The critical situation of Portugal and our relations
with Spain seems to have had some effect on the eva-
cuation of Cadiz, and the orders are going to be modi
fled. According to accounts from the above city of
the sth inst. the convoy is to leave on the Bth or 10th
July, and will only bring back to France a regiment of
infantry, one of cavalry, and two companies of artillery,
amaunting in the whole to 3,000 men. It is affirmed that
the Lieutenant-General commanding at Cadiz has re-
ceived orders to augment the garrison to 9,000 men,
and only to send back the sick. A company of artillery
in garrison at Perpignan, which was to retire into the
interior, has received counter orders—tbe same has
taken place at Bayonne.

The Flanders Mail has brought us Brussels Papers
of yesterday's date, and the Algemeine Zeitung, to the

stated under the head of Frankfort, that the province
of Bosnia had revolted against the Sovereignty of the
Porte, and the insurgents having seized on the strong
citadel of Sarajewo had imprisoned the VIZIER, and
declared for an independent Government. Should this
information prove correct, what with the Russian army
on its victorious march in the interior of fur key, and
the revolt of the Bosnians, the GRAND SRIGNOR will
will find employment for all his resources.

" Puros, June 5, 1828.

" I have been informed that the Pach.r of Smyrna is
afraid that the ships of war under my command may
come and alarm his city under a foreign flag. I lose no
time in informing you, Sir, that my august master does
not desire to extend the evils of war, or permit any
harm to be done to the peaceable inhabitants of the Ot-
toman towns and villages; that his Majesty does not
even desire to impede the commerce of neutral Powers,
as far as blockades recognised by treaties do not
prevent it; and that consequently the Pacha h,ss nothing
to fear from such a visit from vie ships *of war under
my command.
" What could we do among you ? Burn or plunder
and injure the European population of Smyrna, without
object, and without any real advantage to our cause or
that of our allies.

" I therefore request and authorise you, Sir, to dispel
any alarms that may be entertained on this subject.
" L. DE HEY DEN."

To this letter is annexed the copy of a circular, from
the Russian Government to its representatives at the
Coarts of the maritime Powers of Europe, dated 29th 1
April, which states. that Count Heyden has orders to
respect on all occasions the rights of neutral Powers,
according to the Conventions concluded between Russia
and Great lii itaia.

It is affirmed that Count Capo &Istria will be obliged
to have recourse to more energetic measures to govern
the Greek nation, especially since the discovery of the
conspiracy of Colocorroni, who has been arrested, with
twenty-five of his accomplices The President, while
he was at Poros, gave a formal audience to the Greek
Bishops sent by the Sultan to propose an amnesty, and
dismissed them with an admonition to leave the Greek
territory, because their addresser, in which they call
upon the people to return to their obedience to the
Porte, cannot be tolerated by the Greek Government.

The General commanding in Sclavonia, in a letter
dated the 4th of this month, says—" That Bosnia is in
full revolt against the Porte : the ringleaders have seized
on the citadel Sarajewo—have ariested and imprisoned
the Vizier, intercepted the Courier who was to carry the
news to Constantinople, and, in concert with one.Haisan
Pechi, who formerly excited troubles in the country,
have a kind of independent Government.
" This event, which is in itself unf Itunate, may have
a bad effect on the tranquillity of Servia, for Abdurab-
man Facha, Vizier of Bosnia, and formerly Governor of
Salonichi, and afterwards of Belgrade, was the man
whom the Servians most dreaded.

Lord Amherst and his family arrived at Portsmouth
on Tuesday from India. On his voyage, his Lordship
landed at the Cape of Good Hope, where he met Lord
William Bentinck, his successor in the Chief Govern-
ment of India. The Noble Earl's departure from Cal-
cutta is thus noticed in the Calcutta John Boll:
CALCUTTA, MARCH 5.1125.
"This morning the Right Hon. Earl Amherst em-
barked at Chadpaul Ghaut, on board his Majeqy's
yacht Herald, for England. The Countess and Lady
Sarah, whose healtt., we ate happy to say, is improving„
preceded his Lordship in their carriage. The road's
from Government House was lined with the 59th RegiH
ment ot Foot, the Body Guard and Sepoys forming al
'beet, through which his Lordship walked, attended by
Sir C. Grey, Sir E. Ryan, the Lord Bishop, the Hos.
W. B. Bayley, his Lord.hip's Staff, the several Secre•
taries, and a number cf other Gentlemen.
11 Exactly at seven o'cliick his Lordship left Govern-
ment House ; and on arriving at the Ghaur, said a few
words to those around him, expressive, we believe—for
we wete not near enough to near the precise words—
of his regret at circumstances attending his departure,
but acknowledging the kind attention be had ever re-
ceived from the society he was leaving. He embarked
on board the State barge at twelve minutes past seven,
for the yacht, whose yards were manned, as well as the
yards ot the different Government vessels. At twenty
minutes past seven his Lordship reached the yacht, and
immediately afterwards the Hon. Company's steamer
Enterprise, Capt. Johnston, R.N. lashed her alongside.
Soon after passing the fort a royal salute was fired, and
before half past eight o'clock the two vessels were out
of sight of the town. The Enterprise will tow the yacht
down to the Trades, returning to Trincomalee or Ma-
dras for coals, on her way back to Bengal. A great
number of pet sons were assembled on the Esplanade
and Ghaut, and the boats on the river rendered the
scene highly interesting."

taking, and taxes on the drained lands will be remitted
during twenty-Fee years.
WORTNINO.—This place has recently assumed itsl
wonted summer gaiety, and is filling very fast with
families of rank and distinction. Most of the large
houses ate already occupied, and those on a smaller
scale, as well as the best lodgings, are in hourly requi-
sition, and if we may judge from present appearances,
a brilliant season may be anticipated. The Hotels are
participating in the influx of arrivals, and the libraries
and public promenades are alternately giving anima.
tion to the scene. With respect to the town itself, many
improvements have been made, and a variety of new
erections increase the degree 01 attraction to which it
has for many years maintained a decided claim ; and its
vicinity abounds with everything that constitutes the
picturesque and beautiful in lanstape and scenery.
