LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 17, 1827.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday, and the Etoile of
Thursday morning, were received in due course last
night.
The Quotidienne asserts positively that the INFANT
DON MIGUEL is expected very soon in Paris, and
that, after a short stay, he will proceed, not to Brest,
but to Madrid. This statement is, however, classed
by the Etoile under " Lies of the Day."
The Journal des Debats says, that it is no longer
doubtful that important negotiations have been com-
menced at Constantinople for the pacification of
Greece. The - discussion of the law on the Slave
Trade commenced on Tuesday, and, as the name of
one person only remained inscribed to speak upon
this subject, it was expected that the Project would
be adopted without delay.
(From the Etoile, dated Thursday, March 15.)
" LIES OF THE DAY.
. •__

" PARIS, MARCH 14.—The Quotidienne—lt seems certain,
that the Infant Don Miguel is expected very shortly at Paris ; we
can affirm that lodgings are already bespoken for that Prince in
the Hotel Meurice. It is also asserted, that the Noble Infant,
after a short stay at Paris, will set out, not for Brest, but for
Madrid.
" The Augsburg Gazette announces in a letter from Mentz,
that negotiations have been opened at Aix-la-Chapelle, between
Prussia and the Netherlands, for the conclusion of a treaty of
commerce, and the removal of the difficulties relative to the navi-
gation of the Rhine. The conferences are conducted on the part
of Prussia by M. Delius, who has given numerous proofs of en-
lightened views and distinguished talents.
" The purchase of the brig on board which Lord Cochrane
has sailed, the fitting it out, and arming it, &c., have cost 260,000
francs. His Lordship takes with him, for the purposes of his
expedition, a sum of about 200,000 francs. Besides this, his
Lordship is to remit to the Committee at Napoli, which is to pay
the crew and the troops under his command, 155,000 francs in
money and bills of exchange ;in all, 615,000 francs. On com-
municating these particulars to the Committee at Geneva, M.
Eynard adds__' In the state of penury in which Greece now is,
it was highly important for the success of the projects of Lord
Cochrane, and the necessary preservation of harmony, that that
Admiral should be able to maintain his crews, and even to pay,
and support the troops which he might require from the Govern-
ment. In order that this expedition might not in any manner be
an expence to exhausted Greece, several cargoes of provisions have
been sent out for the use of the squadron.' "

The reports which we mentioned yesterday through
the French Papers, of the Spanish Army of Observa-
tion having fallen back a short distance from the Fron-
tier, have been confirmed by letters from Madrid to
the 7th inst. Various causes for this movement are
assigned : one says that it is owing to the difficulty
of procuring forage and other necessaries for the
troops : another, that it has been done to allow the
Portuguese Refugees to find an asylum in Spain with-
out meeting with troops to disarm them :, a third, that
FERDINAND is not desirous actuallyio bring his

-
troops at present in collision with the Portugue-se or
British forces : and a fourth, that lie has no real inten-
tion of going to war, but has made the Portuguese
business a pretence for raising an army and filling his
coffers at the expence of the Apostolicals, against
whom both will be hereafter employed. The latter is
altogether improbable, for we suspect that his MA,
„TESTY would have found it a difficult task to outwit
the Priests and others of the Apostolical party who
surround his sacred person. The real cause of the
change of the position of the Spanish troops is pro-
bably to be traced to the apprehension of some act
taking place, if they remained close to the frontier,
which might commit the Government of Spain before
all its preparations were complete. As soon as they
are we shall hear of no more retrograde movements.

The .Allgemeine Zeitung of the 10th instant, and
Hamburgh Papers of the 6th, have been received this
morning, from which we make the following extracts :

TRIESTE, 3IARCII 2

A private letter from Corfu, of 13th Feb. affirms, that the
ruins of Missolonghi were taken possession of on the sth Feb.
in the evening, by the Greeks, in whose eyes they must be classic
ground. We look for the confirmation of this intelligence.
BUCHAREST, FEB. 20.
A Courier who left Constantinople on the Sth instant, has
passed through this city, but the Austrian post from that capital,
which we have expected these two days, has not yet arrived, it is
probably detained by the rising of the rivers.
STUTGARD, MARCH 8.

Accounts from Switzerland give the following particulars re- 1
specting the severity of the winter.
In the higher parts of Switzerland the mercury in Reaumur's
thermometer fell in several places to thirty degrees below the
freezing point : for instance, in the valley of Urseren, at the foot
of St. Gothard, at Dissentis, in the Grisons, at Gadmen, and
Gultenen ; and it even fell as low as twenty-five in some of
the elevated values of the Canton of Neufchatel, at Brevine, Lode,
La Sagree, and Travens. Besides such a quantity of snow fell
that it was two feet deep in the towns, among others, at Vivay,
Lausanne, and Geneva, and it is believed that at the heights it
was twenty feet deep.
The fate of the innkeeper of Schwaerenbach, on the road
of Gemini, excited general interest. His house was buried
under an enormous mass of snow, and he remained
with his family in that dreadful situation during the whole month
of January, deprived of all communication with his neighbours,
and in danger of perishing with want. Two avalanches added to
the distress of these unfortunate people. Many attempts were
made from Kundersteig to save them, but it was not till the last
day of January that they could be extricated, and conveyed to a
village at the distance of two leagues from Schwaerenbach.
ST. FETERSBIJRGH, FEB. 21.
A letter from. Odessa, of the 30th ult., says, that the naviga-
tion continued without interruption.
The Odessa Shipping List for last year does not mention the loss
of a single ship, though many sailed late in the autumn, at which
season the navigation of the Black Sea is very dangerous.
STOCKHOLM, FEB. 23.
An estate has been purchased in Scauia for the widow of Mar-
