vielded to the same in-
fluence, which looks as if it would extend its empire
to the camp of Tarragona also. The correginiiento of
Lerida, the Conques, the district of Urgel, the
Cerdagna, have not yet been smitten with the con-
tagion, but there is much too good reason for fear
in these two last named districts. The objects of
the revolters are not known ; meanwhile, by their
acclamations, they insult whatever Monarchical
Governments hold most sacred or most dear.--
Proclamations are talked of, and flags with dreadful
emblems. Such are t;.;-! public rumours, and terror
reigns every where. Tne wealthy, either influenced
or compromised by past events, are quitting their
homes, and seeking refuge in walled towns. We
shall have need of a reinforcement if tranquillity be
not very soon restored throughout the province.
The tranquillity of the city of Barcelona has not
been disturbed. Some arrests have, however, taken
place. It is asserted that a Mayor of one of the
principal towns of Upper Catalonia, and one of his
coadjutors, who wished to indulge in some hostile
demonstrations against the partisans, have been as-
sassinated. The governor of Gerona, having .?tit
some infantry gens d'armes (niosos) to a commune
to arrest-an individual, the tocsin of a number of
neighbouring villages was sounded, and they were
forced to retire.

FRONTIERS oR CATALONIA, APRIL 6.—A gene-
ral movement was about to take place in a part of
Catalonia ; its execution was even begun. Public
opinion had been generally manifested against the
leaders, who abuse the name of the heir-presump-
tive of the Crown of Spain. It appears that every
town of Lampourdan was to furnish a certain num-
ber of men, who were to form a junction with the
detachments that came down from the highlands.—
At Rippol the Royalist volunteers conducted them-
selves well. They opposed the movement of the
people, but as they were the minority they were
disarmed. The assemblage of armed men which set
out from Rippol arrived too late before Cardona, so
that this new species of insurgents, which had come
from another quarter, not being sufficiently strong,
missed their aim at this place, which being fortified,
would have been an important rallying point for
them. They were vigorously driven back by a great
number of the inhabitants and royalist volunteers.—
This check re-established tranquillity at Manreza
and Solzona. There can be no doubt that this
rising had extensive ramifications throughout Spain.
Many of these assemblages, which may at present
be regarded as mostly put down, have levied con-
tributions on the villages.
