Advices received this morning from Madrid, of the
lOth in= communicate a rather intetesting piece of in•

telligeace,in the appointment of the Duke of SANCARLOS
as Minister of his CATU LIC MAJUTT'S Household.
Whether this should be looked upon as the Avant-Cor-
mr to other Ministerial changes, we cannot say, for
who can pretend to know beforehand the intentions of
that capricious Court? In any other case, we might say, it
prognosticated a total change of Ministry; and conse-
quently a departure from the present course of policy.
Of the principles of the new Minister of the House-
hold we are ignorant, and it is possible that be
is ,la the same dilemma himself, having she cha-
racter of being a very flexible personage. This is
not the first time that he has been in favour, and it
is well koowa that he has been repeatedly in disgrace;
but as be always found a resting place at the French
Court, whea forced to fly from his own, it is highly
probable that his present appointment is the effect of
French influence.

In the meantime the embarrassments of the Spanish
G ►vernment accumulate rapidly. A aew insurgent
band, headed by an old guerilla leader, named &moan,
bas made its appearance in Old Castle, where it bas
created great alarm. In revenge, the Jesuits ate mul-
tiplying to an amazing degree; and it is confidently
affirmed, that the capital of this pestilential Order has
increased within the la,t twelvemonths to the extent of
25 millions of francs (one million sterling.)

We have advice: from Alexandria to the 11th of
April, which mention that the Viceroy had *rived there,
to superintend in person the new expedition, which was
fitting out against the Greeks. It was to be on a large
scale, including the- navy, as well as
.the troops who
were to be embarked. SoLvse AN AQA, of whose depar-
ture from Smyrna in a French frigate we spoke a few days
since, had arrived, and was raised to the dignity of a
Pacha soon after his arrival. We believe he is a
French renegado, and his arrival in a French vessel of
war, does not say much for the religion or the neutrality
Of the Government of his MOST CHRISTIAN MAJESTY.
This renegado has been appointed Governor of Candia,
which the Viczacie appears most solicitous to guard, not
for his Sublime Master, but for himself. The VIIIRROY'S
finsinCel, notwithstanding his, character of sole mer-
chant of his dominions, and his art of fleecing in the
customary way of taxation, are said to be in *so
very low a state, that it is confidently reported he means
to try to raise the wind in the way of a loan. It is even
said that he has already sent a person, vested with the
necessary powers for this purpose to Vienna ; and that
it now depends upon the House of ROTHSCHILD, to
whom be is directed to apply in the first instance, whe-
ther the experiment will Succeed or no.. Without ven-
turing to anticipate the issue, we can only say that this re-
spectable House has lent large sums to parties, which
could not give as good security as the PAcHA,notwi 11-
standing the operation of the silken cord, to which the
neck of his Highness is liable. It appears there has
been a military tumult at Grand Cairo, caused by those
Swiss of the East, the Albanians, who, disliking their pay
or their rations, thought proper to. use some menacing de-
monstrations. The PACH A, however, m ide short wor k of
the matter, getting rid of the most troublesome of the
mutineers, to the number of 400, by the expeditious pro.
cess of strangling or drowning. He afterwards confided
the service of the place to a body of his regular troops.
The young Duke of Iticnetaatr had Hayed at Alex-
, andria to embark there for France.

LORD COCHRANE.

The Ps Ns Papers, which arrived last night, cofinlie

no news of the slightest intetest. The intelligence from
Constantinople is old, and most of the Ltcts, it notices,
are perverted. The statement, reipectinr the reluctance
the Greeks to place themselves under Lord COMP
RAMC, is in particular a gross perversion, as will be seen
from his Lordship's Proclamation, of which the follow-
ing is a copy :

PROCLAMATION OF LORD COCHRANE TO THE
ORME NATION.

" Gamins ! Your most dangerous enemy, Discord, is over•
come; what remains to you to perform Is now renderecriasy. This
people on ivory side rush to arms—tbe fate of the Acropolis Is no
longer doubtful—the besiegers are In their turn besieged—the
transport of provision Is intercepted—the passes are guarded, and
retreat Is become impossible—the liberty of this classic soil of
Athens is insured—once more will arts and science flourish there!

4' 0, C !—Having attained this object, lay not aside your
arms so long al the ferocious Muuulman treads the sacred land of
your fathers. Let a noble emulation for glory animate your young
Seamen and the Heroes of the Continent ; let them hasten in a
masa to take their stations in the National fleet—then will inde-
pendence, and the possession of all your rights. prove suacient to
enable you to stop the passage of the Hellespont, and carry the war
into the States of the enemy : the haughty Sultan, the sanguinary
destroyer of your countrymen, will become the victim. The Ma-
homedan Power will destroy itself—the banner of the Croft will
again boat on the walls of St. Sophia—Greece will spin have laws
—per Cities will rise once more from their ruins.—and her. Mare
glory will equal that of ages past; but think not, 0, Glisists!
that your country wW be free, unless each of you hasten to her
assistance and defence.

" From oo board the Greek vessel Hellas, the First Admfral and
Commander of the Maritime Forces of Greece.

"31st March (12th April), 1827.

We received this morning Dutch and Brussels Papers
to the 23c1 inst. A contagious distemper, apparently
of a very malignant kind, has aft cted since the begin-
ning of April the village of Autgaerde, near Tirlemont.
Its malignity may be judged of from the following
facts :—Out of a population of 400 persons, 17 have
already di.d, and 70, among whom is the Rector. are
confined to their beds. The nature of the disease is not
known; and it is merely stated, that the bodies of those
who die of it, grow quite black. As the place where it
prevails, is not above 25 miles from Brussels, it is not
much to the creat of the Government, that it has not
taken steps sooner to ascertain its nature, and arrest
its progress.
It is reported that the late King of SAXoNY has left
the whole of his personal property, amounting to
18 millions of Saxon dollars (about 9 millions sterling)
to the Princess Attotriva, his only child, who is ex.
cluded from the Throne, on account of her sex. She is
about 40 years of age, unmarried, can boast of few per-
sonal charms, but, in default thereof, bears a most
amiable character.

Travelling in Germany, which used to be prover-
bially slow, is now almost as expeditious as in this
country, and fully as rapid as in France. The journey
from Hamburgh to Vienna, by the way of Berl n,
Dresden, and Prague, is regularly made at present i
six days and a h.lf, including a stoppage of fifteen
hours at Berlin,• three hours at Dresden, and nine at
Prague. Twenty years ago, double this' time was re.
quired ; and the change is a conclusive proof, that the
Germans are trading on the heels of their more culti-
vated neighbours in the career of improvement.
We are happy to learn that the Leipsic fair has turned

out much better than had been anticipated. A great
number of Waliachians, Greeks, Russians, Polish Jews,

Armenians, and even Persians, had arrived. There
was consequently a brisk demand, particularly for
leather, ordinary woollen cloths, furs, silks, and English
minufactured goods of every description. The sellers,
however, complained of the prices they were obliged to
accept, which is accounted for by the great quantity of
goods in the market.

We also receised this morning the Algemeixe Zeitung
to the 18th inst. but it is wholly destitute ( f news of a
poli:ic4l character. We extract the following article,
to show the spirit of improvement that has displayed
itself in the good city of Hamburgh. It must be ob-
served that no money can be raised or granted except
by a vote of all the citizens, convened in a general As-
sembly :the Senate proposing, sod the people granting :
