ROME, Mar 1.

Father Ventura, Professor of Canon Law, and one of the prim.
cipal writers In the Giornale Beetniasties, expressed an opinion in
an article in that Journal, " That an electorie monarchy was the
worst of all forms of Government"— In consequence of an order
which he has received from superior authority, be has inserted a
recantation of this opinion in the last number of that Journal ; and
we hear that the same authority has given permission to Monsignore
Marchelli to read in the Academia Reelesiestiees an essay against this
opinion of Father Ventura.

By the arlival of the Childe Harold from Bengal,
letters and papers have been received from that place to the 6th of
January, from Madras to the 24th of that month, and from St. He-
lena to the 9th of March. It will be seen from a letter which we
subjoin, that on the 23d of January no news had reached Madras
of the ratification of the Burmese treaty. Some of these, letters
repeat the report of Bhurtpore having fallen, and add, that the
usurper, Doormat SAUL, who commands in the fortress, had, in
his rage, at the first appearance of the besieging force, put to
death the rightful heir to the Sovereignty, whom be held captive.
If this be true, and it bears on the face of it great probability, we
should not be surprised to learn that the young Rajah's death bad
been avenged by some of his friends, and that the assassination of
DOOIL/IK Sam. had preceded the surrender of the fortress. The
following is the extract from a ptivate letter to which we have
alluded: . :amass, Jan. 23,_1826.

" Within this week we have received intelligence from Rangoon.
stating that a peace with the Burmese had been concluded, but it
seems to want, at yet, official confirmation—there is little doubt,
however, of the fact, although this -Government are still embarking
troops for Rangoon. Unexpected, unconfirmed, and recent, u this
news is, yet the Exchange on London already feels the effect, and
Company's Paper has improved 3 and 4 per Cent.
" The Wellington has not yet arrived. She appears to have gone
south from Pundicherry instead of north, being reported at Tran-
quebar."

We have received the French PApers of Sunday and
Monday. They contain a report that the gallant CANARIS has
perished before Missolonghl, after having set ire to a Turkish
frigate. The fall of bliuolonghl was known at Constantinople ea
the 29th of April, and the joy of the Barbarians on that occasion dis-
played itself in a characteristic manner. The Janissaries, says
the Journal du %limas, threw Into the Hotels of the Russian Con-
sulate, some of the ears and heads of Greeks taken from the corpses
found, where their city stood, and sent by lutanist as proofs and
trophies of Ms victory. M. Mnrmacite himself was reported to
have been wounded, and the Janissariea to have cried, " Down
with the Nimes redid " (the European discipline), and to have
threatened the Stzvax with a positive rebellion If be persisted In
introducing innovations in the military system.
The :toile, however. denies the report that M. Mttttt►ccv had
been wounded. It is thought that the intoxication of success in
Greece may lead the Pore to reject the ultimatum, in which ease
there is little doubt that the Russians will immediately ocapy the
principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia. The following are extract's

Letters from Alexandria, in Egypt, say, that the financial embar-

He has assumed himself the command of the fortress of Cairo, and
the garrison, consisting of Turks, has been changed for one com-
posed of Arabs. The Turks have received orders either to enter
the regular troops, or leave the country.
It is false that there bas been any tumult at Constantinople; it
Is false that the &Him Deputies have been beheaded, and that the
