31 New instactions have been sent from Madrid
to the Spanish Ambassador at the Court of Lisbon, to
make, it is affirmed, urgent remonstrances to the Porto-
goese Government, respecting.the proposed recognition
of the independence of Brazil, and to intimate that such
recognition would be directly at variance, as well with
the interest of Portugal as that of Spa'n, and sof all
other Powers who have colonies in America ; and that
a formal protest against it will be made, in case it
should take place.
It is farther said that the Portuguese Ministry has
bean warned against entering into more intimate rela-
tions with England, as this would lead to circumstances
very disagreeable to the Portuguese Government, and
put a stop to the friendly relations which have hitherto
subsisted between the Courts of Lisbon and Madrid.
On this occasion, and some others, the Spanish Go.
vernment too clearly manifests the kind of hostile dis-
position which animates it towards Great Britain. It,
is not believed, however, that these representations will'
have any remarkable influence on the Portuguese Go-
vernment, so as to make it depart from its system. It
is, however, positively affirmed at Madrid, that no
resolution had yet been made at Lisbon, relative to the
recognition of Brazil as an independent State.

This forenoon we received the lidoik of ye.terday by
Express. It contains an article from Semlin, stating
that 0111111 VRIONI, who had been for some time sus-
pected, has taken possession of the Pirchalik of Salonica,
at the head of 8000 men; but the news is doubted.

Accounts from Madrid announce the arrival there of
the Portuguese Ambassador Count SußsenßA (Pam.'
plona). The Marquis de CanAt.no, the Duc d'ABRAN-
Tll3, and Comte de NOBLEJAS. are banished ten leagues
from Madrid. The Political Chief, SAINT MARTIN, has,
been acquitted.

It is said that Prince Da Mrryzarocu, who had an

An Aggregate Meeting of the Roman Catholics of
Ireland, was held in Clarendon-street Chapel, Dalin,
on Friday last. Lord Viscount GORMANSTOWN in the
Chair. After thanks were voted to Mr. O'Goassmr, die
Secretary to the late Catholic Association,

Mr. KIRWAN rose to move a vote or thanks is Mr,
ENEAS M.Dorsum.L, for his services as Agent in Lon-
don. Amongst other services rendered by Mr. M.Don
NELL, Mr. KIRWAN said he had endeavoured to coml.
teract the Bible-mania, at a time when fanaticism de-
luged the land !
An Address to his MaaarrtY was moved by Mr.
WouLes, and seconded by Mr. Howl O'Connor', who,
in the course of his speech, said, "He felt assured that
in thus raising his humble voice, he was but echoing
'the feeling that universally prevailed, when he gave
a solemn assurance of undiminished affection to that
gracious Monarch, under whose benignant sway they
had received so many benefits ; and when, in this coun-
try, under the administration of that Nobleman who
was so justly styled his Lieutenant, they had ceased to
feel the lash of tyranny ; and by whose wise and patri-
otic government, despotic sway on the one hand, and
daring outrage on the other, had been suppressed."
The names of the several Noblemen and Gentlemen.
who were to compose a Deputation was read, and their
appointment was moved by Mr. N. MAHON, when,
says the Irish Times, a mean looking individual in the
crowd moved, that the name of Mr. LAW LESS be added.
Mr. &Comma. asked if the motion was seconded ? and
it being announced that it was not, the original motion
was put and carried unanimously.
Lord KILLEEN was then called to the Chair, and
voted the thanks of the Meeting to LordGOßMANarows.
As the Meeting was about to reparate, Mr. (MON.
NELL was loudly called for. He came forward some
what reluctantly." took off his stock, loosed the c.llar
of his shirt, mounted the rostrum, and placed himself
in forensic attitude amidst cheers, waving of hats,
handkerchiefs, &c. &c. During the temporary con-
fusion excited by this scene, Lady BURIES found
herself placed in the Chairman's seat, and excited a
good deal of laughter and cheering ; this amiable Lady

;on her awkward situation with perfect good humour
and self-possession until she was able to withdraw to a

By EDWARD Bt.AQUIRRR, 8"o. pp. 34.9..
Mr. Blaquiere has espoused the cause of Greece with
an ardour which doe, him infinite honour. Twice has
he visited this land, so interesting from its classical
association, and remains of ancient art, as well as
from the struggle it is now making to throw' off the
yoke of tyranny. Ably has he advocated her cause in
the appeal he has made in her behalf, and if the British
Public has not manifested that deep interest which such
a struggle is calcula'ed to excite, it is not for want of
its attention being called to the subject.
But zealous as Mr. Blaquiere is tor the success of the
Greeks, he does not let his ardour run away with his
judgment; and while he (Ines full justice to their
bravery and patriotism, he does not conceal the diffi-
tulties that remain to be surmounted ere the indepen-
dence of Greece can be consolidated; these difficulties
are not merely the disparity between the belligerents,
but the internal factions in Greece, and the feelings of
the European Powers.
Mr. Blaquiere, who accrmpanied the first in talmewt
of the Greek Loan to the Mores, gives a faithful nails-
live of the more recent events and present state of the
revolution in Greece. In this narrative, many traits of
daring heroism, nut only by men, but even by women.
are related. The Apr ndts contai'is a variety of
official documents and letters, including the Correspond-
ence of Mr. Blaquiere and ethers, with Prince Mivro-
cordato and other Greek Chiefs; the last days of L .rd
Byron also forms an interesting portion of the Appendix,
Mr. Blaquiere most earnestly c Us on the European
Powers to interpose their with rity or mediation in
putting an end to the struggle in Greece.
" The policy," he says, 4, dictated by the new posi-
tion of England, with regard to the Continental Powers,
is so obvious, that it might well be considried super-
fluous, wete I to attempt offering an opinion on the
subject in this place; yet !.ow is it possible to avoid
(some allusion to that state of things so new in Europe,
which has changed her from the Aly of despotism twthe •
protectress of free tom and constitutional rights? :Ws
this happy change which his rendered her m•'re ;use.
cially the friend of regenerated Greece, hy far sal
greatest honour that ever felt to the lot of any natridn•
Thus it is, that while it bezoo:es the bushes. of 'the
future historian of the present day, to condemn the
conduct of the Christian world towards the struggling
Greeks, he will be bound to confess, that wiihout the
possession of the lonian Islands by England, they might
have remained much longer in bondage ; and that
whatever may have been the apathy displayed •by the
wealthier portion of the community with regard to the
cause, the loan so happily contracted in this country
must secure the ttiumph of Greece if she be tiue
to herself."
The Greek legislative and executive bodies, he says,

are most anxious of cultivating a good understanding
with this country. He says the Greeks would prefer
a federative Government like that or Switzerland, Tel
they would not object to a limited monarchy, and be
,hints that the giving them a Foreign Prince for a King
might be dote, as in the case of Sweden.
He says,“ although it is true, the jarring interests which
embarrass the Greek question on every side may render
an arrangement difficult, yet I am convincet with the
most enlightened men of Greece, that if the Cabinets
enter into the discussion with sincerity, an understand-
ing may be established much in ire easily t-an 'most
persons, who have only viewed the matter super fichaly
and at a distance, imagine. As a return to theTu.ltish
yoke is impossible, let the gland criestion of indepen-
dence be necided at once. This done, everything el e
will follow as a matter of course ; and however beight
'the hopes of the friends of Greece were; when 'rhoy
first beheld the dawn of her regeneration, I feel satisfied
they would rather see a monarchy established Then,
than witness the destruction of the people • foe whom
their sympathy .has been called' forth.
“From a varietyolcircumst.inces which have (warm',
it is evident that our own Ministers are not only a:ti .
aced by a more liberal spirit towards Greece; •hut-ihr,
feel the necessity of putting an end to a conflict which
tends to the mutual destruction :both of Greece 'anti
Turkey, while it is .opposed to every sentimencht reli-
%ion and humanity. It is needless to add, 'that Stitt is
the tide of popular opinion in favour of an ariatigeorkitt,
if they insist, their efforts
.will be crowned with. ?acacia:.
Without this, all the succours we could send will; it* is
feared, be insufficient to attain the grand object iii.vie4r."
Happy. indeed' should we be to see the European
Powers interpose between the Greeks and tre Task-,
and thus put an end to a war of ext. rrnination. • * I sitt.e

,bowevor, its, duaelsph for atharestaratioatt Once
in the Sots from the Cabinet of 3t. raw-
burgh, can {wove up only• with friendly intentions
towards, the Greeks.: consequently, that such a plan
cannot have 'for its object either to prescribe such,
to
the. Greeks, or to awe the Ottoman Government, 'and
that 'his 'lmperial Majesty of Russia, whatever ;night
be his intention, would think it fit to communicate
any plan of this kind to the other Powers, his Allies,
before he proposed it to the. contending parties. Tt e
Emperor has. in fact. laid before the. Allied Courts the
plan, to propose at the same time to the Porte, and to
the Provisional Government of Greece, to suspend hos-
tilities, in order to gain time for amicable mediation ;
and the British Government would not have hesitated.
to accede to this proposal, had it been made at a pro-
per moment. It mast not be overlooked, that the very
document which so greatly. excited, the displeasure of
the Greek Government, awakened similar feelings in
the Divan'. While the Greeks express an invincible ab-
horrence of every agreement which should not .pro-
nounce their national independence, the Divan repulces
every kind of reconciliation which should not-restore
its sovereignty over Greece. In these dispositions of
the parties, there is certainly but small hope of an ac-
ceptable and effectual mediation. If, before the ex-
treme to which these opposite opinions were carried—
if at the time when the varying chances of war
seemed to give to both parties more than one rational
motive for an amicable arrangement, Russia had pro-
posed soch an arrangement, no blame could have
attached to it, or to those who might have been in-
clined to consider of such a plan. 'The document,
considered as a *Russian memorial, contains the ele-
ments of a treaty of peace. though these elements
were probably not reduced into a form proper to com-
municate to the belligerent parties. If the sovereignty
of the Turks should not be absolutely restored, if the
independence of the Greeks should not be absolutely
recognized,—two extremes incompatible with a media-
tion,—if the mediators could not express themselves
without constituting themselves parties in the cause,
no chance remained but in a manner and to a certain
point to modify both the sovereignty of the Porte and
the independence of the Greeks ; and the for it and the
degree of these modifications seemed to foam the ques-
tion which was to be examined and solved. Each of
the two parties might certainly defeat by its protest
any plan for an arrangement, however reasonable in
its principles, or impartial in its terms ; but we know
that both parties are equally resolved to :eject every
conceivable arrangement, and that the hope of a success-
ful mediation is at the present moment absolutely inad-
missible. With respectto that part of your letter, inwhich
you call on the [latish Government to assist the Greeks,
in their struggle for independence, and compare their
merits and their claims to such aid with those of the
Provinces of Spanish America which have separated fres na
the mother country, I must observe, that Great Britain
has declared and observed the strictest neutrality in the
contest between Spain and those Provinces; and that
the same neutrality has been obseried in the war which
now desolates Greece. The rights of Greece, as a bel-
ligerent Power, have been invariably respected ; and if
the British Government was obliged, on a late occasion,
to check the excesses that took place in the exercise of
its rights, we hope that such a necessity will not again
occur. The Provisional Government of Greece may
depend on the continuation of this neutrality: it may
be assured that Great Britain will take no part in
any attempt to impose upon it by force a plan for
the re-establishment; of peace contrary to its swishes,
if such a peace should ever be proposed ; but should
the Greeks ever think it advisable to ask our medi•
ation, we will offer it to the Porte; and if it is
accepted, we will neglect nothing to make it effec-
tnAl in concert with the other Powers whose in-
tervention would facilitate the arrangement. This is,
in our opinion, all that can be reasonably required of
the British Ministers. They have not to reproach them-
valves with having directly or indirectly excited the
Greeks at the beginning of their enterprise. or with
having in any manner impeded its progress. Connected
as we are with the Porte by the existing friendly rela-
tions, and by ancient treaties which the Porte has not
violated, it can certainly not be expected that England
should commence hostilities which that Power has not
provoked, and take part in a contest which is not
ours. I hope that what I have had the honour to re-
present to you, will remove every kind of suspicion or
reproach which error or intrigue may have caused, re-
specting the sentimeastsof the British Government to-
wards the Greeks, and be received as a proof of the
purity of our intentions apd of the frankness with which
we are ready to avow them. _

LEollo.ltlf, APRIL 1.
We have lately received pretty recent nom from the'
Levant. The news from Alexandria are to the?ah of
March, and those from Smyrna to. the 9th. The well-
known Ismael Gibraltar, Admiral of the irgypioo
fleet, had died on the passage from Rhodes to Alexan.
drier, and the body was thrown into theses. He Is much
regretted by his friends, who esteemed him as an enr
lightened and disinterested man. The preparations at
Aleaandria for a new campaign seeneto.be very back-
ward; but the Viceroy had hired some transports, which
were ready for his service. Letters from Smyrna say
that Ibrahim Pacha had landed 2,000 men at Modon,
and then sailed to Patras. This is in past confirmed by
Captains of ships, who say they met a Turkish squa-
dron of twelve sail off Navarino, steering North. Art
army of 12,000 men is said to be ready at Candia to
be embarked for the Mores, so that it seems that the
peninsula is likely to be the theatre of great events.
At Smyrna they hope that the Turks will find many
partisans there when they appear in considerable force.
CORFU, MARCH I&
I —.LITTER OF U. RODIOS, IN THE NAME OF THE PROVI-
SIONAL GREEK GOVERNMENT, TO MR. CANNING.
" Napoli di Romania,. August 12 (24). 1824.
" Town EXCELLENCY—For these four years past the
Greeks, in firm reliance in Diviwe PROVIDENCE, have
defended, not without success, the land of their fathers.
I say they defend the land, for they care little about
the villages, houses, and private possessions. This has
been sufficiently proved in the variotts incursions of the
enemy, when the Greeks, with equal courage and meg-4
nanimity, have sacrificed their most valuable awl
dearest property. They preferredireedan under their
tents, in their valleys, or the•tokis of their mountains,
to the most splendid dwellings in slavery. Must not-
this remarkable circumstance in the history of the de-
fensive war of the Greeks convince all Christian minds,
that when they began the contest for the recovery of
their rights with shaking off an intolerable yoke, the
• sacred object was to deliver their faith, their country,
their holy temples, the graves of their fathers, their
wives, and their children, and that they were strangers
to the political views which agitated Europe? Guided
-by these principles in the b tru ggle they maintained,
they have not failed to implore the compassion of their
brethren in Christendom, and officially to solicit the
Monarchs of the Vienna Congress to take insulted hu-
manity under their protection. But European policy,
entertaining other ideas on the principles of oar cause,
and far from possessing a true knowledge of the Otto.
man dynasty, would neither give credit to the writings
of the Greeks, nor hear their groans and complaints,
but resolved to abide by a mere neutrality, which has
been in some instances fatal to the Greeks. As the
Greeks did not attain the object of their public appli-
cations, they were obliged to exert themselyes with
confidence, defending their sacred cause alone, and
leave it to time to set their motives and principles in a
clear light. The Government, in fact, continued in its
system of silence, and would have persevered in it had
not a Note, .proceeding from the North of Europe,
obliged them to break silence. This Note hasGreecetor
its object, and decides on its fate according to a will
which is foreign to it. It is difficult to imagine that
such a Nute can have come from a Court like that of
Russia. The Greeks, however, cannot be deceived re-
sisecting the-existence of tins Note ; and the Greek Na-
tion, as well as as Government, whose organ I have
thahonour to he, in offering their homage to his Bro.
tannic Majesty, through your Excellency, solemnly de-
clare that they prefer a glorious death to the disgi ace.
but lot intended to be imposed on them. it is not cre.
dible that his Britannic Majesty, who has sliewn such
philanthropical sentiments towards the people of South
America, will consent that the Greeks shall be so un-
worthily excluded from the list of civilized nations,
and delivered up to the caprice of the one or the other,
wit:mut having the power to constitute themselves as a
nation. Yet the Greeks are surely, with respect to their
claims, in a more advantageous situation than the South
Americans. They have impressed the stamp of die.
grace on the Turkish weakness—they have proved that
