FOREIGN NEWS.
1.-THE ship Caledonia, at New-York, has brought
London papers to July 3lst.l
The British Parliament was prorogued
on the 2Sth for one month. The speech.
which was delivered by commission, does
not give much light on the affairs of Eu-
rope, any farther than that it contains
assurances of continued good under
standing between the allied powers and
of the determination of the parties to the
treaty of July 6, to carry the objects of
that treaty into effect.
A French army was about to sail from
Toulon for the Morea, to embark on the
5th and sail on the 18th of July. The
Paris Moniteur announces that the expe-
dition was to be commanded by Lieut..
Gen. the Marquis Maison, and names four
Major Generals who are to act under his
command. The armament is to consist of
or 5000 men, with reserve of an equal
number, to be formed at Toulon. The
troops are to be landed at Napoli di Rom
ania. 1t was reported that a British
squadron was to cooperate with this arma-
ment.
1t was reported that Austria has been
invited by Russia to take temporary pos
session of Bosnia and Servia, and also that
there was to be Congress of the Allied
Powers at Laybach.
Two additional bulletins of the Russian
army have been received. The last an
nounces that the head quarters were to be
moved forward, by forced marches, to
Bazargik. The main army consists of
81 battalions, 43 squadrons, and regi-
ments of Cossacks. with $50 pieces of can
non.
Accounts from Bucharest of the LIST of
July, announce that the Russians had be-
gun to lombard Silistria, to which place
the Turkish garrison of Braihilow hadbe
permitted to retire. The garrison which
consisted originally of $4,000 men, had
sustained considerable losses both in killed
and wounded. The grand duke Michael
arrived at the head quarters on the 5th of
July, and appeared with the order Of St.
George of the I'd class, given him by the
Emperour, for the conquest of Braihilow.
1t seems that conspiracy against the
life of the President has been foiled in
Greece, and that the recent successes of
the Russians have raised the tone of the
Greeks. An article dated Smyrna, June
Is, says the Count Capo d'Istria will be
obliged to have recourse to more energet-
ick measures to govern the Greek nation,
especially since the discovery of the con-
spiracy of Colocotroni, who has been ar
rested with twenty-five of his accompli-
ces. The President, while he was at Poros,
gave formal audience to the Greek bish-
ops sent by the Sultans to propose an.
amnesty, and dismissed them with an
admonition to leave the Greek territory,
because their addresses, in which they
call upon the people to return to their
obedience to the Porte, cannot be toerat-
ed by the Greek Government.
Some disturbances are said to have
broken out in Spain: several bands of
guerillas and others have declared for Don
Carlos, in opposition to thereigning mon
arch. 1t was expected that some such
step as this would be the result of the
success of Don Miguel, in Spain we have

serious aspect, and if so, whether Ferdi-
nand, the beloved, will be able to maintain
his ground against his dutifnl brother, and
what support either party will receive
from the European powers.
