GREECE.

Information has been received fioni Greece of consi-
derable importance. It is cow:tined in advices from
Zante, dated on the 10th of October, and transmitted in
letters dated in Leghorn on the 19th of the same month.
The siege of Missolonghi had been abandoned by the
Seraskier, whcse army had been reduced to 10.000 men.
Tee Rumeliotes had previously interrupted all corn-
MU nicat ions in the rear of his at my, and thus the season
of the year and the want 6:1 provisions combined in ren-
dering a retrograde movement necessary. Western
Greece has therefore been again.successful in opposing
a powerful invading army, and has thereby done ho•
nour t ) the cause of liberty.
Thz same advices from Zante (10th of Oct) say," pre-
vious to the Turkish retreat, the garrison sprung a mine,
and destroyed works orate besiegers in one ni..tht, which
had cost them months( f labour id the construction." In
addition to tbe,e successes it is c n dently rumoured that
Ibrahim Paella has suffered much loss at Elias, in La-
cedern whete he had gene rated with the intention
lof be,:eging Napoli di M4lvasia, dtssttoying in his
march with fire and sword everything in his way. The
accounts state that Niketas, w ith two thousand Runt. -
I ote;, had succeeded Ot forminr7 a junction with General
Colocutroni, and that A series of combats had occurred
dui ing three days between the Ciristian army and the
Arabs commanded Ity the Egy tiait S map, the r e,ult
of which wag the retreat of the ins ado s on Pent t Alonia,
near the mountains of Taigete, with gre.tt 1155. In that
pos;tion the s'tu ,tion s.f Luis must be critic .1
in the extreme, for i: is !in-rounded by mountains, all of
them occupies: by ;he Christians. They farther state
that th= ism left by Ihraliim Picha in Tripolizza
were treatin.4 with Gene:al 1..t0d0, sa Ito had made the
neces,ar y preparations to attack them, should they not
lay down their arms.

four hundred and fifty muskets and bayonets fell into

motives of Ilk retus..l are not known ; but what seems
to have been the chief motive of the Divan for taking
this resolution, is tile rejection of similar applicatiobs

TIIE INDEPENDENCE OF lIII.AZIL RECOG•

NIZED BY PORTUGAL.

The very important intelligence that the Independ-
ence of Brazil has been recognized by the King of
PORTUGAL, has been brought by the VIBELIA transport,
Lieutenant LL'CKCISAPT, which arrived at Portsmouth
yesterday, in 41 days from Rio de Janeiro. The treaty by
%% bids this advantage has keen secured, we trust to both
countt ies, was concluded on the 29th of A ugu,t ; and Sir
CHAS. STUART who has so ably c. ndocted this business
to a successful issue, left Rio on the Ist of September,
in the SPA ItTIATE, 74. We subjoin a copy of the
Treaty, but have little room for comment. By this
Veal)? Braid is to assume the nan e of an Independent
Erni ice, ierarate from Put ttigal and Algarve. Don
PEDito is to be the. Emperor, and to him the King of
Poniuune, transfers the Sovereignty, only !emitting the
same title-in his oWn person. We presume that this
point is conceded out of delicacy, that his MAJESTY
may not be stripped of any title ; and we well know
how: harmless a, nominal sovereignty may he. The
Esteitton, in this Treaty, -promises not to accept the
propnsal ofony other Portuguese Colony to unite itself
with Brazil. 'these are the most important points of
the Treaty.„of which the following is a copy :

Fiench Pacers arti.ed last night, announcing the
receipt of intelligence, by telegraph. from Spain, of the
dismissal of M. Zeit, the Prime Minister, and of the
appointment of the Duke of INFANTADO to that unen•
viable post. Under any other circumstances than the,
present, a change of Ministry in .Spain might be consi-
dered an event of sonic importance, and the character
of the new Minister would naturally becoMe a !object of
anxious inquiry. Under the'sway of FRAM NANO and
his confessors, however, it matters bat little to ill-fated
Spain who mil' be the • ostensible pilot, so loneas the
word of command issues from the dark conclave of a
set of cruel and peifidious bigots, who engross all that
remains of real power, which, to say truth, is oaily the
power to do evil.
This change of Ministry is itself but an emblem of
the affairs of that misgoverned c .untry —a change horn
bad to worse. It is understood that M. ZEA laboured
as long as possible to stem the torrent of political pro
scription, being a man of some liberality and intelli-
gence. This in Spain is no small praise, as, according'
to the Fiench proveib—lle who has but one eye is a

'King among the blind. his successor i we beVevc
Noble Man of unimpeachable private• character—of
the highest distinction in point of rank and princely
revenue, and of undoubted honour and integrity. But
the political weight and power which we in thistountry
are accustomedio attach, as a necessary consequence,
to those high qualifications for office, is wholly wanting
in Spain.
The real aristocracy of that nation were scarcely ever
admitted to any share in the Councils of the Sovereign.
Tile aristocracy were constantly objects of suspicion- to
the favourite of the day, and advanced no higher than
to the post of Captain of the Guards, or that of filling
the rank of Vice-Roy or Ambassador, to be the more
effectually rid of them. Their own great possessions
also rendered them very cautious of putting their for-
tunes to the hazard of confiscation, by taking any pro-
minent re-ponsibility. In Spain the decline of a Mi.
nister's influence is well known to carry with it, I
at all times, the imprisonment and banishment pi
his person, and the ruin of his family. Not but
•hat the chief functionaries were in general dig-
nified with high-sounding titles, but this implies no
corresponding amount of privale forture. They were
usually clever men from the middling ranks, raised to
the Nlioist, y and ennobled for the occasion. Thus the
Conde de FLORIDA BLANCA was an attorney. Mean-
while the ancient families, who, possessing the soil, were
the natural guardians of the liberties and happiness of
their country, never interfered in politics, nor did their
' education in the private recesses of their paternal pa-
laces, and under the very eyes of the Inquisition, favour
their improvement in the art of government on an en-
larged scale, nor render them accessible to enlightened
ideas. The Duke of SAN CARLOS, while 9mbassador
in this country, placed his eldest son under the care of
the Jesuits of Stonyhurst, for the cultivation of his mind
in the liberal arts and sciences. kio was the new Minister,
the Duke Dc LISSA NTADO educated; and it is expect-
ing more than is reasonable from human nature, to sup-
pose tlrat he can Ee fitly qualified for that arduous
office in such times as the present. The Cortes
were, thetefore, unjustly censured, for not calling
in the aid of a Chamber of Peers at the cutset
of their Constitution, although they were well aware of
its advantages in a subsequent stage of liberty. The
fact is, that the real Peers, that is, the landed Nobility,
were totally unqualified for the business of legislation,
and equally afraid to put their.estates in jeopardy by
taking any share in a hazardous experiment. Not
a shadow of a benefit is, for these reasons, likely, in our
opinion,- to result from the recent change of Ministry,
but rather the contrary, as it is most probable the
Duke na L'INFANTADO will retire from his perilous
post, after a feeble and vacillating administration, in a
very few months.

Just as our Paper was going to Press, we received

Letters were this forenoon received from Penang,
dated the 6th of June. They state that an attack from
the Siamese was expected, in consequence of which
great preparations for defence were making. They
were fortifying Fort Cornwallis, and a fleet of ships had
been sent to crnize off Pulo Tewy.
We have received a file of the Argos, a Buenos Ayres
paper, from the beginning of July to the 21st of
August. On the 20th of August an extraordinary
number of that journal was published, detailing the
success of the independent troops of Monte Video over
a detachment of the Brazilians, together with a procla-
mation of LAVALLLIA, Commander-in-Chief of the In-
dependent army, to his countrymen of the Banda
Oriental. Os the 15th a sharp action had taken place
between a detachment of the Independents, commanded
by Don IGNACIO ORME, and the Brazilians who occupy
Colonia. The Imperialists made a sortie, and were
driven back with the loss of nine men killed and ten
wounded. In the course of July and August fortune ap-
pears uniformly to have favoured the cause of the In-
dependents. They are stated to have taken from the
Brazilians about 700 horses and 200 black cattle, and to
have killed or wounded about 50 officers and soldiers.
The ranks of the Imperialists are stated to be thinning
by desertion, while the force of the Independents is
increasing in numbers and improving in discipline.
The • Provisional Government of the Banda Oriental
has decreed the formation of a patriotic legion, and
made other arrangements for carrying• on the war. In
short, were we to take the spirit•of these documents,',
and the sympathy with which they are read, as indica-1
lions of the temper and resolution of the Independent.
troops and of the population of Buenos Ayres,
should say that the hostilities so unhappily commenced
between these new States cannot be put an end to.bat
by the retreat of the Brazilians, and the evacuation of
'Monte Video.
