CONSTANTINOPLE. Dac.sl.
I have already told you that the Porte had thought
it very important to receive a communication of the
full powers which autliolizej the Ambassadors to quit
Constantinople, and that it did not grant them pass.
ports, because it considered the friendly relations bi-
tween it and the. three Powers as still subsisting, ani
the departure of the Ambassadors as a temporary mea-
sure. You know, too, that the Porte made some pro-
posals to M. de Ribeaupierre just before his departure,
which he did not think himself authorized to receive
after the departure of his colleagues, though they in
some measure agreed with the Treaty of London. It is
now said that the Porte has drawn up a kind of memo;
rial on the negociations, which, together with the note
complaining of the conduct of the Ambassadors, it in-
tends to transmit, through the Sardinian Envoy, to the
Courts of Paris, London, and St. Petersburgh.
It fancies that, notwithstanding the departure of the
Ambassadors, rio formal rupture is to be feared, and
that as soon as the memorial has Reached the three Ca-,
bluets, all difficulties will be removed. It seems too,
that since the Austrian Court has refused the part of
mediator, proposed in the (hand Vizier's letter, the Au-
strian Inter nuncio continues his efforts to induce the
Porte to yield, but does not take tiny active part in the
negociation.

Lord Cochrane is now arriving off Navarin, where he
may greatly distress the Egyptians, by intercepting
their provisions. It is said that Ibrahim has resolved
to employ all his vessels that ate still fit for sea to con-
vey his troops back to Alexandria, under the protec-
tion of one of The European squadrons. -

" The 3d Company of Artillery, P►oneers, &c. start
this evening to meet the battering train coming from
Ahmednugger; they are expected to return in seven
days, after which they will proceed to Kolapore with
the 12th Native Infantry, and a detachment of four
companies of the Queen's Royals. The first detachment,
which left on Thursday last, consisted of one troop of
Horse Artillery, and a Light Battalion, composed of one
Light Company from each of the following Corps ; viz.
the Queen's; the 20th Foot (commanded by Capt. C. C.
Taylor); the 11th and 12th Re4imenta of Native In-
fantry ; four troops of his Majesty s 4th Light Dragoons;
and two troops of Speller's horse. Tne.infantr7 are
under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Place, of the
Queen's; the Artillery under Lieutenant-Colonel Russell;
and the Cavalry under Lieutenant-Colonel Wilson, of
his Majesty's Dragoons. They started in fine spirits
and health, and in excellent order, and are to form the
advanced guard of the Bombay forces. A third detach-
ment is spoken of, but it is very uncertain whether it
will be found necessary to send it.

ORIGIN OF TirEnuar. BPorNos.—lt was long the re-

derivoil their heat from the presence of pyrites in the

nic agency. But in the south-east departments of
France, Clermont, Auvergne, &c. where volcanic
agency has left unquestionable evidence of its existence,
toth as to the nature of the soil, and the general face of
the country, warm springs are very ccmrnon. It is
therefore natural to infer that, although the period is
very remote at which these volcanic operations were in
activity, the original cause of such agency is still in
exiser ce. The hot springs in Iceland,—the tempera-
ture of which is, in one spot, upwards of 200 degrees
Farenheit, are situate in the v'crnity of one of the most
active volcanoes in the world, and afford an additional
proof, that these two natural phenomena have their ori-
gin in the same source—permanent-subterranean fires.

HOUSE OF LORDS—THIS DAY.
The second Session of the pre ent Parliament was this
day opened by Royal Commission.
At two o'clock the Loan CHANCELLOR entered, and.
having talen his seat, together with the other Noble
Lords, appointed as Lords Commissioners for opening
Parliament in his MAJESTY'S Mime, the Gentleman
U.ber of the Black Rod. Sir THOMAS Tvawnitr, was
directed to tequire the attendance of the Commons.
In a kw minutes, Mr. SPEAKER,- preceded, and at.
tended by the Offnets of the House, and followed by a
considerable number of Members, appeased at the tar.
The Commission having been read, his Lordship, in
an audible and film voice, delivered the folloning most
gracious S,leech:
" My Lords and Genliensen,
" We are c.mmanded by his MAJeSTY to acquaint
you, that his MAJESTY continues to receive from all
Foreign nine's and States assurances of their desire to
maintain the relations pf amity with this country ; and
that the gteat Powers of Europe participate in the
earnest wisb of his MAJESTY to cultivate a good under.
standing upon all points which may conduce to the
preservation of peace.
" His hlAJawri has viewei for some time past, with
great concern, the state of affairs in the East of Eutope.
" For several years a contest has been carried on be.
tween the Ottoman Porte and the Inhabitants of the
Greek Provinces and Islands, which
,has been marked
on each side by excesses revolting to humanity.

14 In the progress of that contest, the rights of neu-
tralßtates and the laws which regulate the intercourse
of civilized na/iuns have bieu repeatedly violated,
and the peaceful commerce of his MAJILIITT'S subjects.
bar been exposed to frequent interruption and to depre-
dations, too often siggravated by acts of violence and

atsiroity.
" His MAJUTT has felt the deepest anxiety to ttr

urinate dte calamities, and avert the dangers, insepara-
imie from hostilities, which constitute the only exception
to the general tranquillity of Europe.
" Having been earnestly entreated by the Greeks to
interpose his good offices, with a view to effect a reconci-
liation between them and the Ottoman Pate,
itaassxy coocvrted measures for that put poke, in die first
instance, with the Emperor of Russia, and subbrquenhy
with his IMPERIAL. MAJEbTY and the King of FRANCE.'
“ His Warm has given directions that thete
should be laid before you copies of the Protocol
signed at St. Petersburgb by the Plenipotentiaties of
his Maxestir, and of his IMPERIAL MAJESTY the Em-

perm of Russia, on the 4th April, 1826, and of the

Treaty entered into between his MAJZSTY end the
Courts of the Tuileries and of St. Petersburgh on thi
6:llJuly, 1827.
“ In the course of the measures adopted with a •irw

to carry into effect the object of the Treaty. a collision
wholly uuespected by his MAJESTY took place in the
port of Navarin, between the fleets of the contracting
Powers and that of the 0 tiontan Prte.
" Note ithstanding the valour displayed by the com-
bined Fleet, his MAJEiTY deeply laments that this con
ftret should have occurred with the naval force of an
ancient Ally ; but he still entesteins a confident hope,
that this untoward event will not be followed by futther
hostilities. and will not impede that amicable adjust-
ment of the existing differences between the Porte and
. the Greeks, to which it is so manifestly their common
interest to accede.

"• In maintaining the national faith, by adhering t,)
the engageosints into which his MAJIIB I Y 4.: ente,ed,
isllln.issfY %Ail! never lose bight of the great ohjrct•
. to which all his efforts have been directed—the tens,,•

permanent settlement of their future Relations to each
other,--and the maintenance of the repose of E,rdpe
upon the basis on which it has rested since the last
general Treaty of Peace.
1 His MAMMY has the greateat satisfaction in in-
forming you, chat the purposes for which his MAJESTY,
upon the requisition of the Court of Lisbon, detached
w military force to Portugal, have been accomplished.
The obligations of good faith having been fulfilled,
and the safety and'icdependence of Portugal secured,
his MAJESTY has given orders that the forces now In
that country should be'immediately withdrawn?
" We are commanded by his MAJESTY to acquaint
you, that his MAJESTY h 4s concluded Treaties of Amity
and Commerce.witb die Emperor of BRAZIL, and with
,the United States of4lesico, copies of which will, by
his MAJESTY'S commands, be laid before you.

On the 17th of last month a European ship of war,
beating a flag of- truce, entered the harbour of Navarin
from the West. This ship was the English sloop of

noitred the port, and, without having ,any communica-
ion with the Turkish ships lying in it, icon left it, and
put to sea again.
