The report of the fall of Missolonghi is contra
dicted
The Paris Eoile states, upon the authority OF let
tiers from Corfu of the 25th and 18th March, that
the garrison of Mssolonghi still held out. The
letters give the details of the assault and cap
lure of Anatolico, which correspond, in point o.
date, with the account of the alleged fall of Misso
longhi. Where the truth lies, says the Globe, {
know rot.
Fresh disturbances had occurred in Spain: con-
spracy to revolutonise that country had been dis
covered--it is said 10 have originated in secret
societies. From The confessions of one of the
conspiraiors il appears that there is in London a
Directing Revolutionary Committee, OF which
Nina is President.
The Globe of the 22d contains an article on the
subject OF the visit of the Duke of Wellington TO
ST. Petersburg, which was " avowedly 10 com
pliment the Emperor on his accession" The Gore
says. 90 Many circumstances make it highly impro-
bable that Russia will engage in hostilities with
Turkey, except dnder such explanation as 10 the
causes, and such guarantees to the final purpose
of it, will satisfy the other powers Of Europe.
The general tendency OF the present measures of
the Russian government Is 10 lessen tie power of
the military force. The empire now, as it gener-
ally has been, is very feeble i'll its financial resour-
ce-, and incapable of extensive of offence;
the Emperor, besides, Inberiing the policy oil
Alexander, is closely united with The Prussian mo-
march. There does not appear the least probability
that under such circumstances he would provoke
all the powers of Europe, who, tie point of
limiting Russia within its present bounds, have tie
most perfect union OF feeling and interests. We
sincerely hope, that with the general consent of
all, some hterposition in favor of the pershing
Greeks will take place; beyond that, war is as i'm
probable as it would be pernIcious''

news Of the fall OF Missolonghi was premature
Notwithstanding thu particularly with which it was
given, and there was reason 10 believe that that
fortress had not surrendered at the last dates.

Serious riots had taken place among the labor
ing classes at Accrington, which were finally
checked by the military. Several factories were par

In the House OF Commons, on the 18Th April
a petition presented praying that the House
would take measures to bring about the abolition
of slavery in the colonies, when Sir Isaac Coffin
rose and remarked that he was glad the people of
England were at length coming 10 their senses
upon this question OF slavery. He agreed with
those who proposed as an experiment, that an is
