l.ning's mail afford many additional extracts,
from late foreign journals, some Of which are
quite interesting, though notimportant.
1t lis stated in the London Globe that in or
der TO assist the Silk trade, many of the candi-
dates for parliament, at the approaching cleo
ton, have resolved to distribute silk handker
chiefs among their supporters. Should this
become general, it will occasion the expendi-
turc of several hundred thousand pounds in this
branch alone.
The lates. Paris papers and letters received
in London, spoke very confidently Of an inten-
ton on the part of the French ministers TO re-
establish censorship Of the press. This pro-
lect, it is asserted, is forced upon them BY the
congregation or association OF the Jesbits who
had been repeatedly foiIed in their attacks on
the Journals, in the courts of law.
The Augsburg Gazette says: "Rccent letters
from Constan,inopic announce that in rhessaly
fresh rebellion has broken out, and the Greek
captain 1'has dc Trikeri is at the head ofit."
Letters of the 4th of April from St>Peters-
DuTSH oldlC totai III tiiS
Russian Cabinet is talked OF.
Letters from Warsaw mention disturbance
having broke out in that capital, but il was soon
put down by the prompt and energetic mea-
sures adopted by the grand duke Constantine.
Brussels papers of the 18th May, announce
that Lord Cochrane has left that capital on his
way to Greece.
A Geneva paper says it is proposed to send
Swiss colony to Greece.
Tie council of state Of Geneva have decided
against allowing monument to be erected to
Rousseau. They say no statues have been G.
rected to great men 10 whom Geneva is indebt-
ed for its existence and its preservation, but
that the citizens have raised monuments 10
them in their hearts, that these were more du-
rable and more suitable TO a state like theirs,
where every thing ought to call to mind the
simplicity and modes,y of their ancestors.
The Nuremberg papers Of May 10th say,
that the failure Of the house of Fries, at vi
emma, is one Of the greatest misfortunes Of the
kind that has occurred for long time a, vi
emma; and the ruin is said to be so complete,
that, according to the latest accounts from the
imperial capital, the effects do not promise the
creditors above five per centum. One great
house is reported to lose above million of
forms by this failure, which does not seem
improbable, when we consider that the late
chief partner Of the house OF Fries is the same
Mr.. David Parish who has appeared one Of
the principle contractors in most Of the great
loans that have been negotiated for some years
past.
The intelligence Of the state Of the Country,
as received in London on the 22d Of May, does
not seem to authorize the belief that the dis
tress has approached its termination AT Ii
verpool, indeed, we hear that the sales of cot
ton have been large, and that the price has adj
vanced, but from the manufacturing districts
the accounts are still gloomy.
A London paper remarks that il is not ge-
neralIy known that Captain Maitland, of the
Royal Navy (who commanded His Majesty's
ship Bellerophon, when Buonaporle surrender
ed himself,) KEEP, journal Of the events which
transpired during Napoleon's residence on
board that vessel, between the oath of May
and the 9Th of August, 1915. From various
reasons, says the Editor, it has not hitherto
been Judged advisable to give this interesting
document to the world; out, it having lately
been seen by Sir Walter Scott, who strongly
urged the necessity Of its publication, as a Me-
moir of great historical importance, Captain
Maitland has obtained the concurrence Of His
Maes,y's Government in laying it before the
public.
A singular outrage is said to have been COM
mitted at Smyrna, by Frenchman, who, it
seems, wished to murder Sir Hudson Love-
We subjoin an extract OF letter from Smyrna,
dated the Sd Of April, s26:--"Sir Hudson Lowe,
who is here on his way to India, was very nea.

who probably meant, according to his notions,
TO avenge his country. The French consular
agent, Perry, got into the house where Sir Hud-
son resided, and finding the doors Of the apart.
ments shut, he broke them open, and DESTROYED
all the effects Of Sir Hudson, who was fortu-
nately absent on board ship. Perry was arm

declared aloud that he should find means to get
