APRIL 17.

It is said that the Government has dispatched to-
day an express with orders to Major-General Don J.
Makin el Empecinado, to take under his command
the detachments destined to pursue the robber Me-
rino, and the deluded persons whom he has seduced.
This factious band is surrounded on all sides in the
province of Burgos, from which it cannot escape,
and where these factious men will receive the punish-
ment due to their crimes. The National Militia, in
all the distriCts, have manifested, on this occasion,
the horror they feel at these wicked men, who aim at
destroying the Constitutional System, and think to
make the nation happy by plunging it in all the hor-
rors of civil war.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE
PARIS, APRIL 30. .

I have obtained information, on which you may
implicitly rely, that two Ordinances have this day
received the sign manual, which elevate the Ex-Mi-
nister Abbe Montesquieu, and the Count de Blacas,
to the rank of Dukes. Several military promotions
will take place in consequence of the baptism of the
Duke of Bourdeaux ; but I have not heard the name
of any new Marshal, though Count Rapp has a good

deal of that 'anxious and smirking air which gene-
rally portends an accession of dignity.
A great sensation has been excited to-day by the
King's re-appearance in public after his long seclu-
sion. His Majesty left his palace at about half-past
one in an open carriage, and proceeded amidst the
loudest acclamations of an immense concourse of peo-
ple to the Champ de Mars, where he reviewed all the
troops now in Paris, consisting of at least 20,000 men.
His Majesty appeared in excellent health and spirits,
and went through the fatigue of the review, which
lasted fOur hours, without any sympton of pain or
lassitude. His reception indeed was such as could
not fail to animate and delight him. The Count
d'Artois and the Duke of Angouleme accompanied
him on horseback; and the Duchesses of Angou-
leme and Berri were in his carriage with the infant
Duke of Bourdeaux.
I have very little political news for you : the last
accounts from Italy state, that the King of Naples
arrived at Rome on the Wednesday before Easter
Sunday, and was expected to remain there for a week.
A Decree has been published at Naples, appoint-
ing' four Committees of Censorship and Superia-
tendence over the conduct of Ministers of the
Church, of all.persons connected with the Press, or
with education, whether in public or private schools;
of all persons employed in judicial offices of what-
ever class they may be; and lastly, of all persons em-
ployed in any public Administration, of whatever
nature. This is political jealousy with a vengeance!

Intelligence of some interest relative to the contest
between the Turks and the Greeks in the Noma has
been received from Pail as. We collect the details
from letters direct from that place, and from pas-
sages in the mercantile correspondence both from
Trieste and Leghorn. It appears that a perfect un-
derstanding existed, between the northern and south-
ern provinces of Greece, and that a day was to be
fixed by the Leaders in the north for a general rising
in the Morea against the Turks. Two Messengers,
charged with this important mission, arrived at Pa-
tras in the beginning of the last month ; and the
Leaders of the Greeks had determined, in conse-
quence of the instructions communicated to them,
that the Turks should be attacked on the sth or 6th.
By the treachery, however, of some individuals who
were in the secret, their intention became known to
the Turks, whose force being inadequate to the re-
si,tance of an insurrectionary spirit in the whole po-
pulation, they retired into the citadel and fortified
themselves in that position. Gaining confidence from
the apparent tranquillity of the tcnva, they shortly
afterwards ventured out of their entrenchments, and
committed some acts of aggression against the
houses of those inhabitants who were suspected of
acting a conspicuous part in the designs for the sub-
version of the Turkish power. Among these was the
Palace of the Bishop, which was set on fire and de-
stroyed. These outrages filled the Greeks with in-
dignation : they collected in large numbers, and
making a desperate onset on the Turks, drove them
back with considerable loss into the citadel. In that
situation the town remained when the accounts came
away. The Turkish garrison were cannonading the
town from the citadel ; and as the Greeks were not
in possession of any artillery, there was no prospect
of their being able to make any impression on it be-
fore the arrival of reinforcements to the Turks
should render all further resistance unavailing.

A flail arrived at a late hour this forenoon, with
Brussels Papers to the Ist instant. The following are
extracts:

BRUSSELS, APRIL 29.

It is stated that his Grace the Duke of Wellington
is expected very shortly at Belgium. He is said to
•be entrusted with a very important mission to the
Government of the Netherlands, and that he will
likewise visit the fortresses of the kingdom.

We learn that the French Police has sent to all the
Northern frontiers of the kingdom, the description of
several Piedmontese, with orders to arrest them
wherever they may be found.
The Swiss Journals say, that traces of a plot have
been discovered at the same time in the Isle of Elba,
at Florence, and at Leghorn ; but the arrest of seve-
ral persons has disconcerted the plan. One of the,
conspirators, who was going from Leghorn, on learn-
ing the arrest of his accomplices, killed himself, by
throwing himself from the fourth story.
A journal, speaking of various arrests that have
taken place at Florence, relates with the same cir-
cumstances the suicide of a person of distinction,
which would lead to a belief that the same person is
Meant. The statement is as follows:

" Though the Duke of Tuscany is beloved as well
for his popularity as for the mildness of his govern-
ment, yet symptoms of discontent have shewn them-
selves here, caused partly by the fear lest Austria
should extend its arbitrary power over all Italy, partly
by a desire to see the public welfare confirmed by
Constitutional guarantees. The result has been the
arrest of some persons of inferior note, and of seve-
ral subaltern Officers. The latter have been dismissed
from their regiments, and obliged to quit the terri-
tory Of the Grand Duke. As for the others, they
have been imprisoned, and Count 13aldini, who
was of the number, has killed himself t,y leaping
from the window of his prison. A Priest has also
been arrested Oil man of great merit, who always drew
a numerous auditory when he preached at the Church

of the Holy Cross.• But every idea of a conspiracy
in a country like this is an absurdity r
