Dates from ConstantinopIe TO the Goth March
states that tie exile of the former Grand 'lL!er,
Nehem Selim Pacha, to the Monastery In Mace
donna, has created much sensation.
The French feet destined against Aiglers VIII
consist of 20 ships OF war, among them II SHIPS

The Augsburg Gazette contains the following,
dated Vienna, April 15:-'.itis reported that a
French courier has just passed through thls caPi-
tai from Constantinople. on his way to Paris,
with intelligence of the Porte having acCedcd to
the resolution Of the London Conferences. 1t IS
also said that the banking House StiegIitz, at st.
Petcrsburch, and the house of Rothschlid, are a.
bout to contract a loan for the Porte. The Aus
trian mission to Morocco will embark next month
at Venice; several Young noblemen have applied
for leave to accompany it. The presents to the
Morocco Government ill be very valuable. Let
tiers from Trieste give 4 satisfactory account OF
the trade; several new establishments arc form

Egypt"
says:-s:The expedition against Alglers gives
uneasiness TO the Porte, because IT 1t succeeds,
the grand Seignior will not only suffer a great loss
in his revenue. but will also be deprived of the
support he has hitherto received from the forces
of that Regency. Dispatches from the Commls-
sary sent by the Sultan to AlSiers, for the pur-
pose of persuadine the Dey to comply with
the demands of France, are a~nXiously looked for.
The Turks however think that the Dey will not
agree to these demands, but will suffer affairs to
90 to eXtremIties."
The Courier de Smyrne states that the Porte,
in order to COuntcrbalance the commercial advan-
tages gained by Russia, has manifested a DISPOSE
ton to extend the same privileges to all the other
Powers, and by this equality secure itself from
the danger brought upon it by the late treaty.
Upon this principle it is, that the flags OF Spain,
Sweden. Naples, and Denmark, have been re-
lieved from the duties and formalitles hitherto re-
CURED on passing into the Black Sea. The new
sumptuary laws are enforced with great s~trictness
and are extended even to a limitation of the num-
Der of servants. SO that the highest officers of the
state cannot have more than four footmen.
Extract of a priyate letter of the 10Th inst. from
Lisbon:
"Secret societies are multiplying in Portugal
and exist in a great number Of the towns. Sc
vera individuals have recently been imprisoned
on suspicion Of being members of committees
called the Avengers of Legitimacy It'll con-
fidentIy stated that Isabella Maria, sister of Don
Miguel, has been acknowledgedby these ~associa-
tons as Regent of Portugal. The troops Of the
line are so badly paid. that many of the soldiers
nave received long luTleugnS' Oh ConuitloH tndt
they would relinquish a portion of their pay to
those who remained on service, and at the m
time would engage not to leave Portugal"
Our Correspondent at Lisbon writes under date
of the 10th instant. that an order, calling the
Governors of the Provinces of the Algarves, the
Minchio. Bcira Alta, and Beira Baixa, to the
capital, has excited considerable alarm. Many
rumors are afloat- but the most prevalent is, that
Don Miguel has obtained from Ferdinand a pro-
mise of succor in troops should a landing in Por-
tugal be effected by the Constituencies of Ter
ceira, and that these Governors of districts on
the borders of Spain have been sent for to receive
special orders as to the passage, to be granted to
the subsidiary soldiers, whose expected arrival
has revived the ancient antipathy which formerly
was carried to such a pitch between the two ma
tons. During Holy Week, according to ancient
custom, Don Miguel granted IL prisoners their
liberty, and a free pardon; but not one of them
was from the number confined for political Of
fences; he preferred rather showing his mercy to
wretch"s convicted of the most a%trocious crimes.
