According to news from Greece,-
wiles on the 16tH of March, . the Congress of the.
Peloponnesus has resolved that Representatives shaU
be sent to the different Courts of Europe to obtain *
recognition of the independenesof Greece. Men dis-
tinguished by their talents and their patriotism will
be chosen to fill these important finctions.

At a late hour this forenoon we received a Spanish
Mail, bringing Madrid Papers to the 15th instant.—
The following are extracts :

MADRID, MARCH 14.
It seems that his Majesty has accepted the resigna-
tion of the Marquis de Castelac, of his place of Ca
lonel of the 2d Regiment of the Guards.
As the malevolent endeavour to disfigure the most
trifling events, to make it appear that the public tran-
quillity of the Capital has been disturbed, we think it
our duty to say, that the events of the two last even-
ings have been merely the effect of a quatrel among
some soldiers, in which the people have not taken the
smallest part. •
The Captain-General having learned that some sol-
diers had collected near the Puente de Toledo, armed
with sticks, went to the spot, and found they did not
exceed thirty, and he having ordered them to retire
to their quirters and arrested some, the remainder
obeyed the order with the greatest cheerfulness.-
These occurrences did not in the least disturb the
public tranquillity, and as they happened without
the gates, they were not perceived in the city.
The Authorities have taken the most active mea-
sures to prevent the slightest disorder; the concilia-
tory means which they have adopted having had the
best effect. In short, it is certain that perfect tran-
quillity prevails in Madrid and the environs.
No further mention is made of any disturbance in
the Papers of the 13th and 14th.

New Orleans Papers have arrived this morning to
the 14th February. The following extract will shew
that the efforts made by the American Government
have been attended with success in annihilating the
hordes of pirates so long infestirg the West India Seas:
" [Aired States schooner Porpoise, off the North
Coast of Cuba, Jan. 29, 1822.
" DTA R 'Sta—Another opportunity affords again an occasion
of addressing you. I yesterday captured and destroyed four
more piratical vessels, and made six prisoners. I have also,
since I last communicated with you, burnt two of the principal
depots, containing stores, materials, &c. and two new vessels
on the stocks. I believe I have pretty well cleared this part of
the coast, and ant now proceeding with my tendet off Matan-
zas, where I understand some depredations have been committed.
" I am, dear Sir, yours, respectfully,
(Signed) " J.tS. nA MA G F-"

Advices from Port-au-Prince, to the 19th of Ja-
nuary, state, that President BOYER having urged to
the inhabitants of the Spanish part of St. Domingo,
that the integrity of the empire of Ha) ti required
their submission, and by dint of persuasion and
threats had succeeded in obtaining the adhesion of
St. Jago, St. Dgmingo, Porto Plata, and the other
Spanish pla:e,.

About ten o'clock last night his MAJESTY arrived
at his Palace in P4ll Mall, from Brighton.
Yesterday a Cow t of Directors was held at the East
India House, when the Right Hon. GEORGE CAN-
ING was appointed Gover nor. G enei al of Bengal.
The Duke of MONTROSE entertained a distinguished
party, yesterday, at his house in Grosvenor-square.
Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE is nose on an excursion to
the North, for the purpose of engaging pet formers
for Covent-Garden Theatre, to fill up the vacancies
that will occur at the end f the present season.
The Argyll Rooms were on Saturday evening at-
tended by a numerous and fashionable company, to
hear Mr. PUTNAM (for the first time in London), re-
cite a selection of Pieces from different eminent
writers. He equally excels in the pathetic and co-
mic; and was particularly happy in Southey's af-
fecting tale of " Mary, the Maid of the Inn,' and
Wesley's Pig ;" in the former, he gained the well-
earned tribute of a tear; and in the latter, the smiles
and genuine applause of a delighted audience. We
understand that he is about to repeat it, and trust
that an enlightened Public will not let such merit go
unrewarded.
ORATORIO, COVENT-GARDEN.—Last evening, a
crowded audience was assembled to witness the last
Oratorio but one this season, under the able manage-
ment of Mr. BOCIISA. The selections were from the
Messiah, Lord BURCHERSII'S Serious Drama, and a
Miscellaneoui Act, in which. several favourite airs
were introduced. A beautiful duo concerto for the
Harp—" We're a noddin," was admirably per-
formed by BocirsA and Dtzt ; it was decorated with
all the richness of BOCIISA'S style, and executed with
his usual brilliancy of effect.
Parties of disorderly men were collected in the paiishes of
Broome and Ditchingbam, near Bungay, in the course of
Thursday last, and threats were uttered against the proprietors
of threshing-machines in the neighbourhood.
Thursday night, a tremendous conflagration, wilfully occa-
sioned, broke out on the premises of Mr. F. Groom, of Snape,
near Sizmundham. It began in a heap of barley-straw, and
communicated to a barn partly filled with grain, a stack of clo-
ver, and another of wheat containing forty or fifty coombs, a
stable, a new and complete grazing premises, and other out-
buildings. About twelve o'clock, the devouring element threat-
ened the destruction of the entire premises, and threw the whole
village into the greatest terror. fortunately, the wind shifted ;
and, at length, by the prompt exertions of the multitude who
had assembled, the flames were subdued without further mis-
chief. Information has been received, through which, it is ex-
pected, the perpetrators of this fire will be brought to justice.—
At Stonbam Aspal, men are appointed to watch every night (two
men are at a farm) ; and at Mr. Cracknell's, whose premises are
threatened, five men sit up. At this farm, yesterday se'nnight,
a man was discovered, who had secreted himself under some
straw ; but, owing to the darkness of the night, he got away.-,-
Seam time after he returned, and secreted himself again between
a waggon and a tumbril, when a gun and a pistol were fired off
at him, but without effect, ind he succeeded a second time in
effecting his escape. • On Sunday se'nnight, two Ares were seen
from that parish.
A poor man, coming through Bungay, about nine o'clock on
Wednesday night, with kis drill, was surrounded by a set el the
rabble by which that town is infested, who abused him, throw-
ing stoats at him and his horse, which be-was compelled to take
away, to save that and himself from the outrage, which termi-
nated in their maliciously breaking the machine by wkith he ob-
tabled his support.—Bary Gazette.

consideratiiin the proprieiy of presenting a Petition
to Parliament on the present alarming and imps-
ralleled state of Agricultural-Distress. On the motion
of the Hon. G. Burnam, the Hon. DOMAS KEW
YON was called to the chair. The Meeting assembled
in the Shire-Hall, but it not being found sufficiently
capacious, it was adjourned to the quarry. As soon
as Mr. KENYON had stated the object of the Meeting,
J. C. PILHAM, Esq. moved that it should adjourn, in
consequence of many Peers and Commoners, who are
the principal owners of land in the county, being ne-
cessarily absent. The motion was put and negatived.
Wri.t.tast LLOYD, Esq. of Aston, after noticing the
state of agricultural distress and the inadequacy of
the relief proposed by Ministers, read a copy of a
Petition to the House of Commons, stating that the
Petitioners were suffering under the most intense-and
unparalleled distress, and that, unless adequate and
limmediate relief was afforded, they could but con-
template the total destruction of their properties.—
They express their regret and disappointment at the
inadequacy of the measures proposed by Ministers
'for their relief, and declare their opinion that a far
greater reduction of *taxation than that hitherto pro-
posed by Ministers might be accomplished, by en-
forcing the most strict and rigid economy in every
department of the State, and by limiting the esta-
blishments of the country to their former rate of ex-
penditure in times of peace:
The reading of this Petition was received with
great applause; after which, WILLIAM OWEN, Esq.
of Woodhouse, the Hon. G. BENNET, W. L ACON
CHILDE, .Esq. it. A. SLANaY, Esq. and ROWLAND
HILL, Esq. spoke in favour of the Petition.
Lord CLIVII and Sir JOHN WROTTEALEY, also ad:
dressed the Meeting.-
The Petition was then put to the vote, and carried
unanimously, with the exception of only two hands
held up against it.
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the
Meeting separated.
