The following important clause which has been added
to the Malt Bill, upon its re-commitment in the Com-
mittee, takes away that part of the Bill which would
have been most injurious to the interests of many indi-
viduals :--

In the House of Peers last night, the Report of the
Committee on the Warehomed Cern BM was received after two
Amendments been moved and negatived without a division.—
The urst we. by the Earl of MAL3IOII9IIT, which proposed to
limit the release of Bonded Cora, to that Warehoused before the
first day of June, instead of the first day of July. The searod,
moved by Lord. REDISDALL proposed the omissloo of that
part of the measure which for every shilling's increase in price
diminishes the duty to the amount of two shillings. In the
course of the discussion on this subject, Earl Garr suggested
that gnat relief would be afforded to agriculturists, If the ex-
isting prohibition on the cultivatioa of Tobacco in this mow
try were removed. It had been originally enacted la order
to eneourap the growth of that plant in Virginia, and since the
separatloss of that flute from the British Empire it was certainly
no longer entitled to such protection. Lord GODSIUCM ad-
mitted the impolicy of that prohibition even at the time of
its enactment, and promised to consider whether it might not
be removed without materially injuring the Revenue, m he
would nut think it any relief to agriculturists to permit the growth
of tobacco, and then to clog it with any dutr at. all. Yhe Corn
Bill is to be read a third time this day, and to be returned to
Commons to-morrow. The Customs Bill went through a Com-
mittee, ater a discussion of some interest respecting the policy of
allowing foreign Copper to be brought to this country to be
smoked, and thou re-exported to the Cm:niacin.

Accounts from Madrid of the 14th June state, that
the Army of Observation still remained in its-old can-
tonments in the environs of Caceres; but it was
believed they were going to encamp at Brozas and Al-.
cantara in G Alicia. The corps of General EouIA suffered
severely from desertion. 'This General remained on the:
line of the Minho, and. the Portuguese ktpt quiet
in their cantonments, as well as on the frontiers.—
Mr. LAMB, it appears, did not consider the sickness in
the Army of Observation an obstacle to its commence.
ing its retreat, as he had strongly in►isted, that the Treaty
regarding that object should be executed. In consequence
of these remonstrances, it is said that orders were to be

sent to General SAasnsct► to commence the retreat.—
Sickness was making great progress in the army, Mid
several Physicians bad been sent to the Head-quarters:

Accounts from Pampeluoa, of the 15th June, state
that for several weeks previously the garrison had
worked nine hours every day in repairing that fortress.

The Austrian Observer, which reached us this morn;
ing to the 17th inst. contains no news from Greece. and
not so much. as an allusion to the negociations in the
Turkish capit,l, which, , notwithstanding all that has
been recently said upon the subject, really seem to make
as little progress as Peselope's web. At least it may
affirmed with some confidence, that Austria does net
exert herself much to accelerate their progress la if the
truth were known, it would Probably be found that their
dilatory course is owing in a great degree to bar
secret machinations. One thing, however, is clear,

that the tone of her favourite Journal has undergone a
perceptible change nn the subject of the noble contest
in which the Greeks are engaged; and this is a pretty
conclusive proof that the sentiments of that Power
have acquired no new direction. We are confirmed the
more in this opinion, by the statement which appears in
the Austria, Obsaver, that their Imperial MAJESTIIS
were to-set out at the commencement of the ensuing

month for their estates in Upper Austria, with the in-
tention of remaining there some time. It also says that
Panes: Merrettnicst was to proceed immediately to
his estates in Bohemia, and would not return before
August. From this intelligence we should suppesi
that the affairs of Greece did not appear to the Austrian
Cabinet to be of a very urgent nature, and that cones•
qnently the question was either disposed of, as far as the
European Powers were concerned, or that it was putt
by common consent to a more distant period.
The Austria* Observer contradicts in the most lap
dignant terms a statement which appeared in one of the
French Papers, that all the subjects of France, residing
at Vienna, had been ordered by the Austrian police
to quit that capital in three days. This statement,
it says, 44 furnishes a new proof of the scandalous,
system of lying, by which the revolutionary Journals
of Patis daily impose on their plastic. OW ptlolic,

especially in this capitol, is the best tittle to
lily the glaring untruth of this statement, which '
