iulhuio diilVeu mere last evening from
Liverpool, by which we have received
our regular files Of London papers to
the evening of the 29th May, and Liv-
erpool dates of the LIST June.
Their most prominent feature relates
to
TURKEY AND GREEcE.-It now appears
that the late fire at Cairo by which the
Vlceroy's magazines were blown up,
was the work of the ancient Mameluke
Chief lbrahim Bey, who is stated to-
have acted at the secret instigation of
the Porte which had promised him the
government Of Egypt. This enterpris-
ing chief is a personal enemy OF the
viceroy, who had caused all his family
to be massacred; and is said to have by
a coup de main made himself master of
the citadel of Cairo, which commanded
the city. The Wachabites continued
to annoy the Turks, and intestine divi-
siops prevailed in Albania. To add 10
these untowarL events, the plague was
raging violently in exandria, and it
was generally believed that in the event
of the failure of the next campaign
with the Greeks, the Mussulmen would
rebel against the Porte.
The course pursued by the patriots
is represented as extremely prudent
They had a corps on the frontiers of
Macrinoras waiting for an opportunity
TO favor the party in Albania which
might declare against the Porte. No op-
portunity was lost by the Greeks to an
noy their oppressors. Their vessels
almost covered the sea, and orders had
been issued by the Admiralty at Hydra,
to capture all vessels belonging 70 the
Viceroy of Egypt laden with supplies
for the Turkish lortresses. An article
in the Augsburg Gazette states the a.
mount Of the Greek army at 10000
men, of which 10000 were ready to
march, and that the greatest unanimity
prevailed throughout the country. 1t
was considered certain. owing 20 the
difficulties felt by the Porte, that the
long talked of expedition for the recon
quest of the Morea, would never leave
the Dardanelles.
ALGIERs.-We have nothing new re-
specting the dispute between England
and Algiers. twas reported that the
former had taken possession of Ceuta,
with view to make it another Gibral-
tar. Another account says that Ceuta
had been seized by the Moors. Ac-
courts had been received in London of
the capture Of an AIgerine frigate by
the Neapoitans, after severe contest
Of one hour.
1t hatl been determined by the near
relatives of Lord Byron, that his re-
mains should be brought TO England,
and deposited in Poets Corner, in West
Minister Abbey. The present Lord By
ron lately Captain George Arson Byron)
had commissioned the Blonde, 46, order
ed TO be brought forward Immediately at
WooIwich, tor the purpose of conveying
home the body.
SOUTH AMERIcA.-Accounts from Brus-
seIs Of the god May, confirm the intelli-
gence formerly received, that Ferdinand
had finally rejected the mediation of En-
gland as to South America, and that he
would never consent to the independ-
ence of his ancient colonies, but would
leave the matter 70 the decision of
Congress of European Sovereigns. The
London Courier of the 25th May states,
on the authority of letters from Madrid,
that " the expedition fitting out at Cadiz
is in state of great torwardness, and
will consist of $4,000 men, who are to
be ready by the beginning Of July"
This statement having been disputed by
some of the papers, it was reiterated by
the Editor Of the Courier, who seems to
consider the designs of Ferdinand on his
ancient colonies" as no longer prob
lematical. The renewal of the treaty
for the occupation of Spain by the French
during a longer period than was origi-
ually intended, certainly gives colour to
the statement that "A great proportion of
the troops of the former we're intended
for South America.---We should suppose
that this measure so obviously intended
on the part of France to promote the
views of the Spanish monarch, will not
be viewed with Indifference by the Brit
ish government which has so pointedly
declared, that any foreign interference
in the dispute between Spain and the
colonies, would be considered as a mo-
tive for recognising the latter without
delay.
FRANcE.-The London Courier of the
28th May states as report in the city,
that the health of the King of France
was in so precarious state that the
next arrivals might probably bring an
