aid the latter of 18. Independent of this body,
vi•leb boa particular functions prescribed no it, Sicily
will be governed by a resident Lleotenaut, or Viceroy,'
with *Council of State. A similar Council is appointed
M reside at 'Kitties, which will be presided by the King,
settee Duke of Calabria in his absence, and in the *h-
ence of both by a Minister of the King's appointing.
The two Comities will be charged to pronounce their

;isles, upon the Budget, the abolition of the national
debt, and upon all matters relating to the sale or re-
moval of patrimonial and public property. The Members
oldie Cosisellea are under the nomination of the King.
• Each province will have a separate Council for tbe ad-
ministration of local matters of state, the Members of
whine; are also to be nominated by the King from
amongst the principal proprietors. 'The Prince of
Goo is appointed the Lieutenant of the King in Sicily.
The Marquess Circello is appointed Foreign Minister,
sod also one of the Prwrisioual Council of State under
the new arrangement, in conjitsietion with Cardinal
Rafe, the Prince of Cato, the Duke of Goaltieri, and the
Prince of Scil la. The conscription by land and sea has been
abalighed. His Sicilian Majesty, it is stated, had or-
dered the Apanish squadron, which was in the Bay of
N3ples, to depart without delay ; and, further, prohi-
bited it from anchoring in any of the ports of his king-
doss. Madrid papers to the Stli instant had reached
Paris. The counter revolutionary conspirators, the Cu-
rate Zaladuelde and the Advocate Lazariaga, were exe-
cuted on the 4th inst.; at Vittoria, pursuant to their sen-
tence. Os the 6th inst. a detachment of the Etnpecina-
acistroops fell in with a party of 3lerino's followers,
malt* et 72 cavalry, and dispersed them, with the
Jo« dB killed. 5 wounded, and 7 made prisoners, and
Yet herseskilled or taken. The Cortes had passed a
aatherising the tiovernment to equip five sail of the
fine, (oar frigates, two brigs, and four galliots, their
crenate consist of 3,5410 men. Several financial projects
rectiotted to occupy the attention of the Cortes. The
Mow had sanctioned their decree relative to the pay•
meat of the arrears of the interest of the debt to Hol-
land. A copy of the decree of the Court of Justice at
Valencia, in the case of lieneral Elio, is given in these
papers. Ile is found guilty of having co-operated in the
proceedings which led to the destruction of the consti-
tutional system io and is sentenced to be degraded
mid strangled. This sentence was pronounced on the
ib ult. The discussions on the Budget are continued
with much warmth in the French Chamber of Deputies,
particularly on those parts of the expenditure employed
in restraints on public liberty. In the sitting of the IJth
hi. Beansejour proposed the suppression of the dramatic
censorship, as an useless expense, and an office heat per-
formed by the public. 31. Benj. Constant also opposed
tbevote for the expense of insertions in the journals,
through which mode he contended that Ministers and
their subordinate agents, at the national expense, issued
rilumnious aspersions against the Members opposed to
them in polities. Both motions were lost.
The accounts in these papers relative to Turkey are
still obscure and contradictory. The Arretrian 06serrer
of the 3.1 inst, confirms the previous accounts of the pil-
lage and destruction of the lireek churches at Constao-
tiasple, and of the renewal of the prosecutions and ern-
ehies indicted on the Oreek inhabitants. As it appears
however, that several of the perpetrators of these atro-
cities were promptly apprehended and executed, it may
he doubted whether the measure in whist) they originat-
ed war sanctioned by the Turkish Uovernment. The
itnntedi ate cause of the late outrages against Christianity
is believe.' to have been the victory obtained by the
Ilvdriots over a Turkish sqoadron, which terminated in
the c ii.t.ire of .;‘) t easels laden with corn for the Ottoman
artily. It is reported that, after this 41."44v the IIY-
&lots barrel the Dardanelles n lilt a fleet of fifty-six sail
and faittell possession of one of the castles. The Ira-
Oral dr3lll of .11i Paella seems to be generally believed,
and his treasures are reported to hare fallen into the
hands of the Greeks. The destruction of the Turkish
army in t seems to be confirmed, and a Senate is
s!at, d to have been established at Joannina and Soli
(the capital of the Suliotes), who have assumed the ad-
ministration of the country. On the other hand a letter
from the frontier states, that it was announced at Folks-
chin' that the Oreek army hail been siirprised and de-
stroyed by the Turks on the 13th of May.

In!ellicence of a very important nature ha•, it i.
suited, been received at the hotel of the ltlissian em-
bassy. The Emperors of Russia and Austria, inditr-
rant at the outrages which have been perpetrated at
Constantinople, in the it nominitms death of the
tireek Patriarch and other teas of that church, to-
gether with the cruelties committed against the tin-
fortunate and unresisting Credo, have, it is said, de-
termined to insist upon such reparation from the Turk-
ish tiovernment as the case st ill admit, and on some
assurance or pledge, as regards the future, that siuti-
Lir excesses shall not be repeated. It is said Russia
will demand to become the protector of the otlo r Week
Fro, hires, as she is already of Wallachia and
and that an immedia'e cessation of hostilities be-
Item the Gr;.eks and the Turks is to he required, and
%c.nipact formed bett•ren them, which, while it shall
arrive the allegiance of the former, shall protect
thew against outrage and inas••aere. Another opinion
t', that the cessittiof Willlrchia and 31ohlatia sill be
insisted WI either to Russia or to Austria, or to those
potters in conjunction, in order to afford an asylum to
thuse Greeks ,:cline to live any longer under the
Turkish laws. Russia has an army of 1110.000 men
on the frontiers of Turkey, which could be powerfully
re•iniorced by the Austrians ; and weakened as Turkey
Is by the efforts to suppress the Greek insurrection,
&be has no alternative but submission, or a foreign
invasion, to which there would exist no chance of re-
sistance. Should this momentous contest actually
take place, the eves of all Europe will be anxiously
bred on the result.

A long article in the Hamburgh papers, exhibits an
embarrassing contest for power between the Crown and
the Diet of Norway. if the representation contained
imitate journals be correct, a party in the Diet appears
to have meditated a decided and alarming attack upon
the royal prerogative of proroguing that assembly ; and
is hare proposed to itself the example of oar " Lang
Parliament," by supporting a resolution to continue the
session in defiance of his Majesty's commands, and to
address a proclamation to the Norwegian people, just'.

At present there is a rumour very generally current
that the Chancellor of the Exchequer intends to abandon
