' It is thought that the Provisionial Diet of the March
will not be convoked till the autumn, in order that the
Deputies from the country may not be hindered in their
• agricultural put suits. It is conjectured that the King
sill appoint, as Marshal of the Diet, Count Alvensle-
ben, ssho, in the capacity of Minister of State, so ably
directed the Government of Brunswick during the mi•
nority of the reigning Duke. The preparations fur the
Pomeranian Diet are so fat advanced, that there is lit
tle doubt of its being called together in nty. M. Von
&rgstedo is appointed Marshal.

Dispatches of a late date were this morning received
from Jamaica, which left the Island perfectly tranquil.
Dispatches from the lonian Islands, with letters from
Ancona, were received this forenoon, but they contain
no political intelligence of importance.
We learn from good authority that the negotiations
between Russia and Tut key are proceeding amicably.

We hare received the French Papers of Friday, and
a private letter from Paris dated Saturday, announcing
that the financial measure of M..VILLELE, for the re-
duction of the 'tellies had passed the Chamber of De-
puties that day. Several amendments had been pro-
posed and rejected ; one modification of the Ministerial
project, which, however, does not at all affect the prin-
ciple of the measure, was adopted. It consists in ena-
bling the Government to allow the fundholder to 'con-
vert his Five per Cent. Stock into a new Four per Cent.
Stock at par, with a security against repayment for six
years,nr till January, 1830. This amendment was pro-
posed by M. LEROY. As adopted and modified by M.
de VILLELE, it does not necessarily alter his original
project, as its effect will merely be to give another
option to the fundholder in addition to the alternative of
accepting a Three per Cent. Stock at 75, or the reim-
burscment of his capital.
We consider the success of this financial operation
on the part of M. VILLELE, as important, not only so
far as regards France, but as an earnest of the pacific
disposition of the Court of France, and a fresh guarantee
that the peace of Europe will not be disturbed.

Private letters from Lisbon, of a recent date, state
that great preparations are making for sending out an
expediton of 7,000 troops to Brazil.

NEW ENGLAND COFFEE-TIOUSE.

We have received a St. Vincent's Gazette of the 20th
March, which contains the following intelligence
" BA EBADOES, MARCH 18.—The brig Mai y Ellen
arrived here on Monday, in eleven days from Para,
with the British Vice-Consul, a number of British.Mer-
chanti, and several Portuguese Gentlemen holding civil
appointments in that country, in all fifty-two, being
compelled to leave in consequence of the dreadful
anarchy and confusion which prevailed there, occa-
sioned, it is said, by the tyrannizing conduct of the
Captain of a Brazilian brig of war, acting under
orders of the Emperor, in levying contributions upon
the inhabitants, and plundering the shipping in the
harbour. A representation of the above circum-
stances has been made to his Excellency the Governor
and Commanding Officer of the Naval squadron here.
The sloops of war EDEN and SCOUT were dispatched
last evening for Para, with the Consul and several of
the merchants on board, with the view of demanding
the British property remaining in that place, and to
ascertain what farther steps it may be necessary to take
for the security of the British trade."
