The Cholera was subsding ID London on the a2d. There were only five cases.
 PortugGl.-There is no longer any doubt that secret treaty for mutual defence exists between Don Miguel and the King of Spain. The French and English Ministers of foreign 1 affairs have informed the Spanish Ministers that their governments will not allow FeFdi- hand to send troops to the assistance of Don 1 Miguel.
 Don Psdro's first squadron had been \spO- ken at sea, having suffered no injury during 1 the variable weather which had been expert enced; and it. was supposed at Belle Isle, must have arrived at Terceira. The conveys with the remaipder of the Portuguese refu- gees had arrived from Brcst at Belle Isle, and all the rest of the expedition were expected soon. '"> The Volcanic Island has re.appeared. QuarGntine Reguldtions.-By an order in Council of the 10th inst. all vessels arriving at any port or place in Great Britain from any ! infected port, to be placed under precautiOn- ary quarantine, and released if a medical man has examined and found all the persons on board to be in good health. excepting vessels ] arriving from any suspected or infected port at the port of Liverpool. in which case the ves sells are to be detained under quarantine for the space often days from the date of sailing.
 Cholera in Scotland.-The cholera has rath- CT increased in Ednburg since our last but still the number of cases is SO small, compared with the amount of population, that no cause for alarm exists. Indeed, when we reflect ] that the disease has now been twenty-two days in the town, in distinct and acknowl- edged form, and in that time has Occasioned only IA deaths in a apopuIation of 14O,OOO souls, we think we have fair grounds to acOn- ol,,In hat # Df &, l ously supported -in its efforts, and is enabled as hitherto to insulate every case the moment it appears, the effects of this dreadful scourge wiltprove extremely light compared with the apprehension it excited.-Scotsman.
 An interesting experiment was tried at Newcastle upon Tyne, Jan. 24, on the state of the a, a,n16sphere. 4 Kite was sent up, hav- ing attached to it>a piece or fresh butcher's| meat, a,.fresh haddock, and a small loaf of| bread. The kite rose toa considerable height, and remained at that elevation for an hour and quarter. When brought to the ground it was found that the fish and the piece of meat were both in a'pttrid state, but particu. larly the fish {; and tile loaf of bread when ex. amined through a microscope, was discover ed to be pervaded by legions of animalcula. Fl must have read of experiments of this ma ttire, but the results have escaped my recol. lection. From reflection, or from any cir cun'stanccs can apply. shall say that such effects are unusual. It may be worth while to repeat the experiment in other places to | which the cholera may unfortunately extend tself.-London Courier.
 IRELAND.
 Irish 7tthes.-The following is, we under stand, an outline of the plan which Ministers { intend to submit to Parliament for the purpose ofputting an end to tue frightful evils which ], have attended the enforcement of the exist ing ty,he system in Ireland. The plan em- braces two objects, the putting down of the present resistance't to the law, and the extinc- ton of the tythe system. The first step which the committee recommend for the ac- complishnent of those objects is that of ena- bling his Majesty "to advance to incumbents l. of parishes, not having received their tythe, sums Of money proportiOned to the income of each fOr the year l831." By this operation the tithe will bs converted into debt to the ] Grown, and enforced, if necessary, under less obnoxious f0rm-the attorney general to proceed for the recovery of the same in vari- ous modes to be prescribed by the act of par lament. But the most important rccom- mendaticn of the report is that which sug- gests the total abolition of 1.-the, and the substitution of an equivalent, either in the forn, Ol o lax On lduu or aU eXCnaOS0 In ldDUs HE either case, it is hoped that the ferment hich now exists in Ireland upon ttis subject will | be appeased without recourse to extraordina. 1 ry powers. l Paris, Feb. 20.-Ths cholera has created no little degree of fear in this capital, and ev- cry precaution is adopted by the police, in case 1t should visit us. Papers and letters cOming from England now undergo the or. deal of vinegar; but all this " i'll only be for short time.
 GREECE. |
 The Courier announces positively that the 1 three Powers who have taken Greece under their protection, viz. Great Britain. France and Russia,' have determined to put an end to the disturbed state of that country by es- tabIishing a regular government, under the | direction of a constitutional Sovereign. The Prince selected by the conference is OthO, the second sen of the King of Bavaria, a young man 17 years of age, who is said to possess considerable requirements, aud to bear an ex- cellent character. A regency appointed by [ the three Powers is to have the management "f affairs during his minority. It does not ap- | pear that the Greeks themselves are to have any voice in the matter, further than mere confirmation of the boy kings election.
