vice. All the vessels are well manned and equip
ped, and the expedition, it is thought will be ready
to sail by the 9TH of February. The have
ceived two months pay in advance, and have been
well clothed gratis Two ketches have arrived from
Dunkirk, laden with coal for the steamers. The
vessels and their cargoes are present from some
friends, French gentlemen, of the cause of Donna

Don Pedro.-Don Pedro was to he at Belle Isle
on Friday last, to take the commands chief of the
army and land forces against Don Miguel BY way
Of preparing for the worst, he has by will, made pro-
per arrangements as to his private property which
is considerable in cash, diamonds and estates; but
he does not entertain any doubt of success. During
his stay in France he has observed great economy in
every respect so that his expenditure has very lit
tie exceeded that of u private genteman.--CoGn

VIENNA, Jan. 5-An English courier was des-
patched yesterday for London; his dispatches were
supposed to relate to Don Pedro's intended expedi-
tlon against Portugal, and TO the prevention of re-
acton IN the Peninsula, in case Don Pedro should
succeed. We hear hardly any thing of Poland. 1t
seems that our Cabinet leaves it entirely to the wis
dom of the Emperor of Russia, to regulate the ai-
fairs OF that kindom as his generosity shall pre-
scribe, and the wants of the country, with which
he is well acquainted require.-Of what use, it is
asked by some, would complete independence be to
Poland If the sentiment of nationality be pur-
chased by the destruction of all manufactures and
trade? If Russia excludes the productions of Po-
land from its markets, the trade of the country is
ruined, and 1t can never its ancient prosper-
ty. The expedition of the Pacha of Egypt to Syria
also gives rise to frequent exchange of couriers-
The conduct of Mehemet Ali has always been so
prudent that must suppose either that he is sick
of his object, that he has, in of failure,
means in reserve, which will secure him from per-
sonal danger: ut all events, his rebellion would be
far more dangerous to the Porte than that of the
Pacha of Scutari; we, therefore, look forward with
impotence for news from Consantinople and Egypt.
It is said that the projected marriage of the King of
Naples with Princess of Sardinia, will not take
place.
A second edition of the Falmouth Packet, dated

A French schooner bound to ST. MichaePs, with
the Marchoness dc Pamela and suite, put in by
contrary winds this afternoon, by which learn
that Don Pedro will leave Brest this day with his
squadron for Tercera."
III this he true, we cannot help wondering at the
conflicting variety of reports put forth respecting
the movements of Don Pedro and his expedition

BELGIUM.
The Brussels papers of Tuesday have arrived,
but their contents not important. The Emanuel
patton states that according to letters from Lille, a
report had prevailed there of the movement of some
Dutch troops in Flanders, upon which some French
regiments had approached the frontiers.

The number of cartridges distributed within
the last few days to the troops cautioned i'm the en-

Letters from Lille announce, that in conse-
quence of the reports current for days respect

several French regiments have approached the from

Correspondence Of London Comier.)
MALTA, Jan. 4.-By the steamer Messenger, from
Corfu, we have accounts from Naupa to the Goth
ultimo. That distracted country is again the seat
of civil discord and bloodshed The contcndng
parties met at Argos, where the National Assembly
was TO be held came to blows, and about a hun
dred persons lost their lives. 1t appears that about
the 10Th of Deccrsbera proclamation relative to the
intended Assembly, was posted on the walls of Ar
COS by the acting Government. Grivas, one of the
Roumcho Chiefs, who had signaliZed himselfs so re-
peatedy during the revolution, and who consigned
to the President the Notifications of NaupIia where
he was considered the Liberator, it is said tore
down this Proclamation; the Governor of Argos
named Mavromati, one of those who accompanied
Capo d'lstras INTO Greece, quarreed with Grivas
parties came to blows The Roumelots were twice
beat 10y the Government troops and cavalry; but on
third attack, it is said they routed Them and forced
them TO take refuge at Nauplia
This we feel inclined 10 consider the last founder
ing of the Capo d'Istras party in Greece
POLAND
The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 10Th inst has an
article from Berlin of the 18th, in which it is stated
that the PrussIan Government is eXerng itself TO mi
tgate the suffIrings of the Poles who have sought
refuge within its dominions. We are assured from
the source, that there has been gross exagge-
ration in the accounts so often repeated of the con-
duct of the Russian Authorities in Poland.
Frontiers Of Poland, Dec. 3l.-It seems that final
resolutions with respect to the fate of Poland, are
at length likely be taken. Since the return ofthe
Emperor to ST Petersburg, hear it frequently af-
irmed that it seems more for the interest of Russia
TO make of Poland distinct province, though with
out free institutions, than TO incorporate it with the
empire; and that therefore kingdom of Poland NAV
exist in name but need not that account have any
kind of Independence. This resolution is not
founded on any considerations with respect TO TO-
reign powers, but on general system adopted as q
principle which will be continued to the advan-
tage OF Russia, and as warning to the ancient
Polish provinces not to banker after Independence
Many families fearing they may be compelled al
ways to reside in the Kingdom, have already sought
permission to settle in the interior of the Empire
which, however, will hardly be granted them. No
thing has yet been done to revive the manufac-
lures; the contrary every body is endcavorine
to wind up his affairs, and to live in retirement.
The policy Of the Russian Cabinet, with respect TO
its foreign relations is evidently more decided 1t
now clearly expresses its sentiments on the great af-
fairs of EurODe and n1nuifests its
