This forenoon we received Piedatoatese Gavttes to
the 12th inst. and Frankfort Papers to the 17th. They
contain very little political intelligence. An article
from Turin says, 61 It has been ordered, by a sovereign
resolution of his Majesty the Emperor of AUSTRIA, that
the loan made by the merchants of Venice of 1805, shall
be paid, The claim arising from this loan shall be li-
quidated, and paid without any distinction between
Austrian subjects and foreigners." We hope this will
meet the eye of FERDWAND VII.
An article from Naples of the 28th of February, cor-
rects a statement of the Minister, of the 7th of the
same month, which says: " The Vesuvius, a new ship
of the line, was launched at Naples the 9th January,
and the Government pays great attention to strengthen-
ing its marine, which the frequent depredations of the
Barbary pirates oblige it to do."
The Vesuvius, of 84 guns, was launched the Id De
comber, at Castelamare, and there has not been the
slightest difference with the Barbary States since the
conclusion of the treaties in 1816, so that there is no
reason to increase the navy on their account. His Ma.
jesty's Consuls reside at Tunis and Tripoli, and are well
respected.
Accounts from Trieste state, that Trient and the whole
valley continue to enjoy the finest weather ; the crops
are in the finest condition, and promise, for the
next harvest, a great quantity, but not in value; for
corn, especially Wheat, daily falls in price, and the
stock is so great, that there is no demand except for
daily consumption. Trieste had procured a supply of
64,000 stari, from Italy, which is already in the maga.
sine.. Wine is equally low in price ; but the price of
Silk has risen very much within these few weeks. Most,
of the cultivators were obliged, by the low prices of
their Wines, to part with their. Silk, at a time when it
was extremely depreciated in value. The late rise.
however, gives them greater hopes for the nest season.
Toward the end of February the new fallen snow lay
three feet deep in the streets of Coire, and in the upper
vallies of the Grisons it was in immense quantities:
houses were crushed beneath the enormous weight of
the muses that covered them. It was with great diffi-
culty that the principal roads were kept open, but the
Sittings of the Court of Appeal were interrupted for
four days. On the Ist and 2d, avalanches began to fall.
In Brettogan two men were buried, but recovered. On
the 2d, 14 men, clearing a road near the village of
Vallendas, were surprised by an avalanche. It broke

the thigh of one, and carried dve others thus th *bins,

An article dated Constantinople, March 10; is the
Avgsburgh Universal Gakete, says, that the intelligence
received there from Greece was very unfavourable to
the Turks; that the insutrection against the Central
Greek Government having been entirely subdued, it
was making vigorous preparations for the approaching
campaign; and that OMER VRIONE had written to the
Porte, stating that his troops had rebelled.

Advices from Madrid to the 10th instant assert, that
the-health of the KING was in so bad a state, that the
temoval of the Court to Aranjuez, which was to have
taken place on the 14th instant, has been postponed
to the end of April. The Council of Castile has just
given a notable proof that it has no sympathy with
that spirit of liberality of which Great B:itain is now
affording a splendid ex imple. This sagacious hOdy,
by way of displaying its love of learning, has forbidden
the exportation of any books from Spain printed -be-
fore the year 1700. The reason assigned for this
proceeding is, that many of the productions of ancient
Spanish literature, and particularly of the eminent
authors of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, have
been sent to foreign countries. The Council of Castile
no doubt thills it better that books should perish at
home than that they should be read abroad. It is stated
in one of the French Papers that the famous QUERAULT,
who has long scoured the provinces, endeavouring to
induce the Royalists to take arms against the French,
has succeeded in collecting some individuals, who are'
now With him in the mountains of Manseny, and that
near the Cole de Balaguer a firing of musketry was re-
cently heard, which lasted for several hours, between
the Royalist volunteers of the surrounding villages, and
a guerilla, according to some, and a band of robbers,
according to others. The following fact is mentioned
in a private letter from Tangier:
se The Spanish refugees having received from the
King of Morocco an order to quit his States, they
have retired to the French Consul's, whd has granted
them a protection until he receives instructions upon
the subject. The Spaniards declared they would em-
brace Islamism, if the Consul refused to protect them:.

Brussels Papers to the 24di instant reached us this
forenoon. Letters front Trieste state, that by the latest
accounts from the Archipelago, nothing remarkable
had occurred there. The sea is entirely open, for' no
armed vessels, Greek, Turkish, or Egyptian, are to be
seen. The principal squadron of the Greeks is at
Hydra, in wh'ch port great preparations are making
for the next campaign. They are building new ships
of war, as well as fireships. The considerable remit-
tances of money, and ti:e consignments of artilltry and
ammtmit.on which have been received from England
and Malta, contribute to accelerate these precautions.
There is a report in circulation, that the Porte, de.
siring to keep the Egyptian troops in its armies, has
promised the Pacha of Egypt to acknowledge him as
Sovereign of the Peloponnesus, as soon as that Province
shall have been conquered. But it is much doubted
whether the Pacha will ever determine to leave the
country which he now governs, the remoteness of whic h
renders hin in a manner independent of the authority
of the SULTA N.

The plans of the Viceroy of Egypt appear to he nearly
ripe for execution. He is openly assuming jurisdiction
over the adjacent provinces of the empire. From this
to a declaration of his sovereignty there is but one step.
Accounts from the frontiers of Servia say, that the
representations of the Pacha of Belgrade against the
Erman of the SULTAN, relative to the augmentation of
the tribute imposed upOn the Servians, have been very
ill-received at Constantinople. A Tartar who has ar-
rived at Belgrade has brought.formal orders to put the
&mats of the SULTAN into immediate execution. Every
part of the Turkish dominions is suffering the extreme
of misery. The Janissaries are turbulent and ungo-
vernable, and the Pachas seem more intent upon taking
measures to secure their independence than upon ren-
dering any efficient aid to the Porte.

Yesterday the Cabinet Ministers dined with Lord Bex•
ter. at his house in Great George-street, Westminster.
The Duke of NORFOLK had a grand Dinner party on
Tuesday, in St. James's-square.
The Countess of AKKAN'S Card party, on Tuesday
evening, sod the one held by Sir Wm. tam and Mrs. Boeotian, in
Berkeley-spare ; with Lady GRANTHAM'S select Circle. were nu-
merously and fashionably attended.
The celebrated Madame SZYMANOWSKT, first Pianist
to the Empresses of RUSSIA. whose Conceits were last season the
delight of the Fashionable World, is, we are happy to find, returned
to Loaded', after a successful tour in Italy. We understand that
Madame SerNANOWSKY will remain in town during the season, and
will again give a limited number of Concerts.
Monday evening. Mr. LATCHFORD, the King's Mes-
meager, arrived la tows with dispatches from our Ambassador at
Sc. Petersburgb.
Upwards of 20.0001. have been subscribed here and

ENGLISH Oases HousII.•••MATHIWK is pursuing his
career with undiminished success. The favourite passages onTuesday
sight appeared tote the Irish Watchman, disturbed by the question
of What's o'Cleek ? the misery of Bsusutr the actor, on supposing
himself poisoned when playing the Ghost in ifoosies ; the excessive
benevolence of a pious Lady, who repairs with all her servants to
cheer the inmates of the workhouse, and leaves her husband and his
friends without a dinner ; the fat German Conk, who, in the same
breath, sympathizes with the sorrows of Warrea, and orders the
skinning of eels; and the jovial Freemason who gives a lecture on
laughs, and tells a story of a stammering man who went to bathe at
Brighton, and was decked three times before be could finish his
sentence, and said that his physician ordered him to be dipped only
oacts The Hone' was fell, and the laughter and applause was
loud and frequent.
We alluded formerly to a ttial at Boulogne between
his Britannic Majesty's Consul there, and a French Doctor, Do.
The Doctor has been found guilty of the defamatory ex-
pressions uttered against Use Consul, and lined 300 francs, 30 francs
to the Knee, and all expenses. A mew trial is moved for, which is
at present going on.
The Stamford fair has been most fashionably at-
readied this year. AU the neighbouring families attended :—from

IPriday.
