SPOKTING INTELLIUENCE.

German papers which have come to hand this morning
contains the following statement from the Uaiversal Ga-
zette of Augsburg, of the 15th of March
" According to accounts from Constantinople, of the
10th February, the piece which Lord Strangford bah
caused to be translated into Greek, to have it printed and
circulated through Greece, is the Circular•Notefrom Ve-
rona, of the 14th December."
An article in the same paper, dated Ancona; Feb.26tb,
gives an account of the Greeks having taken Pains by
storm on the 15th of Feb.; but says the news requires con.
firmation, The Turkish garrison is stated to have been
put to the sword, with Jussuf Paella of Seres, one of the
best Generals of the Porte ; and the loss of the Greeks,
on this occasion, is said to have been SOO killed and 400
wounded.
The Allgemeine Zeitung, of March 15, contains an
article dated Constantinople, February 10, which men-
tions great murmurings that have arisen there among
the Janissaries, in consequence of some of them basing
been ordered to take the field. As to Lord Strangford's
negociatioo, little hope could be entertained, if his com-
mission went to require concessions from the Porte,
'considering the present fermentation among the Ja-1
nissaries. The war with Persia continues, and becomes
very alarming for the Porte. However, it is satisfactory
to them that there is no war to be feared from Russia,
the assurances of Lord Strangford leaving nothing to
be desired..

The New atritB in a private letter from Paris, has
the followinWatement, which fretty forcibly demon-
strates the state of public feeling, in some parts of
France, relative to the Spanish Invasion .
A pretty liberal commotion broke out a Ikw days since
near Macron. Some hundreds of peasants, armed with
scythes and clubs, attacked a detatchment of soldiers who
were passing through the Department on their march to
join the Army of Spain. The soldiers, compelled to act in
their own defence, repulsed the assailants, some of whom
were/leR killed or wounded on the field, while a great
milleher of the rest were made prisoners, and left at the
disposal of the proper authorities."
The accounts, to addition to those we stated yester-
day, which have arrived from Lisbon, are very highly
interesting. On the 6th instant, Seohor Mourn deli-
vered a most animated speech in the Cortes developing
the arts of the French emissaries in stirring op disturb-
ance in the country. Money seems the means on which
they have relied ; sad since corruption cannot be always
traced and exposed, the orator recommends that it shall
be rendered Innozione--that since the soldiers of too
or three regiments may be bribed, a force shall be created
ieaccessible to all the arts of bribery; and therefore
that the whole people shall take op arms, and be formed
into National Guards. Tne appeal to public sentiment,
with which this suggestion was accompanied, drew forth II
the loudest acclamations, and roused the hearers I.
thehighest pitch ot enthusiasm. Before the sitting broke
up, tee Military Commission brought In a decree for orge-
nizing the army of citizens. The latest news is of the 9th
instant, at five In the morning, from Lisbon. To the ex-
tent to which it goes, it seems disastrous to the cause of the
rebels. An express reached Government at eleven o'clock
on the night ef the Bth, stating that a party of insurgents had
been entirely cut to pieces by two battalions of light infan-
try and one of militia, commanded by Colonel Leiter, at Re-
goa. The rebels were in the act of crossing the Douro, and
among them the 9th regiment of cavalry, which suffered
much, 67 privates being killed, besides many wounded and
prisoners. Several persons supposed to be implicated in
theinserreetion, lave been arrested, ender the suspension of
the Habeas Corpus Act; and Generals Barrazin and Son-
Brae, suspected of being agents to the Prime.' Ultra conspl-
retors.sgainst the peace of Europe, were ordered to quit
the Portuguese territory. General Stochler was removed
to Biagio, and the Archbishop of Braga to Busse°. AM.
Souza, isi a member of the rebel Junta at Chaves. One
account states this gentleman to have been the late Minister
in Loudon; but another represents him to be a son of the
Ambassador, and tmys, the father is now resident at Paris.
We understand, from good authority, that Count Le-
garde, the late French Minister in Madrid, is in town,
ineog. and that the e
gosobjct of his visit here is to prevent
French Officers from ng over to the Peninsula.—

The Rio de Janeiro Gazette of the 10th of January,
brought by a vessel arrived at Guernsey, cootsios a de-
cree, in a very bitter style, for the issuing letters of
marque against Portugal.
An Extraordinary Gazette was published last night,
containg.some omitted details of the operations of the ar-
mies i the East Indies, and extending in date from Ja-
nuary,n 1817, to January, 1821. They have long lost all
interest, and present nothing remarkable but the fact
that their communication should have teen so long de-
layed. Instructions have been given for ensiniog greater
regularity in finder.
The Quebec papers announce the death, at that place,
on the 14th ult. Thomas Scott, Esq., paymaster of his
Majesty's 70th regiment, and brother to Sir Walter
Scott. He had been in Canada since the commencement
of the lace American war, serving wills his regiment.
The East India Company's ship Duke of York, arrived
off the Start yesterday ; she sailed from China the '24th
of November, and from St. Helena the sth of February.
'The General Harris was at St. Helena when the Duke of
York sailed thence, and she was expected to follow in a
day or two. The Inglis, outward-bound for Bombay, was
in lat. 49. N. long. 20. 45. W. all well on the 18th of
February.
Eon's.—We are happy to find that the invention of
propelling vessels by steam is likely to prove extensively
advantageous to the manufactures of our country, as we
have reason to believe that the communication between
Great Britain and her Indian possessions, for the trans-
inis•ion of light and valuable articles of British manu-
factures, is on the eve of being accelerated in a manner
not contemplated by the Public. We are warranted in
this statement front the information which we have re-
ceived, that extensive arrangements have been formed,
with the concurrence of Government, for the establish-
ment of steam vessels to convey passengers and light
goods from this country to Grand Cairo ; and that the
Pacha of Egypt has enFagedto have from two to three
hundred camels always in readiness to facilitate the com-
munication from Cairo to Sues, and front Sur, to Cairo,
and that the expense shall not exceed live shillings ster-
ling per hundred weight. Similar arrangements have
been made for the passage from Suez to. Surat, and other
plares.—(Morniag Paper.)
The Bill now passing through the House of Commons,l
in explanation of the General Turnpike Act, enacts that
no rate shall be collected fur horses or carriages employ-
ed in carrying or conieying lime.
Proposals have been published for the formation of an
Institution in Dorset, to encourage the culture of Flax,
and to furnish employment for the poor in its manufac-
ture. Several millions of money are every year paid by
this country to foreigners, whilst our own land, and the
industry of our own people, might be brought into benefi-
cial occupation by the sums so transferred. An acre of
flax, it is said, may be spun into thread for making lace,
so as to yield from 20001. to 3001.

Arnocious BURGLART.—At ten o'clock on Sunday night
a burglary, Which was atte...ded with circumstances as atr..-
eimus as soy heard of in the annals of crime, was perpetrated
in the house of Mr. Proctor, 3, Ely-place, Lambeth. Mr.
Proctor was spending the evening at the house of a friend in
the neighbourhood, and the only persons at home were Mrs.
Proctor, who had recently recovered from her accoliche-

neighbouring chemist's for some medicine. The servant en
going out slammed the door to, said the moment after she
was gone, Mrs. Proctor heard the door being opened with a
key, she took no notice, thinking the girl had returned for
something; presently a tall fellow, with his hat slouched
over his eyes, entered the room in which she was sitting,and
demanded her money. She was dreadfully alarmed atlas
appearance, and, rising from her chair, male to the wisdom
to give the alarm; upon which the robber swore, unless she
obeyed his demand quietly, tie would destroy herinbaL that
lay reposing on a couch by the side of the chair where she
was sitting. This threat so intimidated her, that she was
almost bereaved of her senses. The [Mho thee approached
her, and is a deliberate manner placed her ill a chair, took
her apron off and tied it over her mouth to prevent her call-
ing out, he then took a small cord from his pocket, and tied
her bands behind her, and also fastened her legs. Having
thus secured her, the villain took from her pocket twenty so-
vereigns and a fire pound note. While Mrs. Proctor was
being thus manacled, she heard the voices of two other men
below, and the noise of breaking open the drawers In the
parlour. The robberaner plundering the room of plate,
linen, Be. went down stairs, but came up again and 'warned
her to be silent or he would return. and the loss of her life
would be the consequence. Whilst he was up stairs the se-
eond time, and his associates below, the servant returned
from the chemist's, and on entering the passage found the
two men there, site considered they were too business. ago

tertain hopes of his speedy arrest.
