Majesty will not leave the capital until the 17th or 18t1t.
if his health then permit. The journey will be as secret
as possible. The Cortes will follow the King. It is now
decided that the Report of the State of the Nation will
only be discussed. after the arrival of the Cortes at Seville,
where orders have been given for the accommodation of
I the King, the Ministry, and the Cortes. Twelve hun-
dred troops of the line, and the same number of the Vo-
lunteer Militia, have offered to accompany the Govern-
ment as an escort.
In the Chamber of Peers on the 18th instant, Count
Mole having been heard for, and the Baron de Monta•
lembert and Viscount Degeon against, the proiet of the
law on the veterans, the law was put to the vote, and
adopted -oy 107 votes against 51. The Baron Pannier
proposed an address to the King for a draught of a law
to prevent the crime of decoying soldiery from bong
tried by military tribunals except in case of war. The
Chamber decided by 8S votes against '66 against the mo-
tion. Nothing was done in the Chamber of Deputies on
Tuesday, in conseqnence 61" wham is more rare in that
Assembly than in our House Of Common', a want of the
requisite number of members..• That forenoon the King
gave an audience in his apartment, to the President
of the Bureau of the Chamber of Peers, who presented
tLe project of the law in relation to the veterans, passed
in the last Sitting and to the President of the linreau
of the Chamber of Deputies, who presented the different
projects of laws adopted by the Chamber in its late sit-
tings—The Breatsquadron, which put to sea on the 15th
of February, returned to port on the 11th of March, in a
most wretched plight, from the gales of wind it bad
encountered.—These papers contain the following arti-
cles respecting the successes of the Greeks :

ZATITI4 FEB. 17.—A ship-master from the Continent
has brought news to-night that Aero-Covinthus capitu-
lated on the 6th of February, and that the Turkish gar-
rison, reduced to 1,200 men, extenuated by disease and
famine, are to be transported to Asia Minor. We shall
soon receive mose extensive details of this event. Mean-
time I can annoutap that the Castle of Patras is treat-
ing for its surrender with General Matirocordato. it
is to surrender on the let of April, if it be not by that
time relieved.

Oar last news from Etolia state that Omer Brion%
attacked in his lines by Ballots, who landed from Cefa-
lonia, where they bad taken refuge, is wandering in the
mountains of Agrapha, whence be hopes to reach Janina.
TRIROTZ, Masten 3.—A vessel from Corfu, ten days;
on its passage, brings news that Corinth had capitulated,
but that the garrison had not departed for want of British
vessels to transport them.
News from Missalunghi state that the approaches to
Prevesa hod Arta were in the possession of the Greeks ;
Nihitaf, the terror of the blabometans, had joined
Odysseus, and waited the arrival of the force under
Bozzari to try a coup de main against Larissa, and
possibly Salome& The force of the three chiefs amount
to 55,000 men. The Greeks &reanimated with the great-
est enthusiasm.
ANCONA, Fan. 28.—A ship from Corfu brings the im-
portant news of the surrender of Patras to the Greeks.
after an assault, on the 15th of February. The mash
of the ship asserted, that the news had been brought a
little before his departure by advice sent by express from
Patras to the British Governor of Corfu. The Greeks
bad in this affair 800 killed, and 400 wounded. The
Turkish garrison was put, to the sword. This place is
one of the most important in the Peloponnesus ; it was
under the command ofJussuf Pecha, one of the best Ge-
nerals of the Porte.
Fasicu Fusing, Mance 19.—Five per Cents. opened
at 78f. 25c. •' lowest, 77f. 95c.; and closed at 78f. 15.
Neapolitan Five per Cents., 66[—Exchange on London,
one month, 25E 60c.; three ditto, 25E 40c.

Sprawl papers have been received this forenoon to
the 14th instant. They announce the arrival of a great
number of General and other officers, and the intention
of encamping the troops that are ready, (about 16,000)
the next or following day. The bridge over the Bides-
soa it is expected will be laid across on the Ist of April.
As soon as the Duke D'Angonleme arrived and re-
viewed the troops, the army, it is supposed, will
enter Spain. The Constitutionalists on the Iron-
tiers are hardly making any preparations to oppose the
invasion. The inhabitants are taking their measures in
consequence ; the youths of the National Guard of St. Se.
bsstian, Tolosa, Vittoria, and Bilboa, are preparing to
follow the Constitutional Troops, while the principal ca-
pitalists have settled their affairs, and are prepared to
set out for Coronae, with their families, so that com-
merce will be as active in that port as it was in 1809,
1811, and 1814. The number of young men who leave
Gilboa for the army is 300, almost all belonriog to the
principal commercial houses : united with those of Vitto-
ria, &c. they may form a battalion of 7 or 800 chosen
men. The corps of conscripts, animated with extraordi-
nary enthusiasm, are marching in all directions.
The following is the only article in these papers rela.
Bee to Madrid:—
' An English courier, who left Madrid on the 9th, in the
evening, has just arrived with despatches for London. By
this way, we learn for certain that the King, the Cones,
and the Government, were not to quit Madrid till the 17th
or 1811; and Sir W. A'Coart and his lady would follow
the Government. The Cortes havioa• resolved that the
reading of the report of the ancient &Holsters an the state
of the Peninsula, which was to take place immediately, shall
be adjourned.

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Con•
stantinople, dated Feb. 10:
" Lord Strangford bad a conference at the Porte on
the 30th ultimo. Viscount Beaureipaire, French Charge
d'Affaires is arrived. The smaller vessels of the Turkish
fleet are preparing for sea."

Frankfort paperi received this morning, contain ad-
vices from ConstentiOople, which state the conference
'of Lord Strangford, on the 30th of January, with the
Reis Effendi, as mentioned above ; and the visit on the
2d of February to the High Admiral. On both these
occasions be was received with great honours. An ar-
ticle from Constantinople, dated Feb.lo, states the occa-
sion of the Turkish armament in the following terms:—
Our situation has become more critical. Scarcely II
Lord Strangford presented his note to the Reis Effendi,
when the Porte ordered en increase of its armament by sea
and land.
The Janissaries again begin to murmur, which makes it
feared they will break out into fresh excesses, and it seems
certain they have some enterprise in view.
To-morrow Lord Strangford will have his solemn audience
of the Sultan. A few days after there will be a great Divan,
to which the Cleans and Chiefs of the Janissaries will be
admitted, and where the answer to be made to the proposi-
tions of the English Ambassador will be discussed. Mean-
time Lord Stringford has a declaration translated into
Greek, which will be printed and distributed in the revolted
countries ; It states that they are not to expect any assist-
ance from the Christian power. The armaments are there-
fore supposed to be ezclustireir intended against the Great,
