PARIS, MARCH ;I.

A petty Liberal commotion broke, out a few days
since, near Macon. Some hundreds of peasants,
armed ith scythes and clubs, attacked a detachment
of soldiers who were passing through the department
on their march to join the army of Spain. The sol-
diers, compelled to act in their own defence, repulsed
the assailants, some of whom were left killed or
Wounded on the field, while a great number of the
rest were made prisoners, and left at the disposal of
the Magistrates.

From Constantinople of February 10, it is stated
that Lord STRANGFORD has ceased the Note trams
Verona, dated December 14, to be translated into
Greek and circulated among the Greeks, disclaiming
any intention to interfere in the affairs of Greece. The
Janissaries hue again shewn a disposition to refuse
obedience to the orders of the SIILTAIt ; and great
apprehensions are still entertained by the Sublime
Porte on account of the Persian and Greek war.

We subjoin some supplementary articles of intelli-
gence received by the Lisbon Mail of yesterday :
An animated speech delivered by Senor MOVRA,
in the Cortes, on the 6th
_instant, produced an elec-
trical effect on the Members of that Assembly,:and
on the audience in the galleries. The passing and re-
passing of French emissaries—their pecuniary trans-
actions, and the wicked uses to which they were ap-
plied, are spoken of by Senor MOVRA as facts well
known to the Government ; but since corruption can-1
not be always traced and exposed, the orator recom-
mends that it shall be rendered innozions—that since
the soldiers of two rir three regiments may be bribed,
a force shall be created inaccessible to all the arts of
bribery; and therefore that the whole people shall
take up arms, -and be formed into National Guards.
The appeal to public sentiment, with which this sug-
gestion was accompanied, drew forth the loudest ac-
clamations, and roused the hearers to the highest
pitch of enthusiasni. Before the Sitting broke up, the
Military Commission brought in a Decree for orga-
nising the army of citizens.
An express reached Government at eleven o'clock
on the night of the Bth, stating, that a party -of in-
surgents had been entirely cut to pieces by two batta-
lions of light infantry and one of militia, companded
by Colonel Lan; at Rego& The rebels were in.tbe
act-of crossing the Opera, and among them the Bth
Regiment of Cavalry, which suffered much, 47 lid-vates being killed, besides many wounded and pri.
snners. The Papers or the sth affirm, that General,
Reco had gone in pursuit of the traitors; and private
letters of the Bth follow op that news by stating, that
the General, with 6000 men, was in the immediate
neighbourhood of Chaves, the garrison of which town
had joined the insurgents, and was supposed to con-
stitute their principal force. Sever al persons had been
seized under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act.—
Generals SA ititAisSz and SOULIGNE, suspected of being
agents to the French Ultra conspirators, against the,
peace of Europe, were ordered tp quit the Purtugoese
territory. General Srocnr.aa was remelted be Bugle,
and the Archbishop ill-Duna to Banco. M. SOtiZA,
late Minister in Londed,.li said SO be a member of
the Rebel Junta at Chaves.

A Morning Paper of this day, rather noted for the
accuracy of its information concerning the movements
and wishes of the French Government, which it ge-
nerally advocates, gives in a private letter from Paris
the following statement, which gears rather a peace-
ful aspect :
" M. de M STIGNAC, CiVil Commissary to the Duke &Ali-
coccaus, Will set out on Monday rent, the ,24th instant. Great
importance is attached to the mission; because it is the opinion
of influential persons, that, in order to avoid new revolutions, it
is highly desirable that no eitsente party should predominate in
Spain. It is thought that Al. de DIAR7IONAC, who is equally
known for his ability and deNottclness, may act the part of a
conciliator."

We are disposed to think this statement is put forth
to diminish the surprise the public might in a short
time feel, were it abruptly stated that the French
army is not to advance, and that negotiations were
begun.

We have received to-day New York Papers of a
date one day later thin those which we announced
yesterday. They contain accounts from Curasoa,
dated Bth February, which state that the troops of
MORALES still held out at Maracaibo, and that Porto
Cavell° was closely invested la the Colombian troops
under General PiEz.

The Quebec Papers announce the_ death, at that
place,. on the 14th ult. of THOMAS SOOTT, Esq. Pay-
master of his Majesty's 70th Ilegiraeht, and brother'
to Sir Warovna ,ScorT, with some of whose Novels
he is said to have had more than a brother's connec-
tion. He had been is Canada since the commencement

of the late American war, serving with his regiment.
The community of letters in the East have sus-
tained another loss, by the death, of Lieutenant-Colo-
nel Mixon', who expired of debility at &naves, on
the 3d of September, /821 This eminent scholar has
been long celebrated as a most learned and indefati-
gable cultivator of the Asiatic History and Litira-
tore of the Hiadoos.

Every arrival from the East annottrices fresh inc.;
cesses on the part of the Greeks. An article Frew

Geneal-in.Chief of the Western Army of the I
had gained p!)uessien of the Castle which

so that the Greeks were become masters of the navi-
gation of the Gulf of Corinth, which had *kitten*,

Previous to the sailing 6f his Majesty's ship Conway, Capt.
Bum Hatt, in August 1920, experiments were made upon her,
in Portsmouth harbour, under the.superinteadance of Mr. Bat.
sow, of the Royal Military Academy, whose discoveries in mag-
net:4m have lately engaged so much attention, in order to submit
to trial a propositi. on of that Gentleman's to the Admiralty, for
eorteedug the local attraction of vessels. Out nautical readers,
amid every admirer of the ens sciences, will be gratified to learn
'that the experiment has been attended with the most complete
awes& The points of extreme observation were, in lat. 51. N.
and Ist. on. S. distant by nearly one-third of the circumference
of the earth; and at both these stations, as well as on the Equa-
tor, the laws deduced from theory were satisfactorily verified.
Nothing, that.we are aware of, has transpired a long time, that
shows in a stronger light, the force and importance of mathema-
tical science • the simple facts discovered by Mr.. 13. Rum, in
the hands of mere experimentalist, would have been a mints
osorntion la our books of philosophy; but falling, fortunately,
under the observation of a Mathematician, it has been made the
foundation of laws applicable to every part of the globe; and
thereby to the correction of one of the most serious sources of
error in practical navigation.—We understand that an officer from
the Conway, has been appointed to the Ganes, for the purpose
of continuing the observation to the highest northern latitudes.

An Estraorclinary.Gareite-was published last night,
Containing some omitted details of the operations of
the armies in the East Indies, and extending in date
from January, 1817, to January, 1821. They have

but the fact that their communication should have,
been so longdelayed. Instructions have been given

to foreigners who may think proper to apply, as well
as to Brazilians, the authority to " burn, sink, and de-

venturers will be allowed to purchase ammunition

the privilege of granting letters of marque to all Bra-

rizingthem, in the event of capture, to form on she
