not dishonourable onl3i; but oppoillo all the truest
interests of the civilized European kinplems.
Secondly,—The sovereignty -Of Greece cannot be too
independent. The notion of .making her still. tributary
to the barbarian, whose thraldom she has broken down,
'ls a pettifogging shuffle, and evasion of a great duty, to
reconcile some honourable compunctions which we can-
not but entertain when we contemplate Greece, with the
perfidious policy and sinister manoeuvres of other cabinets.
If Greece is to pay any tribute, it must be merely nominal:
her sovereignty—to preserve the balance between the
States—must be superior to controul.

Besides the intelligence from Mexico, which will be
found elsewhere in this sheet, we have to-day other
important information regarding the expedition fitting
out at the Havannah, for the invasion of the former
country. The Skylark sailed from Vera Crux on the
120th June, and from the Havannah on the 2d July. By
'this ship papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee House ; and in a Vera Crux
print, of the 19th June, we have the following informa-
tion on this subject :—" By the American brig Behan,
which arrived here last night at eleven o'clock, from
Cayo Hevelo, positive news has been received that on
the 25th, an expedition of 4,000 troops—escorted by
two ships of the line, three frigates, and three brigs, will
sail for the coast of Yucatan. The Cox ISS Alt Ir Gent-
RAL has communicated this information by express' to

the Government, and has invited all the opulent of this
city, by a circular letter, to contribute to the defence of
the Republic, until the Government take measures with
subscriptions, which will be repaid out of the first receipts
of the Custom House, or will be received in lieu of pay-
ments of duties."—Together with this news, we have an
extract of a private letter, also received at the North and
South American Coffee House, dated at the Havannah
on the 2d July, setting forth that " the expedition, com-
prising one line of battle ship, two of sixty guns, two of
forty-four guns, and several smaller vessels, with trans-
ports and six thousand troops, shall sail on the 7th inst.
for the coast of Mexico." The first effect of this intelli-
gence here is the fall of Mexican Stock, which went
down this morning.

Her Majesty, the Queen of PORTUGAL, came to
town on Monday last, when many of the emigrants had
the honour of kissing her hand, and she returned to
Laleham in the evening.

On the birth-day of the Infanta ISABELLA MsniA,
this unfortunate Princess met with a cruel disappoint-
ment. She passed the day at Cintra, because Don
MIGUEL declared there should be no fife in her honour.
The Infanta returned in the evening, and at the moment
of entering her chamber, a negress,who had been her atten-
dant and confidante, and who has accompanied her many
years,ralways displaying the most devoted attention, was II
arrested under the eyes of her Royal Mistress, and treated
with a barbarous cruelty bypersons who had been sentby
DonM tc vat. She was then dragged to prison in the con-
vnte for reformed prostitutes. The Marquis d'AsnaNTES
is charged to visit this negro woman twice a day, and to
interrogate her rigidly as to the conversation of her mis-
tress. Thus has this unfortunate Princess lost her only
remaining friend.

Some accounts from America state, that General JACK-
SON has refused to admit Mr. TORLADES, as the Charge
d'Affaires from Doi MIGUEL, in spite of some kind of
mediation interposed by the British Minister in favour of
Don Ml° uEL's emissary. Jonathan seems at all events
not to consider those who put down the liberties of na-
tions as his best friends. Any disposition on the part
of America in favour of the Portuguese patriots may be
of the greatest advantage to support Terceira, as provi-
sions and ammunition may very easily be forwarded
from the American ports.

The Algemeine Zeitung of the 22d instant, received
this day, gives us the decree which we mentioned yester-
day, for the Convocation of the Greek National Assem-
bly.—lt is to the following effect :
