populace had been fred upon by the
kings guards. aud in consequence had
eviaced a Opposition to attack him in
his palace; but by the Intervention of
the Cortes, any more serious affray was
prevented.
" On the following day, a report ha-
wing prevailed that the guards would
be disarmsd a large portion Of them,

their course towards a province, where
the malcontents were reported to have
gained some considerable successes.
Most Of their officers deserted them
when this measure was resolved upon.
Another account Of the mutiny
amongst the kings guards, states, that
they had proceeded no further than to
one Of the kings palaces in the vicin-

from the province were unfavorabIe,
the indictments increasing in strength,
and in Catalonia represented as having
large forces on foot.
" A plan has been laid before the
Cortes for an entire new division Of the
kingdom of Portugal into circles. dis-
triets, and parishes.
" Another account represents that
four battaliOns Of the guards, comprising
about 1900 men, marched out of Ma.
drid on 1st, and on the 9Th were at the
Pradu. Their object was 10 enforce The
royal authority in Navarro, &c. The
government had sent General Mori.lo

THE GREEKS.
Account have been received at Paris, of
the failure OF an attempt, on the part of the
Greeks, 70 carry Nspoli di Rouania by
storm. This Is attributed to the want of
concert in the operations of the psttio,s.-
Other account, say hat the fortress had sur
rendered. The statements respecting the
English govern ment cooperating with the
Turks, in their attempts to subdue the
Greeks, are reiterated. An English vessel
captured by the Patriot squadron. for VIC.
ia,ion OF the blockade OF Canea in Crete, is
said to have been forced back by tbs British
vessel of war, Medina. To show that the
blockade ofthe Ottoman ports was not illu.
sorry, the Provincial government of Greece
had sent twelve ships Of war, TO cruise before
Patras, in the Gulf Of Lepanto and on the
coast of Albania. Four Austrian vessels, Ia-
den with supplies for the Turks, had been
captured; but the Greeks, out of respect for
the great power, nnder whose flag they sail
ed, had ordered Ikhem ID be- setfrse, on con.
dition that their cargoes should be cold in
Christian port
The Greeks atSaionicsl, after having SOS.
tanned series Of overwhelming reyerses, had
been reduced by the troops Of the Pacha to a
situation almoet az depoFable as that of the
inhabitants OF Scio. The whole country,
bordering on Mount Olympus, had been raw,
aged by fire and sword, in consequences of
the inhabitants having refused to deliver up
their arms Most Of the towns and villages
had been reduced to heap of smoking ru.
