The English agent who came here sum months *go
has returned again. Ile bas lately been to Malta, Zante,
and Modon. At the latter place he had an inlet view
with Ibrahim Pacha and the Governor of the lonian
Islands. It is said that the object of his mission to this
place is to signify to the Pacha the determination of the
Allies, who require that the Turkish and Egyptian
army shall have evacuated the Mores witbin.a certain
time, otherwise it will he compelled by force. At thel
same time he was to ask the Pacha to remain neuter in'
,case of a war between the Powers and the Porte. It is
said that be has given an obliging but evasive answer;
and that he endeavours to retain the English agent by
fair words till he has received an answer from Constan-

FROM THE MONITEVR, MARCH 25:
PARIS, ,Macs 24._ _ _

The accounts which are I eceiveJ direct from Lisbon,
do not a;:tee in all points with those published in the
Engli h Journals. The disorders which took place in
that capital, on the days immediately following the ar-
rival of the Regent, ate but •too teal, but nothing
proves that Don Miguel has vmeeived the ptiject of
yielding to the unconstitutional excesses of the populace.
Some publ.c acts give reason to believe, on the con-
trary, that his Royal Highness understands his situation,
does not forget the engagements into which he his to.
teteJ and the pledges given, and cl,ies not dissemble the
consequences that-might result from the momentary
success of the intrives in which his 11.4nie is endea-
voured to be implicated.

The English- Ambassador has, in fact, sent away the
money at isittefrom a b'an •gnaranteed by England.—
The disorders 4rhich raged in Lisbon justified this pre•
caution. Howeier, we learn that on the 14th a Council
was held, in which the Prince Regent renewed his pro-
mise ro govern according to the powers which he had
received frotti:the Charter, .arid ilq.f9rrn decreed by
Oat fundamental law. In thesame Council the
tliso-
lotiun of tho• Chamber of Deputiei was decided. The!
English Ambassador h tiring received positive in:trac-
tions; 'the Engli-h troop 4 lase left. Three rpti melt t+

LIMA

In coming to Peru, the:traveller imagines, that be •
cause lie is entering a country rich in the ptecious
m tals, he is to find tokens of this internal wealth in the
external characur of its habitations: Enjoying, as this.
.10tintrl tor so many ages:hes erijoyed, the benefit of
-direct communication with one certainly of the most
Itamseisui'coinitriei'Of the-iivilieesi sem Id, we expect to
find in its building' aid id its'iieinie,tic arrangements,
all that wealth can purchase and .art produce; and
when. we hear of. the 44 Silver Gates .of the City of
Kings," and of the other gorgeous titles which haie
been bestowed' on Liaia, we are disappointed to find on
our entrance into this city, such evident traces of pa.
verty on the part of the superior, and unskilfulness on
the part of the artisan. This unfavourable impression,
however, does not maintain its -grotitid. 'ln the interior
of the private buildings we find ttacis at least of gran.
deur ; and in the forms and extent of the-ecclesiastical
buildings, we see evident proof that Lima has been fir
greater thin it now is. The circuMference of Lima is'
probably nearly eight Miles, toeing of an irregulax
figure; it is sairrounded. with with, which are but
humble exemplifications of the science of fortification,
and contains about eighty thousand inhabitants. The'
different streets cut each other at single angles,. forming
square masses Of buirtiing, called Quadras. . There are
many churches, generally rich in all kinds of ornament,
sometimes 'exhibiting a little mixtme..of the Moorish
styles of architectures ': Wotan falling into decay.
cached to theni were -citfiginally large monasteries, or
other ecclesiastical establishments, now nearly depot'w
lated, and fast falling to ruin. Near the centre of the
town is the great square, on one side of whiCh is the
cathedral, and on another the lesidence of
.that Sove-1
reign for the time.being of Pero. This square, or plaza,
as it is called, like all others in-this pistol the world,
bas a handsome bronze fountain id the centre. None of
the houses are more than two stories high, and gene.
Jelly they consist of but one, to avoid the effects -of the
earthquakes, so frequent here. They are mean and
dirty on the outside, but are generally painted in th}
