A report is spread, that the news of the capitulation
of the Acropolis has arrived. It is said to have taken
place on the 2d of this month. The Greeks who com-
posed the garrison have obtained permission to'return
to their own homes, and the Philhellenes, among whom
was Colonel Fabvier, were authorised to go to what-
ever place they should think fit.

MADRID, JUNE 25.
Public attention has been for some days absoilszd by
the difference that has just arisen between the Spanish
Government and the Court of Rome, on the nomination
of B:s'itops for the new States in America. His Calm.
tic Majest►, considering this nomination as a breach of
the Concordat, and as an infraction of his rights of so-
vereignty, has caused orders to be given at the frontiers
not to receive the new Papal Nuncio, Monsignor
Ti-
beri, who was coming to succeed Cardinal Giustiniani,
who left us a month ago. Monsignor Tiberi, on arriving
at Irun, on the 17th, found there a letter from the prin-
cipal Secretary of State, desiring him not to proceed on
his journey ; and on the intimations given him by the
Captain-General. he has, in tact, returned to France.
The Councils of Castile and of the Indies, which were
summoned to give their opinions on this delicate affair,
and on a letter which his Holiness has written to the
King, to explain his conduct, has terminated its deli.
beration, the result of which has been transmitted to his
Majesty. It seems that the Council of State will es 0

FROM THE ETOILE, DATED SUNDAY, JULY 1.
TOULON, Java 23.
The schooner La Totche, which Wed on the 6th
inst. three days before the division under Commodore
Collet, arrived at Algiers on the 11th. The Captain
immediately went on shore, and delivered the dispatches
of which he was the bearer to M. Duval, our Consal-
General. The latter, under the pretext of returning
Captain Taurin visit, went on board the schooner, and
thus escaped from the bad treatment which he endured.
The Dey, who, it is affirmed, did not imagine that M.
Duval had found means to transmit h s complaints to
his Majesty, was perfectly at his ease, indulging the
pleasure of revenge, and left M. buval at libel ty to go
on board La Torche ; but when he found that he did
not return, and that the schooner had anchored beyond
the reach of the batteries, he repented of his confi-
dence, and foamed with rage; when a few days after-
wards Captain Collet cage and placed his squadron
off the port, so that *nOtlsing ecisktgo otr. M. Duval,
who went on board the ComModore's vessel, is said to
have left at Algiers his two daughters and his son-in-
law: it is supposed they have placed themselves
under the protection of the agent of some other
European Rover. It is added, that the Dey replied
with some degree of arrogance to the first communica-
tion made to him by M. Collet, and that he even ex-
pressed his regret at not having detained the Consul as
a hostage. It is feitunate and honourable for the French
marine, that this expedition was prepared with much
celerity, and its object so carefully cianeealed, that the
Dey could not be informed of the intentions of our Go-
vernment, and that not a single corsair had left the port,
to escape the French squadron.
The Torche left Algiers again on the 16th, and at rived
here this evening with tt is good news, which was isome-
diately sent by express to Paris.
To-day the Hecla corvette, Captain Gourdon, arrived
here from Alexandria, which it left on the 18th. It has
On board M. Droutti, the French Consul-General.
The last accounts from Smyrna, of the 18th of May,
say that M. Schmolt, our Consul-General, is dangerously
ill.—Gazeite de Lyons.
The latest accounts from Greece, received by way of
Italy, confirm she news of the Austria* Observe, of the
arrival of Lord Cochrane and Captain Hastings, with
the steamboat, on the west coast of the Mortra. The
reports circulated at Lyndon seem, therefore, to be
unfounded.
FROM THE QUOTIDIENNE 01 SATURDAY.
POMPEII.
On the sth of Jane. the King and Q men of Naples,
with the whole of their family, went to visit Pompeii.
To.e excavation that was made in pre .e .ce of these
august personages was one of the most successful ever
remembered, on account of the abundance and quality
of the objects discovered. The spot choss.n for the
operation was a mansion, in which there had previously
been discovered a very beautiful fountain .n Mosaics
bordered with shell work, and nearly sisnil-r to another
that had been discovered in a contiguous hcu e. From
the midst of the basin rose a small column of marble,
on which was placed a genius of bronze, holdiag in his
left hand a bi,d, with its wings expanded, fiorn the
beak of which the water issued, and then fell back into
the basin. A theatrical mask, also of marble, imbedded
in the bottom of the niche, poured forthin its turn
another stream of water. Before one of the feet of the
o intain was a little bronze statue, in a sitting.postursk
with a basket in the left hand, and a cap on us bead.
It apparently represented a Phi ygian Shephes d, clothed
in a short tunic, but had evidently ao connection with
the spot where it was found. On the marble pedestal
Vice was a beautiful piece of sculpture, representing a
child, half-naked, lying asleep, grasping in one of its
hinds a little basket; and on one side of it a vase over-
turned; its clothes were at a very peculiar make. Before
the other foot of the fountain was a kind of marble
Caryatides. The partitions were ornamented with
very elegant paintings, which appear, to judge
from the symbolical accessaries, to represent the
birth of Bacchus. •In the Hall was a stove, with its
trivet, of rusty iron, surmounted by some fragments
of bronze vases. In the two Chambers, situate on
the sides of the H 31, was discovered a great number
of other interesting objects, the principal of which
were two strong bracelets of gold, a small silver coin, a
number of elegant bronze vases, and a vety h.autiful
candelabrum of the same material. The King gave
orders on the spot, that the fountain should to restored
to the same state in which it had been found ; that the
whole of the shell-work, which had been detached from
the border, and had fallen down among the rubbish,
should be replaced; that the bronze statues, with which
it was ornamented, should be transported to the Royal
flourbonMuseum,and that their place should be supplied
by casts of baked earth, and that the partitions on which
were the paintings, as well as the fountain, e ould be
defended by a roof, to save them from the chance
of damage.
