In the House of Commons, last night, Mr. LAMB
-
TON brought forward his Motion on the subject of
Parliamentary Reform. The leading features of his
plan were, to extend the Elective Franchi:e, in Cities
and Towns, to Householders—in Counties, to Copy-
holders, and certain descriptions of Leaseholders: he
also proposed to disfranchise the rotten Boroughs,
and to revive Triennial Parliaments. The Motion
was seconded, in a short speech, by Mr. &WHITBREAD,
and opposed by Mr. WILMOT and others. After a
discussion of some length, on the motion of the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the debate was ad-
journed to this day.
In the House of Lords, the Catholic Emancipation
Bill was lost, this morning, by a majority of 59.
Amongst its opponents were his Royal Highness the
Duke of YORK, Lord LIVERPOOL, the LORD CHAN-
cstLon, and Lord SIDMOUTH and among its sup-
porters, the Marquis of LANSDOWN, Lord GREW-
vats, and Lord MELVILLE.

A Mail from Hamburgh has been the only foreign
arrival this forenoon. It brings letters and papers to

HUNGARY, MARCH 26.

Private accounts from Jassy, in Moldavia, contain
the following details :
The plan for throwing off the Turkish yoke is now
ripe among the Greeks nations in Turkey. The plan
formed in the secret societies extends to Thessaly;
Macedonia, Albania, More.a:Romelia, and the Islands
of the Archipelago. Every one able to bear arms is
called upon, and large funds are prepared. At Jassy,
after Divine Service, on the 11th, three standards
were consecrated, to which the oath was taken with
the greatest enthusiasm. These standards are all tri-1
coloured--black, white, and red, as well as the cock-
ade. One of these standards has upon it a cross,
with the device, In hoc siva vin au—the emblem
and motto which, according to tradition, appeared
in the Heavens to Coastaatine the Great, before .a

battle, oft which depended the consolidation of his'
power, and which induced him to assume the Chi

The events in Moldavia and Walachia are con-
nected with the great plan. Ali Pacha is said to have
professed the Christian religion 4nd to have assumed
the name of Alexander (according to other accounts,
that of Constantine), and to have joined the Alliance.
An account from Brody of the 16th of March, af-
ter a statement of the events in Walachia and Mol-
davia, says, thousands of Greeks repair daily, unmo-
lested, from the Russian territory to Prince Ypsilanti,
who had his head-quarters at Kischenew, in Russian
Moldavia, on the frontiers of Turkish Moldavia, and
seems to have undertaken everything of his own
head, without any higher authority (how severely this
has been disapproved by the Emperor Alexander is
already known—so much is certain, that for the
present no ships can sail from Odessa).

HANOVER, APRIL 7.
In consequence of the positive inforniation brought
by the last English Mail, concerning the visit of his
Majesty our King to his German dominions, in the
beginning of August, the Royal Authorities were
yesterday furnished with the necessary instructions.
This City will be uncommonly brilliant and lively in
consequence of his Majesty's presence.

The Prince of Cambridge, son of his Royal High-
ness the Go►ernor-General, is still indisposed, in con-
sequence of his late attack of the scarlet fever.

WARSAW, MARCH ea.

The Austrian troops in Gallicia have orders to be
in readine►s to march. Foreign troops of an allied
Power are expected shortly to march through that

FALL OF LIMA.

The Iftdicateur, a Rourdeaux journal, contains the
following extract of a private letter, written on board
the L'Arriege, armed ship, in quarantine in Toulon
Roads : 4. MARCH 29.

" We were met, in 18 degrees north latitude, by
an English ship, the Cyrus, of London, who informed
and certified to us that Callao and Lima had fallen
into the power of the Insurgents. This ship was de-
sirous of anchoring at Callao ; but an Independent
vessel having fired at them, they made sail and got
away. The design was to stop them, to prevent their
carrying this important intelligence to Europe."

Great preparations are making by the Municipal
Authorities of the city of Paris for a fete to be given
at the Hotel de Ville, in celebration of the baptism
of the infant Duke de BOURDIMUL The Stewards
sent 25 cards of invitation to the President of the
Chamber of Deputies, for the use of the Members.
When the number was announced, several voices ex-
claimed—" indecent," "shabby," (mesquin), throw
them aside, and proceed with the business." It was,
however, put to the vote, and carried by a small
majority, that the guests should be drawn by lot,
which accordingly took place, and out came a motley
group of 25 Liberals, Ultras, Ministerialists, and
Doctrinaires—so vkimsically associated as to excite
a good deal of merriment.

The Duke and Duchess of Cc...emcee, and Prince Emir
Hour:moue Lecimeocao, dined yesterday with the Duchess of
Karr, at her apartments in the Kixo's Palace. at Kensington.

Yesterday the Duchess of GLoucarraa and the Princess Au-
wars visited the Duke and Duchess of CLAIM/Mi.

A sad accident happened on Friday night, at the Canal, which
is cutting through in the neighbourhood of Chatham, by the
falling in of a great quantity of earth, which killed three men,
and broke both the legs of another : the latter has had one leg
amputated, and it lVfeared must• lose the other.

The typhus fever is unfortunately very prevalent in
some parts of Lancashire. During the late Assizes at
the county town, many of the inhabitants died of this
dangerous disorder.
A letter from Rio Janeiro, dated Nov. 18, 1820,
states, that the public mind was much agitated in that
place. The Revolution in Portugal had prepared the
way for something of the kind. The letter adds—
" Here the volcano is ready to burst ; and, from the'
best information that I can get, Brazil will be free'
from the present despotic Government before the year
,ends. The soldiers have refused tq salute the KING,
and the lives of the Ministry have been threatened.
It is expected that it will not commence here, but
about Pernambuco or Bahia. The mine is prepared,
and there wants nothing but a spark to the train."
TIM HERMIT IN LONDON.—It has been justly ob-
served that since the appearance of our old friends, the Specta-
tor, Tatler, &c. a very great change has taken place in our na.; I
tional manners ; a new harvest of follies has sprung up exceed-
lag
in luxuriance by many degrees the more sober fopperies of
our ancestors, and calling loudly for the animadversions of a
Public Censor. This office it must be acknowledged has been
executed in a masterly manner, by the Hermit in London, who
' stiU very properly maintains his character of an incognito. He
has drawn aside the veil which fashion and custom throw over
our eyes ; he has subjected to the ordeal of common sense the
extravagancies of high and the absurdities of low life . • he has
exposed all sorts of pretensions, all those petty deceits and con.
trivanees by which people endeavour to impose upon the world
and themselves and to appear what they are not : and his judi-
ciously taken cognizance of all those minor offences against the
comfort and well being of society, for which the laws provide
isc: remedy.
EISCOTIOL—This morning, at nine o'clock, the following
persons, left fur execution at the Lent Assizes for the county of
Surrey, were executed on the top of Horsemonger-lane Jail, viz.
Thomas Meyers and William Jarvis, fur uttering forged Bank of
England notes, and ,kne Sangseell and Jana Lambell, fora daring's
and atrocious burglary at the house of Mrs: Green, on Engle-
field-green. The unfortunate men, on ascending the scaffold-'
were attended by the Sheriff's officers and the Rev. Mr. Mimi.
After having spent a quarter of an lour in earnest prayer, they
were launched into eternity. The crowd collected was imnsense ;
every spot that could command a view 'of the melancholy scene
was occupied. A number of persons having got on a pile of loose
stones laying in the Hay-yard, Sc. George's-fields, owing to the
pressure they gave way, and many persona were much hurt;
two were said to have had their legs broken.
CORN EICII#IIOE, MARI-LANY, Area. rB.—There have been
but few arrivals of any Grain since Monday, yet what Wheat
remained over from that day's supply met very heavy sale this
morning, and Monday's prices could only be obtained for super-
fine samples. We had some Barley fresh in to-clay, from Suf-
folk, the best samples of which were taken off at Monday's
prices ; but there was no demand for the inferior qualities. The
Oat trade continues exceedingly dull, the arrivals being much
larger than the imgazdiate *wand. is Means and Peas there Is
no alteration.
