PARIS, Nov. ia. •
We have just r'scsived ftom our correspondent at
Vienna the following letter, dated Nov. 2:

It ii asserted that Prince Felix of Schwartzenberg,
who is gene to Lisbon, is the bearer net only of the
acceptance of the Regency of Portugal by the Infant
'Don Miguel, but also of the proclamation to the Por-
'iogoese,Composed and entirely scritthi It his Royal
Highue.s himself. The Psince, in the ,most urgsttit
manner., calls en the Portuguese nation to be united;
sod the whole document clearly proves. that the name
.of his Rigid Highness has been improperlyWied during
t,
the tiOubles,. and that hit Highness has rechained the
mast laithtul 'subject of his august brother. It appears
that the Prince intends to wait here, for the effect which
this proclamation will produce, for nothing is yet de-
cided respecting his journey."

" havereeteivrd news from Corfu of the 12th,
15th, and 18th of October, and from the camp at Vos-
tizza,of the 50th September and 3d of October. I re-
ceive the official con6i minion of the account of the
Greek fleet havirg burnt in the gulf of Lepanto six
Turkish brigs, and taken three Austrian transports.
"General Church published on the 22d of Sept. a
bulletin to thank the corps of General Coliopoulo for
the victory which he gained. at Kaflari over the Turks,
who lost 700 men, 16 officers of infantry, two officers
of engineers, and three standards.
" On the Ta of October, thele arrived at the camp of
Vostizza the commander of the Philomel brig, with
dispatches from Admiral Codrington, addressed to
General Church and Lard Cochrane, to acquaint them,
that under the present circumstances he was obliged to
hinder the Greek expedition which was preparing
against Albania.
" The Serasiier is at Z-itoani ; the Albanian troops,

with threats, demand their arrears of pay, amounting
to five millions of Turkish piasters. In order to procure
money, the inh4bitants are put into prison, without dis-
tincion of age or rank:
" Count John Capo d'lstrias was expected in Greece
with the greatest impatience. The Journals have re-
ported that his arrival had been delayed because his
presence in Europe was advantageous to the Greek
cause.

The Chiefs have approved of this delay; but the
people continually exclaim, Where is our Governor?
We demand our Governor ! We will not acknowledge
any other authority.' The Government had just re-
ceived the count's letter in reply to his nomination.
ICYNARD."

In the letter of Count Capo d'lstrias, which M.
Bynard guarantees as authentic, and which is dated
Loadou, the 26th of August, the Count says, that he
had recei►ed, just as he was lea►ing St. Petersburgh,
the decrees of the Greek Government placing him at
the bead of affairs, and authorising him to contract a
loan. He expresses bis sense of the honour they have
done him, and his determination to exert himself to the
utmost. Being informed of the fate of Athens, and the
pecuniary distress of Greece, he had sent to his brother
the remains of his moderate fortune, and desired him,
if a loan should be contracted in the lonian Islands, to.
'take part in it, or to place in the hands Of the Pro►i-
sional Government the of 2,0001. sterling, Which be

RESEARCHES IN EGYPT..
The approaching independence of Egypt—the eba:
ratter of the Pacha his patronage of the real its.
provements of the age— and his speculative, design:lo
regenerate the country which may be' considered the
parent of civilisation; these circumstances, and • the
increasing attention lately awakened to the subject, by
French and English scavams, have induced the publleae
lion of a series of art Iles on the present amirnint of
Egyptian Re-earehes ;
A more wonderful country than Egypt nevet courted .
the attention of the traveller. Every step taken among
lit: pyramidal mounds, its elaborately sculptured courts,
its magnificent peristyles, and gigantic colonnades--
every glimpse of the series of mighty ruins which be-
stride the valley of the Nile
.from Meroc to the Delta,
increase our admiration of the extraordinary people
who raised.tbem. It is as if we were looking on the
deserted cities of the primitive giants--giantschebuild-
ers certainly wt re, in mind, in energy, and ambition.
On all sides we see the pictured memorials;of,eatraor-
dinary national vicissitudes, the history of which,,if the
hieroglyphical veil that covers them were lifted, would
only be second, in importance and interest, to the He-
brew Scriptures. The eye, on all sides, falls on the
evidences of inordinate wealth and prosperity, succeed-
d (according to the prophetic curse). by poverty, de►
gradation, and desolation. The iron " arm of Phmaoh •

over Egypt. Amu* No (Amenophis or Memnon). has
been " rent asunder." 'I he waters have " failed from
the sea ;" and the " river" (connecting the Nile with
the Red Sea) has been " dried up." The heart of
Egypt (the national emblem) has "failed in the midst"
of it; " fire has been set in Zoan" (Tank), the seat
of the solar Are worship ; the " day ' (the solar orb)
has been " eclipsed at Tehaphenes (Heliopoli‘);
cloud has covered it ;" and the " yokes (of Apis) have
been broken." The " multitude has been cut off from
No (Diospolis);" and judgments (it was there/he forty
judges of Egypt assembled) have been executed there.
Pathros (the Thebaid) has been " made detiate,",ind
Noph (Memphis) has had distresses (nriethe paraded
distresses of her periodical lamentations for the dead)
daily." The late discoveries of the Phonetic system set m
to connect the present day with the infancy of the world.
The vast interval appears annihilated, as if by, magic,
'and we stand in the presence of Egypt's"wire and an-
dent kings." We behold the sculptures superiritenVal

witness their exploits; we behold their crests, &Sites
