The Moititsar .pablishes 4,ndtice ,from the
.Minister
of Vitianee relatitt to the certlitatel of the negotiations
of the 23,114,516 francs in sentes,-by which the holders
of certificates of the negotiations a( the 23,114,516
haves in renter are informed, that the 11-20th payable
on the Bth of July nest, will be received at the Royal
treasury from the Ist of that month. The offices
(coisses) will be open from nine in the morning till
one in the afternoon. The Etoile denies the truth of the
.reported differences amongst the Ministers, and of any
offer having been made by some of them to resign.
The accounts from Madrid are of a melancholy kind.
There is something to excite pity and contempt—in the
mass of snffering, and in the imbecility that is appa-
rent in the Government that inflicts, and the people
that endure it. King FERDINAND returned to the ca-
pital from Aralijoez on the 19th, and his first act was
to order out of Madrid, immediately, all persons re-
siding there for the last six years, without exercitingl
some calling, or " keeping open house." The last
phrase is a strange one. Ile has pronounced the sante
ventence of exile upon the discharged servants of the
Administration—no doubt from their asking to be paid
arrear.. Madrid and the rest of Spain are described as
more exhausted, harassed, and disorganized than ever.-
The King ofSparN held a Council, at which he pre-
sided, on the 21st ult. on the subject of the unfortunate
state of the country ; the necessity of energetic mea-
sures, and the insane project of reconquering South
America.

General CAPASPE, who had arrived at Madrid, had
been thrown into prison ; and accounts from Cadiz state
that the arrests since the publication of the proscription,
miscalled an armistice, were very numerous. It was re-
ported that the yellow fever had broken out, and that
all vessels were to perform quarantine at Mahon.

These pApers contain intttlligence from Semlin, ss bich
announces that the fourth campaign against Greece had
been opened, and that the Seraskier, Dervisch Pacha,
had marched from Larissa, and attacked the pass of
Zeitepny 'Merma' Several Tartars had brought
that intelligence to Belgrade, where the impression
amongst the Turks themselves was that the Ottoman
Commander had met with so vigorous a defence that he
had been compelled to retreat. The Greeks added par-
ticulars which if correct would entitle them to claim a.
great victory. Sincerely do we hope that they are well
founded. Briti,ll Officers, volunteers in the glorious,
cause of Grecian independerce, are known to have
. joined the Greek corps stationed at that important pass.
Their skill and experience must undoubtedly have'
proved highly serviceable; and when it is considered
how bravely and desperately the Greeks have fought on
this very spot. since the commencement of the present
war, it may .easily be conceived that, with the aid of a
few European engineers, they may have succeeded iu
rendering it impregnable. A letter from Smyrna con;
' firms the report that the Captain Pacha had attempted,
a landing on the itiaad of Scyathos, where he was ea-•
countered with such valour by the Greeks under Ouvs-
seus, according to same, and under DIAMAXTIS and
the beautiful MAVROGENIA of Mycone, according to
others, that he alone had succeeded in regaining kis ship.
Ile had afterwards sailed with the squadron towards
Salonichi,and taken on board 3,000 Albanians, in order
to repair his losses.

Saudi American Pipers to the 13th of May have,
reached us. One of them, The Color/44am, of the 6th,

of that mouth, contains an article on the wftr in Peru,
which we agree with one of our contemporaries (The

Ledger), in considering as far more interesting on ac-
count of the proof it affords of the existence of a free
press in the young State of Colombia, than in conse-
quence of any information which it conveys respecting
the state of Peru. The article is well wiitten and tem-
perate, but from the very gloomy view the writer takes
of the subject, we half suspect him of a feeling not very
favourable to the independence of South America;
nor should we be much surprised to find in the writer
of this article, a secret partizan of Spain.
The drift of the writer's argument, in The Cam-
biaxo, is that it is highly impolitic for Colombia to ap-
pear as a principal in the war which the Peruvians are waging for
their inde?endence, particularly as the latter do ant exert them-
selves in the struggle. He then hints that Boitvss► bas been un-
successful on the whole ; that the Royalists are undisputed miters
of Upper Peru ; and that their force is an overmuch for that of
the Patriots. The silence observed by the bigots Ottpt4e, or Go-
vernment Paper, on the events in Peru, constitutes the principal
ground upon which he raises his superstructure of sinister inferences.
He atm quotes the authority of tb,e North American Papers, and to
in, at least, this authority appears yr be least conclusive OA, as ves
have had Papers of mush later dates, by two months at least, ems.
taiaing statements, too, Impugning those to which rhe C°loFailignie
refers. The writer. too, bas fallen into the same dross error, respect-
Mg BOLIVAR, that has been repeatedly exhibited by writer, in this
country, who have drawn from his inaction during the winter the
inference that it was the effect of moral causes, instead of being,
the unavoidatde result of the season. Xt is next to impinsible toner,
in that country during the winter, in consequence ache heavy aim,
by which most of the rivers are rendered impassable, and the roads
unfit for she passage of an army. It has been always understoodi
that ilm.rvan would not reconsmmare operations befora.ase end ofi
March, and that he would employ the interval in the most active
preparations for the ensuing campaign.

The, is now living at Mill, neer Southampton, an sld man of
'the name of Landy, who has attained his 101st year. The follow.
ing are Mgr of the partitularsof his tile warbont at Chem-
' ford In the year 1723, where in the early part of his. fife he fol-
lowed the occupation of a gardener. Ile entered the many fay en-
listing into the Inniskillen Dragoons, in which Regiment he serve*
iduring the German wars In the reign of George the Second. Among
other actions he was actively engaged in the battles of Minden and
Warburgh ; at the latter of which he bad his horseshit uiadez hint,
both his legs were broke) in the fall, and in that situation he re-
ceived a atvere sabre wound in Isis rig Sit flank, which occasions him
much paha and uneasiness at thisdisaant period. After his return to
England, he was by the Duke of Gloucester's orders made a ser-
jeant in the ]st Guards,* share thus sonnnantled by the Duke; and
be was on daty at Kensington Palma an the day that trearie the
Second died. After many years' servitude in the Guards, he be-
Came invalided on a pension. He, however, subsequently kilned

arriving, the battle assumed a more general appearance;
and the Canadians were dirven from the stem oh action.
