Mr. SCARLETT'S misnamed Poor Relief Bill was
lad night recommitted, and ordered to be printed.
The Report will be Lilco into consideration this day
week. We are happy to see that Mr. CALCRAPT has
declared his intention of taking the sense of the House
upon the principle of the Bill on that occasion.
The London Wharfs Bill passed the House. A
Clause proposed by Mr. Hums for preserving to the
Public all existing rights of way was negatived, on
a division, by a majority of .52 to 7.
The House afterwards went into a Committee of
Supply, and a long conversation took place on the
Item for granting £197,500 for the Barrack Depart-
ment. To this Colonel Davies moved an Amend-
ment to reduce the Vote to 4:59,500, but it was re-
jected, on a division of .53 to 29.

The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday arrived
at a late hour this forenoon.
They contain a great deal of interesting and im-
portant intelligence respecting the progress of the
Greek Insurrection, which we hasten to extract.
CORFU, APRIL 23.

It was in consequence of a like insult to those which
caused at Rome the revolt against the Tarquins, at
London that of Wat Tyler, that the insurrection of
the Isle of Candia broke ont. The criminal Aga
was killed by the offended father, and this vengeance
became the signal for the massacre of ail the Mus-
snlasans. The Turks were chased from every part
tithe island, and the Greeks are masters of all the
strong places.
In the Morea the signal of insurrection was giien
by the Mainotes, reinforced, unknown to the Turkish
Government, by a great number of Greeks from
Etolia and from other countries; who have assembled
upon this point during the winter; they burst forth
25,000 strong. The greater part of the Officers have
served in the'troops of the other nations of Europe.
The Chiefs are Colocotrone, Chrysospathe, Andrus°,
Ulysses, and Perron, Prince of Mania.

The first. care of the Provisional Government was,
to distribute through all the towns of the Peninsula
a Proclamation addressed to the Turks, by which
they guaranteed to them the safety of their persons
and their properties, the liberty of their religion; and
equality of civil rights. But the Mussultuans only
replied to this generous act by the massacre of the
Christian women, children, and old men. The Greeks
had then recourse to reprisals.

A party of troops from Mania directed themselves
on the isthmus of Corinth, to seize on that important
point; but they found it already occupied by a pa-
triot Monk, named Gregorius, who traver,tng the
country, Cross in hand, had assembled, by a joint
appeal to religion and to patriotism, six thousand
Teen under his command.

A most obstinate engagement took place before the
town of Anapli, of which the Greeks have seized pos-
session. The latter lost 800 men, and the Turks
5,000. An English Colonel who happened to be in
that town, and who was present by chance at the
battle, says that the former displayed a degree of spi-
rit and a tactic which there was little reason to expect.

M Patras a reinforcement of Tusks had come
from Lepanto. It surprised the Greeks for a moment
by its unexpected arrival, but, when they came to
blows, the Turks were completely beaten ; only a
small number escaped the sword, and saved them-
wives in the fortress.

The insurrection spread promptly from the Mores
to the neighbouring provinces, and acquired strength
every day. The inhabitants of Attica, determined to
conquer or die, have sent their women and old men
to the isles of Salamos and Egina. All Etolia and
rhocida are in full insurrection. •

The Armatoli of Acarnania, Agraphia, and South-
ern Thessaly, assembled at Paradisia, where they en-
gaged, by the most solemn oaths, not for a moment
to sheath their swords till they have freed the soil of
their country from the barbarians who have polluted
ft► In consequence of this engagement, they have dis-
tributed themselves among different posts; the greater
number have seized upon the defiles of Pindus.
This important position will favour Ali powerfully,
by weakening the Turkish army cantoned in Epirus;
for, as by the natural sterility of Epirus, and the
failure of the crops last year, they can only procure
subsistence from Thessaly, this army will be soon
famished, and obliged to surrender to the opponents
by whom they have been menaced for some weeks.
The Satiates have already gained some important
advantages over the Turks. Within these few days
they have seized on Vonitza. Every instant they are
joined by new reinforcements from the interior of
Epirus, Acarnania, &c.
The Turks are the more embarrassed in this quarter
on account of the fleet which they have cruizing on
the coasts of Epirus, but which is rendered altogether
useless to them. The fear that the Greek sailors, who
compose the whole of their crews, may seize on these
vessels and deliver them up to their countrymen, has
forced them to keep in the port of Humnitsa, oppo-
site Corfu ; even in that place it is in little safety, for
the vessels of Hydra, Species, and Psara are assem-
bled to dispute its passage.
It is said that an engagement has taken place neat
