The Roman Catholick Relief Bill was la
ken up on the third reading, in the House of
Commons on the Both, and after long de-
! bate was passed by vote of $40 to l42-I
). majority 178, and sent to the House OF
Lords for concurrence. When the question
was put for sending the bill up, there was
very loud and general cheering. Several
members approached Mr.. Peel, with whom
they shook hands, and offered him their con-
gratulatons.
The Irish forty shilling freeholders dis
| reimbursement bill, was also read third time
and passed.
! The London Courier supposes that the
| Catholick Relief Bill will pass the House of
Lords by majority of 50-others suppose
the majority may be 10. 1t was expected
that the second reading of the bill would
take place on the 9th of April-the commit
tee on the 9th--the report on the lSth-the
Sd reading on the 18th, and the royal assent
be given before the adjournment for Easter
Holidays.
i The accounts from Smyrna are to the 2lst
of Feb. Interviews continued to take place
between M. Jaubert and the Refs Efendi,
but they were ,uninteresting, and would con-
tinue so till the return of the answers from
London and Paris. The Porte hopes that
the ministers of those powers would return
to Constantinople, or some place in the vi
cinity, to come to a final arrangement. 1t
! was supposed that Russia had agreed that
1 the affairs of Greece should be treatedby the |
/ two plenipotentiaries, and that it had prom
/ ised to assent to whatever might be done. |
When this arrangement is made, it would
Immediately lead to mediation between the |
4 two belligerent powers. Meantime, the
preparations are continued Troops werel
1 daily arriving from Asia, and great quanti- !
4 ties of cannon and ammunition were en-
barked and sent to Rodosto, to fortify several
points on the Sea of Marmora and on the
side of Adrianople, corn was daily becoming
more scarce and very dear. The Porte had
| however taken measures, by which it was
expected to relieve this scarcity.
Advices from Egina announce that two
Russian ships of the line and two frigates
had gone to cruise off Gambia, Rhodes and
Alexandra, to interrupt all conveys from
Egypt
According to the Allgemeine Zeitung of
the 21st, Sir F.. Adam, the Lord High Com
missioner of the Ionian Islands had gone to
JOANNA to visit the new Grand Vizier Reds
child Pacha, before his departure for the Dan
ube, to put himself at the head of the Otto
I man armies. His visit was supposed to be
connected with the projected arrangements
respecting Greece, Redschd Pacha being
better able to interfere effectually in the
settlement of that important question. On
! the Coast of Gambia, the Turks are said to
have taken many vessels with fugitive Greek
| families, especially women, on board, and
Notwithstanding their applications, to have
thrown them into the sea and sunk the YES

4 The London Courier of March 80, says
According to the Gazette de France Of Sat
urday, a new treaty has been concluded and
signed between England, France and Rus
STA, which relates to the settlement Of Greece,
1 and has been sent to Constantinople to be
notified to the Turkish Government. After
the engagement entered into by the three
4 Courts in 1897, no new treaty was necessary.
Their object was defined, their determine
ton clearly and firmly expressed, and the
steps since taken to carry it into effect have
4 been equally publick and decisive. We are
happy however to be able to confirm the
statement of the Gazette, the most perfect
harmony continues to exist between the
three Powers.
i According to the letters from Syria, in the
Allgemeine Zeitung, the Sultan would not
accede to the proposals of M. Jaubert, and,
indeed, to nothing which came in the shape
of proposals. The allies, it is said must act
without him and he then will agree to what
they have done. If they would positively
. and irrevocably recognize the independence
of Greece, and declare that the Morea, the
! Cyclades, Attica, Lvadia and Negropont
/ from separate State, and that any attempt
of the Porte against it, will be considered as
declaration of war, the Porte must yield to
necessity. The Sultan may contradict the
Divan by refusing to accede to the terms
proposed, but will never venture against the
will of the Divan to declare war against
France and England.
According to the London Courier of the
Both the accounts from the frontiers of Servia,
! say that the appointment of Redschid Pacha
: as Grand Vizier will change the whole sys-
, TEN of the war. The Turks have not here
tofore acted on any general plan, but each
separate commander has followed his own
views, or rather those to which circumstan-
ces gave rise. Redschid, who has acquired
ed considerable experience in the Greek con-
test, is fully aware of the Importance of COM
bined operations, and has determined to make
: every movement tend to one great object In
order to confirm the Governors of fortresses
/ in the faithful discharge of their duties, or
! rather in order to prevent the surrender of
. the remaining strong holds on the Danube
till the very last extremity, commissioners
have been sent to each Of them, forming SUI
: periour councils, by whom the conduct Of the
Governors is to be controlled.
The Committee of nine Gentlemen, ap-
!. pointed at the request Of DR.. Knox, to inyes-
