" PARIS, JULY 26.—A telegraphic despatch an-
nounces, that two ships of the line, two frigates;
and a corvette, sailed front the roads of Brest yes-
terday, the 25th, with favourable Wind. The two
ships of the line'and the two frigates are going to
the Mediterranean. According to information, the
correctness of which, we believe, may be relied on,
France is said lit this moment to be assembling in
the Mediterranean a much more considerable naval
force than it usually employs there.
" The force is divided principally into the squa-
dron in the Levant, the division which blockades
Algiers, and the cruisers necessary to look after the
pirates which may have been able to escape from
those parts, in spite of the vigilance of his Majesty's
ships.

" The squadron in the Levant is going. to consist
of 23 ships, among which are four of the line, viz.
the Scipio, the Breslau', the Trident, and the Pro-
vence, all of 74 guns ; the Syreft frigate of .58 guns,
the 44-gun frigates, viz, the Armida, the Juno, and
the Magicienne ; four icorvettes, and eleven small
vessels. -
" This vv./Adroit will be entirely ready to act
under the command of the Rear-Admiral Chevalier
de Rigny, about the middle of the month of August,
The number of vessels employed before the voile of
sthe Regency of Algiers is now seveli, hi,a will shortly
'be increased to 12. Among t'h'em are, the Amphitrite
and the Vestal frigates 'Or .58 guns ; the Constance,
Cybele, and the Galathee frigates of 44 guns; a
corvette, and rix smaller vessels. Six other vessels
cruise in different parts of the Mediterranean. For
instance, off Cape Bon, the coast of hilly; the
13atearia Islands, &c. Among those rse two frigates,
the Maria Theresa, of 59 guns, and the Aurora, of
44 guns. Lastly, five brigs and sehooners are em-
ployed in convoying merchantmen on the two prin-
cipal lines from. Marseilles to Cadiz, and froth Mar-
seilles to the Archipelago. Thus the Mediterranean
alone employs nearly SO ships of the Royal Navy,
indevmdently of those stationed at Barcelona. In
the ocean, above 60 other vessels, nine of which are
frigates, are stationed at Cadiz, on the west coast of
Africa, in India, South America, the Antilles, and
Newfoundland; some cruising along the coast of
Spain, to look after the Arneocan cruisers, which
under pretence of injuring the Spanish commerce,
• have committed depredations on board of French
vessels. Never, at any time of peace, was there so
much activity in the porta of the kingdom: the late
armaments have been completed- with remarkable
celerity. And of the 29 vessels, (of which four are
of the line, and eight frigates), the orders for arming
which for 'extraordinary service have been latterly
given, there remain only four or five brigs to put to
sea, the latest e 2 which will probably be dispatched
before the (rad of next month."

" ST. PETERSBURGN, JULY 10.—On the 7th of
this month, being the anniversary of the Emperor's
:;firth-day, Te Detsln was chanted in the Casan Ca-
thedral, and in all the churches of this capital, and in
the evening the city was illuminated. The day was
also keßt at Karekojeselo, where their Majesties now
are. After divine service the Emperor and Empress
re'•eived the usual felicitations in the Palace of
Alexander. In the evening the town, and the boats
on the great lake in the garden, were illuminated ;
and great numbers of persons who came from St.
Petersburgh walked in the garden till night.
" By an Ukase of the same day, his Majesty con-
ferred on Baron Diebitch, chief of the staff, the
dignity of Count of the Empire, transmissible to his
descendants. The ukase contains the following
passage :

" It has been agreeable to us to think that we
should always find in you in future one of those
men on whose teal we may the most confidently de-
pend for the accomplishment of our designs in favour
of the empire which God has confided to our care,
as well as the subject of immoveable fidelity, always
acting according to the principles of true honour,
and who was justly honoured with the especial
favour of our glorious brother, to the very last mo-
ment of his beneficent existence.'
" PARIS, JULY 27.—The Prince de Polignac is
expected at Paris to-day or to-morrow."
(Prom the Journal des Debats.)
" A letter from Lisbon, dated July 11, says—
' The Austriaa Charge d'Affaires lately requested
an audience of the Princess Regent, in order to corn-
. municate to her despatches which he had re-
ceived from his Court. He added, that he was
desirous that the whole i;i ornatic body should be
present at the communication which he had to make.
An audience was granted him some days afterwards.
This diplomatist asked whether Don Miguel could,
conformably to the existing constitution, come to
Portugal to assume the reins of Government, as
soon as he attained his 25th year. The Princess
Regent answered, that as sister of Don Miguel, she
was desirous to accommodate herself to his wishes,
arid to preserve peace in her family and tranquillity in
her country, especially as the burden of Government
was too much for her strength to support ; but that
the existing Regency was not the Regency fixed by
the Charter,—that there was no minority at present,
and the Government of the kingdom had been con-
ferred upon her by her father, and confirmed to her
by her brother and king ;—that of herself she could
determine nothing ;—and that it was to the king her
brother that such a communication as she had just
received ought to be made.
" We are informed, that the English Ambassador
declared, that upon this question he could do nothing
more than preserve silence, since it related to the
domestic affairs of Portugal. He likewise declared,
in obedience to the instructions he has received from
his government, that he would never consent to the
interference of any foreign Power in the internal af-
fairs of that country."
WARSAW, JULY 14.—The different corps of the
first Russian army, it is said, under the orders of Ge-
neral Count Sacken, are to be concentrated in Bes-
sarabia. Several movements have already taken
place. It is added that a corps of from twenty-five
ro thirty thousand men will be formed in the Grand
Duchy of Posen, and that it will proceed towards
the frontiers.

MADRID, JULY 16.—One of the richest houses of
this capital, the house of Urionagoena,has just failed
for twelve • millions of reels. The Jesuits claim
35,000 dollars, the chest of the Royalist Volunteers
900,000 reels, and the heirs of Camara Cano, the
late Corregidor, 1,500,000 reels. All these sums
were placed as deposits. It is said that the house
cnly requires a delay of four months to make good all
its payments. The declaration of insolvency has
astonished all Madrid, and it is the general subject
of conversation.
The troops to be sent to Catalonia are to be aug-
mented to 6,000 men and a Royal Commissary, in-
vested with extraordinary powers, is to be sent
thither.
