FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH .PAPERS.
(From the Journal du Debats.)

" LISBON, MAT 20.—General Pamplona, Count
de Subserra, on his return from* Paris about the end
of April, received from our Government an official

notice not to appear at Court, and even to remove
from Lisbon. As he continued to reside here, an
order was sent to him, positively enjoining him to
leave the capital ; but it appears that the order was
revoked by the influence of some Peers, friends of
the General, who now appears even to enjoy some
favour.

" PARIS, JUNE 14.—P.S. Alas ! It is now no
longer possible for us to doubt the defeat of the
Greeks under the walls of Athens. The confirma-
tion of this melancholy intelligence arrives from all
uarters.

" We are assured that the details published by the
German journals are not correct ; but it appears too
certain that 2,500 Greeks have fallen. At the de-
parture of the last accounts 3,000 Greeks, under
General Church, were on the heights of Phalera ;
and on the 16th of May—that is- to say, ten days
after the sanguinary defeat of the Greeks-Lthe Acro-
polis still held out. It will be recollected that 4,000
had marched in the direction of A.somato, to the
north of the Pirseus, to attack the rear of the Turkish
fortified position in the wood of Olives, while the
other corps were to attack it in front. On the 4th,
Karaiskaki attacked the Turks, and was killed, with
300 of his followers. On the 6th, the action took
place with the troops of the fleet, the disembarka-
tion of which had been effected. They were at-
tacked by 8,000 men sent against them by Redschid
Pacha, and the defeat of the Greeks was horrible.
Of 22 Philhellenians, 18 were killed. Lord Cochrane,
with great difficulty, succeeded in getting on board
one of his boats by swimming, and General Church,
in rallying the Greeks, was nearly taken. This disas-
ter is the more fatal, as all the efforts of the Greeks had
collected 10,000 men to be landed for the deliverance
of Athens • as the expedition was extremely well con-
ducted, and the Seraskier was to have been attacked
on two sides at once. It was the Turkish cavalry
which spread disorder in the ranks of the Greeks,
whose first success seemed to promise farther advan-
tages. This fatal affair occurred on the 6th. The
whole of the Greek fleet was, employed in the dis-
embarkation. A very honourable capitulation hav-
ing been offered to the Greeks in the Acropolis,
they answered that if the Pacha wanted their arms
he might come and take them, and that they would
not surrender the citadel but with their lives. On
the 13th Lord Cochrane was traversing the islands
of the Archipelago, asking fresh reinforcements.
(The other Paris papers give the same intel-
ligence as the above, which appears to have been
copied from the Mode, dated Friday.)
(From the Constitutionnel.)
" LissoN, MAY 29.—" The captain of a vessel,
arrived last week from Rio de Janeiro, brought a
second despatch from Don Pedro for Dr. Abrantes,
which he was ordered to deliver into the Doctor's
own hands. The Minister for Foreign Affairs de-
manded the despatch, and the Captain applied to
the Princess for protection from the menaces which
followed his refusal to comply with the Minister's
order. It is said that the Princes disapproved of
Almeida's conduct, and took the despatch herself.

" On the same day (May 27) it was publicly re-
ported that the Princess had suddenly dismissed
Don Francisco d'Almeida, and had placed the Finance
Minister, Baron de Sobral Hermann, at the head of
the department of Foreign Affairs. Senhor Almeida
was preparing to remove to Cintra; but a well-
known diplomatic influence having again covered
him with that aegis which has hitherto furnished him
with the means of resisting public opinion, his
Excellency re-appeared yesterday in his office.
" Since the arrival of
.the last despatches from
England to Sir W. A'Court, the marked misunder-
standing which prevailed between that Minister and
General Clinton has ceased, at least ostensibly. It
is reported that the reconciliation has been effected
by two letters addressed by a high personage—one
to the Minister, and the other to the General.
" General Saldanha, Minister of War, finding it
impOoible to obtain from the Finance Department
the Lowey necessary to pay the troops, applied, to
Esteven Costa, a rich merchant, and Vice-President
of the Lisbon bank, who has lent the Minister
1,200,000 francs on his own personal security."

CONSTA'NTINOPI.E, MAY 25.—The Acropolis
is near its fall. News has been received
from the theatre of war, that the attempt
made by Admiral Cochrane and General Church,
and Karaiskaki, 'to deliver that bulwark of Greece,
has totally failed. After several days' battle, the
Greeks were completely defeated OTI the 6th of
May, and iost the flower of their troops, nearly 3,000
men being k:lled or wounded : among the former
are eight Captaks and the brave Karaiskaki. They
fought with unparaii,:led bravery. The Ipsariots and
Alissolongbites are said to have behaved like lions.
" All hope of saving OK" Acropolis being lost,
Lord Cochrane invited the French Admiral, Rigny,
to propose to the Seraskier a capitulation for the
garrison. Redschid Pacha did not app ear inclined
to grant it : however, he consented, on condition
that the besieged should leave their arms behind.
Envoys; with flags of truce, were accordingly Rent
to the Acropolis, to draw up the articles of the ca-
pitulation; but the heroic garrison, certain, besides,
of the fate that awaits them, declared that they
would not lay down their arms, and that they would
rather blow up the fortress, and perish under the
ruins of the last remaining monuments of ancient

Greece.
" After this resolution, which must excite the
svmwthy of all Europe,.we may foresee the fate of
the Acropolis; and though the banner of the Cross
still waved on its walls on the 16th of May, Athens,
like Ipsara, Scio, and Missolonghi, will soon be no
more than a heap of ruins. It may be conceived
what impression these events must make here, in
conjunction with diplomatic negotiations which are
now pending.—Gazette of Augsburg.
" PARIS, JUNE 15.—The affair of M. Maubreuil
has been decided to-day by the Royal Tribunal.
The court, considering that Maubreuil struck vo-
luntarily ,-nd with premeditation Prince Talleyrand,
that he has .11ready been condemned by the Tribunal
of Douay, col:demns him, like the Judges of the
Tribunal of the i'irst Instance, to five years' impri-
sonment.

" LIES OV THE DAY.
" The Journal du Contineree.—The Dauphin did
not attend the Council on Wednesday, because the
question of the censorship was again agitated.
" The same.—A Russian fleet, of nine sail of the
line and nine frigates, is going to sail from Cron-
tadt to the Mediterranean.
" The Courier Frangais.—A courier from Rome
arrived at St. Cloud while the Council was as-
sembled to debate on the re-establishment of the
censorship. This message had some influence on
the decision of the Council.
" The same.—Two autograph letters have been
written, one by George W. the other by Charles X.;
the object of each of which is to invite the King of
Spain to adopt a system of Government less op-
posed to that followed in France and Portugal.
" The Quotidienne and Courier Francais.—The
French garrison is engaged in putting Pampeluua ,
into a good state of defence : waggons loaded with
ammunition daily arrive in the citadel.
" The Journal des Debals.—lt appears certain that
the Spanish army will be dissolved, or at least that ,
it will retire to the distance of 60 leagues from the
frontiers. This measure is the result of the nego-
ciation3 of Mr. Lamb.
" The Indicateur.—Letters from Lisbon say that
three depots of Spanish deserters have been formed;
there are about 5,000 officers and privates.
