LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 21, 1629.

A French Paper, received this morning, states

that despatches have been sent to General Gulag'
MINOT, the French Ambassador, ordering his retort'
to Constantinople. This is probably to act in con•
cert with Mr. GORDON, our Ambassador Extraot&
nary, for it is evident that prompt measures oust
now be adopted to bring the affairs of the East O.
final settlement. Though the Russians and Ter"
have an undoubted right to make war upon Oeb
other as independent states, yet it cannot be u'l'na
tained that they have any right to injure the coos'
merce and impair the good understanding subsi!tlt°
between neutral nations, by persisting in a ge,
which cannot be confined within the respeCtile
boundaries of the belligerent parties. If Russia ell
Turkey are resolved on continuing the war, Enit'W
and France are called on by a due regard to Vlpt
own interests to adopt such measures as may
protect them from the consequenees invariablV7-
suiting from the nature of such a war as thet
which the Russians and Turks are engaged.

The contents of the French Journals relate chi&
to discussions about the conduct of the Ministrip an
the probability or improbability of CHATEAuDitIODs
accession to the Cabinet as Minister for Foreign
Affairs.

The Mcssagcr des Chanabrcs quotes a letter from
Ancona, stating that movements of importance are
taking place among tho combined squadrons in the
Mediterranean with reference to the settlement of
the Greek Question, and that preparations are 141S°
making in the lonian Islands, the garrisons of which
have been reinforced. The letter observes, tlll4
" the abode of the French Plenipotentiary, Coung
GLILLEMINOT, will doubtless depend on the moot
in which the SULTAN and his Divan shall receive
the invariable proposals of the three Powers restive
to Greece, and which now includes, besides an *z'
tension of the new state, the form of government."
namely, a constitutional monarchy—which i 5 t°.11611
given to it, and the nature of its future relations Wit
the Ottoman Porte."

Accounts from the Banks of the Danube, dates
the llth inst., state that a Grand Council of 'B'll-
-
was convoked at Vienna, where all the Genera
Chief commanding troops in the Provinces Wert
assembled, but the object of the Council was 1)°
known. It had probably some reference to the re'
sumption of the war by the Russian!.

Madrid Gazettes of the 9th April have been re'
ceived; they contain some accounts from Mexico,
strongly characterised by party feelings, as will be
seen by the following sentence :—" The Chief
loses an action is beheaded by the enemy, for p°
quarter is given ; and he who gains it is assassinated
by his own troops, that he may not gain power 8
destroy the equilibrium of their insane equality"

IBy the packet from the Havannah, which arrived 11,
' yesterday, we have received letters and journals of the
of Cuba, to the 28th Feb., and with them accounts
fr
various parts of America.
The Censor de Vera Cruz, No. 166, contains thi
following article, dated Jan. 29 :
" An English brig has arrived here from the coast ?:
Guatemala. The Captain, and a passenger named OW,

The Madrid Gazette contains no further accounts of
the effects of the earthquake, nor any notice of more re-
cent shocks.

tietnian Papers of the 14th inst. have been re-
ceived, but they only contain two paragraphs worth
extracting. If we tray credit the last, a new con-
tention has been entered into between England,
prance, and Russia, and signed on the 20th March,
by which :Russia is left at liberty to prosecute the
tear with Turkey while France and England are to
enjoy the honour of arranging the affairs of Greece.
As a further inducement for their acceding to this
arrangement, Greece is to have a greater extent of
territory and a monarchical form of Government.
But who is to supply the Monarch ? We appre-
hend there is more fancy than fact in this conven-
