In the House of Lords last night Lord HOLLAND pot
several questions to the Duke of WILL! TON, in regard to the in•
tendon of Government relative to our foreign connections; to
which the illustrious Premier candidly and satisfactorily answered,
that there was no intention on the part of his Majesty's Government
to ask for a vote of credit for the service of the year ; neither was
it the intention of his Majesty's Government to bring forward any
measure which would require any explanation, or be calculated to
I excite any discnuion as to the state of the foreign relations of the
cdnotry. Lord HOLLAND then gave notice of a motion upon the
subject for Wednesday (to-mor row).

It is extremely mortifying to observe the little re-
sistance made by the Constitutionalists of Oporto to the
' power of Don MlGUEL—and indeed the general bad
management, shown by delay and otherwise, of the
cause of Independence.
The events which preceded the taking of Oporto,
are in themselves conclusive of the value of patriotism.
Don Mtouar. announced th4t be assumed the title of
King at the request of his free and independent subjects,
the Cortes. His free and independent subjects, who
had so long been shouting for the Constitutional Charter
entire, as freely gave their voices for the Absolute King,
and so the three Estates met in three different chut ches to
consummate the liberties of Portugal, offered up thanks,.
givings for the blessings which were to follow the election,
,and chaunted a Te Deum upon the occasion. Then,
anxious to consummate the independence tf the king-
dom, the army marched to Oporto, and the remnant
of the Constitutional army, which saw the wor-
shippers of Absolutism approach, fled in every di-
rection; and thus the city of Oporto, so lately the
seat of freedom, became at once the depository of
the adherents of perjury and rebellion. When men
are determined to fight for their liberties they will
sacrifice much to attain, or rather to endeavour at
attaining their object. But what have the Constitu-
tional Portuguese sacrificed ? Except a little pattering
about the Constitutional Charter. we know of nothing
they have done in the way of effective resistance. Before
we come seriously to consider of what materials the
Portuguebe are composed, no other result could have
been expected. It they are so fond of an absolute King
—if they can so soon forget DonPeorto and the Chaster,
and tamely submit to the trammels of slavery,which will
be the consequence of the election of their new King—
in GOD'a name let them enjoy their blessings undisturbed.
The 114ig4relites are said to have conducted themselves
with perfet:t good order and discipline at Oporto, and
the British Consul to have received the strongest as-
surances from the Portuguese General that the persons
and property of British subjects should be protected.—
The consternation which had previously prevailed
among them bad, in consequence, subsided ; and at the
date of the latest accounts which have reached-us, the
British families who had taken refuge on board the,
merchantmen and ships of war, were preparing to return
to the city.

An Official Bulletin from the Russian army, given in
another pai t of our Paper, states that the Russians, in
addition to the capture of Brailow, have made them-
selves master of Hirsova, en the Danube, and of the
important post of Kusteodgi, on the Black Sea. The
rear on they right and left flanks is thus secure, whilst
Kusteodgi affords them the means of receiving, with
the greatest facility, supplies of provisions and ammuni-
tion from Odessa.

We received FranklortP.pers this morning. The

SMYRNA, MAY 31.

On the 28th inst. Hassan Pacha sent for the inter-
preters of the several Consulates, and signified to them
that henceforth no an of war, of whatever nation it
might be, would be allowed to enter the port of Smyrna;
that those which were there might remain as long as

they thought proper, but that when once they had sa
they would not be permitted to come in again. He
informed them that the object of this measure was to
provent Russian men .of war from entering under the
Lig of some .other nation, and fixed the 30. h for re-
ceiving the answer of the Admirals and Commanders
of divisions.

An express was immediately sent to Admiral de
Rigny, who was at Vourla, to inform him of this com.
m unication. ,

On the 29th Count Dandolo, the ,Austrian Admiral
the American, Dutch, and English Commodores, ac-
companied by the Consul General of Austria, assembled
to hold a conference at the residence of the Consul Ge.
neral of the Netherlands.

It was there unanimously decided, that the measure
proposed by the Pacha could not be acceded to ; that
the men of war of the Powers not at war with the Porte
could not renounce their right of frequenting withou
hindrance the port of Smyrna, a right which was founded
on treaties, that nothing could authorise an infraction Of
those treaties, and that if force should be employed
against them, they would be obliged to repel it. This
answer was transmitted to the Governor, who declared
that all his efforts were directed to the maintenance of
the tranquillity of the country; and that if the Com-
manders of the squadrons thought they could propose
some mote efficacious or acceptable means of attaining
that object, he should always be ready to make an ar-
rangement with them for that purpose.
On the 29th, at three o'clock, Admiral de Rigny,wbo
was on the point of sailing for the Archipelago when
the news reached him, arrived in his boat. He sent in
the Governor an answer in writing,•the contents of which
are not known, but the object of which is to settle the
difficulty, while he firmly maintains the rights of his
flag.
In consequence of the observations made by the Com
'Ails and Naval Commanders, and a long conference of
Admiral de Rigny with the Pacha at nine in the even-
ing, every thing has beeo amicably arranged, and re-
mains on the same footing as beretofore,for the general
interest of the city.
The history of the Greek revolution up t.) this time is
entirely included in that of some distinguished foreigners
whom glory, ambition, or cupidity, have attracted to
tbis scene of action. Among the men who have acted
a part in Greece daring the last seven years, Lord
Cochrane is undoubtedly known by his preceding career,
and he who was most depended upon for the promotion
of the Greek revolution. Yet though his character and
his talents rendered him the perrm who was capable of
doing the most, he is the one who has done the least.
His naval skill and bravery, which are celehrated
through the whole world, do away with every idea of
ascribing the fault to him. The want of disci.
pline among the men under his command, the under-
hand opposition of the heads of the Government,
were doubtless the principal obstacles to his suc-
cess ; but is it not also jut to own that his love of money
had raised insurmountable obstacles in the contract
which had enrolled blots in the service of Greece? This
contract allotted an enormous sum to him
.; it
snatched from the Government and the seamen the last
prey that was left for them to devour—the balance of
the English loan. Cochrane wanted to make war like
a British Admiral; the Greeks desired only a freebooter,
who would procure them money, instead of taking it
from them.

This contract bas never been published, and is but
little known even in Greece: it is so curious a docu•
ment that it deserves to be• transcribed at length :

"Taman. concluded at Limnos August 16.1825, between Messrs.
Patois B , aluma Cam Hoimuusg, and El/WARD &sacs,
