Greece, sent an official note 10 the Refs fendi
in which he insisted on suspension of hostili-
ties, in order that they might endeavor to come
10 some definite arrangement The other Ea-
ropean Ministers took no part in these proceed
ings, except Nj. Minziacky, who also sent a
note, demanding settlement with the Greeks,
in virtue Of the protocol of st Peiersburgk,
dated the 4th Of April, 1926. He added tina,
the Greeks were in such situation as would
sooner or later effect their emancipation; and
that should it turn out otherwise, Russia would
not remain passive spectator during their de-
struction. This cooperation on the part oftwo
prepondera'ing powers, gives hope to the cause
Of the Greeks"
"Constaniinapie, Feb. IL M. Won Minziacky,
without waiting for the arrival OF the Russian
Ambassador, the Marquis de Ribeaupierre, had
presented very energetic note relative TO the
pacihca alton of Greece, which is said TO contain
the following remarkable passage:-
"The Sublime Porte itself must desire an in
tervention; for il the Greeks should prove con-
querors, they would also, in all probability, seek
an intervention; and if the Greeks should. be
subdued, the Porte should not indulge in the
deusion, that the Emperor Nicholas would re-
main an inactive spectator of the massacre Of
his fellow believers"
This remarkable declaration, the Authenticity
Of which is affirmed on the most respectable
authority, has caused an extraordinary sensa-
ton here, and people are very curious to see
how the Divan will act, after the arrival Of VI.
de Ribeaupitrre; il is we'll known that the Refs
Ehend had previously replied, to the ccntiden-
tial verbal overtures of Mr.. S. Canning and NJ.
Minziaoky.
Affairs OF PoRTuGAL.-From the general
complexion Of the conflicting accounts from the
Peninsula, it seems pretty evident that the re-
belion in Portugal is not as completely crus n
ed as was supposed. Fresh troops were on
their way from England. Accounts received
at Lisbon, from Valencia, state that the pre-
tended disarming Of the rebels who entered
Spain was mere mockery; that the farce OF
taking away their muskets was gone through;
but that in eight DAYS after, Spanish muskets
were supplied them from the same hands, and
the insurgents re-equipped, then quilted SPAN
to join their associates in Tras-os-Monles. Let
,ers received from Portalegre, Of the 18th Feb
state that number of Spanish Commissarles
had been discovered in various Provinces OF
Portugal who were the emissaries CT the Apos-
tolic faction, and were deputed, with supplies
of Spanish gold, TO excite revolt, ard seduce the
Constitutional soldiers from their standard.
The crater of revolt flames fercely in lras-os
Monies. Chayes is yet in full force in that
province, and, II appears, has proclaimed gen
eral lew, with the penalty Of death 10 all eva
ding it. The government must act with new
energy, or the revolt will spread But treason
and disaffeo ton surround the throne, and para
lyse every effort of the Infan,a's Government:
The Morning Post says it appears by the VI
| fetal Military Reports, that the progress oil
the Constitutional Army had been considera-
bly, retarded by the exhausted state OF It's cav
| airy; Of which circumstance, however, the re-
bells had not been able materially 10 avail them
selves; and On The whole, the general complex
ion Of affairs was of the most favourable de-
scripiion a mutiny hac taken place among
the Rebels at Chaves, who demanded the heads
Of two officers. On its being ascerianed that
the Constitutional troops were advancing, gene
raj disorder ensued among the Rebels, and the
Officers taking advantage of the confusion es-
capped, and went in the morning Of the 22d to
Gen Mello, who was in the Boticas, and was
marching TO Chaves.
| FROM SpAIN-The Swiss regiments, who
had lately garrisoned Madrid, and were 10 have
been stationed at Pau, had received counter or
ders to march to Perpignan, in consequence OF
some disturbances which are said 10 have bro
ken out in Catalonia. The "Echo du MIDI
states, on the authority Of letters from Madrid
| of the 26th February, that an extensive conspi-
racy had been detected in one Of the provinces,
and that several arrests had taken place The
last letters from Madrid, 10 the LIST OF March,
say, tina, the hustle of warlike preparation still
continued, and that nothing was spoken OF but
war Six thousand horses had been purchased
to mount the Cavalry and complete the Ord
nance; and these letters add, that the Spanish
treasury was amply supplied, and that money
was never more plentiful in the days OF Charles
| ii.
! A private letter from Madrid Of February g.
saws: "Mr. Lamb and our Minister for Foreign
Affairs are again at variance in their debates
| The cause Of their dispute is said to originate
from the following circumstances. All the ar
,ilery which has been taken by the Cons'ltu'
,ionalists from the Marquis of Chaves and his
| party, appears to have been manufactured at Sc
! Vile. This, therefore, has become rather an
embarrassing question 10 our Government
] which has reserved to itself the sole monopoly
offounding cannon and keeping them Tor III
! own use, .and which consequently cannot throw
the blame OF this discovery on individuals.
