LONDON HOAX.

The greatest hoax that ever has been
heard of inthis metropolis, was yesterday
practised in Berner's street, Oxford street.
The house of Mrs. Tottenham, lady OF
fortune at No. 50, was beset by dozen
trades people at one time, with various COM
inodities, and from the confusion, although,
such crowds had collected as 10 render the
street impossible. Wagons. laden with coal
from the Paddington WHATS, upholster's
goods in cart loads, organs, piano fortes, lin
ems, jewellery, and every description of fur
niture sufficient to have stocked the whole
street, were lodged as near as possible the
door of 81, with anxious trades people and
a laughing mob. About this time the Lord
Mayor Of London arrived in bis carriage,
and two livery servants, but his Lordship's
stay was short, and he was driven to MARI
borough street police Office. As bis Lord.

then expressed hope that single and

had received note purporling to have come
from Mrs. Tottenham, which stated tha' she
had been summoned to appear before n'm
but that she was confined to her bedroom
by sickness, and requested his Lordsn'ps

multiplicity of trades people who were TT

laughing at them. The officers belonging
to Marlborough street were Immediately or

The first scene witnessed by the officers
was six stout men bearing an organ, surroun'
ded by coal mert hants, with permits, bar
bers with wings, mantua ma kers witt band
boxes. opticians with their various articles
of trade, and such was their pressure OF
trades people who had been duped, that at
O'Clock all was CONSERVATION and coniu-

was enlisted TO dispense the people. and they
were placed at the corner of Berner's street
to prevent trades people from advancing to-

streets were not cleared at a late hour, as

LATEST FROM EUROPE

[By the ship Canton which arrived yes
terday from Liverpool, wehave London,
files to april 27th
4fThe accounts from Naples and Pi ed
mont had lost much of their interest
The old governor of the Duchy of Genoa
had been restored the Piedmontese lead
ers had been refused an asylum in Genoa,
and had embarked for Spain. The Duke
had sent Populations to the king, and the
commander of the royal army, to implore
that no foreign troops may enter the
Duchy, where tranquility was permanent
ly restored. The Austrians were march
ing into Piedmont to punish the sedi-
tious"
The revolt of the Grecians in Turkey
continued lively; but the accounts too
much resembled those from Naples du-
ring the hours of hope.-By these it ap-
pears, that the Greeks were flying in
squadrons from various parts of Europe,
to Join the standard of independence; and
the London Courier remarks, that if this
enthusias m be really felt, the Porte will
have an arduous struggle to make, be-
fore it can hope to terminate the business.
But by the details of news, it appeared
that prince Ypsilanti had only three thou
sand men with him, and that the Greek
army had only two cannon! The Greeks
had captured Is Turkish vessels, and oh
tanned booty of 100000 dollars.
News of the overthrow Of the Neapo-
Titan revolution had been received in Spain
1t excited no alarm there: and the king
had announced to the Cortes, that he was,
from this event, more firmly resolved
than ever, to observe, and caused to be OBJ
served, the constitution with which his
throne and person are identified" An
appropriate subsistence had been decreed
by the Cortes to the Neapolitan refugees
should they seek an asylum in Spain.
The new order of things in Portugal
proceeded without interruption. The
Cortes has confiscated part of the estate
of the clergy.
1t is not expected that the Allies will
make any attempts on Spain or Portugal.
But there is to be grand congress of the
sovereigns at Vienna.
