Ttleilsfr y, who 'proiiatincea him the Napoleon of
Africa. A French General, said to be of the name of
Botta, has recently joined the Paclia, and obtained a
chief command over his troops. The vessel which con-
veyed part of the loan from London to Hydra, also took
;oat 10,0001. which had been subscribed in the United
Stites of A Merle*, in behalf of Greece.
Thul tar the intelligence itt-the Greek Journal goe's.
The Eioik French Paper states on the authority of
letters from Trieste, to the 11th inst. that the Egypt an
troops, which landed at Modon, had been vigorously re-
pulsed in attempts they made to take Navarino and
Gastouni. The Egyptian squadrun, to the number ol
50 sail, were anchored in the port of Modon, and the
Greeks were stationed opposite with 36 vessels, under
the cannon of Navarino. Admiral Mtnuus 114 d sailer
towards Mitylene, in order to employ the Captain
Pacha in the Dardanelles. The Greek Government
made an appeal to the people, any Usiity-six thousand
men had immediately answered the call, so that no fears
were entertained for the result of the inva inn.

Hamburg!) Papers to the 20th inst. reached us this
forenoon. Accounts from St. Petersburg of the 6th
inst. state, that the Right Honourable Mr. STRAI FORD
CANNING, the British Ambassador Extraordinat y, was
about to leave that City the neat day. He had his
final audience of the EMPEROR and EMPRESS Dowager

not mentioned in the preceding Ordonnances, by the

This morning we received Brussels,Papett to the 23d
inst. An article from Turin states, that the Empe or
of Aurrata will proceed to Geneva, and that the con-
ferences at. Milan will have two objects—the general
policy of Europe, and the interests of Italy in particu-
lar. A hope is also expressed that •
"'he observations which Prince Mirriamen cannot fan to have
made during his visit at Paris, will make hith more inclined to have
some regard to the wishes of the Italians. Everything is in motion
around them* and at a distance, Representative Governments exit
is France and the Netherlands. Several German Princes have
tho followed this example, by introducing a system to which Great
Britain owes its prosperity."
The Italian writer does not appear to know the Prince,
whose narrow-minded distinctions at his diplomatic
dinners in Paris, spew that he had learned nothing and
forgotten nothing, in his visit to the French Capital.
We have received RioclY;eiro and Bahia Papers,
the former to the 4th of March, and the latter to the
Bth of February. At Bahia the Military Commission

of the Governor, on the 25th of October ; when Jos.
QUIM SATIfto DA CUNHA, convicted of being concerned
in the facts which led to the Grim:, was executed.—
He was convicted on the clearest evidence. All was
tranquil, but complaints are made of the machinations
of some persons who have come from other parts. •
A guard o( 100 men, with officers, has been esta-
blished, to act as officers of police. They are strictly
prohibited from arresting any citizen, except taken
in flagraate delicta ; and the home of a citizen being,
by the Constitution of the Empire, an inviolable asy-
lum, they cannot enter it without a written order from
the competent authority, and in cases for which the
law has provided.
Orders were issued for taking a Census of the popu-
lation of Brazil—distinguishing the males from the
females, and the slave from the free population.
The British-Vice•Consul had given notice to the Bra.
zilian Government, that an English brig has arrived
in January, with 39 Angola nevoes on board, whom
it took from the wreck of a ship, 180 leaves to the
East of Rio de Janeiro, without any person who could
give an account of the circumstances.
The individuals implicated in the revolt of thePernarn-
bucans had been tried and some of them executed,whilst

Early on Saturday- the parade in St. James's Park
presented a very animated sight, by the appearance of the three
Regiments of Foot Guards, accompanied by their respective
hands in new State dresses of scarlet and gold, on the Mall. The
Duke of Yoga arrived on the Parade, on horseback, about ten
o'cloek. He was received with every mark of distinction suitable
to kiss rank, lay several General Officers, Colonels, &e. After the
Brigade bad gone through several evolutions with the utmost pre-
cision, they proceeded in mulbing order front St. James's Park to
the King's Palace, followed by the spectators. An alteration has
been made in the new clothing worn by the Officers in the Foot
Guards: instead of the blue collar, as formerly, it is scarlet, the
same as the coat; and in lieu of the black silk stock, a white mus-
, lid handkerchief appears to be substituted. Of the privates, in
room of the epaulette on the shoulders, a cape is now made that
completely covers the whole of them. The day was kept as a
holiday at the Bank and Public Offices, and at one o'clock the Park
and Tower guns were fired in honour of his Masesvy's Birth-day.
The usual procession of the mail-coaches took place in the evening,
and the fine condition of the horses, and gay appearance of the
guards and drivers, together with the light troop of the twopenny
post-boys, gave general satisfaction. The evening closed with the
dinner parties and tastefully displayed illuminations of his Ma-
jesty's tradesmen in various parts of the town, who manifested in
a convivial spirit their duty to the Kum' and entertained their
friends on a suitable stale. The merry peals of the church bells,
and royal standards floating from their steeples, proclaimed the
public loyalty upon the day appointed for celebrating the birth-day
of his )hoses,
