Just as our Paper was going to press, we received the
F.toile of yesterday by express. It states, that the visit
of Count CAPO D'IsTRIA to Paris is of a private, and
not a political nature.
Accounts from Corfu, in the Florence "Gazette, repeat
the accounts of the Greek fleet having defeated the
Turks. The former is said to have consisted of SO ships of
war, 20 fire-ships, and 25 mistiks, with which the Greeks
attacked the Turkish fleet on the 14th of April. In this,
engagement the Turks are said to have lost two frigates
and seven other vessels ; the Greeks lost two brigs, and
had two other vessels damaged. After the battle the
Turks retired under the batteries of Paints, and the
Greek fleet proceeded to Missolonghi.

The French Papers of Fliday and Satirday bare
reached us. They announce the arrival in Paris of Sir
FREDERICK ADAM, the Lord High Commissioner of
the lonian Isles, and of Count CAPO D'ISTR/A, who, as
we have already stated, is likely to be reinstated in the•
Russian Ministry. The Condilutionnel attaches great
importance to this circumstance, and infers from it a,
favourable turn in the affairs of the Greeks.

--------- -
The Etoile gives accounts from Napoli di Romonia
announcing that the convocation of the National As-
sembly was to take place at EpidAuras about the 12th
of April. Several of the Moreot Chiefs bad already
arrived.—According to this account, the Provisiohal
Government is to experience several modifications in
its form, and is to consist of six Directors and a Pre.i-
dent. Each of the three great divisions of Greece, the
Continent, the Morea, and the Islands, were to name
two Directors and the President was not to belong to
any of those divisions. It was expected that PETRIt
Yrsu.ANTI (who come from Moldavia) would be ap-
pointed to that post, and a commission of three Mem-
bers was to he entrusted with the management of the
finances, whilst all the other Ministerial Departments
were consolidated into Ulm.

Bombay Pipers were this forenoon received at the
North and South American Coffee-house, but they are
not of later date than the 25.11 of December. A letter
from Cawnpore, dated the 21st ,of that month, states
that the Usurper at Blinrtpore thre..sens to strike off the
head of the young RAJAH the moment the fort is at-
tacked by the' Litglish now besieging it.

German Pipers to the 9th, Hatnburgh to the 10th,
and Dutch and Btussels rapers to the 13th instant
have reached us. One of the former, the Allgeneeins
Zeitung, contains an article from Constantinople of the
11th of April, which states that since the delivery of

the Russian ultimatum on the sth ult. nothing had
occurred on the subject, and adds that " Mr. STRAT.
/ono CANntsc continues his negotiations in favour of
the Greeks with the greatest activity, but he seems to
be far from the goal." From the Archipelago little is
heard but the capture of European ships by Greek
pirates;and it is sa id Commodore HAMILTON has svetted
the English Cal ptAins of merchant ships not to sail except
under the protection of men-of-war.
An idea of the manner in which the internal admi,
nistration of the Russian Empire was carried on during
the last years of ALEXANDER, may be formed from a
Report of the Committee recently presented to the
Einpernr NICHOLAS by Prince LAI/JANOS). ROSTOPSICY.
in which he is informed that sixteen Governments had
neglected to carry into execution two thousand seven
hundred and forty-ninc Ukases addressed to them by th:.
Directing Senate, from the year 1822 till 1824. The
Committee, after severely teprim 'tiding those sixteen
Government-, granted them one year for executing,
those Ukase,, but the Emrcnon reduced the time to
OH cc months, and ot &Ica that the Governors who

&mid in future be guilty of %eh irregularities shoold
be prosictited before the Criminal COWL •
A Russian Ukasie'rermib• the exporj.tion•of horses
on payment of a duty. Letters from Canes, pt the 7th'
Marl., quoted in a' notice from Fratikfort of the 7th
instant, mention an. attempt at Treaty bet Ween Mug-
TAPHA BET and Russo, Chief of ste Sphakiotes, and
other Greek Captains, with a view to put down the in-
surgent bands. Russo, it is said, has promised evety
thing in his power.
Beyond the importa;=, Zi—Nliss'Ofonglti still held
out on the 12th of Apia, little is really known of the
affairs of the Greeks. Notwithstanding all that has been
said of Colunel FABVIEIt having arrived at Missolonghi,
he appears to be still in Eastern Greece, where, if a
letter from Genoa cf the Ist inst. is to be relied on, he
defeated a corps of Arabs, 2,000 strong, on the 18th of
March, which had been sent againt him to Salona, by
Isaantat PACIIA.

In another part of our Paper we have inserted from
the London Gazette the official dispatches of the termi-
nation of the Burmese war, and the treaty by which it
has been so happily concluded- The great impression
our arms had made on the Burmese Emperor is evident
by the concess'ons he has made to purchase peace. By
this treaty, which was signed on the.l3J of January, the
four provinces of Arracan, which the Burmese had for-
meriy usurpeJ, together with the provinces of Mergui,
Tavoy, and Zea, ate to be ceded to the East India
Company ; the Psovintes or Kingdoms of Assam,
Cachar, Zeatung, and Murnipore, are to be pl.rced
under Princes named by the British Government;
commerce is to Ire put on a footing of recipro-
city, and the Burmese are to pay one entre of ru-
pees, about 1,200,0001. sterling, as an indemnity for
the espences of the war. As by this treaty we obtain
possession of the maritime provinces of the Burmese
Empire, including the important hatbur of Rangoon,
w. shall have increased means of resisting any future
aggression, should the lesson just taught the Monarch
of the White Elephant ever be forgotten.
By the Mellish which brought the Burmese treaty,'
we have intelligence from Bhurtpore to the 25th De-
cember. At that date all the preparations for attack'ng
the fortress were complete, with a force so overwhelming
that there is I.ttle doubt of its fall. The following is a
list of the ordnance prepared for the siege of Bhurtpore:
Guns-1G 24-pounders, 2018-ditto, and 4 12-ditto.
Howitzers-1!
Mortars-45 11-inch, 12 10-ditto, and 2 13 ditto, total 111.
Horse Artillery...-3 European troops-4 12-pounders, 6 6-ditto,
and 6 howitzers.
Rocket Troop-412 pounders.
. .
.lath Native Troon--.-12 6-poonders.;-total 32.
Private Letters from Madrid state, Mr. LAMB, the
English Ambassador, had delivered two notes to the Due de no-
ritavino, in one of which he urged the the Spanish Government
the recognition of South Anteltsit Independence.
11 A respectable Gentleman has put into our hands a
tong letter from a friend of his, who was in Sierra Leone
on the 26th January last, at the date thereof. Where
he now is, is another question; but he does most fer-
vently pray that he was out of that horrible place. We
insert the most striking parts of the letter.—Gieszow
courier. "Sierra Leone, January 26,1826.
" lam still in the land of the living, as you may suppose; but in
this country one's own assertion is not sollicient, as the military
agents, when, about to pay the troops ia• addition to the account of
the individual, that he is alive, require also the certificate of the
Centmanding Officer of the corps. You can form no idea of this
horrible climate.. Most of the Officers lately come out, are dead.
Out of the number of seven hundred men, some time ago In high
health and spirits, and ready to go against the Asbantees, if that
had been necessary, it would now be difficult to find fifty, or half
Shit number, fit for duty. Last year a detachment, consisting of one
hundred and ten soldiers and six officers medical commissaries
included, were sent to garrison the Isles des Los. Five Officers
are dead. The men are all nearly so. The survivors are wretched,
miserable looking spectres. Amongst the Military it consists with
my knowledge, that one company, on a particular station, was
three times re-inforced in a short period. In one month (August)
outof eighry.niue, six terjeants and twenty-eight privates died !
Captain Rou, Aide-de-eamp, and Lieutenant Turner extra died
since the begiunhig of this month. This is the second nephew the
;;Genral has lost. His two Mencius .still living, but they go bottle
in .au—lirst ship. The men composing the corps which are sent out
from. )3ritain being culprits and convicts, exceed any thing t can
state, in licetiousneu, depravity and villiany. They are nearly all
low Irish. The crimes which am committed In one company in a
week would exceed belief. When a fresh batch comes out and are
landed the scenes are dreadful, and did not the climate and fever
carry them off so fast, I know not what we should do. The Senior
Lieutenants on the coast at present are principally Clerks, &c. who
were appointed pro tempers. by the late Sir Charles M'Carthy, and
confirmed by the Government at home.
" With regard to the war on the Gold Coast, a more infamous I
hoax was never practised than the battles fought with those negrou
—the circumstances I had from an Officer who was present. The
late Sir Charles il'Carthy, by his goodness, had endeared himself
to the vat.ve blacks ; on a palaver or quarrel breaking out, he
usually was able to settle it for them. The Ashautees and Akim
people, with the Eantees, had a quarrel, Sir Charles was then on the
Gold Coast ; he heard the Ashantees were coming down, and went
to meet them with the band of the African Corps, several merchants
and aventuret. and a few black soldiers to make a shew with. On
their meeting tie Asbantees, Sir Chas. ordered the band replay God
sow 14e ling, and advanced to meet them on friendly terms.
—The barbarians, seeing the small number, fired at hint and the
others who were with him, and killed and wounded several, put all
I,lse white men they could seize, except one, to death.
" The next battle of Colonel Sutherland, those barbarians
came down in great force to Cape Coast Castle, and encamped
nearly vitro miles from it. The Colonel proceeded to meet them
with the natives and inhabitants, and both parties hid themselves
and fired; the British were in reserve and did not fire, nor had
occasion to fire the whole time. When the parties were tired of
this they left off; Colonel Sutherland and the troops returned to
the Castle. Next morning when they thought to begin again, the
Askantem were gone, none could tell where, and lots of dead se-
gran were lying up and down, some of disease and some shot—
finally, the Asbantees went back to their hones. Such is the story
of• my informant."
