CORFU; APRIL 26.

Positive information was received here yesterday,
from the Peloponncsus, that the Egyptian army be-
sieging Navartno had been attacked by the Greeks
with the greatest fury, and so entirely defeated that
all its baggage, artillery, ammunition, &c. fell into the
hands of the enemy, and was obliged, after-great loss,
to seek, refuge under the cannon of Modon.
We are still without the particulars of this great vic-
tory of.the Greeks, but,witk respect to the authenticity
of it, it is confirmed from all quArteis.
Accounts from Semon and Bitogiia have been re-
ceive4wldch say that REDSCHID PACHA,MhO had,with
him 10.000 Turkish troops, was attacked on the 9th of
April, at Aspropotamo, by the Greeks, and totally de-
icated. A great number of Turks were drowned in the
iver, and Banditti DACHA liinisef returned to Janina
in a very deplorable condition. Ile immediately caused
some of the Turkish Chiefs, Albanians, and SOO Chris-'
tians belonging to the .principal felt Hies in that coun-
try, to. be put to death, pretending that his plan of at-
tack had been, betrayed by them to the Greeks, and that
this caused the loss i,f the battle. PLIAS&A PACHA and
several of the principal Beys were killed in this battle.
This forenoon we received Dutch and Brussel:Papers,
to the 26th. One of the latter contains an Article
warmly vindicating the superiority •of Bonds eau
'Ertl" law, and accusing a .111ei?ch. Deputy of unjustly

the writer awe need not be surprised at this, fir; is I
the Rend) Chamber of Deputies. Members are eterY
day heard to speak with extreme presumption on sub-
jects of which they have not the least knowledge."
The Government of the Netherlands has taken the
alarm respecting the plague, and adopted precautionary
measures. The Minister of Marine and Colonies• having
been informed by his MAJZSTIni Consul, at Alexan-
dria, that the plague at this moment prevails in Egypt,
has, by it resolution of the llth of this month, subjected
to the strictest quarantine all vessels coming from
Egypt, which shill put into the ports ond harbours of
the Netherlands.

A German Paper states, that a great German Power
has_ made pressing solicitations to the Government of
the Netherlands to induce it to modify the commercial
system which it has hitherto followed, particularly with
respett to the transit of grain and other agricultural
produce of Germany ; and that, notwithstanding the
assertions of tome Journals to the contrary, a favourable
istoe is anticipated to the negociations carrying on at
Stutgard, for effecting a commercial union between
various German States.

The same Piper adds, 86 Should this project be
realised, we may expect to see measures of reprisal
adopted with respect to those neighbouring Powers who
fetter our commerce, which will be found more effica-
cious than those which have hitherto seen employed by
each Government in particular."

The French Papers or luesday and Wednesday
reached us thii forenoon. The Etpik itself contradicts in a positive
manner the statement of the other Journals, that an European
Congress was to be holden at Milan, to consider of the affairs df
South America and Greece. ,

By his_ Majesty's ship PYRAMUS, letters have been
received from Mexico of the 20th of March, and from
the Havannah of the 26th of April: Those from Mexico
are highly satisfactory. Much of the specie concealed
or buried during the Revolution was gradually coming
into circulation. It is ascertained also, that during the
preceding twelve months there had been coined, in the
mint of Mexico alone, seven millions of dollars. The
rate of the Exchange had altered within a few we. ks
'from 60 to 48, giving a benefit of 20 per cent. in fa-
vour of bills drawn on England. The tepnrt of °per a•
Lions in the mining districts was, as we stated yesterday,
favourable; some of the Associations were selling large
quantities of ore weekly at the mouth of the mines,
for which immediate payment was made by these
persons who undertook the process of smelting it, and
of conveying it afterwards to the mint to be coined.
—The process of smelting was, however, to be carried
on by the Associations themselves, as soon as the requi-
site establishments could be formed. The population
of the mining districts were again full of life and acti-
vity. All tire accounts received at the capital from the
provinces evinced them to be tranquil, and disposed to
cement the great union which had been formed.
The letters from Havannah neither contain news,
nor any indications of that teparatiop from Spain, which
has been mentiorerk by the French Papers as having
actually arrived.

List night, the House of Commons met for the first
time since the recess, when a Royal Message was deli-
vered, recommending provision to be made for the
young Princess VICTORIA, daughter of the la•e Duke of
Kawr, and for Geoncs Fazusatct, son of the Duke of
CUMIRRLAND: Mr. BROUGHAM obtained leave to bring
in a BiU for establishing an University in London. Mr.
SPRING Rica moved for Copies or Extracts of the Dis-
patches received from the LORD LIEUTENA NT of Ireland.
A long debate ensued, which terminated by the motion being with-
' drawn. In the House of Lords, Lord HOLSAKD'S Bill to remove
I corruption of blood from the issue of persons convicted of High
Treason, was lost by a majority of 15 to 12. .
