TWO DAYS LATER

=
rived this morning from Liverpool, brings our
adviccs to the 2lst. of April, inclusive. The
following summary embraces all we find Of any
moment.
In reply to some charges that Mr. Canninp
had not proceeded with sufficient promptness
IN the formation OF the new Ministry, the Cou-
rier Of April 10, says:
The accusation is unfounded. II is lust
one week since Mr.. Canning found himself in
the unprecedented situation in which he was
suddenly placed, and already the two great
services of the country, the navy and army,
nave been attended to, as well as the impor-
tant civil officer Of Lord Chancellor. Docs
TINS look like either delay or ndecision We
may cnahchSe, on the contrary, those who
complain, to produce case, where so mucb
promptitudc, under similar circumstances, has
been displayed. There is such thing as mis-
chievous haste, which leaves more to undo
than IL apparently done. We have the satis-
faction OF knowing that every thing is pro-
ceedng in way entirely agreeable 10 the
wishes of his Majesty, and calculated to con-
vince the country, that the new Government.
when completed in all its details, will deserve
Its confidence and support. More than this
cannot be justly required.
The Globe of the Goth, says, no ministerial
arrangements can yet be positively announced
The communications between Mr. Canning
and the Marquis ofeLansdowne continue
though some difficulties naturally may be ex-
pccted to occur in the discussions, there is no.
thing to lead to the apprehension that thew
will not be overcome.
The new Times Of the 2Ist saws. "tbe ro-
naming arrangements Of the new Ministry
continue to excite the intense and undivided
interest ofthe country.
II is reported that Mr. Plunkctt is to be an
pointed Master of the Rolls, in the room of
Sir John Copley, with a pecragc.
The Brussels papers announce tho demolition
ofthc citadel of that city, which was built by
the Spaniards to keep down the inhabitants
The news from Lisbon is TO the Ist of April.
The sittings of the Chambers had terminated
The accusation brought against the Ministers,
OF being the authors of the ills which desolate
Portugal, by their system of moderotis,u. was
rejected. Consequently the Ministry will un-
dergo no change for the present,
The English army remains stationary. and
the Quartcrnaster General constantly resides
AT Coimbra.
The fear of new invasion seems to have
ceased, for the greater part of the officers
were at Lisbon, for a holiday.
The project of the law ofthe press, which
excited so much attention, and for a time so
much alarm, in France, has ben withdrawn by
the ministry.
BY extracts from the French papers, which
are to the 10th, it appears that the Gree frig-
ate had been despatched from Toulon with
sealed orders, which were not to be opened
till she passed the Straits of Gibraltar.
II is asserted again, that there is no doubt of
the determination of the British Cabinet TO
come to decisive arrangement with the
Porte, relative to the affairs of Greece. Or
ders have been sent to the commanding Gen.
eral, 1t is said, to concentrate the troops,
amounting to 100 900, on the Pruth

GREECE.
The Greeks had obtained advantages in diff
ferent parts Of Western Greece. Karaiskaki
was in the vicinity Of Lopanto, after having
raised the whole country between Missoongh
and Salona. Athens, though closely blockadod
by about 5000 Turks under Kulahi Pacha (who
was represented at Zante and Corfu, as having
raised the siege) continued to hold out most
bravely, nor was there any serious apprchen-
sons entertained Of rs failing.
We find brief notice, from a letter dated
Corfu, March l3, of a singular ceremonial in
honor of the return Of Sir +. and Lady Adams
to the Ionian Islands A tournament was given
in the ancient manner, each Knight wearing
the colors of his Lady. The wearer Of those
Of Lady Adam was victorious. Great numbers
Of spectators were attra cted to view this enter
tainment.
