German Papers to 4th instant reached us this
forenoon, but they do not contain any intelligence of a
late date from Greece, except an article from Trieste,
of the 25th April, stating that a ship had arrived there
so twenty•sia days from Smyrna. the Captain of which
affirmed that he saw a Greek fleet of Cerigo. No men.

ion is trade of the tern-led defection a PIETIiO /car,
the Mainote Chief, the raising the blockade of Patois,
or the captltte. of Navaritto and Calattilttae which
stated in a lettet from Amyrna of the 29th of Nara.
An article from Odessta, after stating that the G,eek
Gazelles circulate, without restriction, in Constantinople,
while they ate rigorously prohibited at Odessa and the
ne►ghbnuting countries, states that °mums, with his
Aide de•Camp, still passes his time in his grotto. De-
putie. from !pure had arrived, to ask permission to
found a new town in the Pireus, which is to be com-
mented forthwith. The Pireus will be stilt winded with
a rampart, two small forts will be built at the light-
house, and a thitd on the shore, near the place called
Sabia, where it will be situated so as to command all
the surrounding country. Two architects have been
appointed by the Government to build the town with
all possible regularity. Such ate the projects proposed
to be executed, unless the Greeks are prevented by un-
foreseen and unfavourable events.

This forenoon we received Dutch*Papers, to the Bth
inst. They contain accounts horn the West Coast of
Borneo, statlng teat the Chinese of Moutrado had
reined to deliver up that place, according to treaty,
and that the Dutch troops sent to occupy it, had, after
several engagements, been compelled to retreat to
Sainbat.

Private letters from Paris state, that the Coronation
Oath, which in regard to its phraseology is considered
an important talk in France, has been at last settled,.
and the ominous word Charter is to be introduced into
it, though CLows, and many generations of Kings,
anointed *ith the Heaven-descended-oil of St. ltemi
would have startled at the sound. At several meetings
of Council, it was resolved to adhere to the old phrase
of " Constitutions of the State," instead of " Charer ;"
but M. de VtcLems, seeing the effect produced on the
public mind by the new ecclesiastical law of the Arch-
bishop of Rouaw, the disturbances created in that city
by the prohibition to act the Tartsfre of Moutstas, and
the similar agitation which prevailed at Bourdeaux, in
which a Commissary of Police was wounded, thought
it better to make a slight sacrifice to Constitutional,
feelings.

The activity of the Catholic Priesthood in bringing
all the concerns of education under their exclusive ma-
nagement, and permitting no other instruction to be
given to the rising generation than such as tends to
forward their designs, begins to excite alarm in France,
without however deterring the Church from its pro-
ceedings, or putting the Government on its guard
against them.
It is now a very prevalent opinion in Paris. that the
recent assassination of PAUL Louis Connie* was the
deed of some agent of the Jesuitical faction, as he had
just finished, and was _about to put to the press, a work
in which all his powers of raillery and sarcasm were
known to be employed against them. It was in a wood
belonging to him at Verets, near Tours, that the body
was found, pierced with three balls.
It is ►ingular, that in an age se enlightened, and in a
country like France, which boasts of its refinement,
that the Roman Catholics should seek to revive an
authority which it is impossible they can long retain.
Many Frenchmen have been heard to declare that they
will never enter a Catholic Church, lest if accidentally
they.should gape at the moment of elevating the Host,
they should be accused,' under the law of sacrilege, of
making a grimace; others say that their only resource
is to turn Protestants.
The fact is, the ordonnance obliging the marriage cere-
mony to be performedfirse in the Church, and then at
the Municipality—the threat of excommunicating all
mothers who do not baptise their children within ten
days of their birth—the rejection of Protestant sponsors
—the insisting on the production of confessional certifi-
cates--the difficulty of obtaining Christian burial—all
these form a mass of tyranny and oppression, which
cannot long be endured.

The French Papers of Friday and Ss!urJay have
reached us. They contain intelligence of a favourable
nature from. Greece; for, after admitting that the
Egyptians had landed 10,000 men before Modon, it
relates and confirms their defeat. The Greek garrisons
of Navarino and Calamata, though attacked by fur•
prise, having made a vigorous resistance, a corps of
6,000 men, sent by the Greek Government, had time
to reach the vicinity of the scene of acti n, and in its
ittun surprised the Egyptians.

A sanguinary battle is said to have ensued befo-e Neon
castron, in which 4,000 of the latter perished, and many
Officers of distinction fell into the hands of the con-
querors, as well as all the artillery and niaterid of the
esrdition. Had not Modon opened its gates to the
fugitives, but few would have escaped. The President
CONDURIOTI, with 12,000 Peloponnesians, was before
the forts of Lepanto, which it was thought would be
soon compelled to surrender.

New York Papers to the Om ult. have reached us,
but they contain little news. The cotton trade had
become very brisk in the United States. Our trans-
Atlantic brethren dwell in terms of high eulogium on
the liberal policy disclosed in the late speeches of Mr.
1-1081111130 N, and of the CHANCBLLOR Of the EXCHEQUaII.
Accounts from Mexico state, that a Committee had
been appointed by the Mexican House of ltepre,enta,
tives, on the subject of urging the Executive •4 to take
immediate steps against the Bishop of Sonon*, an
enemy to the independence of Mexico, who was inces-
sandy printing seditious writings, and.end.:avourisig to
pervert the'people politically."
A New York Paper of the 12th April, after confirm-
ing the account of -our successes over the Burmese,
state,, that a treaty of friendship and alliance has been
concluded between the British Government in India
I and the Sultan MAMMA= Sown, of lohone and DAtto

TOMMOtigOtit, and Chia of 6:nggpote and itt depen‘'
derides; which account was ainoon:ed by 19 guns
from Fort. William, bn the 29d Deceniber last.

Last night, in -the Ilitnet Lend;, his R:01 Highs
ness the Duke of Ybea presented a Petition flom Ed;
mont6n, against the Catholic Clainpi briefly remarking
that he joined in the player of thePet.ti, biters. In another
column we have given a correct copy of the memorable
speech of his Royal Highness on this subject, on a for-
mer.evening.
Its the H bte of Commons, the Report on the Cathor
lic Relief Bill was taken into consideration, and the
amendments agreed to. It comes on for a third reading
this evening, when Mr. Secretary PERL will take the
sense of the House upon it. The Elective Franchise
B 11 was in a Committee, and the Report ordered to be
taken into f tuner consideration on Thursday next.
Dispatches, dated the 15th M .rch, have been re-
