have removed to Toledo.
Great changes are announced as certain in
the Spanish diplomatic corps.

massacres and excuses which have taken place
IN several cities of Spain. The prisons at Ma
drd has been broken open, and many persons,
detained for political offences, sacrificed At
>Cordoya, ahon ten have been massacred, for the

The FroEch garrison wlEch occupied Madrid
lis to repair TO ic number of 5000, to the banks
of the Tagus, whels. it will be cautioned, SO as
to surround Aranjuez, extending its lines to-
wards Toledo. This formation of kind ofcamp
has been the subject of many observations but
persons who are well informed, says the Morn
ing Herald, know that by the Treaty of Occu-
patton, lately concluded between France and
Spain the city of Madrid is not to have French
garrison, except when the king and the ROYAL
Family reside in it, and that the guardian of
them is intrusted to 5000 French under the
Immediate command Of General Bunnont, con-
scqucntly they cannot sec, in the environments
which the French troops are going to occupy on
the banks OF the Tagus, any thing more than q
natural result Of the treaty of occupation.
A junta has been appointed by aidecrce,
to settle the claims of Spanish individuals under
the treaty of 1914, by whit, France was to pay
sum of 81, 900 900 francs iof the seizures and
speliations made in Spain under Boaapartc.
It was generally believed that the King would
remain six months at Arangucz. Quesada had
received, as the barren reward of his services,
the Grand Cross Of st. Ferdinand. Such was
the state of Spain, that a reinforcement of 900
additional French troops was, it is said to enter
it immediately.
THE GREEKS.
Letters from Corfu of the 9Th March give an
important piece ofnews, but which needs r
maton--it is the surrender of Arta, by parti-
cular convention, to the Greek General Bozza-
IT'S. IL Is added, that the Albanian troops had
joined with the insurgents, who Immediately adj
vanccd towards JOANNA, which they hope like
wise soon TO bring to population. When the
Greek are once masters of these two fortresses,
they may consider themselves as finally estab-
lished in Epitus.
Lord Byron.-It was stated in London, on
the 18th, upon the authority of a letter from
Zante, that Lord Byron was dangerously i'll
that vein of the neck had been opened; and
that one of his Suliots had shot the guard of
Lord Byron, on the refusal of the guard to adj
init the Suliote into the presence of His Lord
ship. morning paper of the 18th, says-We
found, however, yesterday, that letter had
been received from the particular friend and
companion of Lord Byron, which puts an
endto all fear as to the life of His Lordship.
On the 9Th of February, Lord Byron was at
tackled by nervous convulsiye Sit, the consc-
quence of great excitement, which was really
dangerous while it lasted, but which left no 9TH
effect than excessive weakness. The affair
of the Suliote occurred on the 9Th of F ebruary.
It was private quarrel between him aud an
Englishuian, in which the latter was shot.
Letters have been received from CONSTANT
nople by an eminent Turkey merchant, which
confirm most unequivocally the report of the
declaration of Independence issued by the Pa
cha of Egypt. The reports of his having re-
cciyei the chief command against the Greeks,
itnow appears, were founded on accounts from
Egypt of as old date as the 9th Feb.) In or
der to induce him to accept it an offer had been
made of adding Damascus to his Paclalic.
L-,ters from Missolonghi, state that Mauro
Michcii, Boy of Mama, and Ex-President ofthc
Executive Council, who, bad for some time been
in opposition to the views of some of the best
friends of Independence has at length made a
sacrifice Of all his private interests, and accep-
ted the command in chief of the army of Liva-
da. The treaty with the AIbanans for their
cooperation with the Greeks, has had only a
partial result, but several of the provinces have
declared war against Turkey ON their own ac-
ccuat.
n meeting has been held by tic Greeks at
Nlissoionghi, in order to discuss the offensive
and defensive measures for the ensuing cam
pagn. Prince Mayrocordato presided in this
important meeting. 1t appears to be resolved
to send the whole force to Thessaly. The pro-
yinceis to be entered on three sides; one corps
seems TO be destined to Agruppa, on the west;
n second to occupy Volos, on the cast; while the
